Excellent choice to stay if you are going Legoland”

We booked the 3-bedroom apartment, and it was almost everything like its pictures, with the only exception to some minor details of flaw to the bathrooms. My review, hopefully, will help the management review some areas that should be looked at. The Pros Beautiful, comfortable, elegant, fully equipped. Perfect beds, perfect sets of furniture, everything from the washer dryer to the light fixtures. Centrally located. It is essentially 5 minutes from Legoland and the Medini Mall. Pool is simple and nice, nothing fancy but does the work. A mini pool for the children to wade and splash in. The Cons Having said all the pros, I am generally very happy, satisfied and pleased with Somerset Medini Iskandar Puteri. But it happens that I am aficionado of toilets - it has to be the first perfect thing for me when I travel. Firstly, there are 2 toilets for 3 bedrooms, which equates to approximately 6-8 people sharing 1 common toilet and 1 master bathroom toilet. The common toilet is relatively small to hold toiletries of 2 pax, what more if 4 or 5 are sharing the space. The main bathroom is HUGE. It was an excessive waste of square space, since the bathtub, toilet and sink itself are set on the corners of the room. The bathroom was not cleaned thoroughly and I was disappointed to see it looked quite old with molds growing on the grouts of the tiles. After a day with the kids at Legoland, I would have liked to luxuriate myself in the tub for the better half of the night, but although I am being a bit nit-picking, I did get to spend time in the bathtub. Having said all these, I am all for Somerset and I highly recommend anyone to stay here for a wonderful, luxurious, 5-star apartment experience.

Great Experience With SOMERSET MEDINI ISKANDAR PUTRI”

I was going to Legoland Malaysia with my wife and my son and we stayed at Somerset Medini for 3D2N. The hotel was really excellent and all the staff very helpful. 1. The location is just 5 mins walking distance to Legoland ( Theme Park and Water Park ) and Medini Mall 2. Somerset Medini provides shuttle car from hotel to Hello Kitty Town & Thomas & Friend location. 3. From City Square Mall / Johor Bahru Customs is just about 20 mins to reach the hotel ( SOMERSET ). 4. All the staff ( Receptionist, Security, etc ) are very helpful indeed. 5. The room is big ( because I stay with my family ) and very clean. I would like to suggest my friends too

Great View!”

Actually I booked the wrong hotel. Staff was kind to allow cancellation for last day. Checkin definitely slow as everyone has to pay and ask questions even though there are 5 staff. However staff always smiling, service is good. The room looks abit older/worn than Somerset Puteri Habour, the floor also not as clean. The cups were so stained and looks unusable. I have OCD hence my expectations are higher. Rest of the amenities are standard. Overall 7.5/10 The view was awesome if u like Legoland. Its nearby They also have shuttle service to Puteri harbour. I have been to this area for past 3 yrs. Used to have Legoland membership, hence I am familiar. Would still prefer to stay puteri harbour area as there are more activities. Many buses ply within these two locations or grab for only 7rm. Super safe area as Iskandar falls under Sultan of Johor. Service is also top notch in this area. Main grouse -Pool was small and dirty, there were at least 20 people and wearing clothes in the pool.

Legoland Trip”

Don't need to spend so much money to stay in Legoland Hotel. That's way too expensive for us. Somerset Medini Iskandar Puteri is a real nice and affordable place to stay. Legoland is just 5mins walking distance away. I have stayed there during last year Legoland trip. If I were to come back Legoland next year I will book again.

Stay here if you want to go Legoland Malaysia Resort.”

this visit was our ad hoc plan, since not able to grab Legoland hotel promo during the date of visit. not to worry, sommerset medini iskandar puteri always be our favorite upon legoland visit. just a mall away to the themepark entrance via sea life. 1.5-2km drive from sommerset to annual pass holder zone 1 and 2 parking bay area. walking from here faster than to drive and park at the zone 1 and 2 area. except they close middle entrance opposite with sommerset shortcut via cafe to the entrance next to BIG supermarket. all access to medini mall must thru starbucks entrance.

A perfect place to stay for legoland ”

