Where to stay in Johor State
Johor State hotels & accommodations
Still under construction at the upper floors so you can expect some drilling and banging noises. But the price is good. Breakfast is spartan as occupancy is low. Probably it’s the best hotel room I ever stayed in Johor maybe because it’s new. Most other hotels I have stayed in Malaysia tend to get very run down after a short while due to lack of maintenance so this new...
dear hotel lovers, ksl resort hotel is the most convientant hotel in johor with great shopping (within the building), free complimentary carpark, great 5 stars hotel breakfast & free wifi connection for every rooms (new & clean). highly recommended to those who love travelling overseas for shopping trip in johor. cheers.
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 to...
Overall its an awesome stay given the exchange from sgd to msia. i like the location of the hotel with a short walk to KSL and plaza pelangi. Also a lot of food stall around. and money exchange is available. This will be great for travellers who is not familiar with johor. Hotel room is comfy, spacious and clean. i often see housekeeping along the corridor even thoug...
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 ...
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 ...
From arrival, then check in, all perfect. Room was fantastic with great view. The only lack was short of staff. For 5 star hotel, hotel lobby MUST have someone, to mingle with guest and ready for any questions. If this area can be achieved, it will be best hotel at that area and definately you will see more return guest.
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, ...
This is my 4th time staying at this hotel. Overtime when visit to Legoland, if we decided to stay in JB for 1 or 2 nights, we always choose to book at this hotel. This time we try the suite, its cost slightly more but it's definitely worth booking. The room is much bigger and we can get some good rest after a long day shopping in Johor. Opposite of this hotel, ther...
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) ...
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...
Hotel is expensive relative to the other hotels in Johor but you get what you pay for. The welcome cookie was fantastic. Quite easily the best hotel stay we have ever had in Johor. Conveniently located near to the check point. One way street in front of the hotel does make it troublesome for taxis or uber as they have to make a big round to turn back to hotel. That is...
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 & Sin...
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...
My friend and I were cycling in Johor and needed a place to sleep around Desaru, we found a promotion at Desaru Tunamaya which seemed decently priced (Rm.67++) and the reviews were good so we decided to stay there. Upon our arrival, first pleasant surprise: the place is extremely easy to find. Then during check-in and without asking for anything: we got upgraded! Room ...
Most recommended place to stay if you go to Johor... Near to mall, market, and bar if you wanna drink beer for enjoy the night...
The unit was aptly furnished. Iron, hairdryer, towels, soap and shampoo were provided. Easily accessible by car but not on foot, but with Grab around this is really not a problem. It is 15 min walk and 5 min drive from KSL and Taman Sentosa. Around 8-10 Ringgit Grab to the checkpoint. We took a walk from Taman Sentosa with our stomachs full after lunch. There are enou...
This hotel is located just a few kilometres away from the heart of of the city, but it is cheaper than all the hotels in the city centre, hostels and dormitories notwithstanding. The location where it is situated, Taman Pelangi, isn't shabby either and there are numerous eateries, bars, pubs, and shopping malls nearby. Plaza Pelangi which supposedly has Johor Bahru's b...

