“Lovely hotel and very conveniently located. Some improvements needed though.”
+I spent a night at Muo Boutique Hotel to explore the charming town of Muar and all the delicious food. The hotel is conveniently located around the food and cultural district, a short walk from the famous Muar Street Art as well as the popular food street Jalan Haji Abu. The hotel has a beautiful retro vibe. Very tastefully decorated with retro pieces of furniture whilst still feeling quite modern. There were some gripes about the room though: 1) My "queen + single" room felt a little cramped. Also, there was a lack of places to place loose items such as car key, wallet, phone etc, especially around bedside for charging. Had to use the provided stool. 2) The bathroom tiles were slippery when wet, and therefore I would strongly advise groups with seniors to reconsider staying here. 3) The tap was faulty and kept leaking water. Due to the water pressure it caused a 'hammering' sound as the water leaked. I put it down to a poor quality faucet.
+Family premium room had no windows but my kids love it. Love the aesthetics of the hotel. Very quaint and unique! Rooftop is a nice place to sit and talk with family.our room had a loft with single bed however spotted several mosquitoes. The steps to the loft in our room needs some repair as some of the wood chips are coming off and can be quite dangerous.

“Poorly maintained hotel.”
+We booked this with high expectations as it was set in an old building and quite well rated. The rooms are rather small and equally small Bathroom. Service staff is minimalist, only one. No cafe. Appears to be set up the market their in-house merchandise. The sewage smell in the lobby and in the lift lobby is awful. Door latch broke off and no replacement. Finally the premium room on the street side is noisy and guess what, they provide you free earplugs at the front desk!
+It's a very nice cozy hotel. My family had a great stay during the weekend

“Instagrammable Hotel In A Hard To Beat Location”
+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,

“Good location and friendly staff”
+The hotel is located towards the end of the busy main street. Thus, it is still very convenient to walk around in the city. Even though it is at the main roadside, it wasn't so noisy at night because lesser vehicle on the road after 9pm. The hotel will provide parking coupon that allow you to park at the open area at the opposite private parking. The Malay lady (sorry I couldn't see her name on the tag) at the check-in counter is very friendly. The hotel will also provide two tea bags to guest as welcome drink, also some local snacks. The tatami room with window is small but good enough for 1 person. Bathroom size is decent. If you don't want to go far, you can just walk across the road near the bus station to get your dinner. The corner shop serves nice mee bandung and a local snack call jemput-jemput.

“Lovely setting by the river”
+Its my first time walking in without a booking to a hotel. Checked online, sold out. Was lucky to get a room. A Twin Room with window at RM130. Quite a bargain. Overall cleanliness is great. We push two bed together, nothing underneath the bed. Good impression. Bed was comfortable, 2 towels and face towels provided. Dispensable body shampoo and hair shampoo. The hotel itself gave a nice aesthetic. Nicely decorated. Upon checkin we were given local snacks & fruit tea. Nice gesture. Did not expect it at all. Free parking across the street near Taxi Terminal. Do note that Mi Bandung Hj Hanipah is very near to the hotel. And its a must try when in Muar. Overall, highly recommended.

“Convenient location accessible to food street”
+4 star instead of 5 because 1) I booked Tatami Twin room for my friend and i based on the room photos and description in Agoda which indicated two single proper beds. Upon check in, the receptionist explained to us that the rooms are small and tatami room means just a mattress on the tatami floor. So we requested for an upgrade to ensure that we have proper beds. We settled with her for the upgrade. We don't mind paying for an upgraded room if this is so, but the descriptions in websites are the same and in fact also same pricing between tatami and non-tatami rooms. We didn't ask to see the actual tatami room as described by the receptionist as we were too busy with our day but trusted her explanation. After checked in, we entered our assigned room, it was very small, although it had a window with a view of the harbour. My booking on Agoda was Superior Tatami Twin. So i guess my booking was for a room without a window, and both these rooms seem the same size ie 15m2.

“Probably the best place to stay in Muar”
+Everything about this hotel is decent. The road reaching this hotel is a busy street so expect some delays if u drive during peak hours. There are ample parking around and in front the hotel. The good: Comfortable room & cold air cond Decent Wi-Fi signal and sufficient for 3 devices USB cable was provided in the room not sure intentionally or left behind by previous occupant About 10 minutes walk to glutton street but try not to walk alone There seems to be more than meets the eye but was not introduced to by the hotel staffs, which is unfortunate Checking in and out was a breeze with free tea provided Friendly staffs The bad: Nothing much here but lacking a fridge and not providing toothbrush set is a minor inconvenience The soundproofing is a little poor Overall, a slight tweak or improvement can certainly get this hotel a 5 star rating

“ok nothing great”
+its an ok hotel. bed and pillow are comfy. since the hotel is facing the mainroad. the rooms are terribly noisy. i didnt get a peaceful sleep. if can try getting a room facing back of the hotel not front. another thing, the receptionist should learn to be more customer oriented, she was pretty rude and not friendly. -booking under sunny-
