Johor Bahru hotels & places to stay

Thank you KSL for great hospitality during my stay. Love the facilities and the room. Breakfast is limited but still okay. I have a great stay during my visit to Johor Bahru.

There was a mistake in my booking & I realized only during check-in. However thanks to Agoda & KSL, I managed to resolve the problem & the staff who attended to me (tall Malay girl) was very patient & helpful. Overall, I enjoyed my stay in this hotel. Shopping is just downstairs. Breakfast was good with many variety on offer & helpful staff. Guests can rest at the lounge while waiting for check-in (brilliant idea - wish more hotels can do this!) Only grouse was the parking. I checked in on a Sunday & the mall parking was full so had to drive up to the higher levels. Small thing & did not in anyway affect my stay here. I highly recommend KSL Resort to anyone wanting a good hotel in Johor Bahru.

Last minute, no-fuss booking at a bargain price, over a long holiday weekend, was made possible with Agoda.com. Other sites offered prices 50% more than what Agoda.com offered. Very attentive and helpful staff during midnight check-in. Clean room and facilities. Hot water shower facility and a bathtub. Basic toiletries with 2 freshly laundered bath towels, 2 hand towels and floor towel mats were provided. Double bed not available for non-smoking room. However two large single beds, each able to accommodate 2 average size adults, was more than adequate & comfortable. This hotel has seen much better days as a premier hotel in Johor Bahru. Late check-out at 2pm. was offered upon request. If you are driving, covered FREE parking is available for hotel guests. At a bargain offer of RM153 per night, I recommend The Puteri Pacific Hotel in Johor Bahru. It may have seen glorious days in the past but its 5 star charm, hospitality and comfort is evident & welcomes the weary traveller.

Simply one of the best I've experienced around the world, and definitely the best, the number 1 choice if you are looking to stay in Johor Bahru. Excellent location, just beside KSL shopping, of course you have ksl resort as an option which is located above the shopping mall, but the staff service is nothing compared to the ones at Holiday villa. The cleanliness, the room, the comfy bed, the infinity pool (as raved by many), and above all, the staff service was simply awesome. You can never find a hotel better than this in Johor Bahru, if not the whole of Malaysia, and beats alot of hotel hands down world wide. At an affordable rate of average $85 per night, you can have all the best sleep of your night. 5 star rating and recommend to all to stay here.

Stayed at Amari for one night with my partner and I must say the hotel's location is fantastic and ideal for a short trip across the Causeway. It is just a short walk from the Johor Bahru checkpoint and across the road from two popular shopping malls — City Square and Komtar JBCC. In terms of customer service, we had a pleasant check-in experience and received a free upgrade to a junior suite (we had originally booked an executive club king room). The room was spacious, comfortable and clean, nothing to complain about at all. The "pillow menu" we found at our bedside table was a nice welcome touch as well although we did not utilise it. Breakfast buffet selection was also quite varied and we enjoyed it very much. We did not manage to try the rest of the dining options at Amari given our short stay. While Amari's rates are certainly more expensive than the average hotel in Johor Bahru, I'd say it's worth the splurge especially if you're looking for a nice place for a quick getaway.

New York hotel in Johor Bahru is conveniently located close to Singapore border. This makes the hotel a great hotel for business travelers or family going on vacation to Singapore but would prefer to stay in Malaysia. The rooms have recently been refurbished and its more modern and a more spacious feel. Amenities are plenty which includes an indoor swimming pool, massage center, hair salon and sundry shop which also has currency exchange if you need. Rooms are clean and staff are friendly and for those who drive, the hotel offers plenty of parking.

If you want a hotel that is close to Legoland, then this is an ideal choice. We stayed over the weekend with 2 young kids and drove to Legoland on Saturday morning, and reached within 15 minutes. There was very little traffic. Hotel Granada is also situated right in front of Aeon Mall so it's easy to find food while staying here. There's a McDonalds right next door too, so easy when you need to grab a quick meal. Rooms are comfortable and clean. Breakfast spread was modest. All in all, a value for money hotel if you want a quick stay in Johor Bahru.

thistle is our regular hotel in johor bahru, malaysia due to the value for money and hygiene level. location of hotel located on its own and if you want to travel out, you will need either your own vehicles or a cab. the bell boy would be more than willingly to get a cab for you at a charge of rm$2 (fixed booking charge of this rate for all cabs in johor bahru) room size (deluxe vs standard) all rooms are spacious as compared to other hotels i had stayed in. deluxe room have a bigger toilet but small living quarter whereas the standard room have a bigger living quarter but a smaller toilet size. hygiene standard rooms are pretty clean just that there are some bed-sheets that had stained in it; most probably they could not remove it. other than that, the hygiene standard is pretty good. deluxe room also come with an extra chair and the bed is way bigger. recommend to just go for the standard room which is cheaper if you are on a budget and someone who is going to spend most of your time in the living quarter and not the toilet and does not need the extra chair. room view the rooms are located too far away from the sea and the city view is facing a miserable highway therefore i’ll strongly recommend you to stick to the cheapest grade of room (standard room; city view) and not upgrade your room just for the sea view as recommended by others unless you do not mind forking out the extra money (pictures of the view are attached) *some sea-view room face the hospital and you will be able to hear the ambulance siren at night. i stayed at a pretty high floor room and yet still able to hear them. request for a room that is not facing the hospital if you are looking for some quality sleep.

