Opero Hotel Southkey Johor Bahru recensioner

Very smooth check-in process. Initially, I expected a 200 MYR deposit as stated in the trip information, but it seems that policy is outdated — no deposit was required. We were also offered a welcome drink upon arrival, which was a nice touch. The room matched the description and overall cleanliness was satisfactory. There were minor issues like some hard water stains in the shower area, but nothing that affected the stay. I want to clarify a concern I saw in earlier reviews about low water pressure: I found the shower pressure perfectly normal and comparable to most hotels. The only minor inconvenience was that the hot water took a little while to come on, but it wasn’t a major issue. I did not opt for the breakfast as it was slightly pricey, and there are plenty of affordable food delivery options available. A highlight was the Samsung TV in the room, which made screen mirroring easy — though note that apps like YouTube and Netflix aren't pre-installed. Another great feature is the complimentary transport service to The Mall, Mid Valley Southkey — but note that it runs only until 9 PM. Otherwise, getting to the mall by ride-hailing services is affordable, and the location is very convenient, especially for travelers coming from CIQ. Overall, this hotel is an excellent alternative to St. Giles Southkey. Given the lower room rates, I see little reason to choose St. Giles unless you highly value being steps away from the mall and having a free breakfast (which I personally find subpar) at a higher price.