Actually I booked the wrong hotel. Staff was kind to allow cancellation for last day. Checkin definitely slow as everyone has to pay and ask questions even though there are 5 staff. However staff always smiling, service is good. The room looks abit older/worn than Somerset Puteri Habour, the floor also not as clean. The cups were so stained and looks unusable. I have ...
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 ...
The decos & interiors are pleasant to look a. I liked those fancy dark blue galaxy-like floor tiles, they are mesmerizing. Front line staffs should have been better. Well you know, i've been to Philippines, the staffs there are much responsive and attentive to guests. So i hope the hotel management could train their staffs to be much more professionals next time. A...
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 fo...
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 a...
I had the most absolutely fantastic and relaxing time at Hotel Tebrau CT..The hotel staff are genuinely friendly and warm.They are sincere in trying to help out the guests in any way they can.Check in and check out time are super fast and hassle free.They even include complimentary drink in the relatively cheap hotel rate.The room is very large and nicely decorated.The...
The staffs were very helpful and friendly. The rooms and corridor has been newly renovated. The rooms are spacious, bed are comfy, room facilities are well arranged, toiletries are sufficient. This hotel deserves more than a three stars rating. Location is extremely good. The hotel are surrounded by most of the favourite/popular shopping centres and hawkers in Johor Ba...
Cheap places to stay in Johor State
I very like this hostel, staff are friendly and the place is cleaness. The location is very near Larkin bus station, and go CIQ Johor just take 8mins grab, have a dobby beside and have a 24hours Malay restaurant in front. Just the blanket is too thin cause the air conditioner is very cool. I will back to this hostel again.
So i booked a room, intended for only 1 night stay. came with wife, and 2 kids (5 and 2 yrs old). clean room, linen also clean, quiet as well. Was surprised that the toilet actually is shared toilet (i did not specifically look if the toilet is actually in the room when i book), but even so, the toilet is also very clean and tidy. Definitely recommended if you are on...
Hostel offer the closet proximately to the Johor immigration by 15 min walk. Walking to the immigration johor Malaysia will bring you the the Singapore woodland. Immigration in johor not only as the check point for guest to go in and out Singapore but also as a connecting point where the hostel, transportation hub and johor city. Walking through the immigration you wil...
( + ) Clean room , facilities complete , fast check in , fast check out , friendly staff , safe hotel because main door locked after 7pm , cheap price , deposit only RM50 ( - ) None
I stayed there longer than I was originally supposed to and I'm glad I did. I got the chance to meet the owner who is super cool. The staff is super helpful even tough they don't speak english very well, they will go out of their way to make you comfortable and help you out. The only downside I can think of is that it's far from downtown Johor Bahru. Once you get used ...
good cheaper and nice place to stay over the nights. the place is strategically located in the heart of town.. near to restaurants, to jetty. pretty safe. quite noisy as it stay just next to main road... it have the comfortable common area to hang out. the staff was very friendly.
This is my first time staying at this hotel after getting to know its rating of 8.2 on Agoda. So, I booked a room with window. Although it is a budget hotel, it has unbelievably complete facilities such as flat screen tv, iron, iron board, jug kettle, cups, hair dryer, coffee and teas, flask to keep warm water. A table to place my laptop to do my work, a chair and toi...
No respect and attack people at room, just get fake info from crazy woman, and that chinese woman simply want to burn my doposit... To bad... Im travel from selangor to segamat, and get a bad homestay..
The hotel lobby was pleasant. Eventhough the front desk personnel was not well versed in English, they tried their best to communicate. The room was ok although there was shit in the toilet. It was disgusting. I had to complain about it. They were nice enough to upgrade our room due to the inconvenience. They did not ask us to pay for the upgrade. It was 1KM close to t...
Totally love our stay of the features in the room & shower! Where they had,Not one ,Not two..but 3 types of shower concepts to choose from! How awesome is that! Very comfortable bed with air-conditioning..and also, they are thoughtful enough to place Water dispenser on each floor(outside the lift area) and vending machines on the lobby area! And oh,not forgetting the...
The best 3 star hotel in Johor we will be back if we have opportunity to stay with good room and best breakfast.
Overall was good, just the location was a bit not convinience for traveller that not driving here. But luckily the hotel management site maybe been consider on what the not convinience problem n they provide short distance sending service for all traveler for their hotel. They have 2 van driver with them one who name MR. RASHYDY was a very responsible, friendly and hel...
Everything was nice as needed. I looked at a lot of the rooms. Most were great in and of themselves but as it's next to the main road in town (good and bad) there can be a lot of traffic noise from outside. Otherwise great location close to the bus station, restaurants, even a bowling alley next door. Also.. walking out the back of the hotel and along the river there i...
only a 10mins cab ride from the johor bahru city square mall the cab fare was $14rm at the beginning there is no more deluxe room i booked.. and they upgraded to suite for me! and i only book 3hours ago. great efficiency there. once you step into the hotel room the room is very spacious and nice with cute drawings on the wall the tv is just right in front...
Hotel is very nice and very clean. Staff is friendly. Basic amenities are there. Wifi is really good. It is very good value for money. Downside is the poor location. But there are places to eat nearby. Own transportation is required.
a bit noisy, et the ground floor room but it is clean n neat. basic 2-star room. it's good for such a cheap room
We stayed here for our trip to Little big club. Main reason why we picked the hotel was because the reviews said it was close to a lot of restaurants. As Muslims we had a hard time finding food in this area as most are Chinese restaurants and they're most likely to serve non-halal food items. If you're a non Muslim then there are plenty of restaurants and Chinese hawke...
the price is just nice for the budget hotel.near highway.very clean room n very big and clean toilet.very convenience to buy food due to at the corner of the building has mamak restaurant.suprisingly,this hotel provide a breakfast which is pretty impressive.the staff is very nice.thumbs up for this hotel.
+ near a TESCO and walking distance to a big shopping mall with cinema + lots to eat nearby (although a lot is chinese with chinese menus) + very clean and comfortable room + kitchen was well equipped and toilets weren’t bad cleanliness wise either - Don’t book this hotel if you’re looking to explore Johor centre, as it is too far out. - We asked reception about a b...
My family and I enjoyed our 4 nights stay at Hotel Ariana, I will definitely booked my stay with them again in the future. Both the lady counter staffs were very friendly. Sorry did not got their names though.
I reached de hotel at 230am from a long drive from KL, when reached de hotel, the counter informed me that my Agoda booking is not in de system, cannot check-in. I have called Agoda, then Agoda asked call OYO Management, after that OYO Management ask call back to Agoda to confirm and due to de hotel room fully book, OYO Management ask me ask Agoda to arrange me to anot...
It is located in very small town taman baiduri. If you come from the City square in JB central, take the bus 221 and ask the driver to drop you off at Taman baiduri. after you got off, turn left and walk about 5 to 10 mins, you will see the pinky house in the end of the high way on the road. room was nice and clean. stuff were friendly though they do not speak english....

