"The location is great. It is just 15min from JB CIQ. There are many food options and Jaya Grocer is available for other needs. Staff are extremely friendly and helpful. The room is extremely comfortable with lots of amenities. Main complaint is the noise. I stayed on the 13rd floor on Friday and Saturday. The motorcycle noise from the road (apartment facing a major road) is unbearable. It continued until 2 to 3am on both night. I initally thought there was a F1 bike race but it is just heavy...

"The room is in excellent condition."

Sheraton Johor Bahru

"Everything was great, except that the room type had a connecting room. The soundproof was not that great as we had guest on the other room. It wasn’t bad but do take note that if you are sensitive to noise you could hear some noise next door."

DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Johor Bahru

8/10 Good

"Free parking, staff service excellent. Surrounding hotel under construction so location messy not so nice"

Holiday Inn Johor Bahru City Centre by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Just next to CIQ. Will be glad that you are so close to the customs and can just dump the bag before going to shop in KSL or Southkey. In July 2026 the City Square is undergoing renovations so there is not much to shop so take note of that. Everything should be back to normal when the new MRT station opens that links to Singapore. The hotel is modern, new and very welcoming. Did not have breakfast at the hotel but went to the old town to have my nasi lemak and hainanese coffee."

Suasana JB Central by TPL

10/10 Excellent

"Breakfast at level 34 was nice. highest cafe in all of JB"
