4-Star Hotels in Johor, Malaysia

Drove down from Kuala Lumpur to Johor Bahru for the weekend and, based on reviews, I chose the DoubleTree, which seemed like a safe bet. The hotel security, front desk staff, and everyone else were all quite friendly. Check-in at the front desk was pretty quick. I booked the most basic room; the facilities and layout aren't new, but it was still relatively clean and tidy, and well-maintained. The hotel breakfast looked like it had a lot of variety, but the quality was just average. For two days straight, I mainly ate the roti canai with dipping sauce – that was actually quite tasty. The noodle soup, salads, and other items were all pretty standard, but enough to fill you up. The hotel isn't far from the immigration checkpoint, so the location is quite good. The surrounding area is a bit messy due to ongoing construction, but once it's finished, it'll be very convenient for trips to Singapore.

Positive Feedback 1. Location was superb, easy access to the mall. 2. Room is fully equipped with induction hob, microwave, fridge, kettle, dining plates, utensils, mugs, iron and iron board . 3. Room is spacious, bedroom, living room and dining room. Negative Feedback: 1. Staff at the counter should be trained with customer service. No greetings nor smile during check-in. 2. Toilet has very bad smell. The edge of the shower room is slimy, probably not cleaned properly. 3 Deodorants were supplied in both the toilet as well as the bedroom but unfortunately all of them were empty (see pictures) 5. Toilet ventilation vent is dusty and drop of dusts occasionally fell onto us or the wash basin. 6. The iron provided isn’t safe for use as wires are exposed which is a SAFETY HAZARD (see picture). Someone might get electrocuted. 7. TV was provided but no ‘Live TV’ available as it always showed ‘No Signal’ (see picture). 8. ‘House Rules’ indicate ‘No eating and drinking in the room’ but the room is fully equipped with the dining cutleries/utensils and cooking equipment (see picture). So, is eating and drinking allowed? 9. In the bedroom, there is this thing hanging directly above the bed. Not sure what it is but, to me, it’s of no use. We will definitely stay here again because of the location and the spacious room. If the negative feedback can be addressed, it would be a bonus.

The checkin super easy , in the same apt complex just different tower. The instructions from host for check in and parking very clear. Apartment is great for young kids with slide and play area. Beds are comfortable. Master bedroom is spacious. Kitchen is equipped for simple cooking. The apt is less 5 min drive to legoland. There's red ants issue in one of the bedrooms but the service came quickly to get rid of it and changed the bedding. Occasionally the toilet smells of sewage which i think need to be solved by the building maintainance. Just these 2 issues that should be looked into by NEST home to make the place perfect.

Stayed here for a business trip. It's a standard business hotel – standard facilities, standard service, standard rooms. Nothing amazing, but nothing bad either. However, the room I stayed in had a really loud AC unit outside, and the bathroom had a bit of an odor, which was a letdown. Everything else was just okay.

We recently completed a 3-night stay in August at St. Giles Southkey Johor Bahru, and overall, it was a very enjoyable experience. If you are looking for a comfortable, convenient base in JB that offers great value without breaking the bank, this hotel is a solid choice. The Highlights: Impeccable Service: The staff were truly excellent throughout our stay. They were polite, attentive, and very prompt in assisting with all of our requests. Family-Friendly: Traveling with a little one can be tricky, but the hotel kindly provided a complimentary baby cot, which made our stay so much easier and more comfortable. Room Quality: The room was spotless, well-maintained, and provided a great night’s rest after a long day of exploring. Areas for Improvement: Lobby Fragrance: The scent/fragrance used in the main lobby was quite overpowering. It hits you right when you walk in and could be toned down a bit for a more pleasant arrival experience. Breakfast Spread: While there was a wide variety of food options available, several hot dishes were lukewarm or cold, which unfortunately took away from the taste and overall breakfast experience. Verdict: Despite the minor hiccups with breakfast and the lobby scent, the cleanliness, fantastic service, and sheer convenience make St. Giles a great value-for-money option in Johor Bahru. Would definitely consider staying here again!

I had a really pleasant and comfortable stay at Ramada Hotel Johor Bahru, especially in the East Wing room. The room was spacious, clean, and well-maintained, with a cozy and relaxing atmosphere that made it easy to unwind after a long day. Everything was neatly arranged, and the bed was very comfortable, giving me a good night’s rest throughout my stay. What I appreciated the most was the overall cleanliness and attention to detail in the room. The facilities were in good condition, and everything felt well taken care of. The hotel environment itself was calm and welcoming, which added to the whole experience. The staff were also friendly, polite, and helpful whenever needed, making the stay even more enjoyable. Service was smooth from check-in to check-out, which I really value when staying at a hotel. Overall, I would say Ramada Hotel Johor Bahru is a great choice for anyone looking for a comfortable and hassle-free stay in Johor Bahru. The East Wing room in particular is definitely worth it. I would happily come back again and recommend it to others.

The location is a short walk from rnf mall however if you have elderly, it may not be convenient as you need to cross the road on 1st day to check in. Saw the overhead bridge but the guard said need access card first. Since we hadn't got access card, need to walk across and along a stretch of road to reach the block. After that, we took grab all the time as elderly may not be able to walk too long and on slopes. Condo was nice, but rubbish area may need to be more clean. We could smell it along the corridor. The door chain lock was spoilt. 2 doors at front entrance, inside the unit was quite clean and meet our needs. Can do light cooking saw pan. Microwave, kettle and cutlery etc. Rooms were quite clean but toilets had some smell, brought toilet spray. Mosquitoes are common, pls bring insect repellent too even in unit. Every room has aircon so it's OK. Living room is nice with nice view from balcony seeing the sea and boats! Overall gd experience but don't expect it to be like hotel. It's Airbnb. Swimming was noisy with kids, gym was busy too. We didn't swim or use gym but we walked around on viewing deck to watch boats.

My overall stay was just okay. The location is definitely a big plus, being right next to SKS Mall makes finding food and shopping incredibly convenient. The hotel restaurant also has live music performances starting at 8 PM. However, during my stay, I encountered an issue where my room door lock malfunctioned and I couldn't open the door. I had to go back and forth to the front desk twice, and it took over twenty minutes to get it resolved. This really dampened my experience.

We 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.

Third time staying at opero. Hiccups in the assigned room initially but customer service was good. Thabks for the hospitality and we love the welcome drink and flo pool..Will visit again if going to shop at midvalley southkey.
