Hotels With Breakfast in Johor, Malaysia

This time, the air conditioning in the room wasn’t as cool as during my previous stay. It might be due to energy-saving measures, but it did affect the overall comfort. I contacted maintenance on the first night as the room felt warm at 25°C. After servicing, the temperature improved to 23°C. However, it gradually increased again — 24°C the next day and back to 25°C on the day before check-out. With the current humid and warm weather, I hope the air-conditioning system can be better maintained to ensure a more comfortable stay for guests. Other than the air-conditioning issue, I really enjoyed the location. It’s very convenient, with massage services, food options, pedicure, and hair treatments all located just next to the hotel, which made the stay much more enjoyable.

We recently stayed at St. Giles Southkey Johor Bahru for four nights. The hotel is very popular, largely because it is directly connected to Mid Valley Southkey Mall, making shopping and dining extremely convenient. Breakfast can get quite busy and crowded, especially during peak hours. However, if you prefer a quieter experience, it’s better to go during the last 45 minutes before breakfast closes. The staff were efficient in replenishing food items promptly, even when demand was high. There were five coffee machines available, which helped to manage the crowd well and kept waiting times reasonable. The overall buffet spread was average—not exceptional, but sufficient. Housekeeping was satisfactory, with rooms maintained to a decent standard throughout the stay. One downside is the check-in time, which is after 3pm. This is slightly later than the typical industry standard in Malaysia and may be inconvenient for some travelers. Overall, it’s a solid and convenient hotel choice.

2nd stay and loving each stay as smooth self-checking in and self-check out. After confirmation, sent details to number provided and collect key card at e locker upon arrival. Videos and location to collect key card provided after booking confirmed. Asked for an early check in. Easy access to eateries, a mall opposite, mini marts below. Gym and pool at level 8. Clean, quiet and great for a short get away. Perfect for solo traveler, business trip, families and couples who wants some quiet holiday.

First time here and absolutely love the hotel Very clean and great stuff The rooms were a little small but overall still very good Just 5 mins walk to mid valley mall Breakfast was one of the best I’ve tried in Jb. Had so much of choices. And very nice too Hotel delivered the request I put I Will definitely go again Very happy

Mixed Experience – Good Service Recovery but Initial Handling Could Be Better I recently stayed at Holiday Villa Johor Bahru City Centre and had a mixed experience. For the first two nights, we suspected the room was not properly cleaned as both my husband and I experienced continuous sneezing throughout the stay. I reported this to the front desk after the first night, but no action was taken or escalated. Unfortunately, we had to endure a second uncomfortable night before I raised the issue again to the duty manager. I must commend the duty manager for her prompt and decisive action — she arranged an immediate room change, which made a significant difference. This level of service recovery was appreciated. However, it is unclear why the initial concern was not escalated earlier by the front desk, which could have prevented unnecessary discomfort. On a positive note, when I fell sick during the stay, the front desk staff were thoughtful enough to send porridge and warm water to my room — a kind gesture that I truly appreciated. The hotel’s location is very convenient, and the breakfast selection varies daily, which is a plus. A special mention to the egg station staff — they were consistently friendly and attentive, handling every request with a smile even during busy periods. Check-out was smooth and efficient. Overall, while there were some lapses in initial handling, the service recovery and certain staff members’ efforts stood out.

The room is very nice. We like that we can cast from our phone. The check in was delayed by 2 hours. The staff was very helpful. He gave us all complimentary breakfast. But the breakfast was bad. Too much processed food - chicken nuggets, ham ,etc. too much sugar - donuts, soya milk was too sweet, fruit drinks were too sweet, except for the fresh orange, cucumber and pineapple juice. Those were great. It's definitely not worth the price for our family. St Giles, Opero, Holiday Inn Express at Komptar, Hilton all have better and healthier breakfast. The swimming pool has too many sharp corners near the children area.

The hotel's location is great, with plenty of food options nearby, and they even accept WeChat Pay, which is very convenient for Chinese travelers. The room was clean, and the air conditioning worked perfectly. Breakfast used to be a buffet, but for some reason, it's now à la carte. I tried to ask why, but they didn't seem to understand. In the end, they made me a plate, and it tasted pretty good.

First time staying at Sunway Hotel Big Box, as my husband was playing golf at Senibong. We booked a Deluxe Twin Room (assigned on the 4th floor), which was nice, spacious, and clean. The air conditioning was powerful too. ”Kashmi” from reservations was very helpful in accommodating my requests. However, at night, you could hear loud music from the pub by the pool until 11pm. Also, around 2am in the middle of the night, we could hear water dripping from the air conditioner, which affected our sleep. We really loved the cozy and peaceful environment around the hotel, especially the Dona Bakery Cafe. Their pastries were delicious! We also tried the LS Chinese restaurant, which was just so-so. Nevertheless, if you need a short getaway, this is the place for you.

5mins walk to CIQ. Komta shopping mall is just opposite the hotel. Taking grab from hotel is easy. Hotel room is facing Komta shopping mall is abit noisy as there is a pub beside the hotel. Live band singing is very loud and did not stop until 12 midnight. You can’t take a quick shower as you need to have patience to adjust the hot/cold tap to the right temperature otherwise you may get “burnt” from the hot water. We managed the water technique as we stayed the hotel for 2 nights. Hotel bed is comfy and the staff is very nice and helpful.

The location of the hotel is superb. Opposite JB City Square and 5mins away from CIQ. Convenience for those that want to stay near CIQ. Connected to 2 malls. Private car park. Do take note that the car park a bit narrow so be careful. Breakfast varieties considered average, free for kids under the ages of 12. The only they lacking of is their lifts. The lifts always got problem. This time round stuck inside at least 5mins. Not able to go up to our floor although floor level had been pressed. Hopefully they able to rectify the lifts so that everything going smooth.
