Latest booking 15 hrs ago

Room Number: 1128, 1129 Pros: - nice sea view - comfortable bed - separate bathtub and shower area - Huge pool (feels like a resort, with slide for children so very family friendly) - decent size gym - breakfast buffet had decent variety and taste (very value for money given cost of room) - staff were friendly and proactive Cons - Room shows serious signs of ageing. Even though could see that it was refurbished, things still look like they are falling apart - not sure if it’s just my room, but tv channels come and go. Sometimes it’s working and sometimes it’s not. Limited channels as well. - pillow was way too soft - My King size bed was actually two super single beds put together. - Only bath towels provided and it was very worn. No other towels provided. - Not really baby friendly as there hotel does not have baby shower tub. Thankfully room comes with a bath tub - sound insulation pretty bad. Could hear sounds from the corridor

Nice hotel. Room is bright and great location. But isn’t super clean. Hair and powder found on bed. Amenities don’t have cotton pad. Hair found in packaged earbud. Breakfast was pretty good as attached. Will stay again if price is reasonable. Without discounts it’s not worth it.

We had an early checked in for 1 room & got another slightly after 3pm. So we got to recharge ourselves & our kids had a great time in the bathtub. We had an extraordinary assistant by Mr Hafizi (receptionist) when we were having trouble in our grab food delivery. Breakfast buffet was delicious. If only can have more variety like roti canai, tosai, mee soto, laksa, chicken rice. Valet parking was excellent. Security did a great job. Keep it up. But should have standardised sheltered valet parking. Sheltered & non sheltered valet parking carry different prices. Main entrance to the lobby should have a ramp or slope to ease up the luggages movements. Gym doesn’t have treadmills, just heavy weights. Overall, nice place to stay in & safe for our family too. Thank you for having us. Will patronise again in the near future.

We been here for few times. This time when we checked in, we met Receptionist name, Ms Nor Ashikin. She's grumpy, not friendly and has no eye contact. When we ask questions she didn't give eye contact. We wanna to inform her that we book 2 different booking, one with Trip.com and the other booking is directly to the hotel, due to rooms available at trip.com. Through our explanation, she didn't give us any eye contact. We have to ask again what we need to do. With her eyes looking at the screen, she told us tomorrow come down again with the key. That's all, so the next day we meet Ms Natasha, she was so friendly and helpful. We found out that Ms Nor Ashikin missed out our requirements. Ms Natasha helped us up. For Ms Natasha I will give 5 star but for Nor Ashikin, I'll give one star. Overall we love our stay here and will definitely come back but we hope we won't come across Ms Nor Ashikin. Not only to us, she was very hostile towards other guests too. The management needs to do something about her hostile attitude towards the Guest especially.

You can walk to CIQ but takes around 8-10 minutes. Not covered. There's a swimming pool but according to my kids, it's very cold swimming in it, not sure if it's the current weather. So they are not ecstatic about it unlike other hotels we have been thru. The pool is not that clean either. But the gym is top notch. Breakfast top as well. The room is great and warm cookies were provided during check in. The hotel team gave my daughter a small cake for her birthday upon request. Kudos! Free AC charger (I got around 2.7kW) for EV car (6hrs) The good stuff definitely overshadows the minor weaknesses.

Suasana All Suites Hotel

Ambiance/Facilities - kitchen amenties in room, Pool, Gym Highlights - Large clean apartment with Amenities Avg. Price/night - S$45! Rating - This was our 2nd stay after 3 years of COVID. The one bedroom apartment was maintained just the way we last stayed: Spacious living area with l-shaped couch and basic kitchen amenties, comfy cosy bedroom with shower. Entire apartment was clean and really nothing to nit-pick about! On 33A level there's clean swimming pool overlooking City Square mall and its vicinity, as well as gym(a few machines was faulty though and cannot be utilised). Lots of food choices across street to Komtar jbcc or City Square. Overall a superb enjoyable stay and highly recommended to family, couples irregardless given its slim Priceline(we booked ours at $45/night)!

