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 👍
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.
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!

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.

hotel was kinds to extend our late Check out. Our room was a collecting room but luckily the neighbours weren't too noisy. Sound barrier was poor and the ceiling fan was creaking. Safe wasnt working but they sent someone to fix it within 15 min.
Toiletries were bare essential no hand towel only bath towels and hair dryer it's supplied. Despite these the rest was comfy and we'd a good night sleep.

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.

Overall experience is pleasant. The property is near the KSL Mall with nearby coffee shops, spa, and other good cafes.
The room is clean and comes with shower foam and shampoo. Worth it.
The counter staff is friendly and helpful to explain the pointers for check in and check out.
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.

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.

AAnonymous UserVery pleasant stay at the hotel! Had an add on of the breakfast at promotional price of 78 ringgit per pax and the buffet spread was awesome! The staff are courteous and welcoming, feel very warm each time we bump into them. There’s a pillow menu for you to choose & welcome cookies upon check in (very delicious)! The massage shop in the hotel called Swan Reflex was good and price is comparable with shops outside (had an additional discount for hotel guests). Hotel is about 10mins walk away from CIQ, abit difficult to walk now with the ongoing construction at the surrounding.

JJuines HongCheck-in and check-out were a breeze. The room facilities are excellent; they've thought of everything you could possibly need. It truly felt like home. My only minor gripe is the lack of a designated drying area for clothes. After doing laundry, I had to find various spots (preferably under the fan) to hang things. But with the fan on full blast overnight, they dried just fine, which was good. The game room was very comfortable and a hit with the kids, though parental supervision is needed as there are some hard objects. The bed was incredibly comfy, and they provided two pillows – you could choose between soft and firm. Plus, there were plenty of smaller cushions if you couldn't decide. The room faced northeast, so it was bright and invigorating.
GGuest UserLocation is conveniently near to tuas, minutes to Legoland. Quiet, comfortable, and deliberately tucked away from the crowded city center. If the goal is to get away and truly relax in a spacious environment with beautiful waterfront backdrops, this suite delivers perfectly. Highly recommended for a proper reset.

FFaith, Hope & LoveWe were very satisfied with our stay. The apartment was very clean and well-equipped with amenities, including toothbrushes, towels, body wash, shampoo, and a hot and warm water dispenser. There was also a frying pan, utensils, mugs, plates, hangers, clothes rack, a refrigerator in the living room and a mini fridge in the master bedroom, oven, washing machine, and even a game console available for guests. The aircon was working well. There is a gym and a swimming pool with a kids pool.
The unit was especially convenient and the location was also excellent, making it easy to access nearby attractions, shopping, and dining options.
Overall, the apartment was comfortable and had everything we needed for a pleasant stay for a family with two young kids. It was also easy for taxi/grab to locate the apartment. Check-in and check-out were easy as the same lifts to the apartment could be used to access the mailbox . We would definitely return and highly recommend it to others.

MMcainI had a really pleasant and comfortable stay at Ramada Hotel Johor Bahru, especially in the East Wing room. The room was spacious, clean, and well-maintained, with a cozy and relaxing atmosphere that made it easy to unwind after a long day. Everything was neatly arranged, and the bed was very comfortable, giving me a good night’s rest throughout my stay.
What I appreciated the most was the overall cleanliness and attention to detail in the room. The facilities were in good condition, and everything felt well taken care of. The hotel environment itself was calm and welcoming, which added to the whole experience.
The staff were also friendly, polite, and helpful whenever needed, making the stay even more enjoyable. Service was smooth from check-in to check-out, which I really value when staying at a hotel.
Overall, I would say Ramada Hotel Johor Bahru is a great choice for anyone looking for a comfortable and hassle-free stay in Johor Bahru. The East Wing room in particular is definitely worth it. I would happily come back again and recommend it to others.
GGuest UserHad a wonderful stay at R&F Princess Cove. The unit was clean, modern, and very comfortable, with a cozy atmosphere and tasteful interior design. I especially loved the warm lighting, spacious layout, and relaxing pool area with a great city view. The location was convenient, and the overall environment felt safe and peaceful. Perfect for a short getaway or staycation — would definitely come back again!
GGuest UserWe will definitely come back again. The check-in process was very smooth, and the staff were friendly and welcoming. The room was spacious, clean, and comfortable. We also enjoyed the breakfast, which offered a good variety of options. Overall, it was a pleasant stay and we look forward to returning in the future.
TTentenAmaiodinThe unit is spacious, clean and comfortable. The bed is bouncy and we slept well. The place also comes with useful amenities like a fridge, electric stove, oven, iron and hair dryer. However, there is no water dispenser or water filter provided. Basic utensils such as plates, spoons and bread knives are available, but there are no forks, bowls or other cooking tools, so you may need to bring your own or purchase separately if you plan to cook.
The downside was the check-in experience. We were only given the access card without the bedroom key, and ended up stuck outside for almost an hour trying to figure out how to enter. The owner’s response was quite late, which made the situation frustrating. The TV in the room was also not functioning. On the positive side, the owner did allow a late check-out at 1pm.
Overall, the stay was comfortable after settling in, but the initial access issue and late response affected the first impression.
AAnonymous UserThe twin beds were larger than a standard single, big enough for two people, and the mattress was firm enough. There were both soft and firm pillows, so I slept really well. Since the hotel recently opened, all the room amenities were brand new. The bathroom was clean with no mold. I didn't have the breakfast buffet, but I did take a look, and there was a huge variety of options. Next time, I'll definitely book breakfast. I hope they can maintain this standard!