This hotel have truly friendly staff and good service. Breakfast is nod bad. Roof top pool is cool. The restaurant which located at 14th floor has stunning view. This is my 4th time staying here. My only choice of hotel in Johor Bahru.

basically this can be considered the best business class hotel in Johor bahru. maybe a bit pricey as compared to near by hotels but worth the money that you pay; in terms of comfort, service, location and security. all amenities in the room are what you can expect to have in a 5 star hotel. exterior of building may look a bit run down. but the inside is much better. will definitely visit it again.

We were 3 adults and 2 young children having a night's staycation at Doubletree, the service by their staff totally amazed me and I forgotten that I'm in Johor Bahru, they were smiling from the point I touch down from my cab, the door men, reception staff etc.....we were given 5 warm cookies, snacks and welcome drinks which exceeded my expectations, I think they deserve a 5 star for their hospitality! As for the breakfast, they have a wide selection of food, however I noticed that some of the cooked food had turned cold and hence it doesn't taste as nice. Hope the hotel can take note of that. Otherwise, I am very impressed with this JB hotel and would love to have my staycation there again.

I felt very comfortable when staying at Amansari Express Hotel for family room. I will recommended for family members and friends to choose this hotel when they coming to Johor Bahru. The location was good, near to the checkpoint of Singapore. The room was big, cleanliness and very nice. I will continue to stay at this hotel again when i coming to the Johor Bahru & Singapore for the next time.

Stayed for a night in their one bedroom, it was beyond my expectation and far best stay so far in Johor Bahru. Apartment is newly opened. The parking was quite safe and I can assure that - especially for Singaporeans who have second thoughts on parking their motorbikes in Johor Bahru. The security guards were very attentive, seen them doing round checks in the premises. The check in was swift and the rooms are really clean and comfortable. Check in time was at 3pm but we checked in way earlier around 2pm. Was issued a room key however it was not really ready when we were outside our room. Waited for 10 minutes to be in the room but it is fine for me. Location is good for solo travellers too as the hotel was just a walking distance to Komtar JBCC and City Square. There’s 7-11 convenient store just right at the hotel lobby in case you need to get something urgently. Now, the cons about the apartment was the parking you have to pay on your own. (It comes with a price I guess) And the major turn off - their housekeeper was very rude. Knocked the door several times at 10:45AM to tell us to check out when we clearly knew the check out time was 12PM. Leave that alone, the housekeeper repeatedly knocked the door again at 12PM SHARP. How intense was that. I dont remember requesting the front desk to get someone for my wake up call. She was also rude when we asked the other housekeeper to confirm the check out time. She gave us her unpleasant death stare and walked away when the other housekeeper was apologizing on her behalf. Very rude and unprofessional. I hope the management can look into this matter. Other than that, theres nothing much to point out. Will still give the 5 star rating!

This is my 4th time stay at KOHO because the location of the hotel. And also it is value for money. Definitely will stay here for my next Johor Bahru visit.

(1) the apartment floor was very oily when checked in (2) only 1 bath towel inside the toilet. Can only get the other towel next morning when housekeeping is available. (3) Last time during my previous stay, I was told the housekeeping was from 8am to 8pm but this time round the counter staffs said housekeeping is only open from 8am to 12pm!!! Wondering how they do the housekeeping when customer check out at 1pm!!? Meaning the room have to wait until next morning 8am can be tidy up!!!! Rediculous! Right? (4) Cusotnwr service was very poor, response time was super very slow! I have to go all the way down to the Level counter to inform them in order to get thing done or answer queries.

1) Safe parking with guards 2) Quiet hotel area, close to Stulang Sea beach (tomato and halal seafood) 3) Spacious room, comfortable, friendly staff counter 4) My favorite and 1st choice hotel when visiting Johor Bahru 5) Near by 99 SpeedMart shopping, CIMB Bank and RHB Bank...

