However, they dont seem to have very good promotions recently. Even their $1 one-way promotion seems cheap at first, but if you click on dates etc, you'd find that the return sector is quite expensive and with taxes, it is hardly a good deal. I have this feeling that they try and sneak part of the price into the return sector to make people think that its a good promo. But I guess its my personal opinion - I'm sure the promotion works for alot of other people too.
Their marketing seems to fall below Jetstar and Tiger though. Of course I dont prefer them to spend alot on marketing then pass on the costs to passengers but there has to be some cost-effective ways which they can bring themselves up to par with their competitors no?

I had a surprisingly good experience with them 2 years back when they agreed to amend flight dates and times for me after much pleading. Usually such requests are not acceded to unless you pay extra but I guess I was lucky (or sounded pitiful enough).
I wish they would be more transparent with their taxes though, and yes I know that being not transport with the extra charges is a norm, but still getting to know what you would be paying for in total much earlier will be still very much appreciated.
Their promotions are also quite good although I can never seem to catch on their 1-4-1 promotion which is such a shame - the timings are always off. But I did manage to snag a $14 per way ticket for a short holiday which is nice and I am looking forward to it! $14 x 2 ways taxes = $100. Not bad at all!

PRICE - We paid 2 x Family Suites (each equipped with 2 bedrooms) and paid MYR630nett for each suite including breakfast for 4pax each which was not too bad a deal.
CHECKING IN - We arrived on a Sat morning 9am and obviously we were early so we came back late afternoon about 4pm (usual check in time is 3pm) and received the keys to our rooms. There were adequate staffing at the check in counters to assist guests though.
ROOMS - We were assigned 1304 and 1307. The rooms were very spacious and each bedroom in each suite was too - so much so it felt that there were a lot of wasted space in the rooms. Amenities were average though. Room 1304 was a corridor room and the layout was usual with the living room in the middle and the 2 bedrooms to the left and right. Room 1307 was a corner room so it had a more awkward layout with a smaller living room and then the rooms to each side of it. The bedrooms had 1 king and 2 double beds in each - the double beds can in fact sleep 2 comfortably - and each bedrooms has its own washroom, Each suite is also allowed to put in a max of 2 extra rooms although the space would have allowed for many more. The cleanliness in 1307 can be better though, with stained linens (which I didnt bother to seek a replacement for since its only for 1 night) and dusty couches.
FACILITIES - Apparently the hotel has it own spa on level 5 which is reasonably priced. Also a pooi, gym and your usual offerings.
RESTAURANTS - I only had breakfast at the Para Para restaurant (ground floor) hotel which was alright. I could see that they try to do well on the variety but nothing was excellent in terms of quality. The place was also quite bustling when we were there.
CHECK OUT - Check out was quick since our bill was quite simple and we paid in cash. They also tore the credit card deposit on the spot in my presence which was good.
SERVICE - Service in general was nothing to complain about since we didnt spend a lot of time in the hotel itself. A call for a wine opener was quickly answered to which was a plus point.
LOCATION - The nearest mall is KSL which was big and offered many options for a 2d1n trip but the walk from the hotel to the mall takes about 10-15mins at leisure pace. The route is also extremely un-sheltered so be prepared to brave the elements (heat / rain) if you are unlucky.
Although nothing memorable, this must already be one of the better hotels in JB. I will definitely stay here again but I will probably request for 1304 again or any room along the corridor as I feel housekeeping pays more attention to those than the corner ones.

Yes it was fun! And quite worth it to have the suites when you have a big group!

The store front looks a tad sleazy (haha!) because of their location and the set up is really really simple - just massage chairs for you to sit on and there's even no washing of feet (abit yucky for me), so you walk in, plonk on a chair, and get massaged.
The masseur whom I had was a Chinese lady Lili, who seems to have the knack for finding your sore spots. She has pretty strong hands too , which is very good for back massages.
The place is not your atas spas but for a cheap and good massage, I would recommend this place.
To be fair, I've only gone twice and both times I looked for the same masseur as I think she is quite good

All Browhaus-es are very similar in its look and feel and honestly unless you find a particular therapist you take a liking to, going to any other branches probably wont make too much of a difference in how your brows look after that.
Each session is quick, about 10mins for me as I have very very sparse brows. The therapist are usually friendly and civil, and have quite deft fingers.
I also try to do my upper lip threading together so I dont have to make my way there again, and that despite my being a seasoned 'threadee' is still ultra painful each time.
Combined with the brow threading, my face looks like I suffer from extreme allergies every time I leave the place.
But without fail, they will try to sell the brow resurrection every time I show up. It didnt seem to matter to them that the last time I got convinced enough to let their 'eyebrow master from hongkong' draw my brows to show me supposedly how the resurrection results will look like, my brows ended up lop-sided. And the master further tested my patience by telling me if I dont do it, I will be 没头没尾.
Dear browhaus: if you're trying to sell something to potential customers of your very expensive treatment ($1,200 for one-time plus $150 for every follow up required), dont insult them.
