Holiday Inn Johor Bahru City Centre by IHG

8/10 Good

"Friendly and helpful team at Holiday Inn JBCC. Makes a difference to the stay there. Could improve on maintaining the room hangers please. Thank you."

KSL Hotel & Resort

8/10 Good

"Room looks cleaned. There are few comments to highlight as below: 1. The DND light and Make up room light is on when I check in. It make me doubt that someone in the room at first and I have double check the key card holder and proceed to open the door. 2. TV remote few of the buttons on the right side hard to press. Need to press harder to operate. No calling due to late night. 3. There is no anti-slip mat in the bathroom for guest to use. My son (7 years old) was nearly falling into the toilet bowl due to legs is wet after shower come out from the bathtub. Due to safety reasons, please to consider to install a hand bar at the other wall to let people to hold it. 4. The toilet seat bidet is very odd and loose due to the design. 5. The basin tap design is odd, when I use for the first time, I on the tap and the water hit on the basin and spray out water easily. 6. Bath Towel have some odd smell, never report due to late night. 7. Toilet roll quality need to improve. 8. Shampoo and Shower Gel not good to use (no bubble) and there is no conditioner and body lotion provide in 4 star hotel. 9. Iron has stain and not function well. 10. Kettle inside is rusty. Better to change it. 11. Need to arrange to do Facade cleaning. Window with algae. Positive feedback: 1. Room is cleaned. Free of dust. 2. I loved the water dispenser at the lift landing. It is effective reduce of plastic bottle. 3. Bed and pillow is comfortable."

Sheraton Johor Bahru

6/10 Okay

"Staff were friendly. Building itself and decor are gorgeous. Rooms clean and well appointed. Concierge service in disarray. Asked for something special for my wife as it was her birthday. Concierge finally got back to me 3 days after my original outreach. Said they would put a small decoration and a piece of cake in the room prior to our arrival, which I thought was great. Nothing in the room upon arrival. I emailed the concierge team about my disappointment and got no response back from them at all. Checked out the next day and left and nobody from the hotel said a word about it. They were all friendly so I can only assume it was the managements attention to process detail and discipline lacking. Would have expected a little better from the Sheraton brand."

R&F Princess Cove by FUJU & 5mins to ClQ

10/10 Excellent

"Clean and spacious apartment. Amazing sea view at the causeway! It’s a 50 storey building and we were staying at the 48th floor. Convenient and walkable to R&F mall across. Host is responsive and helpful. Down side is that toilet is a little small and there are no rack or hook around to dry towels and to put clothes."

DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Johor Bahru

10/10 Excellent

"We were welcomed with a piping hot cookie each from DoubleTree Hilton as soon as we checked in. Our kids signed up for a complimentary cookie making session and at the end of it get to bring home all the cookies they made. Staff is always courteous and polite, going out of their way to make guests feel welcomed. Top notch service by the hotel crew. Looking forward to return to DoubleTree!"
