I stayed a night at 8 Days Boutique Hotel in Taman Impian Emas during one of my 2 days 1 night food trails in Johor.

This is the facade of the 2 storey, 30+ rooms boutique hotel. Free parking is available at the front and the hotel security guard at the front entrance keep an eye on the guests' cars round the clock.

The hotel reception, right at the entrance. The reception is manned 24/7.

The hotel lobby is clean, bright and spacious with comfortable plush seats. A public access computer with internet connection is available at the lobby.

The hotel has two levels. Access to the second floor rooms is via lift and security key card. This is the only 2 storey hotel in Johor Bahru equipped with lift and key card access for better security.

The corridor at the second level. Brightly lit and with over head security CCTV cameras. The floor is carpeted to keep footstep noise down.

I stayed a night at a Platinum Jacuzzi with King Size Jacuzzi room (RM188 nett per room night promo rate).

The room is spacious with ample room to move about. It had none of the claustrophobic feel of many boutique hotels.

If I were brought into the room blindfolded, I wouldn't have guessed that this was a shop lot, boutique hotel.

This is the view of the bed from the room entrance.

The King size King Koil brand mattress was firm and comfortable. The pillows and linen were clean and free of smells. I slept well on it. I also like that cushioned head board.

All the essential amenities like LCD television, electric kettle, mini fridge and basic furniture are provided.

Free wifi is provided. I wrote and published a blog post from this room without a hitch during my stay.

Basic complimentary mineral water, instant coffee and tea bags. The room is equipped with universal power sockets, which are very convenient.

The mini fridge is empty, so we can stock it up with our own drinks and food.

There is a wardrobe and a safe box with digital lock.

There is a King size jacuzzi bathtub in the bath room.

I love the rain shower head - it's so refreshing to wash under a cascade of water.

Clean bath towels.

The wash basin and mirror. Basic toiletries like toothbrush, toothpaste, etc are provided.

I am glad 8 Days Boutique Hotel provided two pairs of rubber slippers for guests, as I dislike walking barefoot in hotel rooms.

I am happy with my comfortable stay at 8 Days Boutique Hotel and would recommend it to my friends.

RENAISSANCE HOTEL, JOHOR BAHRU ~ KISAH TATIE

Hi semua. Hari ni saya nak story pasal hotel yang kami menginap sewaktu Festival Layang-Layang Sedunia Pasir Gudang tempoh hari. Tak lain, tak bukan Renaissance Hotel Johor Bahru.

Menginap di sini selama 4 hari 3 malam sedikit sebanyak membantu saya menyelami keistimewaan yang terdapat di sebalik nama 'Renaissance Permas' ini. Hotel Renaissance ini terletak di Permas Jaya yang tidak jauh dari Bandaraya Johor Bahru.

Renaissance Johor Bahru

Untuk pengetahuan kalian, bangunan ini telah lama dibina, tetapi terbengkalai sekejap sehinggalah Hotel Renaissance mengambil alih dan kemudiannya siap pada tahun lepas. Masih baru dan fresh. Hotel yang mempunyai 345 bilik ini terletak berdekatan dengan Jusco Permas Jaya.

Setiap bilik mempunyai kemudahan seperti high speed internet, TV Flat Screen 42 inci, mini bar, one push button DTS(Delighted to Serve) dan lain-lain lagi. Menyentuh pasal dining pula, saya tahuuuu.. Bagi penggemar makanan, biasanya tertanya-tanya 'Apa yang special kat sesebuah hotel itu'.

Kat sini terdapat beberapa pilihan seperti Cafe BLD yang menyajikan international buffet, Restoran Wan Li yang menyajikan makanan Kantonis dan Dim Sum, R-Bar,The Chocolate Cake Company dan The Poolside Bar.
