4-Star Hotels in Johor, Malaysia

Our overall stay was great! The breakfast spread was impressive, with a wide variety of delicious food, and we really enjoyed the warm hospitality from all the staff. I had requested a little complimentary surprise for my husband’s belated birthday and our upcoming wedding anniversary, and to our surprise, they prepared two cakes for us! Such a sweet and thoughtful gesture that made our stay even more special. We truly felt pampered throughout our stay. Thank you, DoubleTree Johor Bahru! ❤️

Overall, this was an above average apartment stay. Lots of amenities in the apartment, including a washing machine, cooker and full size fridge. The biggest advantage is definitely the location — the apartment is situated directly above Paradigm Mall, making it extremely convenient for shopping, dining and getting around without having to travel far. The stay itself was comfortable enough, but there were a couple of issues worth highlighting. Firstly, we received an unauthorised SMS that appeared to be related to our booking, and we nearly fell victim to a scam. Guests should be especially cautious about responding to suspicious messages or making payments outside the official booking platform. Secondly, although the apartment can accommodate up to 7 guests, we were provided with only one access key card. This was quite inconvenient, especially for a larger group where people may have different schedules and need to come and go independently. Overall, the stay was satisfactory and the excellent mall location was a major plus, but better security awareness and providing sufficient key cards for the number of guests would significantly improve the experience.

The check-in time is at 3:00 PM, which feels quite late, while check-out is early at 11:00 AM. It would be much better if they offered an earlier check-in and a more flexible check-out. The check-in process requires calling customer service, who then send instructions—this can be confusing for international guests. To make matters worse, the local internet is slow, making it difficult to download the guidelines. Aside from these issues, the room was clean, fully equipped with amenities, convenient for families, and very close to Legoland.

This used to be my favourite hotel in Bukit Indah. However, the price of the hotel has increased but not the service, nor the amenities. The hotel no longer provides a hand towel or the slipper. All these little touches were removed, might be due to cost savings measures.

⭐ **Great Stay at Mid Valley St. Giles Hotel!** Had a wonderful stay at Mid Valley St. Giles Hotel for 2 days and 1 night! The room was comfortable, clean, and cozy, making it a perfect place to relax. The location is excellent, with easy access to Mid Valley Megamall and plenty of shopping, dining, and entertainment options. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the overall experience was pleasant and enjoyable. Definitely a great choice for a short getaway, and I would love to stay here again. Highly recommended! 😊✨

Fantastic family stay! The apartment is exceptionally clean, modern, and very spacious. Having a separate living area and a beautifully designed kitchen made our stay incredibly comfortable. It truly feels like a luxury home away from home. Excellent service and highly recommended for families!

My stay in Johor Bahru this time was quite pleasant; the hotel generally exceeded my expectations. The room was relatively spacious for Malaysia, and the cleanliness was good, with a very comfortable bed. It was convenient to find places to eat downstairs and nearby, and taking a taxi to the mall wasn't far either. The front desk processed check-in quickly, and their service attitude was friendly. Overall, it offers great value for money, perfect for a short stay or a weekend getaway in Johor Bahru.

We checked out earlier supposed to be we will checked out this afternoon but we already checked out last night. We cannot take it so many cockroaches and I report it and send the photo but there’s no action. Very disappointing additional on that the toilet really stinks like the urine smell. I can say they never clean the toilet properly cos the sink also have stain.

This has to be the worst Four Points by Sheraton I've ever stayed at 😅. The decor is on par with a 200-300 RMB budget hotel in China; only the lobby and corridors look somewhat decent. The soundproofing is abysmal. You can feel the floor vibrating when kids run and jump upstairs... and the constant hum of the air conditioning unit kept me awake all night. The hygiene was terrible; there were crumbs on the floor, and I even found a balloon left by a previous guest when I lay on the bed... The trash can in the bathroom was also very dirty... My first task after checking in was to clean the room with sanitary wipes. The only redeeming quality is its proximity to a supermarket, which was convenient for buying things.

Worth the Price, Peaceful Stay with Good Amenities — A Few Areas for Improvement Overall, we had a pleasant stay at Blue Horizon Suites, Forest City. It was definitely worth the price we paid to get an entire apartment, especially considering the space, comfort and amenities provided. Environment and Sea View The environment was quiet and peaceful, making it a great place to relax and unwind. Our unit had a partial sea view, as it was located next to the lift rather than facing the sea fully. Unfortunately, the haze affected visibility during our stay, but I believe the sea view would have been superb on a clear day. The balcony was a nice bonus and a great spot to enjoy the surroundings. Cleanliness and Amenities The apartment was clean and well-equipped. The towels provided were big and of good quality, which was a nice plus. Slippers, a hairdryer and toiletries were also provided, so we had pretty much everything we needed for a comfortable stay. One thing I noticed was that Trip.com advertised a smart toilet, but the toilet in our unit appeared to be an ordinary one without any obvious smart features. Perhaps this varies by unit, but it would be good for the listing to clarify this so guests know what to expect. Kitchen and Air-Conditioning The kitchen design could be improved. Although there was an electric stove and a cooking hood, there was no conveniently located power socket for the stove. The only available socket was underneath the cabinet, but the stove’s power cord was not long enough to reach it. This seems like a design oversight that should be looked into. The air-conditioning in the living room was another area for improvement. Even with the temperature set to 17°C, it did not feel particularly cold. Perhaps due to the open layout connecting the living room and kitchen, one air-conditioning unit may not be sufficient to cool the entire space effectively. Breakfast Breakfast was simple but acceptable. The tuna mayonnaise sandwich was nice, and the boiled egg was cooked just right without being overcooked. However, the Vitagen was served at room temperature. As it is a probiotic cultured milk drink that should be stored according to its refrigeration instructions, it would have been better if it had been properly chilled before serving. Staff and Service On the positive side, the staff were friendly, helpful and responsive. Communication was easy through WhatsApp. Whenever we needed anything, we simply messaged the front desk and received prompt assistance. The complimentary buggy service to Marina Hotel and back was also a convenient touch. Overall Experience Overall, we enjoyed our stay and felt that we received good value for money. Having an entire apartment at a reasonable price, together with the peaceful environment, cleanliness, spacious balcony, useful amenities and responsive staff, made the stay worthwhile. There are a few areas that could be improved, particularly the kitchen layout, living room air-conditioning, breakfast beverage storage and clarification of the advertised smart toilet feature. Nevertheless, these did not overshadow the overall experience. I would consider staying here again, especially for the value of having an entire apartment in a quiet and peaceful environment.
