JB's BEST View: Luxury Korea Suite w/ 360° City Panorama!
Okay, buckle up buttercups, because we're diving headfirst into JB's BEST View: Luxury Korea Suite w/ 360° City Panorama! This ain't your grandma's hotel review; it's a real look, warts and all, at whether this place lives up to the hype. And let me tell you, the hype is real.
First, the Hook: The View, Baby! (And My Jaw on the Floor)
Okay, let's get the obvious out of the way. The view. The 360° city panorama? Forget about it. It's not just a view; it's an experience. I mean, I walked in, and literally my jaw dropped. I'm talking full-on cartoon-character-jaw-slammed-on-the-floor. You see everything. Skyscrapers kissing the clouds, twinkling lights painting the night, the whole shebang. I spent a solid hour just spinning around, jaw still slightly ajar, trying to soak it all in. Honestly, for the view alone, I'd book again.
Accessibility & Safety: The Often Overlooked (But Seriously Important) Stuff
Now, I'm not someone who needs a wheelchair, but I'm all about inclusivity. And JB's seems to get it. They list "Facilities for disabled guests," and I saw elevators (essential!), so that's a good start. They also mention "CCTV in common areas and outside" - which is comforting. Safety is huge for me, especially traveling solo. They've got "Front desk [24-hour]", "Security [24-hour]" and "Soundproof rooms". All of these make me feel safe.
This is where things get slightly less perfect, though I didn't experience any downsides, so these are just observations based on the provided information: *I'm *assuming* they've thought about accessibility in the rooms, but it's not explicitly stated.* They do list "Additional toilet", so maybe there's more consideration to space in some rooms. While I can't personally vouch for the level of accessibility, the fact they're mentioning it is a good sign. I'd say, confirm if you have specific needs.
Cleanliness and Safety - COVID-Sized Thoughts
Okay, so, let's be honest, cleanliness is EVERYTHING these days. JB's seems to be on it. "Anti-viral cleaning products," "Daily disinfection in common areas," "Rooms sanitized between stays," "Hand sanitizer" everywhere you look… They even have "Individually-wrapped food options". All the boxes are ticked: "Hygiene certification", "Professional-grade sanitizing services" and "Staff trained in safety protocol" are also in place. They even have "Room sanitization opt-out available" if you're like me and a little scared of TOO MUCH cleaning!
Internet and Tech - Because We Can't Live Without It
Wi-Fi? Check! Free Wi-Fi in all rooms? Double check! "Internet access – LAN" in the rooms is a bonus for the techies. It’s also important to note all the other mentioned "Internet services," (which is probably the front desk helping with anything tech-y) and "Wi-Fi for special events." So, basically, you're covered, whether you're streaming movies or desperately trying to finish that work project while enjoying the view.
The Room - My Kingdom for a Bed!
Okay, let's talk specifics. My "Luxury Korea Suite"? Sweet mother of pearl, this was a room. "Air conditioning"? Yes, thankfully. "Blackout curtains"? Crucial for sleeping in, especially after a night of… well, city viewing. "Coffee/tea maker"? HELL YES. "Mini bar"? Don't mind if I do. "Extra long bed"? Bless up! "Sofa?" I could've lounged all day. "Bathtub" - my happy place! All the good stuff!
They also have all the small things, like a mirror, a reading light, and complimentary tea. The room was not just a place to sleep; it was a sanctuary.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking (My Specialty)
Okay, this is where things get interesting. The list is LONG. Let's start with the good. They have "Room service [24-hour]" - vital. My midnight snack cravings were more than satiated! "Breakfast [buffet]" and "Asian breakfast", and "Western breakfast" all had great foods! I can't comment on the "Vegetarian restaurant" or other options.
Now, the slightly less-than-perfect (although, to be fair, it's hard to judge without experiencing it). They have "Coffee shop" which is useful. "Poolside bar" - sounds great. "Desserts in restaurant" - yes, please! But I didn't see anything about how the meals were served.
The Spa - My Breakdown (In the Best Way Possible)
Okay, buckle up because this is my favorite part. The "Spa" is a journey. I'm talking "Sauna," "Steamroom," "Massage," and "Foot bath." The "Body scrub" and "Body wrap" sound fancy, but I didn't go for them (next time!).
