4-Star Hotels in Johor, Malaysia

I recently stayed at St. Giles Southkey, Johor, and had a fantastic experience. The hotel is located in Mid Valley Southkey, making it incredibly convenient for shopping, dining, and entertainment. The direct connection to the mall was a huge plus! Rooms & Comfort: The room was spacious, modern, and well-maintained. The bed was comfortable, and the overall cleanliness was impressive. The large windows offered a great city view, adding to the pleasant ambiance. Amenities & Facilities: The infinity pool on the rooftop was a highlight – perfect for relaxing with a great view of Johor Bahru. The gym was well-equipped, and the breakfast buffet had a good variety of local and international dishes. Service: The staff were friendly, professional, and attentive. Check-in and check-out were smooth, and any requests were handled promptly. Location: Being attached to Mid Valley Southkey Mall means plenty of dining and shopping options just steps away. It’s also a short drive to the JB checkpoint, making it a great choice for visitors from Singapore. Overall: A comfortable and convenient stay! Whether for a short getaway or a business trip, St. Giles Southkey offers excellent value with its location, facilities, and service. Highly recommended!

This hotel has always been my go to hotel in JB if I want to be near to KSL. Room is big and clean. The only thing I want to mention is they don’t give any cotton bud , cotton pads and ear buds.  I got to stay at Room 1902 and am very happy that I can see the sunrise from my room window. And the seats near to the curtain certainly adds a fine touch as we can sit there comfortably to see the Sunrise.  Buffet breakfast was normal. However I noted that there were no tea bags available.  Carpark is free for hotel guests. Also, there is currently a 20% discount at Thai Odyssey if you show them the room card. It’s located on the 6th floor of the hotel.

Decent price. Good location. Can find eateries and convenience stores nearby within walking distance. But the hotel is surrounded by clubs and bars, so it doesn't look family friendly in my opinion. Booked sea view room, the room is very spacious, the view is great. The swimming pool is clean, there is small garden at swimming pool area it's nice. On the cons side: The hotel is quite rundown unfortunately, the standard is below the par from other Berjaya Group hotels. It could have looked grand with more maintenance and upgrading. The surrounding corridors to the room are gloomy with musty smell, lift has tobacco smell, the decoration and furniture are outdated. On the day I checked in and checked out time, there were workers cleaning the main entrance lobby floor with big pool of water, why they do it at this time??? Room cleanliness can be better. There were small flies in the toilet and the room itself. Furnitures like the tables are dusty, I had to clean them off with tissue papers. The toilet seat and the water tap head at the basin are a little flimsy though, had to use with extra careful, I was afraid it may fall off. Torn bedsheet at one corner. The room that I got at 14th floor is not really soundproof. At night, can hear loud booming bass noise from the clubs downstairs when it was time to quiet down for sleep, very annoying. Not an ideal place for a peaceful getaway. The room came with breakfast, but it was very basic. Don't expect much.

The hotel needs a renovation and update with the interior. The room (Premier King) is very spacious but the space is not properly utilized. TV is very small. Wall scones are almost falling and sanitary wares are old. WiFi inside the room is okay. The aircon and mini bar fridge are old but still working very well. There were hairs in the bathroom when I checked in. For breakfast, the pancake (Jan 29th) and Apam Balik (Jan 30th) are very very delicious as well as the dimsum. The water melon however tastes like onion (Jan 30), I suspected it was the knife they use to cut the watermelon. The hotel has so much potential if renovated. I just noticed they are not observing safety as they are using the ledge in the corridors to make a temporary rack for towels and rugs while the housekeeping staffs are cleaning the rooms. These might fall on the atrium which might harm someone below.

Great choice for a short getaway! Sunway Big Box Hotel offers modern, clean, and comfortable rooms at a reasonable price. The location is excellent, with easy access to Sunway Big Box Retail Park, X Park, and other attractions. The staff is friendly, and the check-in process is smooth. The hotel provides a relaxing atmosphere, perfect for families looking for a convenient stay. Overall, a well-rounded hotel for a quick and enjoyable break!

Stayed at Grand Paragon Hotel yesterday and booked three rooms. Got connecting rooms on a high floor. The rooms were comfortable and clean, perfect for families as the beds are wide enough for kids. However, the lighting was quite dim, and a night lamp at the corner would help brighten the space. Our rooms also have bathtub which is a plus point. One downside was that they only allow one extra towel per room, and extra water comes with a charge, which was surprising and a tad calculative. We had sahur instead of breakfast, and the food spread was satisfying. It was a pleasant stay, but these small improvements could enhance the guest experience!

Great location above Komtar JBCC, perfect for shopping and easy access to CIQ. Rooms were modern, clean, and comfortable. The rooftop pool and gym had great city views. Breakfast had a good variety but got crowded. Service was friendly. Overall, a convenient and comfortable stay—would return!

Located in the heart of town, this hotel offers great value with reasonable prices. The rooms are clean and spacious, and the staff is friendly. While the Wi-Fi could be faster, the breakfast buffet is excellent, nice gym, the pool and hot spring area are relaxing. A solid choice for a convenient and affordable stay.

Stayed at the hotel last year in Oct and had a pleasant experience. Decided to invite my family this time round. Rooms were cleaned quite late. We left hotel at 9am but at 4pm rooms were still not cleaned :( the pool was also under renovation and we could not check in early like last time. Guess they were too occupied :( they also got the birthday man’s name wrong! My SIL’s name was typed out on the card instead. Oops! Overall the hotel is much nicer and newer as compared to most hotels in JB so that was a plus point!

