1. Chic Suasana JB Suite, Cozy Stay With Balcony

Central District

"Moldy, too humid Stale air Expensive parking Lift without security No view Pool was average Sofa bed with unsafe broken wheel Room was not tasteful, more like a cheap motel with ok looking kitchenette. Took us a long time to figure out how to switch on the aircon from the electric distribution board Low maintenance, pool at floor 33A and changing room smells horrible. Location is average, we drive so make no diff. The kids didn’t enjoy it. Mom didn’t enjoy it too. Wouldn’t visit again,...

Top Bandar Johor Bahru Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Express & Suites Johor Bahru by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"The 2-room suite (for 4 of us) was smaller than I expected but is comfortable and clean. The staff at the counter were most supportive, helping us with Touch n go related requests, among others. Location was easy to find, and is accessible without being in a crowded area. Breakfast is moderately good, there were better options on the 2nd day for vegetarians."

Grand Paragon Hotel Johor Bahru

10/10 Excellent

"We love staying at Grand Paragon Hotel and visit almost every month. It is a very child-friendly hotel, which makes it perfect for our family. The rooms are clean and comfortable, the staff are warm and welcoming, and the breakfast has a good variety. The air conditioning is great, and our children always enjoy their stay. It feels like a home away from home for us, and we always look forward to coming back. Highly recommended for families with children! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐"
