**Legoland & Gleneagles Views! Stunning 3BR Johor Bahru Condo**
Alright, buckle up, buttercups! This isn't your typical hotel review; this is a vibe check on the "Legoland & Gleneagles Views! Stunning 3BR Johor Bahru Condo." And I'm about to spill the tea, the coffee, and maybe even a stray noodle or two. Because let's be honest, perfection is boring.
First Impressions: Location, Location, Location (and the Slight Panic About the Roads)
Okay, so first things first: accessibility. As someone who appreciates a smooth glide, I'm happy to report that – after a slightly harrowing taxi ride with a driver who treated the red lights like suggestions – we actually got there. The condo itself seemed pretty good on initial views. I didn't specifically test wheelchair access, but visually, the lobby and common areas looked spacious and navigable. (They should specify this better in their listings, though, for real!) Bonus points for the Free Car Park – because, let’s face it, finding parking in JB is a contact sport.
The Condo Itself: Gorgeous Views, (Slightly) Quirky Charm
Right, the condo. The star of the show. Stunning views, they said. And they weren’t lying. Seriously, from our balcony, it was legit postcard-worthy. I mean, wow. The Legoland view was awesome, but the Gleneagles angle… well, it gave you a proper sense of JB's skyline.
Inside, it was clean, airy, and spacious. Three bedrooms, right? We had a whole space – a luxury! The air conditioning worked miraculously. (Thank the heavens, because Malaysia is hot.) Complimentary tea and Free bottled water were a lifesaver after the travel, and having a coffee/tea maker in the room was a godsend. I could have lived forever in that seating area.
But here’s where it gets real. I loved the extra long bed, but I noticed the shower pressure wasn't the strongest. A tiny tiny thing; it's not a dealbreaker, but you can tell I'm trying to find the actual issues, people!
Amenities: The Good, the Great, and the Undeniably Sauna-y
Okay, let's break down the amenities like a good foodie dissects a curry.
- The Good: Swimming pool? Check. Outdoor Swimming pool? Double Check. The pool was clean, the water was refreshing, and it had a view! Winning. Fitness Center? It was there, although if I’m honest, I may have looked at it more than I used it. (Don’t judge me; vacation!) I also hear there’s a Spa/Sauna, but I didn't make it and now I regret it.
- The Great: Free Wi-Fi in all rooms? Yes, and it worked like a dream. Crucial for the Instagram addiction, obviously. Daily housekeeping? Absolute heaven. And the 24-hour front desk gave us a sense of comfort.
- The Undeniably Sauna-y: I didn't go to the sauna or Steamroom. But the dream is still alive.
Food, Glorious Food (and the Quest for the Perfect Meal)
Right, food. This is where things get interesting. Dining options nearby can be a little tricky, so having a kitchen to work with seemed a good option. The website listed a bunch of restaurants.
- A la carte in restaurant, Asian cuisine in restaurant, International cuisine in restaurant, Vegetarian restaurant, Western cuisine in restaurant… I am an open-minded foodie… but I have to admit, this sounds much more convenient than our actual experience.
- 24-hour Room service might come in handy…
- If you're a fan of food delivery apps (like me), you're in luck. They are convenient, but getting a Breakfast takeaway service might solve the problem.
Safety and Cleanliness: Keeping it Real (and Safe)
- Anti-viral cleaning products? Rooms sanitized between stays? Staff trained in safety protocol? I’m a COVID-conscious worrier, so this was a huge relief! Everything felt clean, and the staff were genuinely friendly and helpful.
- There's CCTV in common areas and outside property, which provides a sense of security. There's Smoke alarms and a Safety/security feature.
- The physical distancing of at least 1 meter felt implemented, which is something I noticed!
- The Safe dining setup also provided a much-needed peace of mind at the time
For the Kids: Family Friendly? Heck Yeah!
- Family/child friendly? Absolutely. There were kids running amok (in a good way!) at the pool. I'm assuming the babysitting service is available. The place has Kids facilities, however, Kids meal? I don't know.
Things to Do & Ways to Relax: Beyond the Pool
Okay, you're in JB, but you're staying in a killer condo. The Swimming pool [outdoor] is a must, otherwise it's Ways to relax: Massage and Spa services that I missed.