Amazing stay! Super near to the mall so the ease of finding food and other amenities is great! The staff are super friendly and accommodating especially the doorman/security guard! Even the staff in-charge for breakfast was super nice! Love everything about this hotel will definitely book again! Room is very clean. AC is very strong too! Spacious room. Thank you Citrus!

Night time pop by the Magical Light Damcimg Fountain jus beside the hotel. Parks, Sand playgroundsare jus behind. Hardrock cafe is like 10m.kin drive. Head down to Gem Wellness Spa @ Emeral Bay Clubhouse about 10min drive for an amazing VIP spa like never before. Tale e Couple Package.

Bahru I recently stayed at the Ramada Meridin Johor Bahru and had a wonderful experience. The hotel offers a pleasant environment that is both welcoming and relaxing. The food was particularly impressive, with a variety of delicious options that catered to different tastes. The cleanliness of the hotel was also noteworthy, as everything was well-maintained and spotless. Overall, I had a good stay and would recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a comfortable and enjoyable place to stay in Iskandar Putri.

The room exceeded my expectation. It was clean. Toilet was clean. Comes with natural body wash and shampoo. The corridors were indeed non aircon and doors look worn but the inside was well furnished and well maintained. There’s a shoe rack, pantry and walk in wardrobe! Receptionists were friendly. Bento breakfast was delicious and huge portion. Choose nasi lemak.

Spacious hall with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms..1 king and 1 queen bed. King bedroom comes with big bathtub. Hotel next Fraser place Walk in Breakfast at swatch cafe. 55rm per pax. Worth it. Balcony with Partial view of sea with building view in the middle. Exterior facade wall building can be repaint to gv fresh look. Washing mach cum dryer Big fridge Stove but no pans n pots Very friendly accomodative reception staff

Check in is smooth, the room is clean and comfortable, beautiful sunset view and room came with a small kitchen and a large refrigerator. We spent a great weekend here with our family.

Such a nice place and location.. the studio is ample enough for both of us..everything is provided plus cooking utensils and washing machine.. if the owner could provide dryer is better for those staying more than 3 days..i’m really satisfied and wish to book again if i’m going to Johor in the future .. tqvm

Overall it was a very nice stay, few points for the host to consider: 1- To add grills on every window. Since its at Level 26, and for it to be safe for family with kids, best to secure the windows with grills. I was anxious at night thinking what if my kids sleep walk and open the window. Maybe too paranoid with many cases of kids falling off from high rise houses nowadays 2- To at least provide shampoo as well 😅 3- To consider to prepare some Sejadah and sign of Qiblat direction for Muslim customers. You may call Ahli Falak Johor to do it Thank you!

The room is nice and big. It's clean overall, but there are some small animals that come in from nowhere. I saw a dead cockroach on the floor in the morning, and there were many small bugs crawling around. . . .

Such a good place to stay for family travellers. Very clean, spacious and peaceful. Furthermore, superb infinity and sky pool.😍 Indeed, highly recommended place to stay in JB. Kudos to the contact person who’s very responsive to our queries.😊.

The place was well maintained and cleaned. The food was good. The facilities inside were great for family. Just that it was too overly crowded. The check in process took almost 2 hours. We felt like we were at the government agency counter while waiting for the number to be called. It was not a good experience considering the amount of money we paid to book here. Everywhere inside also was super crowded. The waterpark was so full of people it felt anxious to be there. Too bad we could not get the access to the beach probably because of the monsoon season. Overall, we preferred Lotus Seaview rather than here.

What a gem of a hotel! From the efficient check-in/check-out process, each moment was delightful. Also, the hotel has a very secure and safe environment Security personnel is also helpful and friendly. The room were clean and very comfortable, with many hand, face towels and bathrobe. They went over and beyond to help make our stay enjoyable. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Desaru! Check in and out was efficient check-in/check-out process of the hotel. Their customer service is also commendable and offered us an excellent experience. We loved everything about this hotel, from room types, customer service, and facilities to the serene pool area. I will recommend others for sure! Breakfast, comes with many choices and fresh prata/eggs cooked on the spot. Many eateries within arm's reach. Will come back!

Reasonable price, good location near the beach, all rooms are facing the seaview & friendly staff, breakfast spread is quite good for the price. The facility is quite rundown, lack of maintenance - plants & landscape need to upkeep, turf with litters, aircon is very noise because air filter is choked with dust. Other nearby areas of interest are closed, Ostrich farm & Adventures park. If hotel wants to keep customers coming, they really have to take it seriously to upkeep the whole facility.

Staff at the front desk just okay. We booking for king bed but I believe it was just a queen size bedroom since we request for ground level as im pregnant. No lift provided. The interior was not very nice. The basic appliances were provided but the fridge is not functioning(not so cool) and not much space to set our foods and baby bottles etc.,. The worst was the smell from the sink (smells comes from the sewage) and need to open the exhaust fan all day long. Even i put soap the smell wont come off the smells comes from the drainage. It was bad i almost thrown up when opening the toilet door. I would not recommend staying here during monsoon seasons because we were not able to walk along the beach (the tide was high). The only thing i love were the environment of this resort (its so relaxing outside of the room) and the breakfast was superb. For dinner we went outside and eat at warung tepi futsal and the food were bad. The price almost the same as JB (quite pricey) even though JB still can get lower price.the staff at the pool counter was not friendly. His nails were so long and dirty . Not even smile at us. And answer our question smirkingly because we forgot our towel card.

A good place to create a memory, who like to escape from the city this is the place, but if they have like more facilities is must be good then ever, pssttt maybe can have ur own robe like the other resort around right. that's all from me. love ya sebana, looking forward to repeat everything next time. ❤️
