Guest score
Four Points by Sheraton Johor Bahru is a 150-room select-service hotel in the Bandar Seri Alam township near Masai, with an all-day restaurant and a large ballroom aimed at business travellers.
Last updated August 6, 2026
Four Points by Sheraton Johor Bahru opened in April 2026 as the brand's debut in Bandar Seri Alam, a fast-growing commercial and industrial township east of Johor Bahru. Created through the refurbishment and rebranding of the former AmanSari Residence Resort under a franchise between SKS Group and Marriott, it offers 150 rooms across Twin, King and unusually spacious three-bedroom duplex categories, plus an all-day restaurant called The Mesh, a lobby bar, an outdoor pool, a fitness centre and a large ballroom with extensive function space. Early guest feedback across booking platforms is generally positive, clustering around an 8/10 aggregate. Reviewers consistently single out warm, attentive service and a well-regarded breakfast spread, including weekend live cooking stations, and note that the rooms feel new, clean and roomy. The property is positioned for business and MICE demand given its proximity to the Pasir Gudang and Tanjung Langsat industrial hubs. Watch-outs recur: the location is relatively remote from central Johor Bahru attractions and dining, ride-hailing can be inconsistent, some rooms catch road or equipment noise, and several guests flagged an awkward bathroom layout with few shelves for toiletries. As a brand-new conversion it has extensive OTA ratings but very little independent long-form review coverage so far, so expectations should be calibrated to a solid, functional select-service hotel rather than a full-service resort.
