Atelier Hotel Johor Bahru

8/10 Good

"Location is quite convenient. Near to eateries and massage places. Cleanliness of the property could have been better. There is a morning market on Mondays. The property is along a busy street. Can be noisy in the mornings."

Grand Paragon Hotel Johor Bahru

8/10 Good

"We check in around 9.30 pm without much delay. We put a RM$100 deposit which is returned on our check out. From the window in our room, we can see the KSL city mall. Aircon and shower are good. The room is clean and bed is comfortable. My only gripe is the small space at the wash basin."

Holiday Inn Johor Bahru City Centre by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Good location although it was quite hard to drive up to the 7th floor and locate where to park at the hotel. Great room service. We liked the rooms and it was convenient and accessible to Komtar jbcc. Booked the executive king rooms and we were pleasantly surprised that it came with complimentary food/wine or mini high tea set at the lounge and daily complimentary mini bar & fridge items. The breakfast buffet was good too and worth the price. Will definitely recommend :)"

Capri by Fraser Johor Bahru

10/10 Excellent

"11/10 experience! From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel genuinely welcomed with their exceptional hospitality and attention to detail. The room was spotless, beautifully designed, and incredibly comfortable, with everything we needed for a relaxing stay. The bed was amazingly comfortable, and the amenities exceeded our expectations. The hotel's location was perfect, making it easy to explore the surrounding area while still enjoying a peaceful atmosphere. Every member of the team went above and beyond to ensure we had a memorable stay, always greeting us with a smile and offering assistance whenever needed. We can't wait to return and will happily recommend it to family and friends. We did return on 11 July) Thank you for making our trip so special!"
