Hotels With bar in Johor, Malaysia

We had a wonderful 3D2N stay at JB R&F Cove 180 Degree Seaview 1BR Unit With Balcony from 20–22 June 2026. The location is excellent—just a short walking distance from the CIQ JB custom, making it very convenient for travellers coming from Singapore. The apartment is also located right beside R&F Mall, so food, shopping, and daily necessities are easily accessible. There's even a 24-hour coffee shop right below the apartment, which came in handy for late-night snacks and early-morning coffee. The unit itself was perfect for a couple's getaway. We especially loved the quiet and peaceful sea view from the balcony. Waking up to the calming scenery and sea breeze was truly relaxing. Although the washing machine does not have a dryer function, the strong sea-facing wind allowed our clothes to dry completely overnight, which was a pleasant surprise. That said, having a 2-in-1 washer-dryer would make the stay even more convenient and save guests’ time. For those who prefer their laundry dried quickly, there is also a laundromat conveniently located right below the apartment near the 24-hour coffee shop, making it an easy alternative. The kitchen was well-equipped with a proper refrigerator featuring both chiller and freezer compartments, as well as a microwave oven, which was a big plus point for us. The living area also came with a Smart TV that supports Netflix and YouTube, making it perfect for a relaxing movie night after a day out. One possible improvement would be the addition of a water filter dispenser, as it would provide even greater convenience for guests during their stay. Check-in was seamless and hassle-free. A friendly staff member personally escorted us from the check-in counter to the apartment, making the entire process smooth and welcoming. We didn't have enough time to try out the condo facilities such as the swimming pool, gym, and sauna, so we're unable to comment on those. However, getting around was very convenient. We booked Grab rides to Angsana Mall for a spa massage and to X-Park for go-kart and ATV rides, and both journeys were quick and hassle-free. Overall, it was a very pleasant stay. The apartment was comfortable, well-located, and offered a peaceful environment for a relaxing getaway. We would not hesitate to stay here again on our next trip to Johor Bahru. Highly recommended!

Travelling with an infant for the first time can be both exciting and challenging. Prior to arrival, we had requested for a baby cot and a king-size bed combination to better accommodate our family. Unfortunately, these requests could not be fulfilled upon check-in. While we were initially disappointed, we appreciated the professionalism and courteous service of the receptionist, who handled the situation with empathy and efficiency. Despite the inconvenience, our overall stay remained enjoyable, and we created many precious memories during the trip. The check-out process was smooth and seamless, ending our family getaway on a positive note.

Stayed here as a family and had a great time overall. location is unbeatable  literally connected to KSL Mall so food, shopping and the Monday night market (recommended experience) are all right downstairs, super convenient with kids. service was excellent, staff friendly and helpful throughout. amenities were great too, the pool was a hit with the children. only small thing was cleanliness, room was good but could be a touch more spotless in places. that aside, brilliant value and id happily stay again. highly recommend for families 👍

Location near to ferry terminal,easy access to and from terminal to hotel because both in same building but different level. Ferry terminal at level two. Hotel lobby at level one. Service ok. Breakfast ok many choices But negative points, within and surrounding hotel there are clubs, noisy at night that disturb peace especially if your room is at lower level. Here the clubs n shop in building serve n sell liquor too...saw drunk lady outside hotel at night. Feel uncomfortable. Car park n hotel use different lift so has to ask security guard how to get to hotel lobby after parking at multilevel car park. Quite complicated so need to ask specific directions to hotel lobby from car park . Hotel building not new, but clean, room quite spacious, superb view from room at level 15 overlooking the sea.

The location is considered good as it is within 10min walking distance from KsL shopping mall. The view from the room is also nice. The room is quite big with a comfortable bed and large tv with many channels. However the toilet bowl is not very good as gets clogged easily. Overall a comfortable stay.

Had a wonderful stay at Holiday Inn JBCC! The location is excellent—right in the heart of the city and within walking distance to Komtar JBCC, City Square Mall, and the CIQ, making shopping and getting around very convenient. We also requested connecting rooms for our family, and the hotel kindly accommodated our request. It made our stay much more comfortable and convenient, especially when travelling with children. The rooms were clean, spacious, and well maintained.

Having stayed at Holiday Villa numerous times, I keep returning for one simple reason: consistency. It has become my go-to choice for trips to Johor Bahru, and it continues to deliver a reliable experience. Why I keep coming back:  Prime Location: Being located directly opposite KSL City Mall is incredibly convenient. You have immediate access to shopping, dining, and the cinema without the need to navigate heavy traffic or deal with long walks.  Hassle-Free Parking: This is a major selling point. Between the ease of self-parking and the convenience of the valet service (at a reasonable RM35), arrival and departure are always stress-free compared to the often chaotic access at the mall side.  Solid Breakfast: The breakfast variety is surprisingly good, with a nice spread that offers a solid start to the day. A Note on Value: I am fully aware that the room rates here are generally higher than at KSL Hotel. While it is a bit more of a premium, I find that the extra cost is absolutely justified by the seamless parking experience, the slightly quieter environment, and the overall maintenance of the property. Verdict: If you value efficiency, ease of access, and a hassle-free stay, the slight price premium is worth every penny. I will definitely be returning.

The resort is located outside of the city, the ambience is very nice, the hotel room is spacious and well designed, however it is worn down and one can see it has surpassed his glorious time. The towels are quite old and the amenities are simple. The gym was well equipped for few decades ago, the Aircon is not working properly so it is super hot inside. The Sauna and jacuzzi are for both genders. There are only one bottle of water provided free of charge per person per day, the tap water tastes terrible. The breakfast is good in the sense of varieties. It can be challenging to get a taxi due to the location.

The title of the apartment should fall under D'Esplanade instead of JB city Shoping Mall apartments as it is located at the D'Esplanade Residences. The apartment is clean amd fits up to 4 people. Bathtub is abit of a concern as it is made of of acrylic and when you step inside it feels like it will Crack. There is a bidetbspray hose but no bidet gun spray. The sink in the toilet is leaking underneath which causes the floor to be wet. There is also no shower curtain, and when showering , the water tend tobsplashnonnrhe floor outside.thr latch on the door is broken off, therefore unable to ensure safety if someone has the card access. Ease of getting the key and instructions is good. To check out during peak periods can have you waiting for the lift for at least 25bto 30 minutes form a high floor to the ground level, as there was one lift outbofb4, that was out of order. Overall stay is good. Walk down and on the left is KSL Horel and out from the apartment building is on the night market on Mondays.

Hotel is clean and staff are friendly. Wide spread of breakfast to choose from. There is free shuttle service to Mid Valley Southkey Shopping Mall so we don’t have to walk that far. Will definitely stay again and recommend it to friends.