This was my first stay in Hotel Masai Utama. We came on the 13th October as Early at 10am and we are so happy to ger a warm welcoming friendly reception staff there.. The happiest things, eventhough w...
Despite it being easy on the budget, slightly surprised at how worth it i-Hotel was. For the price, I had a nice night in a quiet part of town to rest. The staff were really courteous and obliging and the decor and comfort level of the hotel exceeded my expectations. Definitely in my favourites list if I travel to Johor Bahru again.
Second time staying in the same hotel. Satisfied with the services provided. Hope to stay again if travelling to johor again.
The room and bathroom is very clean. It makes me feel I'm having shower at my home bathroom. Good price, cozy, clean and comfortable with good WiFi. There is place to park your car and it's free. However the surrounding looks quiet especially at night with many shop lots not taken up or business closed permanently. The hotel is in a small, ghost town but it's quite ne...
I had the family room with 3 adults and 2 infants. Though room is small, it has a long bench to put luggages. The hotel/motel is new so it is very clean. It comes with coffee tea facilities and free wifi. It takes about 15 minutes to Legoland and 20 minutes to Johor Premium Outlet. The only thing I think it could do better is to provide a glass panel to its shower room...
Clean Nice owner Near a restaurant
This is a budget hotel that I chose to spent a night before proceeding on to another hotel the following day. Have stayed in several other budget hotels in the area and this is the best by far. The furnishing is quite impressive for a budget hotel - e.g. the lighting in the room, the elevator and the art decor near the lift. It almost feels luxurious for a hotel of thi...

The reason for my trip to Johor this round was solely to shop at Johor premium outlets. The hotel was clean and new, with comfy beds in the rooms. The overall room layout was good with modern furnishings. The restaurant where the breakfast buffet was served is spacious so you feel at relaxed even at full capacity. The buffet spread was good.
Higher crowd this time around but Pulai Springs never failed to deliver. Pleasurable stay & best hotel in Johor.
This hotel is located in the vicinity of Johor Bahru checkpoint. It was known as Lion City Hotel in the past, nowadays it is a boutique hotel consists of approximate 10 to 20 rooms. Hotel room is not spacious but well renovated. It provides basic requirements that travelers need, from toiletries to in room services. Malaysian traditional cuisines are served and differ...
Its the best hotel in Johor. you can find the location is very strategic. for those who wish to enter Singapore without living there, you can check in at this hotel. it is near to the Imigration / Singapore-malaysia bridge if you wish to drive / using public transport. at noght, you can find rows of bar and night clubs around the hotel. the beverages are cheap as it is...

Great place to stay. New hotel. Good breakfast spread. Clean rooms. Spacious rooms, fully carpeted. The family room had a lot of space for the kids to play around. KFC is walking distance away.