Becos we have 3 adults and 2 kids so I book a 2 bedrooms apartments with Somerset medini cos it's just opp LEGOLAND.. Jus cross the road and u will rch medini mall and walk till the end of the mall is LEGOLAND..very easy.. This apartments got swimming pool and carpark got security too so it's very safe...thou the carpark rate is at RM10 for 3 days but at least there is security and your car dont have to park under sun and rain... The 2 beds are big and everything are clean..As for food got not much choices,I drive to Restoran Chua Kee for the 2nd night dinner(meals are sumptuous and cheap)I spend RM228 for the dinner, can see pix...u just need a good GPS and u can drive to the nearest bukit indah for the restaurant or movie(I watched ah boys to men's and ticket just cost me RM87 for 3 adults 2 kids) There is 2 toilet and the 1 inside Masteroom got bath tub, u can have a some nice view while soaking in the bath tub,even if u open the window still no1 can peep at u cos no other building is near and window can't be open full too, the most is just 25% open so to prevent someone trying to be superman but for small kids might not be so safe(but of cos we parents have to keep a close look) There is abt 20 channels in TV, got ch 5/8 singapore show and 3 channels of movie and sport channels too.. Living room got blue-ray player too, whole places is comfortable.. Ok now the bad part--- I book through Agoda and I remember I got daily breakfast that is included but reception staff told me i didn't have and I will need to pay RM21 adults RM17.50 Kids so total will be abt RM100 for a day of breakfast but I didn't take this offer as I remember seeing alots of bad review for their breakfast and I didn't fight with them for the free breakfast so my 2 days breakfast was settle at the old town white coffee @ medini mall... The living room balcony door is open at your own risk and didn't lock up, I make a call and the security bring a key up for me to lock it as I got small k

Value for money, strategic location”

Convenience apt, the washing plus dryer machine is very useful for guest like me who stay more than 1 night. The staff also friendly, check in time flexible, the staff help us to check whether the room is ready or not, and least but not last the location just 5minute walk, i am really sure will come back again to this hotel! Thanks somerset medini iskandar puteri and Agoda

Exceptional”

Good alternative to Legoland Hotel. Somerset Medini is right opposite Legoland. Good value for money, one-bedroom apartment is big for family of 3 (2 teenagers). Nusajaya is not fully developed, nothing much around the area, Gleneagles hospital is next to Hotel. However, there are dining outlets at Legoland and a 7-eleven right at Afiniti residences which is connected to Somerset. Aeon sutera mall is around 10 mins drive away, Somerset Medini provides scheduled complimentary shuttle service to Aeon Sutera mall and puttering Harbour, need to book in advance as they are using a 8 seater van. Otherwise, you can easily call for Uber or grab which is much cheaper than metered taxi. (Around RM 7- RM10 each way). Hotel staff are excellent, knowledgeable and provide good service with a smile. Thumbs up for them!

Our Staycation in Somerset Medini + Legoland Malaysia ♥️”

Our staycation in Johor Bahru, particularly in Somerset Medini Iskandar Puteri was great. 👍🏼 It’s great that they accomodate us as early as 5am, because the place where we suppose to stay didn’t manage to help us or at least consider that we have a baby to look after to at that early morning where we don’t have a palce to stay in. Moving on to Somerset Medini.. The moment you enter to the lobby, a fresh smell will welcomes you. And it’s really nice & relaxing. Also a +point because from the lobby & outside our room you can see the view of the Legoland Hotel. A great place for a family with children, because they have a kid’s pool area & kid’s playroom. 👍🏼 The room where we stay in is clean & is overlooking the greeneries with the Gleneagles Hospital on the right. Quite spacious for a family of 3-4. Thanks for the accomodation. And hopefully we’ll be back for more staycation. 👍🏼😉

a mall of medini away from legoland entrance... walking distance”

love the ambiance and love the location. fyi, one of the closest hotel and residence nearby legoland other than legoland hotel itself. just across the road, enter the mall of medini, you are connecting with legoland main entrance. thanks the staff for upgrading our room from studio suite to one bedroom premier suite. looking forward to stay there again for our next visit to legoland. near with the mall is big advantage to this somerset. i think the surroundings of medini and legoland are very quite when it comes to the night. no eateries place nearby except 7-11 convenience shop downstairs..

Great location for Legoland visit”

This place is a great alternative to expensive (um, overpriced) Legoland hotel. Less than $140/night for a 2 bedroom apt with 2 bathrooms, generous for my family of 4. And it's just across the road from the Mall of Medini, which is the strip of stores leading to Legoland entrance. It is managed under the Somerset group of properties. Front desk staff are extremely polite and professional, fast and efficient. Has a nice infinity-styled pool, not big but fun enough. Room (or I should say, apartment) was spacious, clean, well-kept and very comfortable. The washer and dryer turned out to be very useful after coming back with wet clothes from the wet park. Nicely-packed toiletries left a good impression on me. Main gripe is the water pressure for shower, pretty miserable. But put up with it coz overall whole experience was good. So families who wish to visit Legoland and avoid spending too much for the Legoland Hotel, this place is worth it. Oh, we drove and carpark was convenient, spacious and with 24-hr security guard. 10 ringgit for 3 days, can't ask for more.

Service Minded and Convenience”

The staff at Somerset were very polite and helpful. They 'served' their guests with an excellent attitude. This made the stay very pleasant. The location is great for families who want to visit Legoland as it is within walking distance. Regarding breakfast, though not good, guests must be mindful that the serviced residence has made special arrangement with a caterer to provide the convenience of breakfast within the residence is not fully operational. It would be good for guests to drive if they intend to stay in the Medini area as most of the facilities around the area are not ready. That gives guests the option to go outside the area to Gelang Petah and Bukit Indah area for shopping and food.

