Johor Bahru Hotels with Balcony

The good: comfortable bed, decent cleanliness, working aircon, game console was cool, nice view at #48. The bad: Host expect you to contact them on the day else no sound no pic. Sent a series of pictures and videos, shock to see they asked for deposit and my passport photo as part of their requirements. I’m not comfortable with that. Drivers beware: This unit located at B1-2 is damn troublesome. I had to park outside the gantry and walked all the way to the end of the building (approx 200m one way) to get the card. The guard weren’t familiar with such arrangement had to call another guard over to assist in order to let me into the mailroom to retrieve the access card. After that had to walk all the way back again to the entrance. When I drove to the gantry, the access card didn’t work, guard had to come over again to assist. End up found out it’s because the previous user did not “tap out” so we can’t “tap in”. The wayfinding in the carpark is worse ever. Don’t know where to go up, don’t know where to exit. Turn round and round the entire carpark to find and realised it’s in the middle of nowhere. Now for the accommodation itself, it’s decent. Towels were provided. No toothbrush provided but 8 combs provided instead (pic). The cups were damn disgusting (pic). Overall will not return as the carpark and checkin experience was really a huge turnoff.

Stunning undisturbed view over Johor-Singapore straits via the High level floor of 47th. Both rooms have ceiling fans and air-conditioning. Both bathrooms have basic toiletry. The kitchen has set of 4 for plates, bowls, cups. The entire unit is sparkling clean. Balcony has cloth hanging lines. Windy and not so noisy due to high floor. Very nice swimming pool and exercise track at 8th floor. Reasonable price for the quality. Surely would like to stay again. Suggestions: 1. Draw the parking lot on the the Carpark map provided. As the parking is quite huge and take a while for us to find the exit door to the lift. 2. Provide a clearer instruction map to get the key from the mail box. As there are quite many Blocks and Carpark entrances. 3. Provide a clearer instruction to go to R&F Mall via the Bridge from the 8th Floor. We have a Great Stay~Thx

Its an awesome stay with a great view! Clean place and very near to malls and places. Worth the price. Very good place. Definitely returning here.

First time book R&F 19 floor for 6pax. Room are cleaned with shampoo, toothbrush, big towel & kitchen usage. Ground floor has many restaurants and 24hrs mini mart. Yummy 12pm lunch bbq & wanton mee that closed at 3am! Car park outside the building it’s free for I think 3 hrs if not overnight need to park inside big carpark , we paid 16rm for overnight just outside the condo( no need to walk so far to carpark as we have elderly ) The only step back was they only gave us 1 room card for the whole family. The bed are not super comfortable but it’s ok for 1 night :) it will be also good if common room has 2 single bed in future. Everything was contact by WhatsApp, admin will reply within 30mins time.

Host YQYH sent Whatsapp messages 3-4 days in advance to let us know the check-in information. They have been kind. Amenities are provided. Cleanliness can be improved though. For travellers walking from JBCC to R&F, do note that there is a little construction of the overhead bridge and needed to go down and up again to reach there. We stayed in Phase 2 which needed a bit of walking compared to phase 2 buildings. Both myself and the boys slept throughout the night but not my husband. The beds are the firm type. Overall, the experience was okay for me.

Bess Homestay offers a comfortable and welcoming experience for travelers seeking a home-away-from-home atmosphere. The rooms are clean, well-maintained, and thoughtfully furnished, providing a relaxing environment after a long day. The host is warm and attentive, going out of their way to ensure guests feel cared for. The location is convenient, with easy access to local attractions, shops, and eateries. Guests appreciate the quiet surroundings, ideal for restful nights. Additional touches like complimentary snacks or local tips make the stay even more enjoyable. Overall, Bess Homestay provides excellent value, making it a highly recommended choice for a cozy retreat.

This hotel is almost perfect! (Would be 10/10 if have washing machine & dryer). Bidet would be useful as not everyone will be comfortable to use the automatic toilet seat bidet. But other than that, room was very spacious! My husband and I love this hotel sooo much! It was very spacious, the king size bed was great, love it!

We stayed in Executive Three Bedroom Apartment with Private Pool A. Advantage, the apartment is very spacious. Suitable for a big family. Good location to KSL mall, but compared to hotel, there is a slight walking distance from the check-in counter. There are toilet daily amenities provided and bottle water are provided. Disadvantage, the cleanliness of the cabinets are not good, dusty. The private swimming pool is dirty. There are 3 bathrooms, 1 of them, the heater does not work well. There are no bedroom slippers provided and there are no safe provided. There are many dangerous fragile furniture around, with kids, is dangerous and if furniture happen to spoil, they will deduct the deposit (RM300) which initially required during check-in. I hope the management will look into upgrading the apartment, or even cleanliness of the apartment especially the pool and the pool surroundings. I still recommended to stay at KSL hotel compared to the apartment.

We headed to R&F link bridge from CIQ-City Square mall right after we were informed check-in is available around 2pm+.  We were quite disappointed with the long walk with breakage of the link bridge due to RTS construction works ongoing. The long climbs of stairs down then up to the continuation link bridge is rather a hassle especially for guest who carries luggage as we have seen along the way. Luckily we only carried light backpack as we only stay for one night. The procedure of checking in to R&F Princess Cove is rather simple by following a step-by-step instruction via WhatsApp. The unit assigned to us is at B1-1 Block on the 33rd floor. It was right after the rain stopped when we reached. There is a broken-handle window along the corridor hence not properly closed.  The heavy rain has actually poured onto the corridor flooring and we almost slipped as we didn’t see the patch of water. The unit assigned to us was according to our request (away from lift, non-smoking & high floor).  The unit we should say, is well maintained, clean and really nice!!! The only flaw is that the seaview is not as expected (only a slant opening seaview perhaps). The only bedroom ceiling light cum fan is great. However, the bedroom entrance downlight electrical point is tied to the ceiling light cum fan which the entrance downlight can’t be switched off when the fan is in operation during sleep….anyway, we turned on the aircon thereafter in order not to be affected by the glaring bedroom entrance downlight. Even there are 2 pillows each, they are rather too soft and we couldn’t sleep well.  Apart from the above, we enjoyed very much at the Living and Kitchen areas where we watched TV drama & having our meals. The next morning while heading out to walk around the premises, a pale stale stink smell from the rubbish chute on our level can be smelt while waiting for the lift to go down…… The exterior environment of R&F Princess Cove (phase 2) is comfortable especially on the 8th floor where gardens, swimming pool, gym, viewing deck, jogging track and link bridge to R&F mall are resided. One thing to praise is that R&F Princess Cove has friendly, nice security guards and staffs who have communicated via WhatsApp, thumbsup!  Overall we think it is good to stay provided the CIQ to R&F Princess Cove link bridge is complete.

Everything is good except cleanliness could be better improve. Reception were helpful,staff were friendly. I've been a frequent customer of this hotel. No doubt the facilities could be rundown visually.
