Hotels in City Center of Johor Bahru, Johor Bahru

We stayed at KSL Resort Hotel Johor Bahru for 3 nights. The room was spacious and comfortable, with plenty of charging ports, a big smart TV, and everything we needed for a short stay. The location is also very convenient, as it’s connected to KSL Mall, making it easy to find food and do some shopping. However, there were a few issues during our stay. The refrigerator didn’t work properly — we had to call the front desk three times after checking in, and while it worked for a while, it stopped again the next day. We eventually gave up on using it. On the first day, when we returned to our room around 7:30 PM, it hadn’t been cleaned yet, so we had to wait about 30 minutes for housekeeping to finish. Overall, the room and location were great, but the maintenance and housekeeping service could definitely be improved.

Cons It's my first time staying in a hotel without a shower head. Suggest the hotel install showerhead in all the toilets regardless of the room type. There is a mosquito in the room. We called on the housekeeping department, and they could only offer insecticides as a remedy, but we politely rejected them as my toddler is travelling with us. Pros Breakfast spread is not bad. The restaurant staff are very attentive and friendly. The housekeeping and frontdesk staff (Farizzudin) are very polite and helpful.

I’ve stayed at this hotel more than 10 times, but this stay was by far the most disappointing one. The room was very dusty, both of us couldn’t sleep well as our noses kept itching every time we turned. Cleanliness really wasn’t up to standard this time. It’s also not our first time celebrating a birthday here, and while I understand requests are subject to availability, I did indicate in the booking that we were returning to celebrate my partner’s birthday. It was quite disappointing to find the room completely plain without any gesture or effort. Considering the room rate wasn’t cheap this round, it’s a pity that the experience fell short. What keeps us coming back has always been the location — walking distance to City Square and Jalan Ah Fook — but I’m starting to wonder if I’m asking for too much as a regular guest.

It's my second booking within two weeks, the first booking was on 25 September 2025 for two nights the hotels it's location in the vicinity of amenities and overlooking the sea is Singapore . Morning breakfast was just good not very much of verity.

Stayed at Capri by Fraser Johor Bahru (Studio Deluxe King) and really enjoyed it. The room was spacious, clean, and modern — more like a serviced apartment than a hotel room. Loved the comfy king bed, big windows, Bathroom equipped with rain shower. Staff were friendly and check-in was smooth. Location is super convenient, just a short walk to CIQ and shopping malls. Only downsides — I stayed in room facing construction. Overall, a comfy and stylish stay that feels premium without breaking the bank. Would definitely come back

The hotel is just right in the middle of Johor sentral and very convenient with all necessary shops and restaurants nearby. Receptionist have provided a 24th floor room to me which I have much appreciated that with excellent scenery. The room and facilities are quite old but well maintained. Bed and pillow are clean and comfortable. Toilet and bathtub are also well maintained and no smelly issue. The next day morning breakfast is simple and good, nothing much to complaint. Overall staying experience is good and value for money, definitely will choose this hotel again if travel to Johor.

The room is clean and cozy, the toilet is very clean also! I really love that it is just beside the mall i really like the location also the smell of the lobby is very nice. All the staff are very friendly, but I hope there are more selection food at buffet breakfast.But everything is okay we will come back again

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 5/5 – Exceptional Stay at DoubleTree by Hilton Johor Bahru From the moment we arrived, the experience at DoubleTree Hilton Johor Bahru was outstanding. We were warmly greeted with their signature chocolate chip cookies, a small but thoughtful gesture that immediately set the tone for a memorable stay. The check-in process was smooth and efficient, with the front desk staff going above and beyond to make us feel welcomed. Their professionalism, friendliness, and attention to detail stood out throughout our stay. Our room was spacious, spotless, and elegantly designed, offering a beautiful view of the Johor Bahru skyline. The bed was incredibly comfortable, ensuring a restful night’s sleep. I especially appreciated the modern amenities provided, from the well-equipped workspace to the luxurious bathroom. Dining at the hotel was another highlight. The buffet breakfast offered a wide variety of local and international selections, freshly prepared and full of flavor. The service staff were attentive, always ready to assist with a smile. The facilities were top-notch – the swimming pool overlooking the city was a fantastic spot to relax, while the gym was well-maintained and equipped with everything needed for a good workout. What truly made the stay exceptional was the warm hospitality of the entire team. Every interaction – whether at the restaurant, housekeeping, or reception – reflected genuine care for guests’ comfort and satisfaction. In short, DoubleTree Hilton Johor Bahru is the perfect blend of luxury, comfort, and world-class service. Whether for business or leisure, I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Johor Bahru. I look forward to returning soon.

My husband and I always love the city hotel. Why ? We love the vibes, the people, the location. This is our go to short escape, we go to every hotel in the city for 2days1night, we sit near the window with our JCO's Donut, enjoying the view, and resting. Sometimes we just want new air, feel stuck yesterday ? Now our mind is clear and fresh ☺️❤️ Oh yes, the crib clean and thanks for the free coloring book + crayon, popcorn, and refreshing welcome drinks. Service good, no doubt. Just the entrance and the mall, it is not stroller friendly so I need to go a bit farther and the parking lot is not near too with the lobby. Or Maybe I need to go again to check the access. That time we try to find the way but it seems like that's the way at that time.

Stayed for one night in the deluxe room. Location is near KSL (5 min walk). Room was spacious and with a good view as we were on 14th floor. Although there was some issue as the vent outside our original room was making loud dripping sounds, the manager managed to help us change to a nearby room and allowed us a good night’s sleep. Breakfast is simple but sufficient. Would stay again as it is value for money!
