Amerin Hotel Johor Bahru

Stayed in Amerin Hotel, Johor Bahru for one night. It is a relatively new hotel and is located opposite Perling Mall. If you are taking public transport from Singapore, take the CW3 bus from Jurong East Bus Interchange. It will bring you to Perling Mall and simply cross the busy main road – you will arrive at Amerin Hotel. The CW3 bus terminal is located just outside Perling Mall; this is where you take the same CW3 bus back to Singapore.

Amerin Hotel is a 17th storey hotel and is the newest and most impressive hotel in Taman Perling area. The check in was smooth and quick. There is a RM100 room deposit if you are not using your credit card. The lift was fast and spacious. There is a 7-11 shop and a cafe located within the hotel itself. That makes it easy for travelers to buy drinks or toiletries; as well as have a cup of brewed coffee.

Morning breakfast was served at a small restaurant. The breakfast spread was limited but sufficient enough for a hearty breakfast. The swimming pool was a compact size for a quick dip at the pool. There were plenty of tables and chairs to relax and get a tan.

Amerin Hotel is a good hotel to stay if you are visiting Taman Perling, Legoland or Bukit Indah. The hotel rate was inexpensive ( very economical ) and it is value for money.

Aeon Mall – Permas Jaya, Johor Bahru

The Aeon Mall at Permas Jaya is a single storey mall. It is an older mall as compared to Aeon Mall at Bukit Indah.  There are limited variety of shops, a food court, some F&B outlets and the Aeon Supermarket.

The mall is accessible by an overhead pedestrian bridge. I walked from Renaissance Hotel to the mall; and took less than 15 minutes with a easy stroll. However do watch out for vehicles on the road and uneven paths when walking.

The mall is spacious and there are lots of bench to sit and rest if you tired. It seems that there are more food outlets around Permas Jaya. So if you are looking for fashion items, clothes, electronic accessories, etc – this is not the place.
