"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."

"The location of the hotel is superb, all within a few minutes walking distance to the many local famous foodies in JB downtown like Ya Wang, Hua Mei, Kim Leng fish head curry, and more. One can also do cafe hopping at Jalan Dhoby, Jalan Tan Hiok Nee and Jalan Trus area. The night Bazaar which is literally downstairs of the hotel will make sure you will have a full fun day here in JB downtown without needing to drive out to elsewhere. Another thing to mention is we really enjoy the unobstructed view of the JB city center from our room !"

"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."

More about Johor Bahru City Center

Just over the causeway from Singapore, Johor Bahru is an important manufacturing and business hub for Malaysia. The city’s top attraction, the Istana Besar boasts a distinct Anglo-Malay architecture and houses the museum where priceless treasures of the Royal Collection are showcased. The perfectly manicured gardens are a favorite for family outings, joggers, leisure walk or games of badminton. There are also a large number of beautiful shop-houses in the area, built in the 1920s, when traders from Arabia, India and China once came to trade spices and tobacco.

Hotels in Johor City Center offer convenient access to the area’s shopping bargains. As an important manufacturing hub for the region, shops can offer goods much cheaper than can neighboring Singapore and there are several large malls. The City Center is navigable on foot via a series of underpasses and walkways. Taxis operate on a voucher-and-meter system, and vouchers are bought from booths on the edge of the road.

The annual Chingay Procession (Feb/Mar) sees five deities representing the five major Chinese communities paraded through the city centre. The parade features 130-year old traditional lion, dragon and tiger dances, Chinese clowns, beautifully decorated floats and martial arts troupes.