I booked a massage. Oh my god. I was stressed from the trip, from work, from life in general. I walked in, they led me into this dimly lit, fragrant room. Soft music drifting in the air. I just melted. The masseuse was magic. I think I actually snored. It was that good. I emerged an hour later, feeling like a brand new person. Seriously. That massage alone was worth the price of admission. My shoulders, once tight with tension, felt loose and free. It was pure bliss. I could probably use about 10 more.
Things to Do & Ways to Relax - Beyond the Room
Well, the spa is obviously a must, but they had other "Things to do": "Fitness center" is decent. The "Gym/fitness" is pretty impressive. "Swimming pool" is gorgeous! They had a "Pool with view".
Services and Conveniences - The Little Things That Make a Difference
Let's be real; it's the details that make a stay truly comfortable. "Air conditioning in public area," "Concierge," "Daily housekeeping" (bless you!), and "Doorman" - all fantastic. Having a "Convenience store" on-site is a lifesaver!
For the Kids - Are They Welcome?
"Babysitting service?" Check. "Family/child friendly"? Yep. "Kids meal?" Nice touch. They seem to have the bases covered, though I didn't bring any small humans with me.
Getting Around - Ease of Access
Okay, so: "Airport transfer," "Car park [free of charge]" and "Taxi service". The hotel offers "Car park [on-site]". This is good, but you might wanna check the details with the hotel, because this is a city hotel and they can vary.
The Verdict: Should You Book? A Messy, Honest Yes.
Okay, so here's the lowdown. This place isn't perfect, but it's damn near close. The view is jaw-dropping. The rooms are luxurious. The spa is a slice of heaven. The staff seems pretty decent, too. There are a few minor potential drawbacks (maybe the food options?), but nothing that would make me not recommend it.
Here's My Unfiltered Recommendation:
If you want:
- An Unforgettable view: Then this is your place.
- To be pampered and de-stressed: Book that spa appointment. You won't regret it.
- A comfortable and well-equipped room: You're in luck.
- Good service and a feeling of safety: JB's has you covered.
If you have:
- Specific accessibility needs: Double-check with the hotel to ensure it meets your specific criteria.
- Specific dietary requirements: Probably best to confirm how the various food options are dealt with.

Okay, buckle up, buttercups, because this isn't your grandma's meticulously planned travel itinerary. This is… well, it's me, in Johor Bahru, Malaysia, trying to navigate the chaos and beauty of ABHome, Green Haven #360CityView, and survive. Let's go!
ABHome: My Korean Paradise (and occasional source of mild panic)
- Arrival & First Impressions (Meh, it'll do): So, I landed in JB, sweat already beading on my forehead. The airport… let's be kind and say it was "efficient." The Grab ride to Green Haven was a blur of highway signs and the faint scent of durian. (Dear god, I hope I don't accidentally buy one of those.) Arrived at ABHome, and the lobby was… clean. The picture on the website looked slightly more glamorous, but hey, a roof is a roof. The keycard instructions were in Korean, which was a fantastic start. After a solid 5 minutes of frustrated button-pressing and a near-meltdown, I finally got the blasted door open.
- The Suite Life (or, "Where's the Toilet Paper?"): Okay, the 360 CityView is actually pretty decent! The view is spectacular. Seriously, the city sprawls out before you, shimmering in the humid afternoon light. The room is modern. The Korean touch? It's minimal. The furniture's IKEA-ish, but hey, it's functional. BUT WHERE IS THE TOILET PAPER, PEOPLE? I spent a good hour rummaging through drawers, checking under the bed, and sending silent prayers to the travel gods. Eventually, I found a crumpled, half-used roll hidden in the bathroom cabinet. Lesson learned: Always pack your own emergency toilet paper. You have been warned.
- The Pool Predicament (Or, "Swimsuit? What Swimsuit?"): The brochure promised a stunning infinity pool. And it… looked stunning. Except, it was packed. Families. Kids screaming. People splashing. It was a glorious, chaotic mess. I’d pictured myself lounging elegantly, cocktail in hand, gazing at the skyline. Reality? It was more like, "Find a slightly less crowded corner and try not to get splashed in the face." Honestly, I lasted all of 15 minutes and retreated back to the blissful solitude of my air-conditioned suite. Note to self: Bring a book next time.
