Romantic Hotels 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 👍

I usually stay in Holiday Villa but decided to book this as i was with a group of 4. The apartment i booked is on the 55th floor. Took some practice to tap the access card on the scanner (aim at top right corner). Apartment was very clean, everything working well. Did not do laundry but the balcony was a very good space cos of the compressors’ warm air. But be careful to lock the door to the laundry balcony at night. My grandma was extremely happy with the freezer. Carpark was free at time of check-in as i was told they may charge soon (this building is new). Check-in was fuss-free and easy! Will definitely book again.

The hotel's location is pretty good, quite close to the Singapore and Malaysia border, about a 20-minute walk. The facilities are decent for the price, and the staff are professional. The only downside is the noise from the many motorbikes nearby, as the soundproofing isn't great. It's suitable for a layover.

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.

My stay at Sunway Hotel Big Box was unfortunately below expectations. The check-in process took much longer than expected. Although I arrived at the lobby around 10:30 am and was assured that I would be informed once the room was ready, I only managed to get my room at about 3:30 pm. Even then, the connecting room that I had requested was not ready until around 3:50 pm, resulting in further waiting. There were also issues with the room facilities. The coffee machine was not working, and after calling the front desk, I was told that assistance would arrive within five minutes. However, no one turned up, which was disappointing. On a positive note, the hotel staff acknowledged the inconveniences and provided a fruit platter as a gesture of goodwill. While this was appreciated, the overall experience could have been much smoother, especially considering the delays and lack of follow-up on the maintenance request.

Good budget hotel for short stays. Room is small but clean and tidy. Basic facilities are sufficient for an overnight stay. Considering the very affordable price (SGD 35), it offers fair value. The only issue is that the soundproofing could be improved, as noise from outside the room can sometimes be heard. Would recommend for travelers who are looking for an affordable and convenient place to stay.

I had a wonderful stay at Capri by Fraser Johor Bahru. The room was spacious, modern, and very clean, with excellent facilities including a kitchenette and comfortable bed. The hotel staff were friendly, professional, and always willing to help. The location is convenient, especially for travelers using JB Sentral and the Singapore checkpoint. The breakfast offered a good variety of food, and the swimming pool and gym were well maintained. Overall, the hotel provided great value for money, and I would definitely stay here again on my next visit to Johor Bahru. Highly recommended for both business and leisure travelers.

The hotel's location near the beach is perfect for a vacation. The facilities are great, especially the swimming pool, which my kids loved. The cleanliness was acceptable, though I did find a hair when I pulled back the covers 🤣. The service was good; while not overly enthusiastic, they were quick to resolve our requests. Overall, I'm satisfied with this stay and would prioritize choosing this hotel again next time 😀
