Johor Bahru hotels & places to stay

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.

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.

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.

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!

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

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.

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

I use this hotel since 2012 several times every year. Right now I spent five days and I have 25 (twenty five) days to go. Excellent service as always. Comparing with NOVOTEL Terminal 3 CDG airport France, Hilton Gardens in Gainesville Florida, HILTON in Saint John, NB Canada and Grand Bluewave in Johor Bahru Malaysia, Berjaya Hotel is heavily underrated with four stars.

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. We stayed here for our legoland trip. Legoland is about 15mins drive away. The room service menu was actually quite good. We ordered room service every night instead of going out because it was more comfortable since there was a small kitchenette to enjoy our meals and the prices were about the same as the restaurants nearby. We had a good view of Johor from our room too. The only negative point i would like to stress here is that, this hotel has a great pool but does not have a single place to hang wet clothes in the bath room. We only had the option to hang our towels on the shower glass door and stack our swimsuits on the sink. We hope the hotel management could just add some towel racks on their walls and V8 Hotel would be a 10/10 in my books!

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, they are friendly, courteous and helpful... Facilities wise, I gave it a 3-star cause as many reviewers had earlier mentioned, the pool is really dirty. No doubt it is no fault of the hotel (dust carried by all the construction works taking place) but it definitely dampens the mood of guests when you have such a fantastic sea-facing pool but cannot use it. Hotel management should proactively work on coming up with a solution for this...

My wife and I spent two nights here for a weekend getaway. The accommodations were very comfortable. The view of the golf course was spectacular. Days were cloudy and cool (for Malaysia), so we enjoyed the balcony quite a bit. Pool was well-kept and clean. Bowling alley was a bit run-down, but our staff person was helpful when the ball got stuck several times. Food via room service was tasty and served quickly. Fruit platter was a great deal at RM 11 for a large one. Spa services were also very good.

If you are travelling with kids, they will be happy as the master bathroom equipped with bathtub (my kids is so into this), hypptv full of channels (movies, cartoons), the house is also quite spacious. The Legoland is just 7 min walking distance from the apartment. The apartment also situated just beside the Medini Mall that have many outlets (food, sportsware, mini mart). i'll surely repeat staying here if we are going to Legoland again. Worth it

Pros: it was really amazing to see the kids go on the pony ride as they really enjoyed it. There is a stable there with many horses and it was a great time getting to know more about horses. I was pleased with the horse riding lesson given for my Son as well. It was really worthy. Though initially I was upset with the wifi not being fast or at times not able to get it, eventually I came to understand that this wifi-less moments got me to enjoy the nature and the time spent with my kids were more meaningful. Oh yes! There is a mini Swimming pool as well. Great place for kids. Thanks for letting us check out late as well. We are planning to come back! :) Con: the safe could have been fixed. However the room 27 happened to be the only one which had problem with the safe. And we were in there.