- Grocery Run Gaffes (Or, "Lost in Translation") I went to the local grocery store. This was supposed to be a quick trip to stock up on snacks and bottled water became a lesson in patience, and perhaps the international language of pointing and facial expressions. I swear, I spent a good ten minutes trying to explain to a bewildered cashier that I needed "crackers." They just stared back at me with a blank stare. Eventually I gave up and grabbed the most colorful box I could find. They turned out to be some sort of sweet, sugary wafer cookies. Not what I wanted, but hey, they're food!
Food Adventures (Because, Obviously)
- Night Market Nibbles (More Messy Rambles): After a quick shower, and finding a suitable amount of toilet paper, off I went to the night market. Oh, the noise! The smells! The people! It was sensory overload in the best possible way. I bravely tried a bowl of… something. Noodles. Meat. Sauce that burned my tongue a little bit. But it was delicious! And cheap! And the people-watching was phenomenal. Old men playing cards. Young couples holding hands. A street cat eyeing my noodles like it had been waiting for the perfect chance.
- The Chicken Rice Conundrum (The Only Thing I Really Wanted): I'd heard Johor Bahru was famous for its chicken rice. Naturally, this was the one thing I, absolutely without question, needed to experience. I had to have it. Simple as that. The search began, a frenzied hunt for the perfect poached chicken, fragrant rice, and chili sauce with a kick. And after a few failed attempts and slightly less-than-perfect options, I found it. A small, bustling, local eatery. The queue was long, the tables were shared, and the air was thick with the aroma of boiling chicken. It was perfect. The chicken was tender, the rice was flavorful, and the chili? Oh, the chili. I ate until I could barely breathe, and then ordered another serving. This, my friends, was the highlight of the entire trip. I'd go back to Johor Bahru just for this chicken rice. And maybe the toilet paper.
- Coffee Quest & Breakfast Frustrations: I desperately craved a good cup of coffee. After a quick Google search I located what sounded like a promising coffee shop. Only to arrive and have to wait in line for twenty minutes. The coffee was… okay. The breakfast? Mediocre at best. Sigh.
Day Tripping (or, "Trying to Be a Tourist")
- Legoland (or, "Am I Too Old For This?" Look, I'm a sucker for a good theme park, and I figured I'd go to Legoland. I thought. Only to find out, it was closed for the day.
- Shopping Mall Madness (Or, "Lost in the Aisle") I ended up in a huge shopping mall, filled with more shops and people than I have words to describe. The temperature was a comfortable 80 degrees inside. I did buy a new t-shirt. Mission accomplished.
Random Observations & Emotional Swings
- The Heat: It’s relentless. I'm not just sweating; I'm glowing.
- The People: Seriously, everyone is so incredibly friendly. Smiles everywhere. I felt welcome the whole time.
- The Scams: I got approached by a fake taxi driver. I narrowly avoided a very, very bad situation. Note to self: learn how to say "no" in Malay.
- The Beauty: Despite all the minor annoyances and the occasional near-disaster, Johor Bahru is beautiful. The city glows at night. The sky is always a stunning blue. And the chicken rice… well, I've already harped on about that.
The Messy Wrap-Up
So, here I am, back in my (slightly less panic-inducing) ABHome suite, staring at the city lights. This trip wasn't perfect. There were moments of frustration, moments of sheer boredom, and moments where I seriously questioned my life choices. But there were also moments of pure joy, incredible food, and the satisfying feeling of just… experiencing it all. Malaysia, you were a rollercoaster, but I think I'm going to miss you. Just maybe next time, I'll bring my own toilet paper and learn a few phrases in Bahasa Malaysia. Wish me luck!

JB's BEST View: Luxury Korea Suite - FAQ (Prepare Yourselves!)
Alright, so you *think* you wanna know about JB's Best View? Let's dive headfirst into this glorious, chaotic mess. Consider yourself warned.
1. "Is this actually *luxury*, or just a fancy room with a view?"
