[2025 Johor Bahru Stay] Travel Guide for Holiday Villa Johor Bahru City Centre (Updated Jan)

There is a trend now in Malaysia for these kind of nostalgic koptitam stores. You can immense into the early days of kopitiam culture through these unique kopitiam. It has now being revamp to be modern and clean with decent menu pricing. There are many brands and Heng Wah Kopitiam is a newly open kopitiam located at Holiday Villa Hotel JB, across KSL shopping area. You will read the menu and write down the item code using a pencil and the order chit. This is also part of the nostalgic kopitiam ordering system. The cutlery used is also carefully selected to resemble the kopitiam culture. It is fun to be dining at kopitiam. #travelanywhere #johorbahru #malaysia #liveyourdreams #takethattrip

#wheretogo With the recent heat wave, there’s no better time to go for a swim in the amazing infinity pool than during a staycation at Holiday Villa Hotel in Johor Bahru City Centre Malaysia. The pool is quite a good size and offers a wonderful city view. There is also a nice jacuzzi next to the pool deck. I like that it wasn’t overly crowded even on a weekend, and there were enough deck chairs for guests. Enjoy! I hope to be back soon!

First time staying in this hotel in Johor. Location was good in the middle of city which easily to tour around. Check in took about half an hour. The rooms are clean and well maintained but abit old. There have rooftop swimming pool and gym on the 26th floor for hotel guests. Also easy access to shopping, food, pharmacy etc. KSL City Mall just across the road. The hotel is opposite KSL city. There are so many other food choices around the area as well. Breakfast was great, plenty of selection and have a good view of the city while having breakfast. Overall, will come back and recommend to anyone who looking for a great business hotel to stay. #mymymemories #awesomepic #malaysia #Johor

A halal korean barbeque place located at the lobby of Holiday Villa Johor Bahru at GF 3, GF 4, GF 5 Menara Malpakat, 260, Jalan Dato Sulaiman, Taman Abab, 80250 Johor Bahru, Johor, Malaysia. It is easy to come here and it is one of the popular places in JB. It is open everyday and it is also halal certified too. A super popular place and at first glance, it does not look like a bbq place. The staff are welcoming and will assist to cook the meat for you. There are plenty of choices and you can order ala-cart. Try out this place when you come over to JB for day trip. #newyearadventure #johor

Booked a staycation at Holiday Villa in Johor Bahru City Centre, Malaysia, with Trip.com’s amazing promo deal and it was really worth it! Hotel’s location is good, just next to KSL shopping mall. Room and bathroom were both spacious too. Service was efficient as well. My rating of this hotel: 3.5 ⭐️ out of 5!

Located near KSL mall and holiday plaza, this hotel is a popular choice among Singaporeans for a short staycation. However, I find that the overall stay is not up to my expectation. The main issue is with the room. Booked the superior room and I found a few issues with it. Firstly, the door is too near to the toilet bowl so you might knock onto it if anyone enters and secondly, there is no detachable showerhead which makes it difficult to wash certain areas of body. However, there are also areas worth visiting in the hotel. One example of this infinity pool located at the top floor that has a awesome view of the JB city center. Address - No 260, Jalan Dato’ Sulaiman, Taman Abad, 80250, Johor Bahru, Johor, Malaysia Avg. Price per Room - $80 - $150 Rating - 3/5 #hotelstaycation #tripblazers

A lot of cafe has been recently introduced to the Johor Bahru city itself but this unique SPACE Cafe is nothing comparable to the others! If you are a coffee lover who like different options of beans blend in your espresso, this cafe surely can satisfy your olfactory needs! Be it single origin or unique bean blends, choose the kind of coffee which suits your mood and taste! Besides, the pastries which they offer are quite good too. We tried the crème brûlée tart which the crust was flaky and buttery and the filling was sweet and fragrant. Pair it with black coffee of your choice would be a good option. Address - Space cafe G-11, Holiday Villa, 260, Jalan Dato Sulaiman, Taman Abad, 80250 Johor Bahru, Johor Ambiance- Muji theme cafe Highlights - Espresso base coffee/ Pastry Avg. Price per Person - RM15-20 Rating - 4/5 #urbanexplorer #awesomepic #deliciousfood #本地遊 #foodie #cafe #jbcafes

Address: G-11, Holiday Villa, 260, Jalan Dato Sulaiman, Taman Abad, 80250 Johor Bahru, Johor, Malaysia Ambiance: 4/5 Highlights: coffee drinks are unique and good Avg. Price per Person: 30RM per pax Rating: 4/5 Second time trying this cafe. Just opposite KSL mall. I am impressed with their coffee drinks as they don’t just offer the regular Americano, lattes, flat whites etc. they have a menu of unique coffee drinks with seasonal special coffee drinks. And the unique coffee drinks are recipes that I haven found else where and most importantly, they taste good. They are not so unique until they are too sweet etc. but a good spin on regular coffee drinks like I particularly enjoy their orange Americano. The orange taste complements the coffee taste well and neither overpowers each other. Their in store pastries needs some work tho. Other wise. Good ambience, good lighting, free WiFi, good coffee, reasonable price. What’s not to like. #cafes #coffee #johor #johorbahru #johorcafe

JB makan trip again! This is a Dim Sum restaurant at the ground level of Holiday Villa Hotel in the KSL area. It is located at the back of the hotel. Fully airconditioned and nice ambience. Price was on the higher side but taste was quite good. Highly recommended for a cool place to relax and drink tea. Address - Holiday Villa, Jalan Dato Sulaiman, Taman Abad, 80250 Johor Bahru, Johor, Malaysia

