Clean, friendly staff, pleasant stay

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 30 Sept 2017via mobile
We moved to this hotel after staying one night at Legoland (which was disappointing) and we were all relieved to have a clean and comfortable room. The staff are genuinely friendly and nothing is too much for them to do. The breakfast buffet caters to every need. We have lounge access and the spread for their dinner was incredible. The chef would interact with you and explain all the dishes. The pool and gym were also well maintained and we had an excellent stay. We didn't venture outside the hotel. This was a stopover before moving on to Thailand.

Dear watsonc,

Thank you for your generous rating and most importantly, for choosing to stay with us. We are always delighted to make our guests feel satisfied and well taken care throughout their stay with us.

Our Café BLD serves breakfast, lunch and dinner throughout the days and on weekends, we have a monthly theme for the dinner buffet. It'd be great for you to try whenever you have the chance and we hope you will stay with us again should you travel to Johor Bahru.

Regards,
Gagan Singh

I reside in Singapore but it was my first visit to Renaissance Hotel in JB. I am really impressed with the standard of the hotel and the level of service it provides.

My husband and I were attended by a staff Cornelius at the check in. He was very polite and friendly. Our room on level 15 has a wonderful bay view and is spacious.

I truly appreciate the cleanliness and the quality of the bedding and towels. They were high quality and comfortable. I also appeciate every other little provision in the room, they are well thought of and practical!

In the evening , we were spoilt by the selection of canapes and drinks at the lounge on #16. The manager at the lounge, Guna, was very attentive and he attended to us and all those around personally. The team was kept busy and yet they were all smiley.

Also tried the Chinese restaurant in the hotel, is fantastic! The next mornong, we opted to have our breakfast at the lounge instead of the cafe on the ground floor as It is quieter and cosy, though I understand the selection is a little smaller compared to the main dining area but that suits us well.

We will definitely be back very soon. Thank you every one for making it an enjoyable stay.

I will definitely be back very soon, with more friends and family members.

The staffs had provided outstanding service during my stay in the hotel. Not only they had fulfilled my request for last minute changes but they have gone extra miles and effort.
Such a commitment to great customer service is to be commended. I would definitely recommend Renaissance JB to anyone who needs a stay in the future.

Impressive hospitality and service that renaissance provide. The whole stay experience was good and warm hearted. The food from Cafe BLD and Wan Li Chinese restaurant were extraordinary with their own concept and taste. Wanted to highlight Great reception service by staff name Snow. She is efficiency and I being serve with great hospitality experience. An unexpected hotel ballroom tour while I pass by an wedding event that held in the grand ball room by a staff name Zoey. She is passionate and friendly.
Thanks you Renaissance for the great and lovely hospitality experience. Looking forward my next stay with Renaissance.
