Romantic Hotels in Johor, Malaysia

Our stay at KSL Hotel was pleasant. We enjoyed our stay because of the hotel staff's great service. The location was great as the hotel was just beside the KSL Mall which was very much convenient for us. There were many eateries and nice foods around KSL Hotel.

Room@22nd Flr was very spacious, clean and well maintained. Location is great as situated within Mid Valley Southkey Shopping Mall and easy to commute from JB Sentral (approx 35mins J15 bus ride@RM$1.70). Check-in by Alex was smooth and took less than 15mins and check-out took less than 5mins; very efficient despite hotel being ”sold out” during stay. We didnt use the pool or gym, only had ”welcome drinks”; small pink coloured lychee flavoured at the 28th Flr. Breakfast was ok though quality can be improved; salad greens not fresh, oily sambal and hardered rice but service was tops despite the crowd.

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.

The Grand Paragon Hotel in Johor Bahru is an exceptionally convenient choice for travelers looking to explore the city. Its prime location offers easy access to ride-hailing services like Grab and puts you within walking distance of KSL City Mall and a variety of local eateries. The hotel provides a safe environment complemented by a helpful and friendly staff. Guests can enjoy a wide range of on-site amenities, including a massage center, a restaurant, a convenience store, and a swimming pool. Furthermore, hotel guests can take advantage of a breakfast buffet for just 30 Ringgit. The rooms themselves are notably spacious and maintained to a very high standard of cleanliness.

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!

Decided to book last minute - initially cant book for family of 2A2C. WhatsApp them, replies was….sluggish. Finally manage to book and the room was…not like the initial ones. Previous booking it was really great. Room size room cleanliness. The room we got was small but there’s multiple hairs on the carpet. Especially with kids, that was just a no no. Call them via the phone provided, was put on hold and the line got cut off 🙂 Tried calling again, took quite a while before finally got connected. Upgrade the room for RM80. Whatever that was book on trip wasn’t as per advertised. Second, it was drizzling. So we went downstairs to take a look at the swimming area. There’s no towels. Call the front desk ask if the swimming pool is open, they mention “I think it’s open” Breakfast was subpar.

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!”

The hotel is incredibly quiet and super easy to find. Just remember, no smoking in the rooms! It's really good value for money, and the owner is very kind. I'll definitely stay here again next time I'm in the area.

Overall its a good experience staying here at Holiday Villa. Room was clean and sheets were clean..breakfast was ample choices w spacious seatings. However 2 feedback When we were checking in on a Sat eve at 5pm we were waiting for 6 rooms almost 45 mins and we were the only ones. Not sure whats the delay caused by as i noyice the staff attending to us was looking at his screen for a long time. Safety Proposal While your toilet is spacious there is a high risk of falls esp for kids and elderly as yr toilet shower area does not have the safty gran bars to steady ourselves while imunder the shower and soaping on a slippery wet floor without friction. The tiles should be layered with rought or fast drying texture for safety. So either lace the tile surface or installl saftey bars or both. Do review this urgently..No one should fall inside the toilet while bathing esp since its only the overhead rain shower and no handheld shower piece. Hope this suggestion help to prevent accidental falls waiting to happen.

Hotel service and staff is excellent! Very spacious room with lesser crowd compared with st Giles at mid valley southkey. Only downside during my stay was that the jacuzzi was under maintenance and hence unable to use. Good gym equipment and nice afternoon tea menu! Definitely will visit again!