Value for Money”

I booked for a three-bedroom apartment but due to delayed availability, we were upgraded. We asked for additional towels and beddings which were immediately provided to us. Very good service! Much appreciated. Very good service!. The hotel is just walking distance to Legoland and Medini Mall so it's very convenient. Just a short cab ride to Puteri Harbor which houses Hello Kitty and Thomas town. Highly recommended to families going to Legoland. Apart from the stinky comfort room at the reception area, we loved our stay at the hotel which even had a washing machine. This was very useful to wash and dry our clothes and towels after our visit to Legoland Waterpark.

good, clean, safe and near to legoland”

Our trip is to legoland. Somerset medini is only 10 mins walk to Legoland. There is no free parking in Medini but the parking rate is not expensive. We enjoyed our stay at Medini. All staff are friendly. Just a little long queue when checking out. They can consider to have a fast check out counter. overall, nice, clean and safe for kids. recommended!

location, location, location”

close to Legoland.. that will be the main attraction. staff was very accommodating, which really appreciated the front desk officer during check-in. we arrived quite early (10-ish am) planning to be among the early birds at Legoland.. just tried our luck if we could check in early and just leave our luggage in the apartment.. since it was a weekday, and lower occupancy rate, to our surprise we we able to check in.. so brought up our luggage to the apartment, changed into more comfortable clothes for the day at Legoland, and off we went.. the 2-bedroom apartment was nice, tastefully furnished, clean and complete with the basic amenities, kitchen included some eatery choices at Mall of Medini, although some shoplots were already closed, and would presume traffic will be very low during weekdays. we had dinner at one of the food outlets at Mall of Medini otw back from Legoland after closing time, and can see only sparse people around. probably busier during weekends and school holidays.

Good location near Legoland”

Had a wonderful stay at Somerset Medini. This was our second stay in 2 months. The 2 bedroom apartment was a perfect size for 2 families with young children. All the in room amenities were new and clean. The only downside was the limited breakfast as the hotel restaurant was not completed yet. This hotel is within walking distance, across from Mall of Medini and Legoland. A cheaper option to Legoland Hotel for larger families if you only intend to visit the Legoland theme parks, rather than have the Legoland hotel experience.

Lovin it!”

The hotel is new, literally walking distance to Legoland and it is a good alternative to Legoland Hotel. Price wise is reasonable and value for the money. Location wise in terms of surrounding area, it is still developing. So the main attraction there will be just the Legoland. Better to have your own transport to travel around because though there is a nearby mall (medini mall) opposite the hotel, for you to eat and buy some groceries but it is quite limited but adequate enough. Nevertheless, I'm happy with the room and the service given.

2 Bedroom Premier Apartment”

Stayed 3 nights with my family of 2 adults, 2 kids and a baby. Baby cot available upon request. Overall stay was superb. Location definitely a plus point if purpose of visit is to Legoland which is just 5mins walk across the road through Medini Mall to Legoland. Both rooms were with double beds(queen/king). The master room has an attached bathroom with bathtub but the main bathroom only has a shower cubicle. The 2nd room is just nice for kids as it does not have a TV in it. The kitchen is fully equipped with utensils and induction cooker for simple cooking, it has a microwave and toaster as well. 1 full size fridge and a washing machine with dryer function. Breakfast was simple..very simple actually. For those driving, please be aware that it is actually the same building as Afiniti Apartment. The signage for the serviced residence is abit obsecure. There is an underground parking within the building and is chargeable at RM10 for 3 days. I was charged RM20 because I stayed for 4 days. For food, I recommend driving/taxi to nearest town Bukit Indah. The nearby Medini Mall has a very minimal food outlets(KFC, Subway, OldTown, etc) and the prices charged by the convenience stores are ridiculously high.

Very near Legoland ”

I always enjoy staying at Somerset. We once stayed in Somerset KL and our experience is really good. The room is so relaxing. Huge and clean with free breakfast. In Somerset Medini they do not offer free breakfast (well in the room that I booked). Anyway, I always enjoy staying at Somerset. Also, they offer airport transportation service (with a fee of course) but still convenient for us who travelled in family. Thank you to Ms. Sara for arranging our transportation to and from Singapore. Two thumbs up!

Lovely stay in out of place area”

Somerset residence is place to go if you would like to have short stay in JB to unwind and distress. It's near to Lego Land & Mall Medini. Word of caution though the place is dead at night. Hence, better have early dinner unless you have a transport to go to nearby Bukit Indah or back to JB town which is like 20 mins drive. Staff is very friendly and understanding. I was supposed to check in at 3pm but was able to check in early at 11am since room was ready & available. Breakfast is catered and served in a big room and Somerset Medini do not have its own restaurant to begin with. Room is huge and clean. Bed & pillow are comfortable and to my liking. Unit is secured with double entry. There is a main door which leads to a small foyer which links to your unit entrance. I would recommend to all type of visitors especially big family.