pro: 1. we book a premium suite for 3days and 2 night. and we get the exactly room from the photo in agoda. it was huge like u can fit 10 people in it. got kitchen cabinet/pantry where u can put lots of food supply and im satisfied enough. excellent! 2. i love the breakfast! vast and variety! also big applause for that. 3. clean room for sure. room on high floor ...
i was taken aback when i first enter the hotel lobby as it brings one back to the grandness of european style 5 star hotel with high ceiling, lighting and the service at check in is professional and speedy. the room i am staying is renovated to 5 star standard and the view that i was allocated was mountain view and it is scenic from 9th. floor. there is ample parking ...
That was my fourth trip to Lotus Desaru over 3 year period (i.e. since its opening). Good place for family with young children especially those from vicinity area (Johor) who cannot afford travelling long distance due to short holiday. Since no water theme park in Johor area yet, the hotel mini water park and swimming pools become great attraction to the children in...
Hotel is located beside the highway. So if going from Tuas checkpoint, its about 15 minutes drive. Its one exit before Bukit Indah's exit at the Nusa Jaya Medical Centre exit. This hotel, you need to have a car because there is no public transport in any way unless you call for uber cab. Overall our family is very satisfied. The room size is very big and for S$68 per d...
I stayed in a group of 4 all in one room for 3days 2nights. The room is quite big & comfortable enough for us. It comes with 1 king size bed & 1 single bed, so we add in one extra bed. Which the downside is the extra bed are really really thin. We request an additional bed to put on top of it but they said it was unavailable but they gave us an additional comforter. Th...
My family love to stay in this hotel, recommended hotel in johor Perhaps just needed a little bit more variant in the menu for breakfast ( cafe area) Others were excellent and please keep it up especially in the cleaningness matter. Good job for all the staff too
I read the reviews here and wasn't expecting too of my stay. To my surprise, my experience was positive and I came back with beautiful memories. They have a gorgeous swimming pool with surrounding beach chairs, a gym and a massage spa. I had a swim at midnight because the lighting was so inviting, and the bar was playing really nice songs. Enlightens my mood. The act...
Great place to unwind and relax... Do get a high floor and sea view room if you can so that you enjoy a breathtaking view of the Johor Straits and northern shores of Singapore... Lack of amenities and quiet location makes it somewhat inconvenient if you do not drive but otherwise as mentioned, the tranquility of the place make up for its shortcomings... As for staff,...

the hotel grounds are huge and were very nicely decorated. the staff, especially receptionist Nabil, was really nice and kind. we got upgraded too. really enjoyed the stay. it felt like a whole new world in Johor.
As we suddenly decided to stay one more night in Johor so we booked the 3 bedrooms apartment at the very last minute (8.30pm) and we checked in at 10pm . The office was closed but luckily we managed to call the staff and they responded in prompt . The staff came to us within 5 min only and brought us to the apartment .

Thanks Eric and your team. We are so enjoy and felt comfort staying in your villa. Thanks Eric to let us store our food before check in ,and self check in is convenience for us. Strongly recommend Eric's villa to you all. Will choose to stay here if we visit to Desaru again✌✌
We checked in very late but communicated well with Mr Hood who waited patiently to pass us the house keys. Checking out was hassle free too. Location is superb but unfortunately its CNY so KSL mall closed for business. Other than that, we have also feedback Mr Hood few things and he assured us that he will talk to the boss and we do hope the next time we come theres so...
Upon booking for 4 pax, I supposed it should be a 2 bedroom apartment as shown on the booking page, but ended up with a studio apartment with one queen bed and 2 single mattresses. Quite clean except for noticing one small cockroach during the two night stay. Location is very convenient. Suggest to add in a proper dining table set and chairs in the balcony for more c...

The host, CP has kept the unit very clean and the space layout is good and nicely designed; ample for us. The sofa bed was setup for us with pillows and comforter. Although we didn't need the extra blankets and pillows in the closet, it was nice to have as spare. There were also complimentary coffee, milo sachets and mineral water that came in handy; well-thought of th...
Everything is good. Clean and have lot of beds for group or big family. Pic is not the same as shown but the owner is friendly and fast to respond. Only thing no wifi. Unless u ask for it. Will visit again
This is a rare condo unit located above level 30th with excellent view of johor Bahru from the balcony . Great for a group of 4 or 3 friends for a weekend staycation in JB. Ms Julia was very kind to wait for us to checkin, great service. We will come back again. Thank you Julia.
Everything is good.. Worth it!!! 1-Nice environment and cleanliness. 2-great support for any questions while staying, helpful and friendly owner. 3-great location-easy and convenience to get restaurant,massage place and shopping complex.
The locations is fantastic as the residence is inside KSL mall itself. Apartment was clean and comfortable. Owner forgotten to provide the towels, but was very prompt to take action and deliver them quickly. The apartment was on a high floor which was a great view of JB city. The only disappointment was the shower water heater.. there was nearly no heated water at all....
I have booked many hotels with Agoda and they were all great. But this time I was very disappointed. This apartment is owned by a individual who was not very hospitable. The owner did not tell the rules until the apartment was paid for. I requested early check in or late check out and they totally ignored my request not replying me. Secondly I had had someone come to h...
Place is clean, spacious. Not a hotel, just the same like airbnb. If driving, i will advise you to collect your key card first before driving up to the parking lot... there's no access from the parking except walking down the car ramp.
make sure swimming pool always clean.
Kluang Container Hotel is one of the more comfortable hotels in Kluang, with good amenities and guests.
