Review of Tune Hotel Danga Bay - Johor Bahru

We have stayed in several Tune Hotels before: Tune Hotel Legian, Tune Hotel Downtown Kuala Lumpur and Tune Hotel LCCT. When we knew that Tune Hotel Danga Bay provide a shuttle service to Legoland, we decided to book a one night stay there. 

The hotel is huge compared to other Tune hotels that I have visited before. If you are looking for a budget hotel for your family holiday to Legoland, I hope this post could give you some idea about Tune Hotel Danga Bay.


We took this picture from our taxi 
We made our reservation through their website, we were fortunate that the quadruple room was still available. We booked one quadruple room for MYR 140 (tax and aircon included: the quadruple room price include aircon). We thought that it will be one room for the four of us. But we were wrong, I will share about the room later on.


Lobby of Tune Hotel Danga Bay

We arrived around 8.30 am, and took a blue taxi from Thistle Hotel Johor Bahru to Tune Danga Bay which cost around MYR 22. Blue taxi fare is expensive, but we couldn't find any red taxi at Thistle.

A cute lego dragon welcome us at the lobby, actually we saw the same lego dragon at Thistle as well. It was too early and we couldn't do an early check-in. The hotel staff gave us 4 Legoland theme park tickets which we have been purchased at the time of room reservation.

Hi there Lego Dragon:)

We intended to leave our luggage at the lobby, but they asked me to pay MYR 2 for each backpack. So I went to my friend @dini_ros' room instead, and left our backpacks there.

There are computers at the lobby, a lego corner for kids without the lego bricks (too bad!), and two massage chair. The lobby area is spacious, and our kiddos met their new friends already at the lobby.

We exchanged the shuttle ticket at Oddysey, a travel agent located few steps away from Tune Hotel's lobby.

Where to Eat Around Tune Hotel Danga Bay

Then we waited for our shuttle schedule to Legoland at an Indian restaurant called Saffron Cuisine and bought sets of Nasi Lemak with Teh Tarik cost MYR 8 (for each set). If you purchase breakfast when you reserve room at Tune Hotel's website, you will get the breakfast from this restaurant.

Family Room (Quadruple Room) at Tune Hotel Danga Bay

Ok, now comes the strange part of our room. When we checked-in, we were informed that the quadruple room is basically consist of two rooms with a connecting door. We were given two room keys, and when we entered the room, we just knew that we were given one double room and one twin room. Oh, so this is the quadruple room?

The plus point was, we had two bathrooms for each room, so it was the luxury of booking the quadruple room.


A very well maintained bathroom

Shuttle from Tune Hotel Danga Bay to Legoland

The shuttle cost MYR 15 per person for a round trip. It was really handy so we could get to Legoland and go back to the hotel in a breeze. Within 20 minutes, we arrived at Legoland. The shuttle stopped at the Mall of Madini, the pick-up area is also at the same place.


Yeay, let's go to Legoland :)


Overall, Tune Hotel Danga Bay is a recommended family budget hotel in Johor Bahru. Especially if you intended to go to Johor Bahru for a Legoland trip, this is the hotel for you.

  3. Cucok nich tune yg ini, beda banget ama yg legian + kuta. Kmrn nginep disana ternyata ngak ada TV, meskipun gw ngak demen nonton TV tapi TV itu perlu sebacau cahaya hehehe. Trus lobby nya sempit dan terkesan sumpek, petugas nya asyik nongkrong di depan :-(

    1. Hahaha...tapi aku suka Kak Cum, Tune Legian sih. Tune Kuta belum pernah.
      Nah tadi pagi aku booking Tune KLIA 2, mahal aje gitu. Mudah2an lebih bagus lagi dari Tune Danga Bay.

  4. Hi mba Teysa, mau nanya dong. Klo dr JB Sentral ke tune hotel ini ada bus ga ya? Atau hrs naek taksi secara kami rencananya 7 org mau ke legoland dr jkt via singapore trus nginep di tune hotel johor.
    Trus klo dr tune hotel mau ke JPO naek apa? Brp tarifnya?

    ReplyDelete

    1. Hallo Mas, enggak ada bus kesini, jadi dari JB Sentral naik taksi warna merah ya.
      Tune Hotel ke JPO juga harus pake taksi, kecuali Mas mau naik taksi ke JB Sentral, terus naik bus JPO1 dari JB Sentral ke JPO PP. Kayanya cara kedua akan lebih murah.

