Not bad, its very spacious the room. Maybe can like see can have complimentary cake in the fridge cause it’s my birthday that day. Would be nice to have :) The hotel and mall are linked, very accessible. Perhaps the shampoo and conditioner especially conditioner can be better cause it makes my hair dry after using but overall is ok. Good that there are many lights switch buttons as well

Overall experience is pleasant. The property is near the KSL Mall with nearby coffee shops, spa, and other good cafes.
The room is clean and comes with shower foam and shampoo. Worth it.
The counter staff is friendly and helpful to explain the pointers for check in and check out.

Having stayed at Holiday Villa numerous times, I keep returning for one simple reason: consistency. It has become my go-to choice for trips to Johor Bahru, and it continues to deliver a reliable experience.
Why I keep coming back:
Prime Location: Being located directly opposite KSL City Mall is incredibly convenient. You have immediate access to shopping, dining, and the cinema without the need to navigate heavy traffic or deal with long walks.
Hassle-Free Parking: This is a major selling point. Between the ease of self-parking and the convenience of the valet service (at a reasonable RM35), arrival and departure are always stress-free compared to the often chaotic access at the mall side.
Solid Breakfast: The breakfast variety is surprisingly good, with a nice spread that offers a solid start to the day.
A Note on Value:
I am fully aware that the room rates here are generally higher than at KSL Hotel. While it is a bit more of a premium, I find that the extra cost is absolutely justified by the seamless parking experience, the slightly quieter environment, and the overall maintenance of the property.
Verdict:
If you value efficiency, ease of access, and a hassle-free stay, the slight price premium is worth every penny. I will definitely be returning.
Our 4th stay at Opero. We thought the king room was much cleaner than the twin. Got a free drink (roselle tea) redeemable from 3-9pm too. Gym clean as always.

This is my second time staying in Holiday Inn . I love the hotel it has a strategic location in the heart of JB. It is just a walking distance from checkpoints and is located in Komtar.
Able to do lots of shopping previously but due to the renovation that is currently happening in City Square u will need to find another mall to shop nevertheless there are many eateries that u may find in Komtar.
Breakfast was good. Will come back again once city square is ready for operation.
The apartment is big and nice with living room, cooking area, 2 rooms and 2 bathrooms. Very worth for money as the cost is less than a standard hotel room. The facilities are good with nice swimming pool and gym. The security is also high. The link to the R&F mall is great though many shops in R&F still not open. However there are nice cafes and restaurants there. The tv is also good with Netflix and YouTube easily accessible One problem encountered is the air con which seemed to stop after operating for a while.
The receptionists customer service skills is so good it meets the need for me and my family.
The room is so clean and welcoming!
Will come here again for next visit! Thank you!

The location is considered good as it is within 10min walking distance from KsL shopping mall. The view from the room is also nice. The room is quite big with a comfortable bed and large tv with many channels. However the toilet bowl is not very good as gets clogged easily. Overall a comfortable stay.

Room is at the busy road and next to construction site, had difficult time sleeping at night, had to nap in afternoon. Love the powerful hair dryer, wanted to buy one too. Didn't use the washer because it does not have dryer function. Cross the small zebra crossing opposite has local cooked food. Can stay at other rooms but not 17-07 for us due to the noise of busy road whole night motorcycles vroom past, even pillow can still hear the noise and woke up by noise. Windows closed, curtain closed still very loud. Owner is very prompt with messages. Thank you for the clean house.

HHelloRachHad a lovely 3D2N stay at DoubleTree by Hilton Johor Bahru for my husband’s birthday. Great location, comfortable room, good breakfast spread, and well-maintained facilities. Most importantly, the staff were friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcomed throughout our stay.
Overall, a pleasant and memorable experience. Would definitely return when visiting JB again.

GGuest UserThe kids had an absolute blast, totally worth it! This is my second time booking this hotel, and if I ever go to Johor Bahru again, I'll definitely stay here. Super satisfied!
HHappySoulThe outlook of the hotel looks great but the inside the room not so favorable.
There was blood stain on bedsheet, and aircon one moment warm, one moment super cold … not sure what to think of it 🥲
The bed, not so comfortable to sleep on and very low level, for elderly not really good for them
Room size is small and a little squeeze for 2 persons. The bathroom lights are too dim
Breakfast wise, not so fantastic. Would recommend eat out since near by have many eatery options

