Pros. big and spacious room

Cons. old facilities, restaurant had poor quality food

8.8Very good
Malcolm, Nov 2016

Pros. Really nice luxury hotel. Staff went out of their way to help. Car and driver hire for trip to Singapore was hassle free (but not actually cheap!) and it was door to door to my hotel in downtown Singapore in under an hour - unlike public transport which was queued up on the bridge for hundreds of meters.

Cons. Too far from downtown JB and not easy to get transport if you dont know where you want to be. Shuttles only at weekends.