I was going to Legoland Malaysia with my wife and my son and we stayed at Somerset Medini for 3D2N. The hotel was really excellent and all the staff very helpful. 1. The location is just 5 mins walking distance to Legoland ( Theme Park and Water Park ) and Medini Mall 2. Somerset Medini provides shuttle car from hotel to Hello Kitty Town & Thomas & Friend location. 3. From City Square Mall / Johor Bahru Customs is just about 20 mins to reach the hotel ( SOMERSET ). 4. All the staff ( Receptionist, Security, etc ) are very helpful indeed. 5. The room is big ( because I stay with my family ) and very clean. I would like to suggest my friends too

The check in and check out was fast. I booked junior suite and I was so surprised to see it. It's so spacious. There's a sofa bed in the living area so it's so comfortable for the four of us. My kids slept on the sofa bed.The room and toilet were clean. There's also a mini kitchenette in the living area so it's so convenient for us. The hotel also provided tooth brush which I seldom get in other hotels. My kids really enjoy themselves especially with the pools. Since the pool is under the building so they could swim the whole day without feeling hot. The food in the hotel also was not bad. During our stay, we just ate at the hotel. For room service, it took about half an hour for the food to be ready since we ordered pizza. The price of the food was quite reasonable. I did enjoy the buffet breakfast with varieties of food. The scenery around the hotel was amazing and I felt like it's not in Johor Bahru. This hotel is a good choice for those who want to spend a night or two for relaxing

I will only check in Midori if I am staying over in Johore Bahru. Have been going since 2018. The place is well maintained unlike other hotels in JB. I like the design and concept of this boutique hotel-though small but all contained. Brought several different groups of friends & all loved it. The staff are wonderful too especially Justin. Will definitely go back.

the stay was enjoyable, the breakfast spread was more than decent although a little bit of class in the item such as single serving desserts will be welcome. the pool was decent and most importantly very clean, although more furniture for the swimming pool would be nice. what is not so nice is that there are not enough things going on surrounding the hotel, with Johor Bahru city still about 30 mins away.

The staff were friendly & efficient, the room & bathroom were clean and spacious. Other facilities include led tv with 12 channels, mini fridge, complimentary bottled water & coffee & tea , hair dryer & iron. Only thing lacking is a cafe at the hotel. However, 7 shop houses away is a 24 hour mamak restaurant & further is a Chinese & western restaurants. Recommended for those looking for a nice & reasonably priced hotel in Skudai, Johor Bahru.

Highly recommended for business travelers as it is easy access to all the major highways, to Johor Bahru or to Singapore. On the other hand, there are many restaurants nearby and also super market, such as Giant and Tesco which is in walking distance. Really convenience.

This was my first time staying at this hotel in Johore Baru with 9 other family members from 6 ~ 10 February 2016, and it was a wonderful experience! Not only Belllo Hotel among many other budget hotels in close proximity, it is impressively new, clean, comfortable, great and convenient location with 7/11 next door, 24-hour food shops, shopping malls and checkpoint all within short walking distance; our 2016 CNY stay was perfected by the great team led by the Operation Manager, Mr. Kartikh Balakrishnan. Apart from the aforesaid tangible aspects, customer services and expectations are more important to excite our holiday moods and to make our stay exceptionally memorable and unforgettable! It is worth to mention that, it was terrible to call for taxi during the CNY. When Mr. Kartikh managed to secured three taxi to fetch us to our CNY eve reunion dinner, at last, the taxi driver broke his promise without informing the hotel and had phone shut off! Frankly, I would never expect a hotel manager would proactively fetching us using his own personal car to and from restaurants with multiple trips! He even firmly declined to accept our token of appreciation in lieu of the taxi fare we are supposed to pay! Caring, attentive and thoughtful customer service are what spice up our recent stay that are suffice to cover up other shortfalls if any. I would have no hesitation to return to this hotel again and would definitely recommend Belllo Hotel to all holiday-goers going to Johore Baru. Thank you, Mr. Kartikh, Ziera, Shah, Alice, Bryan, Sol, Devi, Sal, Mattias, Ioan, Ben and Awal who have served us well. Keep up the good service!

just right behind the jusco tebrau city. easier to find parking, lovely design room. great hotel in JOHOR BAHRU

I was staying at Citrus Hotel, Johor Bahru for 4 days and 3 nights during my family vacation. The first impression when i saw the hotel from outside, "OMG, this hotel must be very old, scary, bla bla bla.." But that was totally wrong when i step in to the hotel reception. we were welcomed with a big smile the receptionist also is very friendly. Step in the room, i was amazed with the modern deco & a very clean room.. When i enter to the toilet, i feels like i was at my home's toilet.. Eventhough the hotel does not provided hotel car park, but i am very satisfied with my stay there... when we were hungry, we just have to walk in behind the hotel building & there were lots of food stalls with variety of foods to choose. Shopping?!! just walk beside the hotel building & you can shopped at City Square, Johor Bahru.. Overall, staying in Citrus Hotel, Johor Bahru giving me a different view on budget hotel & i will definitely choose this hotel if we come to JB in future...

Our family had a relax 3 day stay at the hotel - modern design and facilities. Easy access to the underground carpark . Breakfast was good and of wide varieties of local and international food. They have strong Wifi signal throughout the hotel. The pool is also child friendly and maximum depth of 1.2m - my son enjoyed very much. The hotel staff are friendly and helpful. The only grouse is the hotel entrance is only accessible from the main road in one direction and we need to make a U turn at the junction quite far away if we coming from Johor Bahru. There are plenty local eateries, fast food restaurant, massage joints all walking distance from the hotel. Overall is a quiet place for full relaxation away from town. Will visit again sometime soon