Services and Conveniences: The Little Things That Matter
- Concierge? Present and helpful. Cash withdrawal? Cool. Elevator? Essential. Luggage storage? Very convenient for the late check-out. Laundry service? Thank goodness!
- Because of the pandemic, some of those services may be restricted.
The Verdict: Should You Book?
Absolutely.
Here’s why:
- The View. Seriously, that view. It’s worth the price of admission alone.
- Space! Three bedrooms in a city apartment? Luxurious.
- Cleanliness and Safety. They're taking this seriously.
- Convenience. The amenities, the free parking, the Wi-Fi: all winners
My Offer (and the Honest Truth That Makes it Compelling):
Listen, I'm not going to lie: there are probably some slightly more luxurious places to stay in JB. But you know what? This place has heart. It feels like a really lovely home. And you know there's a world of convenience. They have everything.

Johor Bahru: A Rollercoaster of LEGOs, Greens, and (Maybe) Regret - A Messy Itinerary
Okay, buckle up, buttercups, because this is less "smooth travel guide" and more "diary of a slightly unhinged tourist in Johor Bahru." We're aiming for the Highfloor AmazingView 3BRLegolandGleneagles BySTAY, which sounds fancy, but knowing my luck, the 'AmazingView' will be of a parking lot. Here we go…
Day 1: Arrival, Anticipation, and the Perils of Self-Assembly Furniture
- Morning (or, 'Whenever the Airline Gods Deign to Let Us Arrive'): Flights! Ugh. I hate flying. The cramped seats, the recycled air, the sheer existential dread of being hurtled through the sky in a giant metal tube…Anyway, we landed in Johor Bahru. Immigration was surprisingly painless (score one for Malaysia!), and then it’s taxi time. Praying the taxi guy isn't a speed demon, because I'm still digesting that pre-flight airport burger.
- Afternoon: Check-in & The Great Furniture Debacle: Finally! The Highfloor AmazingView! (Fingers crossed it IS amazing). Okay, initial impressions: the apartment is… spacious. Maybe too spacious? I’m getting lost already. And the furniture… Oh sweet merciful heavens, the furniture. It's that dreaded self-assembly type, the kind that promises "easy assembly" and then steals an hour of your life, leaving you with a mangled Allen wrench and a profound sense of inadequacy. I wrestled with a coffee table for a solid hour, muttering profanities and cursing the Swedish concept of "flat-pack." Note to self: Pack extra pain relievers.
- Evening: Food Court Frenzy… and Regret (Maybe)?: After the furniture fiasco, I was STARVING. Wandered the nearest food court. The aroma hit me like a warm, spicy hug. Ordered everything that looked vaguely edible. Spicy noodles, a weird-looking durian pastry (I'm adventurous!), and something that they just called "chicken." Ate way too much. The durian pastry? Definitely an…experience. Let's just say my taste buds are still recovering. The chicken, though? Delicious. But that's when the post meal regret hit and I was just, Ugh. The food court was a blur of faces, smells, and a minor existential crisis.
Day 2: Legoland & The Trauma of Over-stimulation
- Morning: Legoland or Bust!: Today is the day. Legoland! I have a soft spot for LEGOs; I mean, who doesn’t? (Okay, maybe some people. But not me). The anticipation is KILLING me! I'm picturing myself building a giant LEGO dragon…or, you know, actually seeing some of the amazing Lego builds.
- Afternoon: LEGO Overload! Oh. My. God. Legoland is… intense. Like, a carnival of color, noise, and pure, unadulterated joy (and a few screaming children). The detail in the LEGO structures is mind-blowing. Buildings, landscapes, entire cities… all crafted from tiny little bricks. I spent a good hour just staring at the LEGO version of the Petronas Towers, muttering "How?" repeatedly. The rides? A mixed bag. The rollercoasters were thrilling (but made my stomach churn), and the water rides left me soaked to the bone (but it was hot, so kinda refreshing?). The kids? Well, let's just say I dodged a few stray elbows and a surprising amount of snot.
