"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.

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! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐"

"The bunks are built into the walls and very sturdy. The mattress is asian firm, with a thick duvet which is useful as the AC is strong. The bunk also has a privacy curtain, a private light and an electrical socket. There were also 2 USB socket, but they were broken. There's a locker under the bed, which could fit my small backpack and a small suitcase. You'll need a padlock though. There were separate bathrooms for boys and girls. The boys shared bathroom had shower rooms and combined toilet/shower rooms. The wooden doors to the showers are suffering from rot, while the shower walls have signs of mould. There's also no air conditioning, so it gets hot and sweaty after a shower. A hair dryer was provided in the showers. The hotel is close to the main sights of Johor Bahru. All of these were with in easy walking distance: the Old Temple of Johor Bahru; Skyscape; JB Sentral and City Square. There's also a restaurant on the ground floor of the hotel and a cafe next door. Other than the bathroom condition, the only thing I didn't like were the unfriendly the staff. They're not particularly happy or welcoming. Otherwise, I was happy with the stay as the bunks are clean and comfortable. That's all I needed for a 1 day visit to the city"