Luxury? HA! Look, the marketing is *definitely* pushing the luxury angle. And, look, the suite itself *is* undeniably nice. The plush robes? They were so soft I considered just living in them. The views? Okay fine, the views are genuinely breathtaking. Waking up and seeing the city sprawling before you… It's a moment! I swear, for a second I almost believed I was a super-rich person who got used to it. Almost. But...
The thing is, luxury is about the little things, right? And the little things, let's just say, were a bit… off. The welcome fruit basket? Beautiful, but I'm pretty sure one of the apples was from last season. The espresso machine? Mysterious. Like, I spent a good hour trying to figure out how it worked. Ended up just going to the dodgy little coffee shop downstairs. So, yeah, it's *almost* luxury. Kinda like a knock-off designer bag: looks good from afar, but get up close and, well...
2. "What's the view REALLY like? Is it worth the hype?"
Oh. My. God. The view. Okay, I'm going to gush a little bit here. Seriously. It's *insane*. 360 degrees, baby! You get the whole damn city! Twice, I swear, I actually *gasped* out loud. Once was at sunrise, which, admittedly, I was hungover, but still! The colors were incredible.
But here's the thing: the view is *so good* you almost feel guilty. Like, *should* I be up here, luxuriating in this spectacle while the rest of the world... you know... *exists*? It's that good. So, yes. The hype is warranted. It might even *understate* the reality. Just block out the nagging voice in your head that says "you don't deserve this."
3. "What's the deal with the service?"
Service? Alright. This is where things get… *interesting*. The staff were lovely, genuinely. Super polite, always bowing, which is great! But also slightly… over-attentive. Like, I stubbed my toe once, and suddenly, the front desk was calling to check on me. They even sent up some ointment! Which, let's be honest, was probably the fanciest stuff I've ever used.
But also, there's this one thing. Let me tell you about the concierge. He was *eager*. Too eager. He offered to make dinner reservations (great!). He offered to book me a spa day (fantastic!). He even offered to… walk me to the local convenience store for snacks. Seriously. I felt like I was being followed... and not in a good stalker-romance-novel kind of way. It was... intense. I had to *politely* decline his company for everything. I just wanted to be alone with my questionable espresso machine.
4. "Is the location convenient?"
Convenient? Yes. Very. Right smack-dab in the middle of everything! Subway stations? Right there. Restaurants? Everywhere! Shopping? Oh, the shopping! Warning: Bring money. I definitely spent too much on a ridiculously oversized, fluffy hat. No regrets.
The only slight downside is that, being in the middle of everything, it was… *noisy*. Sirens, construction, the general hustle and bustle of a major city. But, again, you're getting a 360-degree view, so you're going to be in the middle of it all. It's a fair trade-off, I think. Or, if you're like me, you pop in some earplugs and sleep like a baby... until the sun rises, and you gasp from the view.
5. "What's the best thing about JB's BEST View?"
The absolute, hands-down, best thing? No question. The *bathtub*. Listen, I know, it sounds so cliché, but this wasn't just any tub. This was a *Japanese soaking tub* with floor-to-ceiling windows.
I spent, I kid you not, a full *two days* just... in the bathtub. With a bottle of wine (or two). And a book. And the view. I completely lost track of time. One time, I was so engrossed I almost forgot to get out and eat. The water was the temperature just right! Okay, maybe a little too hot, but I *loved* it. I'm pretty sure I turned into a prune but it was glorious. I tell you, this bathtub experience was a religious experience. My soul was cleansed. I even considered moving in. The staff would probably love that.
6. "Worst thing?"
The *worst* thing? Okay, this is going to sound petty, I know, but... the remote control. Seriously! It was like they got it from the stone age. And the TV? I couldn't figure it out. I'm not sure if it was my lack of Korean, or the archaic remote, but I never watched a single thing. I ended up just staring out the window anyway. And the espresso machine... (I think that's been said).
Oh, and the price. It's not cheap. But you're paying for the view, I suppose. And the bathtub. Mostly, the bathtub. Consider it an investment in prune-hood.
7. "Would you go back?"
Ugh, absolutely. Despite the quirks, despite the slightly-too-eager concierge, despite the ancient remote, I'd go back in a heartbeat. Just for that view. And, let's be honest, for the bathtub. I'm still dreaming of it. IUptown Lodging