Located across the causeway and just across the road from KSL shopping mall, Holiday Villa Johor Bahru is a perfect weekend escape at a convenient location. With its convenient location, it’s easy to catch a late night movie/ sing to your hearts content at the KTV in KSL, or head for Lok Lok supper just opposite KSL mall. Room is generally well kept and clean! 💯Though the rooms usually come with breakfast, if local food is more your fancy, fret not as a short walk downstairs will lead you a ton of breakfast options ( kopitiams with good coffee and prata/ noodles) Highly recommended for couples and families alike. Always one of favourite hotels in Johor Bahru! 🥰 📍Address - Holiday Villa Johor Bahru City Centre, No 260, Jalan Dato’ Sulaiman, Taman Abad, 80250, Johor Bahru Highlights - Spacious rooms, convenient location, infinity pool , good food all around #2023travelwish #tripblazers #staycation

Do you know there is a short cut from KSL City Mall to Holiday Villa Hotel. You can take the route from KSL City Mall KFC and head towards Holiday Villa Hotel. You will see a steep staircases at the back of Holiday Villa Hotel. Take this staircase and you will arrive at Holiday Villa Hotel and there is a walkway towards their lobby. You will also see many restaurants at the back lane of the hotel too. I spotted this new convenience store “Fill up Mart” and it has both indoor and outdoor sitting area for you to eat your instant food. #bucketlistreboot #johorbahru #liveyourdreams #takethattrip #urbanexplorer

This is one of the best hotel I’ve ever stayed in JB. Never regret coming back to stay with Holiday Villa! Is definitely gonna be my choice in future too! How lucky are we to be able to witness the double rainbow upon checking in late evening after the afternoon rain showers. My children were delighted to catch the rainbow and watched it while it slowly disappear. The infinity pool with awesome view! My children enjoys the pool and view! Staff are super polite making us feel so warmly welcome! #mustvisit #staycation #holidayvilla #superb #awesomestay#awesomeview #awesomepeople #greathotel #loveit

A beautiful cafe located at the lobby of Holiday Villa Johor Bahru Hotel. You will see it once you enter through the main entrance into the lobby. If you come in from the back door which is the shortcut from KSL Shopping mall then you will miss it. A space like design cafe with a wide variety of coffee, tea and fruit juices. Every drink order will come with a description introducing the drinks. I tried their coco jumbo 22 ringgit which is coffee with coconut. The ingredients card is indicated in both English and Mandarin. Their design is mainly on silver and white colors, making it space life with the their circular mirrors. #passionpassport #createwithtrip #malaysia #johorbahru #jb #overseastripmoments #urbanexplorer

Holiday Villa Johor Bahru City Centre Address: 260, Jalan Dato Sulaiman, Taman Abad, 80250 Johor Bahru, Johor, Malaysia I am going to plan a trip back again soon. I went over to Holiday Villa JB to take a look when I was at KSL. Holiday Villa still looked the same and even the korean restaurant K-Fry also still in operation. You can choose from a superior/deluxe room. I recommend you to choose the deluxe room because I remember some of their superior rooms are smoking rooms. Elses you can try out their premium suite which is much more spacious and has a 5 seater sofa in the room. The eateries at the lobby are still in operation and there is a new cafe right at the hotel lobby too. Sometimes, when I do not have a booking at Holiday Villa, then I will pay for their valet parking for safety purposes. It costs about 20rm to park right outside the hotel lobby. #malaysia #jb #johorbahru #welovejb #ilovejb

Address - Holiday villa johor barhu Ambiance/Facilities - swimming pool & Gym Highlights - infinity pool Avg. Price per Person - rm250 Rating - 3/5 Remarks. Swimming pool and gym need to book at the ground level reception,one room can only book one time per day and only for one hour. If is raining they won't allow you to use the swimming pool. Breakfast was above average food wise quite many variety to choose, just that bread was finish and was not replenish. Room is big but the bind beside the bathtub is spoilt. plus point is alot of food stall around the hotel., ksl mall is also walking distance from the hotel.

It’s been more than a year since the closure of both borders and I started to miss JB very much . One of the hotel I stayed during my trip to JB was Holiday Villa hotel located beside KSL City shopping . Love the infinity pool and the bar on the rooftop floor . Breakfast had many options to choose from while nearby is KSL shopping can get many stuffs at a bargain price especially phone casing, clothings, accessories, hand bags and nice food around . #unforgettableexperiences#beautifulhotel

Holiday villa is just stone throwaway from ksl

Great hotel stay with a patio at the breakfast area. Patio is a great spot for both smokers and sunrise viewers.

#malaysiatrip Kwan Kee Store is a trending and popular store at Holiday Villa Johor Bahru hotel, it is located on the ground floor shop house unit. On their opening day, their queue is so long and now the queue is getting lesser which is also easier to buy. They give out many samples and most of their food items are best to consume as soon as possible. They are open everyday from 11am and close once they are sold out. You can try this Michelin star Hong Kong desserts if you are in JB next time.

Great dim sum near the hotel

Booked a night stay on one of the weekday nights to JB at Holiday Villa. The hotel is quite crowded on a weekday. There are few restaurants within the hotel like K Fry, Heng Wah Kopitiam, Chao Lao and Space Cafe. It is conveniently located near KSL. The room is relatively spacious and clean. It also comes with a hotel buffet breakfast. The spread is quite okay and we had a sumptuous breakfast. Also, went on a Monday so that we can walk the pasar malam that is located opposite of KSL. Overall, quite a not bad stay 👍🏻 #staycation #johorbaru
