4-Star Hotels in Johor, Malaysia

"Every year I will come and stay at Holiday Villa hotel at Johor Bahru. Hotel staff is very friendly and helpful. Hotel room is very clean and comfortable. The breakfasts very delicious too. Hotel downstairs got alot of food to eat. Valet is for hotel guest not expensive and valet parking is RM35 per day. Hotel carpark is free parking. Holiday Villa hotel is very near KSL shopping mall and Holiday Plaza. Worth to stay this hotel."

"Holiday Inn Johor Bahru City Centre is a really comfortable hotel with some excellent touches. The rooms feel new and are very well designed. I particularly liked the bedding, with both soft and firm pillows available, and the soothing lighting makes the room feel very relaxing. Everything was clean and thoughtfully laid out. I also liked the convenience of having power sockets with built-in USB slots—very useful for charging devices without needing to carry extra adapters. The bathroom was a real highlight. I honestly liked everything about the shower. The water pressure and temperature were excellent, but what impressed me most was the design. The shower area is properly enclosed, so the water doesn’t end up flooding or leaking into the basin area. It’s a small detail, but one that makes a big difference. The toiletries also had a lovely aroma, while the overall bathroom design was modern, spacious and practical. Breakfast was another highlight. There was a great spread with a wide range of food, offering plenty of choices to suit different tastes. The facilities are good too. The gym has several treadmills as well as a tower gym, so there’s plenty of equipment for a proper workout. The rooftop swimming pool on Level 32 is another highlight, offering fantastic views of both the Johor Bahru and Singapore skylines. My only complaint is the car park. The parking area on Level 7 is quite narrow, and there is one particularly tricky bend at the exit that requires some serious manoeuvring. You can actually see the walls bearing the scars of many cars that didn’t quite make it through unscathed! Overall, a very comfortable and well-designed hotel with lots of thoughtful details. I really enjoyed my stay and would definitely come back again — just be prepared for the car park!"

"This was my second time staying at New York Hotel. This time, I stayed in a Family Room. We originally had three people, and after added an extra bed. The price was still quite reasonable, and breakfast was included, which was a good value. The breakfast was one of the highlights of my stay. There were many choices, including local Malaysian favourites such as roti prata, nasi lemak, porridge, and more. I really enjoyed having so many different options. My favourite part of the hotel is definitely the indoor swimming pool. The hotel also has a gym and jacuzzi, which are great facilities for relaxing and enjoying some downtime. The Family Room was very spacious, and the view was beautiful. The location is also convenient, making it easy to get around and access nearby places. However, there are still some areas that need improvement. The shower mat was quite dirty, which was disappointing. Also, out of the three towels provided, two of them had a very strong unpleasant smell. I hope the hotel can pay more attention to the cleanliness and freshness of the towels and bathroom items. Another thing I found inconvenient was that there were only two charging sockets in the room, and one of them was located in the bathroom. For a family room, I think having more charging points would be much more convenient for guests. Overall, I still enjoyed my stay because of the spacious room, beautiful view, good breakfast, indoor swimming pool, gym and jacuzzi. However, I hope the hotel can improve the cleanliness of the bathroom items, the smell of the towels, and provide more convenient charging points."