      Delete
  5. Taksi merah ada yg bisa utk 7 org? Klo ada yg mobilnya minibus kayak innova kira2 brp tarifnya?
    Trus klo pulangnya dr legoland sblm blk ke hotel mau ke danga beach dulu gmn? Shuttlenya lewat situ gak? atau klo jalan kaki dr hotel jauh ga?

    Maaf ya mba banyak nnanya hehehe

    1. Kalau taksi biru ada yang innova deh kayanya.
      Nah kalau mau sewa mobil harian gitu aku ga tau Mas, karena belum pernah.
      Wooh mau ke Danga Beach dulu ya? Jauh Mas, enggak bisa jalan kaki. Mendingan Mas sih sewa van sendiri aja untuk ber 7. Jadi enak juga bisa kemana mana dulu gitu.

  11. Salam kenal mba tesya.
    Mbak mau nanya, sy udah book tune hotel via bookimg.com tapi kelewat add on shuttle bus dan tiket legoland nya. Apa masih bs ditambah ya? Nyari email tune hotel di web nya ga nemu.

    Yg kedua, bs ga ya kira2 kamar yg sdh sy book (2kmr double) minta tuker sama quadruple room? Baca review nya mba tesya, kyk nya lbh cocok quad room utk saya dan suami dgn 3 org anak.

    Yg ketiga, ada shuttle bus jg ga dari tune hotel ke sentosa island singapore? Blog nya oddyssey travel yg mba sebut di blog mba udah ga bs dibuka.

    Satu lagi mbak, kami di johor dr hari jumat -minggu (23-25 des). Bagusnya ke legoland dulu apa ke sentosa dulu ya? Weekend macet ga kalo ke singapore?

    Mohon info mba. Makasii :)

    1. Hai Mba, salam kenal ya..

      Kalau pesan lewat booking dot com kayanya memang enggak bisa add on deh Mbak. Waktu itu saya pesan via tune hotel website langsung.

      Untuk merubah kamar, tergantung apakah jenis kamar yang Mba pesan "Free Cancelation"? Kalau iya, coba aja dirubah di "My bookings" nya di booking.com. Sebelumnya Mba login dulu akun mba di booking.com. Tapi kalau jenis kamarnya non refundable, tidak bisa diganti.

      Iya ada dari Oddysey itu atau naik bus Transtar (TS8) => http://www.regentstar.travel/crossborder/

      Weekend macet ke Singapura, sebaiknya jangan weekend.

      Have fun :)

  12. Hi mbak Tesya,

    Mau nanya purchase tiket legilandnya gimana ya mbak? Saya cek di web tune tidak ada keterangan. Lalu bisa dihitung poin Big air asia tidak?

    1. Hai Mba Alla, kayanya enggak bisa dihitung dengan point air asia, karena kan additional items ya. Tapi boleh dicoba sih..

      Belinya add ons saat Mba memesan kamar. Jadi masuk dulu milih kamar, baru ada pilihan add ons nya Mba.

  15. Halo Mbak Tesya. Saya Felicia. Salam kenal ya.
    Mau tanya beberapa hal dong :
    1. Transport dari Senai Intl Airport ke Tune ini gimana ya mbak?
    2. Mereka punya fasilitas penitipan bagasi ngga ya? Kami ada rencana mau nginap di Singapore satu hari baru balik lagi.
    3. Shuttle ke Legoland dari Tune ini harus dibook di awal atau bisa langsung on the spot mba? Masalahnya lewat booking.com gada fasilitasnya.
    4. Selain ke Legoland ada shuttle ke JPO ngga ya mbak?
    Makasih banyak Mbak Tesya

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Hai Felicia, coba aku jawab ya:
      1. Better pakai taksi aja dari Senai Airport.
      2. Iya ada penitipan barang dengan biaya yang harus dibayar, tapi aku lupa berapa.
      3. Bisa nanti on the spot. Kalau penuh, paling Mba naik uber aja ke Legoland nya. Coba tanya saat Mba check in ya.
      4. Enggak seingat saya..waktu itu sih hanya tersedia ke Legoland.

      Semoga lancer liburannya ya..

  16. Thanks infonya Mbak Tesya.
    BTW, menurut mbak Tesya better nginep di Tune Hotel atau hotel di daerah JB Sentral aja ya? Kami berempat dengan anak2 yang sudah masuk kategori dewasa.Kalau di daerah JB Sentral selain Citrus Hotel, hotel apalagi yang recommended ya mbak.

    Salam,
    Felicia

    1. Hai Mba Felicia, selain Citrus ada Double Tree By Hilton, tapi pastinya lebih mahal karena beda kelas ya hehe.. Selain itu maafkan saya enggak tau lagi yang dekat Citrus.
