Hotels With Bar in Johor, Malaysia

It’s was a very last minute decision to made a 2days 1 night stay at KSL resort hotel because I wanted to do some CNY shopping & also do my medi & pedi cure and also a foot massage , so KSL was the post location to do all this within the same place , I was given a room on the 24th floor with bathtub and a king size bed , nice view & clean room , what more can I ask for 🤭they even let me check in early at 12noon instead of 3pm , lots of nice food around KSL & I’m sure to booked this hotel again because of its location and clean nice room.

The room was very clean and spacious, with two bedrooms and two bathrooms, and the beds were very comfortable. Toiletries were provided, so you wouldn't need to bring your own unless you have very specific requirements. One highlight was the excellent view from the sea-view room. You could see the customs checkpoint where cars lined up in long queues at night, resembling a winding, fiery dragon. The apartment has a kitchen with basic cooking utensils. If you're staying for a while and want to cook, you can just buy some seasonings and start right away. The kitchen's balcony has a washing machine with a drying function, and there's an iron in the room. The large balcony also features a retractable clothes rack, which is very convenient. A TV is also provided in the room. Another thing worth mentioning is the beautiful complex itself, which has a rubber track. Taking a stroll in the evening with the sea breeze was very pleasant. There's a skybridge connecting the complex to a shopping mall, so dining isn't an issue. The mall also has a supermarket, making it convenient for groceries. If you plan to go to Singapore, you can simply follow the signs through the skybridge to the mall and then directly to JB Central. From there, it's a 5-minute train ride straight to Singapore. This place is suitable for young travelers, family vacations, or even seniors looking for a long-term stay.

This is my second time staying at this hotel, and I'm still very satisfied. The service quality is consistently good, and the breakfast selection is quite rich. It offers great value for money. Its biggest advantage is being right next to KSL shopping mall, making dining, shopping, massages, and other entertainment super convenient. Plus, there are plenty of street-side shops around, so it's incredibly easy to grab bak kut teh or durian. I'll probably stay here again next time I visit.

This is not my first stay at St. Giles Southkey Johor, and it remains one of my favourite hotels in Johor. Once again, it was a pleasant and comfortable experience. The online customer service was very helpful, which I truly appreciate. However, I feel that the breakfast buffet could use some changes, as the selection has been the same for quite some time and can feel a little repetitive. Overall, I still enjoy staying here and would return again.

Offers a modern, comfortable living environment with spacious layouts and resort-style facilities. Connected to amenities, malls, and transport options. Security is reliable, and the landscaped areas create a pleasant atmosphere for families. Overall, it’s a well-designed development that balances lifestyle, convenience, and value for residents.

We’ve stayed here previously but this is the worst 2-nights stay in the old wing of Grand Paragon! The housekeeping staff did not clean the dusty fabric headboard which I had to do so with it’s layers of dust. There were missing glass tumbler, slippers, tissue paper & the safe-box was locked, too.  The shower curtains were too short so water tends to spill out. We were given 1 extra pillow when we requested for extra 2 pillows as it was too flat. Their excuse was that it was the hotel’s policy even though the hotel was half empty! Housekeeping did not clean our room even with the Clean-up sign on our door on the 2nd day. Reception was informed of it in the evening when we came back to our room. They had the audacity to say that we were going to check-out the next day (3rd day), anyway! We had 2 full dust-bin of rubbish, no shampoo, bath gel, bath towels, hand towels, wc paper, etc & we desperately needed to take a shower. Eventually Housekeeping brought the items & meekly apologise that he was the Evening Shift staff. We understood his situation, thank & tip him for his assistance. The next day, we tried the gym. It’s windows had dust streaks & were very dirty, too. Some of the exercising seats were cracked & uncomfortable. Breakfast was nice at the cafe with freshly ground coffee, Nasi lemak, noodles & fresh bread. Avoid the ones in the coffee/tea pots as it’s diluted and tasted unfresh. The staff were quite friendly. Stay here, if you can over-look this dirty environment.

The staff and the level of service was excellent but the property clearly needs some further investment to match the quality of the service the staff give. All were polite, courteous, friendly and helpful This is a massive hotel with amazing facilities that just requires a little more strategic planning for maintenance and support from the group to the management. The location and opportunities that will arise from further investment, particularly the closeness of international borders, should be re-visited by the group owners following the pandemic. This would be with the forthcoming Singapore MRT expanding into Malaysia in the next couple of years. Overall, a pleasant place to stay.

This hotel is incredibly close to JB Sentral. After clearing customs, you just follow the overhead bridge, walk through JBCC shopping mall, and it's right across the street. Do note that the ground floor is just for the concierge and luggage storage; the front desk is on the 6th floor. It's surrounded by JBCC and City Square, and popular spots like Hua Yang Kopitiam, Ming Ang Confectionery, and Mr. Sotong are all nearby – you'll have no trouble finding places to eat and shop. The hotel is also within walking distance of the old railway station, Johor Ancient Temple, Indian Temple, Tan Hiok Nee Cultural Street, and Arulmigu Sri Rajakaliamman Glass Temple. The guys at the front desk and concierge are all polite and enthusiastic. The room is spacious and comfortable, power outlets work, and there's even a kettle! 🥰 I genuinely recommend it!

Location is good. Indian lady at the front desk was quite unfriendly and not service orientated. The other Indian guy was much better. Room is big but the floor is quite sticky. Feels abit dirty and uncomfortable to let our 1 year old crawl on the floor. The room aircon is also noisy. Soundproofing is also quite bad as can hear upstairs dragging chairs and opening doors. Overall ok for non picky travellers as the location is good.

Upon arrival, the hotel made a decent first impression. Parking was a bit cramped, but the front desk service was excellent and efficient, and we didn't have to wait long for the elevator. However, the room's cleanliness was a major issue. The headboard had a lot of white dust, the pillowcase contained black hair, and the sheets had black marks and more hair. The bathtub was cracked, which scratched my toes, and definitely needs updating. The showerhead was positioned awkwardly, and the corner of the toilet door was moldy. Breakfast offered a good variety, and the food was decent overall. A big plus was how quickly staff cleared used dishes and refilled food items. On the downside, some hotel restaurant staff were not wearing masks or gloves. I also witnessed staff putting food that had fallen on the display table directly back onto the platter. The person refilling the fresh milk also needs to be more hygienic and professional. Furthermore, many people in the breakfast restaurant were tripping over the plastic covers for electrical wires on the floor, which is a significant safety hazard and could lead to injuries and potential liability claims for the hotel. Overall, the hotel really needs to improve its hygiene standards.