Fives Hotel Johor Bahru City Centre

City center of Johor Bahru Johor Bahru|1.3km from Johor Zoo

Latest booking 16 hrs ago

Location is fantastic, just behind Komtar. Some of the reviews here from others are true. Can be a bit noisy if you are particular on this, but is acceptable for me. Wash basin drainage flow is slightly slow. Shower water is not warm enough. Aircon blows directly towards bed, but can be adjusted so that it does not blow on your face when you sleep. Cleanliness can be slightly better. Saw the review by others so I checked under the bed too (usually I don't do that) and indeed found some rubbish underneath. Room is rather small if you have a large luggage, but is ok for us with only a backpack. Would come back considering the location and price.

Consistent with brand standards, bulk-size amenities are provided here at the Holiday Inn Johor Bahru City Centre and while I do appreciate the positive impact these initiatives have on the environment, the body wash bottles located by the shower area were empty when I checked-in to the room. The opaque bottles definitely make it hard for housekeeping to check whether a top-up is required so this is quite certainly a pain point for everyone. Affordable and modern rooms in a great location make Holiday Inn Johor Bahru City Centre a great choice for travellers from Singapore without private transport.

Our first time here. Room size was okay but standing shower was too small for plus size like me 😬 There's no iron and ironing board in the room. Only one sachet of coffee and longan tea given plus two bottles of water. Location was very convenient. Very good customer service from doormen to housekeeping staff. Good job. We will be back again.

First of all, the hotel is brand new. The hotel is very close to the JB city centre yet located in a very quiet surroundings. Secured indoor parking. The 2 Bedroom Suite is definitely worth every penny...extremely generous in space, a very functional kitchen, spacious dining area and living room. Would definitely come back with family & kids as they have a nice kids pool at level 5 with nice view of Johor straits & also Singapore!

Highly recommend. I have a high standard of cleanliness and this suite easily passed the mark. I walked on barefoot and no stain! It’s even cleaner than a 5-star hotel. Pillow, bedsheet are all clean. It’s a serviced apartment type and so no meal is provided but city square is within 5 minutes.

Stayed in superior queen room for two nights. Big receptionist at checkin was unfriendly and charged me RM10 more than stated from booking which is pennies but more for the principle. Room was relatively clean. Safe provided did not work. Kettle available in room. The Wi-Fi was spotty. The door separating neighbor provides no sound proof also can hear what goes on in hallway. A/C works well, no place to hang clothes, few channels tv, stained bed sheets, rainfall shower head only trickles, water temperature was difficult to calibrate, either scalding hot or cold.

I'll be back!

Frequently Asked Questions

More about Johor Bahru

Introduction to Johor

Johor, Malaysia's southernmost state, known for its vibrant cities, pristine nature, and unique cultural heritage. Just a causeway away from Singapore, Johor offers a rich tapestry of experiences, from exciting theme parks and historic sites to delectable local cuisine. As one of the fastest-growing states in Malaysia, Johor is a reflection of modern progression whilst preserving its cultural roots.

Tips about Travelling to Johor

Senai International Airport serves as the main gateway to Johor, with direct flights from various parts of Asia. For travellers from Singapore, the Causeway Link bus service offers a convenient way to cross the border.

Malaysia's official currency, the Ringgit, is used in Johor, with credit cards accepted in most establishments. Bahasa Malaysia is the official language, but English is widely spoken, particularly in urban and tourist areas.

Always check with the nearest Malaysian embassy or consulate for visa requirements. Many countries are granted visa-free entry for tourism purposes.

Johor is a predominantly Muslim state; thus, modest attire is recommended, particularly when visiting religious or cultural sites.

Weather and Best Time to Visit

Johor experiences a tropical rainforest climate, with temperatures ranging from 23°C to 32°C all year round.