- Evening: Pizza and Perspective: Retreating to the apartment to recharge. Pizza. Lots and lots of pizza. Honestly, I think I’m still processing the visual bombardment of Legoland. My brain feels like it’s made of LEGO bricks. Reflecting on it, the park was amazing, a feat of engineering and creativity, but it's also chaotic. And maybe, just maybe, I’m getting too old for theme parks? Nah. Never. More pizza, please.
Day 3: Greenery, Golf, and (Potentially) Wildlife Encounters… or NOT.
- Morning: The Gleneagles Attempt (and the Golfing Disaster): Today, we're supposed to "relax" at the Gleneagles golf course. "Relax" is a strong word. I have never, EVER played golf. Armed with a borrowed set of clubs, a desperate prayer for a good swing, and a healthy dose of self-doubt, I headed to the course. It was a disaster. I swung, I missed, I cursed, I tripped. My golf game is currently about as graceful as a baby giraffe on roller skates. Decided to bail after three holes because I was sweating more from the embarrassment than the heat.
- Afternoon: Nature Break: I needed some serious nature therapy after that golfing debacle. Headed to a park. Walking among the trees, the sounds of birds chirping was exactly what I needed. Found a quiet spot to just sit and breathe. Bliss. Maybe I’ll become a nature person. Probably not.
- Evening: Food Court Round Two (and a New Found Appreciation): Back to the food court. This time, I knew what to expect. Tried some new dishes: some kind of noodle soup that burned my mouth beautifully and a plate of satay. I'm starting to embrace the chaos of the food court, the sensory overload, the sheer vibrancy of it all. I’m learning (slowly) to navigate the menu and even (gasp!) use chopsticks with a semblance of skill. And the prices! Unbelievable.
Day 4: Unexpected Adventure (and the Flight of Doom)
- Morning: The Lost in Translation Incident: Decided to be spontaneous and explore a local market. Communication barriers! Oh, the joy. I pointed, I gestured, I used my (admittedly terrible) Malay phrases. Somehow, ended up buying…a very large, very green, and entirely inexplicable fruit. The vendor just winked, pocketed my money, and sent me on my way. Can't wait to see what that thing is…
- Afternoon: Unexpected Delight: While I was researching my fruit, I was walking the streets and stumbled upon a hidden gem: a little art gallery showcasing local artists. The colors, the emotion, the pure talent… it was breathtaking. Completely unexpected and totally delightful.
- Evening: The Flight to Regret: The time has come. The dreaded flight back. Everything went smoothly until the moment we were in the air, and I realized I hadn’t packed snacks. And oh, the food on the plane? Let’s just say airplane food is not my friend. I’m already dreaming of the next adventure, even though this one just ended.
Final Thoughts:
Johor Bahru: It's messy, it's chaotic, it's delicious, and it's… well, it's definitely an experience. The Highfloor AmazingView? The view was pretty decent, actually. The apartment was a good size. The furniture? Still not my friend. Legoland? Absolutely worth it, even if it did give me a sensory overload. The food? Glorious. The golf? An utter disaster. The people? Kind, funny, and patient with my terrible attempts at speaking their language. Would I go back? Absolutely. Though next time, I'm bringing my own snacks and maybe a professional furniture assembler. And a LOT more pain relievers.

Okay, Seriously? Legoland & Gleneagles Views Condo FAQs (…and My Brain Dump)
Alright, you’re thinking about booking the place. Smart move, hopefully. Prepare for the truth – the messy, slightly-neurotic, probably-shouldn't-be-publicly-posting-this truth. I'm gonna tell you everything (good, bad, and the utterly bonkers). Let's dive in. Deep.
1. Is it REALLY as close to Legoland as they say? Because Google Maps lies.
Okay, LISTEN UP. The “walking distance” claims? Take them with a grain of salt the size of a Lego brick. Yes, it's CLOSE. Like, you can see the glorious, plastic-y tower from the balcony close. But the sidewalks… man, they're a bit of a trek. We tried it once. *Once.* The humidity hit us like a wet blanket. My kids started whining within five minutes. The actual time? Maybe more like a 20-minute sweaty march. The GRAB ride situation? Ace. Cheap too. Consider it a $5 well spent just to escape the heat and the tiny, whiny human army you'll be lugging around. Don't expect a brisk stroll – it's Malaysia, not Denmark. Trust me.
