#johorbahruhotels 🏨 Holiday Inn Johor Bahru City Centre — 🌍 Location is superb — right above / connected to Komtar JBCC & City Square Mall, and very close to the CIQ (customs/checkpoint). Great if you want shopping, food, or crossing over. 🛏️ Rooms are clean, modern & comfy — many say the rooms are spacious with good amenities, nice beds, good views. 😊 Friendly staff & good service (mostly) — check-ins are smooth, staff helpful, guests generally satisfied with hospitality. 🥐 Breakfast / food variety — good spread, local + international options. Though busy times affect speed. 🏊♀️ Amenities & facilities — rooftop sky pool, 24-hour gym, good lounge, views of Johor Bahru from higher floors. --- 👎 What Guests Mention Could Be Improved ⏳ Lift / Elevator delays & access logistics — you often have to change lifts (mall to lobby, lobby to room), especially during peak hours. Waiting times can be long. 🔈 Sound issues — walls / doors are thin, noise from other rooms, hallways or plumbing sometimes disturbing. 🛁 Inconsistency in housekeeping / amenities — reports of missing toiletries, slow room service or delays, lapses like unclean spots (tables, corners). 🍳 Breakfast chaos during peak times — especially egg station / hot food counters get crowded, sometimes long wait or slow replenishing. 🅿️ Parking & entrance issues — carpark access can be narrow, entrance via mall or multi-level parking lot; sometimes confusing or inconvenient. 🌡 Air-conditioning / ventilation issues — some guests reported AC not cooling well, heat in room, or smells / stale air in certain areas. --- ⭐ Overall Thoughts Holiday Inn JBCC is a very good option especially for short stays, weekend getaways, family trips, or for travelers who want easy access to malls, food, and the border. It delivers strong value: good location, modern amenities, generally clean rooms and friendly staff make up for the few rough edges. If you’ve a low tolerance for noise, need flawless service & amenities, or expect luxury, then some of the issues might matter more. --- 📝 Review with Emojis & Hashtags Holiday Inn JBCC — often called “nice, modern, and super convenient” ✅ What stands out: 📍 The location = ⭐️ — connected to malls, steps to CIQ, food everywhere. 🛌 Room comfort & aesthetics are solid; new-hotel feel, good views. 🏊 Amenities like the rooftop sky pool & gym are enjoyable escapes. 😄 Staff mostly friendly and helpful — gives good impression. What to be aware of: 🚪 Elevator waiting can be long, especially during busy hours. 🔉 Noise from corridors / other guests can disturb. 🍳 Breakfast can get messy / crowded — don’t go in late! 🧼 Occasional slips in cleanliness & on-time service. --- Rating: 4/5 👍 Great choice for location & convenience. 👀 Minor improvements needed in service consistency & infrastructure.