Nnur hafidzi have nothing bad to say, this is definitely 1 of the best hotel apartment i have ever stayed. my youngest son doesn't want to leave the hotel. he cried and ran back to the lift lobby asking to go back to the hotel room when we had already checked out. great for families, breakfast was ok , quite good, the room excellent, pool was nice and cold. definitely coming back here.
GGuest UserHad a wonderful stay at R&F Princess Cove. The unit was clean, modern, and very comfortable, with a cozy atmosphere and tasteful interior design. I especially loved the warm lighting, spacious layout, and relaxing pool area with a great city view. The location was convenient, and the overall environment felt safe and peaceful. Perfect for a short getaway or staycation — would definitely come back again!
GGuest UserA great stay at Four Points Desaru. In terms of location, there are many useful shops located around the hotel like a supermarket, 24 hour minimart, pharmacy, bakery and even a floral/gift shop which I was able to surprise my partner with a bouquet. The service was also top notch with friendly staff and excellent housekeeping. Room was also clean and comfortable as expected. The breakfast buffet was very worth it with a large spread of food and all of it was delicious! Check out the amazing view too.
The only qualm for me would be the TV which did not come with ‘smart’ functions. At this price point I would have expected a smart TV, but not very relevant as most of our time was spent outside the hotel too. Overall a very pleasant stay and my hotel of choice when I go back to Desaru again
QQuiet Miles | Solo Travel After 50We recently stayed at Sunway Grid Loft Suite by Nest Home and found it to be a good option for families and larger groups visiting Johor.
The unit was clean upon arrival and the check-in instructions were clear and easy to follow. As this is a residential apartment rather than a traditional hotel, the self check-in process was straightforward and hassle-free.
One of the biggest advantages of the unit is its size. The loft comes with three queen beds and one sofa bed, making it suitable for larger families or groups who prefer staying together instead of booking multiple hotel rooms. The loft design also helps the apartment feel spacious and comfortable.
The unit includes a kitchen, living area, swimming pool access and gym facilities, which add to the overall convenience of the stay. The residential setting offers a quieter atmosphere compared to many hotels.
Check-in was at 3:00 PM and check-out was at 12:00 PM, which provided a relaxed departure experience.
Overall, Sunway Grid Loft Suite by Nest Home offers good value for families and groups looking for a spacious accommodation option in Johor. The combination of multiple beds, useful facilities and a clean, well-maintained environment made for a comfortable stay.
AAnonymous UserThe room was in a great location and was beautifully decorated with a very nice design. Each bedroom had its own air conditioner and fan, which really helped with the heat in JB. Wi-Fi was provided, and the unit was also equipped with a microwave, water dispenser, and washing machine, making the stay very comfortable and convenient.
One thing to note is that if you’re staying in the master bedroom, the Wi-Fi signal is quite weak as the router seems to be too far away. We ended up using our mobile data most of the time instead.
Some feedback for the owner:
1. Provide more keys/access cards
Since the unit can accommodate up to 6 guests, it is likely to attract larger groups. I stayed with my family of four, and having only one key was quite inconvenient. My parents wanted to return to the room to rest, while my brother and I wanted to meet friends at different locations. However, because the key is required to access the lift, we were unable to split up freely. If one person had the key, everyone else would either need to coordinate their return timing or be unable to access the building independently. Additional keys or access cards would make a big difference for larger groups.
2. Install shower curtains and hooks in the bathrooms
There were no hooks available to hang clothes while showering. As a result, I had to place my dirty clothes on the toilet bowl and my clean clothes on the sink ledge. However, because there was no shower curtain, water splashed throughout the bathroom and even reached the toilet bowl area, causing my clothes to get wet. At the very least, installing a hook behind the bathroom door would help guests keep their clothes dry and off bathroom surfaces.
3. Place air fresheners in the bathrooms
Both bathrooms had a fairly strong sewage smell. Fortunately, keeping the bathroom doors closed prevented the smell from spreading into the bedrooms. However, when using the bathrooms, the odour could be quite overwhelming until shower products such as shampoo helped mask it. Adding air fresheners would greatly improve the bathroom experience.
Overall, we had a great time and would likely book again when we are back.

TTyng WongThis hotel is great! There's a food court right downstairs, and they even sell durians and coconut water. Plus, the famous Bridge Bottom Wanton Noodles is open late. The hotel parking lot isn't huge, but there are always enough spots. It's also super convenient for getting to Sutera, only about a 5-8 minute drive. I even called the front desk around midnight to ask for a pillowcase change, and someone came to help us in about 5 minutes. Talk about efficiency! I'll definitely stay here again; it's so convenient for getting around.