2. The View! Is it actually spectacular? And, more importantly, Instagrammable?
Okay, the view. The Gleneagles view is decent. It's a hospital, but, hey, it has a nice glow at night. The actual *spectacular* part is that **giant freaking Lego structure!** Seriously, from the balcony, you can actually see the top of the tallest Lego thingy. It's pretty cool. Especially at sunset! Instagrammable? Absolutely. I mean, even *I* managed to get a decent photo, and my photography skills are… let's just say, developing. Just don't expect panoramic mountain vistas. Think more… urban sprawl with a sprinkle of plastic magic. But still, I woke up every morning and actually *loved* the view. Just knowing Legoland was there? It was delightful.
3. The Condo Itself – Is it actually clean? Because I’m a germaphobe. (Okay, maybe not a full-blown one…)
Cleanliness is paramount, right? I get it. (My kid once licked a public handrail… ugh). Honestly, it *was* reasonably clean. Not sterile, surgical-room-clean (thankfully, because, expensive!). But decent. We're talking hotel-level clean, maybe slightly better. I did, however, give the kitchen a quick once-over with my own disinfectant wipes just because... okay, yes, I'm a little neurotic. And the bathrooms? Fine. No horrors lurking. But bring your own hand soap. You know, just in case. I'm happy to say the condo did provide a good experience.
4. Three Bedrooms – Is there enough space for a family of… say, five, who are all mildly claustrophobic?
Five? Okay, well, let's be straight. The main bedroom has a massive bed and a private bathroom. The other two are… adequate. Certainly, not small. Could *five* adults fit? Maybe, if you’re all on zen-like terms with each other. But a family with some little ankle-biters? Perfectly fine. My kids shared a room, and they spent more time bouncing off the beds than sleeping in them. Space, generally, is not a huge problem, but if your travelling with, say, a 6-foot-5 uncle, you might not want to pick the place.
5. The Amenities – Pool, Gym, all that jazz. Are they actually *good*?
Oh, the amenities! The pool was… a lifesaver. Especially after a day melting inside Legoland. It's a decent size, clean, and the kids basically lived in it. The gym? I glanced at it, then promptly retreated to the comfort of the AC in the condo. (I tried once. I regretted it. It was hot. And I was not. Not up for it.) So, yeah, the pool's great. The gym? I wouldn't make a special trip.
6. Is it close to any good food? Because, let's be honest, that's important. REALLY important.
FOOD. Okay, this is where it gets interesting. There is a HUGE mall a GRAB away. But I am not a fan. I liked the small food court, but honestly you have to work to find good food. It's not like the hawker stalls right outside the door. But, there are some restaurants and decent grocery stores nearby. You'll need to use Grab or a car to get to the REAL good stuff. Don't go expecting mouth-watering street food out the door. But a little planning can solve that. Plus, you can always order food! I once spent an entire afternoon ordering food, then watching Legoland fireworks from the balcony. Best. Day. Ever.
7. The Elevator – Is it going to break down and trap me inside? Because I have issues with confined spaces.
Okay, the elevator. This is one of those things that I *shouldn't* be mentioning, but… it was fine. Really. No breakdowns during my stay. But the building IS older. And I *did* have a slight moment of panic one morning, when the elevator went all the way to the garage, then just… sat there. For a little while. Not long. But long enough for my anxiety to spike. (I have a touch of claustrophobia, okay? Don't judge.). It eventually sorted itself out. I might recommend using the stairs if you have a fear of lifts.
8. Would you actually recommend this place? Be honest. And will you be using it again?
Honestly? Yes. Absolutely. I would recommend it. Yeah, there's the humidity, and the slightly-sketchy elevators, but the location is great (close to Legoland, and Grab is your friend). The view is amazing. The pool is a godsend. The space is good. And, let's face it, I'm fussy. It was convenient. I'm probably going back. My kids *loved* it. And that, in the end, is what matters. Plus, I know where the good restaurants are now. (Pro-tip: Go to [restaurant name here, so I can keep it a secret!]). So, yeah. Book it. But don't blame me if you get stuck in the elevator. (Just kidding… maybe?)
