Romantic Hotels in Johor, Malaysia

Was doing my usual monthly trip to Paradigm Mall for my regular TCM checkup. Too lazy to travel back so decided to stay in KSL over the night and chump on the pasar malam, as usual. Did the usual foot bath and bought some snacks to bring back as well. Nothing much, just the usual.

First time staying at this hotel. Love the location, breakfast is not much to my liking but my husband loves it. Room is comfortable but the air in the room, probably the aircon seems to be a bit dirty or dusty causing us to cough randomly. Also upset to see the stained bedsheet. They could have throw away the stained bedsheet instead of reusing it.

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 pleasant one-night stay at Holiday Inn Johor Bahru. The hotel is clean, modern, and very conveniently located near JB Sentral and shopping malls, making it perfect for a short getaway or business trip. The check-in process was smooth and the staff were friendly and helpful throughout the stay. The room was comfortable, well-maintained, and equipped with everything needed for a relaxing night. The bed was especially comfortable and the room had a nice city view. Breakfast selection was decent with both local and international choices. Overall, it was a comfortable and enjoyable stay, and I would definitely consider staying here again on my next trip to Johor Bahru.

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.

Everything was great during my stay. The staff were very alert, friendly, and always ready to help, which made the experience even more pleasant. The room was spacious, cozy, and well-maintained, and the bed was extremely comfortable—perfect for a good rest. The only area for improvement would be the toilet cleanliness, which could be better maintained. Also, the shower head is the older fixed type. It would be much more convenient to have a removable shower head, especially for families with kids or for guests who may not want to wash their hair every time. Breakfast was great too.. Will be back..

The room is very nice. We like that we can cast from our phone. The check in was delayed by 2 hours. The staff was very helpful. He gave us all complimentary breakfast. But the breakfast was bad. Too much processed food - chicken nuggets, ham ,etc. too much sugar - donuts, soya milk was too sweet, fruit drinks were too sweet, except for the fresh orange, cucumber and pineapple juice. Those were great. It's definitely not worth the price for our family. St Giles, Opero, Holiday Inn Express at Komptar, Hilton all have better and healthier breakfast. The swimming pool has too many sharp corners near the children area.
