"Fantastic location and comfortable stay! The location of this hotel is unbeatable—it’s right next to Komtar JBCC and City Square, making shopping and dining incredibly convenient, especially after crossing CIQ. The room was spotless, modern, and quiet with a very comfortable bed. Check-in and check-out were smooth, and the front desk staff were friendly and efficient throughout our stay. The breakfast buffet had a great spread with plenty of variety. Would definitely stay here again on my next...

Top Royal Abu Bakar Museum Hotel Reviews

DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Johor Bahru

8/10 Good

"I booked the corner suite and was very impressed with its overall size, cleanliness, amenities, and comfort. Judging solely by the room, it definitely met five star expectations. Parking was convenient, and I felt much safer knowing that security personnel verified visitor purposes before granting entry. The car park itself is spacious, brightly lit, and very clean. Check in was seamless, and we were welcomed with the signature DoubleTree warm cookie. During our stay, we opted for the breakfast buffet. The variety was extensive, and the food tasted just as good as it looked. Peak breakfast hours were quite busy, meaning certain popular items ran out quickly; restocking could have been a little faster. Nonetheless, it did not dampen my mood since there were plenty of other dishes to enjoy. The only downside was my request for two wine glasses in the evening. After waiting 30 minutes and calling twice, the glasses had still not arrived. Feeling frustrated, I went down to the reception counter personally, where the staff handed them to me after waiting for a while again. It was a minor blemish on an otherwise great stay."

R&F Princess Cove by FUJU & 5mins to ClQ

10/10 Excellent

"I enjoyed my stay, but the one thing I didn’t particularly like was the restriction on visitors. I understand the need for rules and security, but having limitations on visitors can be inconvenient, especially when staying at a Homestay. I hope the management will consider a more flexible visitor policy to make the experience more comfortable and welcoming for guests."

Holiday Inn Express & Suites Johor Bahru by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"The 2-room suite (for 4 of us) was smaller than I expected but is comfortable and clean. The staff at the counter were most supportive, helping us with Touch n go related requests, among others. Location was easy to find, and is accessible without being in a crowded area. Breakfast is moderately good, there were better options on the 2nd day for vegetarians."

Grand Paragon Hotel Johor Bahru

10/10 Excellent

"We love staying at Grand Paragon Hotel and visit almost every month. It is a very child-friendly hotel, which makes it perfect for our family. The rooms are clean and comfortable, the staff are warm and welcoming, and the breakfast has a good variety. The air conditioning is great, and our children always enjoy their stay. It feels like a home away from home for us, and we always look forward to coming back. Highly recommended for families with children! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐"
