Hotels With Bar in Johor, Malaysia

2nd stay and loving each stay as smooth self-checking in and self-check out. After confirmation, sent details to number provided and collect key card at e locker upon arrival. Videos and location to collect key card provided after booking confirmed. Asked for an early check in. Easy access to eateries, a mall opposite, mini marts below. Gym and pool at level 8. Clean, quiet and great for a short get away. Perfect for solo traveler, business trip, families and couples who wants some quiet holiday.

We recently stayed at St. Giles Southkey Johor Bahru for four nights. The hotel is very popular, largely because it is directly connected to Mid Valley Southkey Mall, making shopping and dining extremely convenient. Breakfast can get quite busy and crowded, especially during peak hours. However, if you prefer a quieter experience, it’s better to go during the last 45 minutes before breakfast closes. The staff were efficient in replenishing food items promptly, even when demand was high. There were five coffee machines available, which helped to manage the crowd well and kept waiting times reasonable. The overall buffet spread was average—not exceptional, but sufficient. Housekeeping was satisfactory, with rooms maintained to a decent standard throughout the stay. One downside is the check-in time, which is after 3pm. This is slightly later than the typical industry standard in Malaysia and may be inconvenient for some travelers. Overall, it’s a solid and convenient hotel choice.

This time, the air conditioning in the room wasn’t as cool as during my previous stay. It might be due to energy-saving measures, but it did affect the overall comfort. I contacted maintenance on the first night as the room felt warm at 25°C. After servicing, the temperature improved to 23°C. However, it gradually increased again — 24°C the next day and back to 25°C on the day before check-out. With the current humid and warm weather, I hope the air-conditioning system can be better maintained to ensure a more comfortable stay for guests. Other than the air-conditioning issue, I really enjoyed the location. It’s very convenient, with massage services, food options, pedicure, and hair treatments all located just next to the hotel, which made the stay much more enjoyable.

A large 20-30 years old hotel building. Clean , very large guest room with city view on the high floor. Fast check in and friendly staff. Very good buffet breakfast. Good water pressure at the high floor bathroom. None smoking rooms are available, but sometimesl smell of the smoking still coming from room ventilation. Good room price. Will stay again if I come to Johor Baru.

This hotel is located right on the Johor Strait, and from my room, I had a great view of the bridge connecting Malaysia and Singapore. Both the room and the bathroom were spacious and comfortable. The buffet breakfast was also excellent and plentiful. It's a grand hotel with a impressive feel, yet it's very well-managed. A tall young man at the front desk was particularly helpful; he even spoke Chinese, which made communication very smooth. Since the hotel is quite large, I wasn't sure where to park, and he personally escorted me to the parking lot behind the hotel. That was a really thoughtful gesture, and I'd like to express my gratitude to him here!

Had a great stay at Holiday Inn Johor Bahru City Centre for the 2nd time! Staff were friendly and the room was comfortable. Location is super convenient too. One concern though - the lift access to guest floors felt a bit too open. Anyone can press the button and get up to the floors, even with the card reader being overridden. Feels like a safety risk, especially in a busy city centre hotel. Hope they look into beefing up security for guests' peace of mind. Overall, would still recommend - but hope they address this!”

Great Stay with Beautiful Lighting We had a wonderful weekend stay at this apartment. The place looks amazingly cool, especially with the LED lighting that gives the whole apartment a very modern and cozy vibe. The kids absolutely enjoyed the jacuzzi, which was definitely one of the highlights of our stay. Overall, everything was comfortable and we had a pleasant experience. Just a few small suggestions that could make the stay even better. It would be helpful if extra plastic bags for rubbish could be provided. Also, some additional lighting at the makeup table would be great, as it is quite dark and we had to do our makeup using the toilet mirror instead. Another suggestion would be to include some TV channels. When travelling with elderly family members, they usually prefer watching normal TV rather than Netflix. Providing a few extra towels would also be appreciated. The sandals provided were fine, and the bidet is definitely a big plus point! Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would still recommend this place.

Great location. Clean and functional. Has some nice touches like the stuff in the lobby. Comfortable bed. The room was stuffy and needs better ventilation and maybe dehumidifier and some scent. The check-in lady was super nice but the check-out one was not very friendly.

I recently stayed at Holiday Villa Johor Bahru City Centre and overall had a pleasant experience. The room was spacious, clean, and offered a lovely unblocked city view, which made the stay quite enjoyable and relaxing. However, one downside was the bathroom setup. It only came with a fixed rain shower and did not have a detachable shower head. This made it quite inconvenient, especially for my mum, as it was difficult for her to shower comfortably. Overall, it’s a good hotel with nice rooms and views, but the bathroom design could be more user-friendly, particularly for elderly guests or those who prefer more flexibility.
