Johor Bahru Hotels with Gym

Overall it was a good stay experience! To my surprise, the hotel room looks good, and the view is damn nice! The location is super good, every Monday night market is just in front of hotel. Only thing is if hotel can provide some sitting area for elderly and kids will be better, cos the check in time is 3pm, if arrive earlier, there is no sitting area for them to have a rest, and a lot of ppl there.

Very close to KSL & hotel was clean! Had huge space as well and aircon was good too! Provided free parking & also there was a water dispenser inside the room.

Excellent location which is just opposite Komstar and Citi Square. Excellent service staff and fast check in. Great junior suite with foc drinks and also snacks. Big room for 4 of us and a nice bathtub. Breakfast was nice and good selection. Parking easily available and connected easily to lobby at 6th floor. 2nd time staying at this hotel. Only thing is aircon seem to be central and can't turn it higher as it was too cold. Will come back again. Did I mention 2 great steamboat joints below it. Hai Di Lao and Guoma.

I recently stayed at Thistle Johor Bahru, and overall, it was a pleasant experience. The staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating, making me feel welcome from the moment I arrived. The hotel offers a beautiful view, especially if you get a sea-facing room—the daytime scenery is quite nice and adds to the relaxing atmosphere. The overall vibe of the place is calm and peaceful, perfect for a short getaway. Cleanliness was decent, though I did notice that some areas could use better maintenance. The pool area is well-landscaped and adds to the charm of the hotel. If you’re looking for a relaxing stay with good service and nice views, this is a solid option. However, a little refresh in some parts of the hotel would make the experience even better!

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.

I am so impressed with Doubletree! Upon queuing to be checked in, we were served freshly baked cookie. The cookie definitely warmed our hearts (pun intended) and we felt so welcomed by the gesture. The check in was smooth and the room was clean. There was also a cute staff serving pop corn at the lobby to guests heading out/in. We will be back! :)

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!

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.

This hotel is old and rundown but offers budget-friendly rates for travelers. It used to be a 4-star establishment but has since dropped to 2 stars. The staff are friendly and helpful, though the hotel is located far from the shopping mall, making it difficult to walk to from ICQ. The surrounding area is quite dark at night. Breakfast is average with limited choices, but it’s a decent option for Singaporeans looking for a place to stay, especially when traffic to the immigration is heavy.

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.
