MUO Boutique Hotels

Heard about the roof top dining area but alas,you need to call for reservation first before you can dine there.However I had the chance to go up first to have a look and was awestruck with the view esp of the river and Mt Ophir.Friendly staff at the reception as well as at the kitchen premise at the ground floor next to the hotel.Was here at around 6pm. Clean and interesting lobby with wooden merchandise.I didn't make a reservation and there were no diners yet at that moment.

Best hotel in town! MUO BOUTIQUE HOTEL. Clean room and friendly staff. They are so welcoming! Room with muar river view. Will definitely come again!

Had a good one night stay over the weekend at this beautiful hotel, best in Muar. Reception is warm, lobby is bedecked with nice furniture and decor as well as merchandise for sale. The corridor outside the rooms is clean with seats at 2 locations, walls decorated with locally curated art pieces. The rooms are small and simple with luxurious bedlinens. The bathrooms are large for size of rooms with nice own brand toiletries. The towels are thick and luxurious. One has no complaints at all and will definitely stay here in future visits to our hometown. Parking is free across the street. Walkable distance to all the 5 streets, all the way to Jalan Arab market and hawker centres in town.

I was on a 3 days trip here in Muar, which I had stayed a night each at MUO Resort and MUO Boutique Hotel. Both properties are managed by the same company. To compare, Muo Boutique Hotel is very much town-centric. On the other hand, Muo Resort is more rustic and geared towards the outdoors with a farm house setting (Read my other review on MUO Resort). MUO Boutique Hotel is refurbished from an old shophouse building. Whilst the facade is conserved, its interior is overhauled and decorated into a contemporary space outfitted in retro décor, with nods to the town’s heritage and creative community. At the lobby and hotel corridors, you will notice an assortment of retro paraphernalia — Old TV sets, radios and antique lamps, which is a throwback to the nostalgic years. Opened in 2017, the 24-room hotel offers rooms that are located from the first to the third level (British setting). I had booked a Deluxe Twin Room (No. 204) and was accommodated on the second level. The room offers a view of the Muar River, though obstructed by buildings and trees. While it also faces the road, traffic noise is kept to a minimum with its double pane windows. Although the room measures 15 square metres, it offers all the comfort of the stay. The bathroom is of acceptable size, though there is no partition at the showering area. This resulted in the bathroom floor being wet after each shower. Fortunately it dries up rather quickly. Part of the bathroom is covered with frosted glass, but privacy is ensured. The showering experience is enhanced with a rain shower fitting. The shower pressure is good and the bath towel is both thick and fluffy. Entertainment is limited to local channels and a couple of Cable TV channels such as Aljazzera, CCTV4, Astro Supersport. The Wi-Fi connectivity in the room is good. The amenities in the room include shower gel, shampoo and hair dryer. There are no dental kit, mini fridge and electronic safe. A kettle is provided to make fruit tea, a nice Muar beverage choice offered by the hotel. Although there is no food and beverage outlet in the hotel, you can find plenty of eateries serving local food that are within walking distance. There are also a 7-Eleven and foreign exchange service nearby. Overall, MUO Boutique Hotel is a good accommodation choice in Muar. Its strategic location makes it convenient for travellers who want to stay near the bus terminal (Bentayan Muar Terminal), the various attraction sites and popular food spots. As a guide, these are the walking distances from the hotel to the following places: • Muar Street Art - 200m • Wetex Parade (Shopping mall) - 400m • Glutton Food Street - 650m • Bentayan Muar Terminal - 750m • Muar Cultural Walk - 800m If you are searching for a nice looking Instagrammable hotel located in the town centre, look no further.

Great location. Very clean hotel with attentive staff. Do not book this hotel online as their walk in rates are way cheaper (even according to their front office staff). Will definitely stay here again.
