Hotels Near Surau Bakar Batu, Al-mubarak in Johor Bahru

Love the people at the front desk, they are always so happy and friendly. Check-in took a bit longer than usual but the staff were very apologetic. I stayed in the Urban room at level 12 facing the highway and river. To my surprise it was rather quiet I can’t really hear the traffic. Morning breakfast at level 6 was pretty crowded. The next morning I just went down earlier and it was great. The girls at breakfast were always happy to welcome us… keep it up 👍

I will always stay in this hotel whenever travelling to Johore Bahru. The room rate is quite economical and no changes for the past few years. The room facility has improved even the room rate remain unchanged. i have discovered that the hotel room already been put a refrigerator and the bathroom also has a glass to segregate the shower area when I stay there recently. As for hotel exterior, they have installed a mini fountain to beautify the area. Overall, satisfy to stay at this hotel.

We checked in at midnight. Everything was smooth. Room was clean, no smell of smoke & aircon cold enough. Thats what I like it!

Excellent hotel to stay in. I guess the hotel just newly renovated but the air conditioning in the room a bit old and not well maintained. The air conditioning too cold at night even though we set up 27 degrees celcius. The surface of the air conditioning was frozen. Breakfast wise very good. The quality was excellent. You will have warm croissants and warm danish pastries. Come with local dishes as well. All the staff starting from the front desk staff, the parking guard, the F&B teams was friendly. Overall stay was pretty good.

Room: Clean room and bathroom. Shower area was spacious but could do with a little more hooks. Toilet seat was clean but can see that it's old. Breakfast: Decent spread with a live egg cooking section. Just nice there was a saxophonist playing music on Sunday morning. On Saturday morning, there was a balloon artist making simple balloon sculpture for kids. Amenities: Gym looks decent. There is a pool too but we did not manage to enjoy those. Location: Very convenient, above Zenith Mall, i.e. opposite JBCC, and hence very near to JB City Square and Customs. Can go to Haidilao in Zenith Mall for supper too 😋 Service: Check-in was relatively quick. Staff at check-in counter was friendly. The staff and guard outside the breakfast place were friendly too. The housekeeper was friendly too.

Nice hotel, lobby is spacious, fast check in.. Food selection not much but acceptable spread.. Facilites such as cafe, pool and gym are shared with residence.. Has special sauna spa pool.. Fast check out and nearby to eateries.

If you are planning to go to Johor for the weekend, Z Hotel is the place to stay as it's relatively close to the checkpoint and near many famous eateries. Choose Z Hotel, the perfect place to stay.

Great room view. Good location if drive. Cleanliness still acceptable. Need improvement on soundproofing, say if kids running around or knocking things etc, downstairs can hear. Do note that on heavy rain days with strong wind, be prepared to be somewhat in the storm when walking along the corridor to reach your room. Also heavy rain will caused flooding into the room as water sipped in through the door that leads to the balcony which was locked by Ramada Suites. Overall this is a super spacious accommodation with friendly staff.

I really nice spacious room, we stayed in 307, which is a one-bed room apartment, please note there are smaller rooms. this is really good if you are staying for a few days, large living room with an induction cooker, toaster, microwave, and fridge. They also included plates and bowls. for cooking equipment and glassware, you will need to contact housekeeping, i stayed only 2 nights so i didn't bother. one big pet peeve was that the dish provided was too big for the microwave, so please heat up your food in the containers before plating them. Both the microwave and fridge worked well, it made ice in around 2 to 3 hours. the shower was great, with constant temperature and good water pressure. the bedroom lacked a TV only the TV was in the living room, so that was a bummer, the room was also a bit noisy as i think there is a family of birds living in the air-con compressor so if you are a light sleeper, you want to give this a miss. The road outside can also get noisy at all hours. The nightlife is interesting, with quite a few bars and restaurants, and lots of motorized scooter rental stores, this does have quite a big issue with me, with alot of teens and kids zooming up and down the harbor at night, it does get dangerous for families with smaller kids. The selling point of this place is its proximity to Legoland, unfortunately, it is a tad hard to get a Grabcar (a rideshare service like Uber) because at the moment the area is not as busy as it was pre-covid. i see families waiting 30mins to an hour to get a car. If you drive, there is an underground carpark (complimentary). The most disappointing was the breakfast, not enough food, and they were unable to cope with the number of people. they struggled to fill coffee pots, juice dispensers, cut fruits, and bread. once something came out, it was gone in minutes. Overall, I would recommend this place for families, just skip the breakfast and make something in the room.

Hotel is clean and chic. Location isn’t very ideal as far from city centre. But I chose this hotel cos it’s near the airport. So that’s good. Front desk May or may not be very knowledgeable about things around the area. The swimming pool faces cemetery so if that’s a concern for you then ok lor.
