This hotel puts you right in the heart of Johor Bahru's action, with the lively KSL night market at your doorstep and endless shopping just steps away in the attached mall. The unbeatable location means you're surrounded by massage parlors, local eateries, and convenience stores - no need for taxis once you check in. Rooms are clean and functional, offering comfortable beds and reliable air conditioning (a must in JB's heat). While not luxurious, they provide everything you need for a short getaway. The only downside is the often slow check-in process, especially on weekends when crowds of Singaporean visitors arrive. Highlights: - Night market snacks available just outside the lobby - Dozens of affordable massage options within 2 minutes' walk - Direct mall access for air-conditioned shopping and dining - 24-hour mamak stalls nearby for late-night cravings Perfect for: - Weekend shopping getaways - Foodies wanting easy access to local flavors - Families needing convenience above luxury Tip: Request a higher floor room facing away from the market for less noise. Visit the night market early (before 8pm) to avoid the biggest crowds. Why we return: Where else can you roll out of bed and have char kway teow, foot massages, and retail therapy all before #johorbahruguide #malaysia #travel #familytravel #resorts #johorbahru #malaysiatrip #johorbahrutrip

#newyearnewtrip Spent 2024 and 2025 (well, I mean the last day of 2024 and first day of 2025) with KSL Hotel and Resort which is very conveniently located near KSL City Mall. We had booked the triple room consisting of one single bed and one queen bed. While we had issues with the shower head as the water was spraying in two different directions instead of one, and the room does not have good soundproofing as we can hear the fireworks even when they were far away, the room was clean and nicely fits the 3 of us. The facilities were pretty decent with a swimming pool, gym and games room which had billiards tables and table tennis tables to entertain guests of all ages.

Welcome to my room tour at KSL Resort Hotel and this is their rooms located at Tower 2. My room has a pool facing view and a triple size bed good for 2 persons. The room is spacious and have plenty of space. There is no bathtub in this room and it is ok with me, I prefer taking quick shower. There is water kettle and fridge in this room. As for their TV, you can also cast your phone or use their built-in apps to log in and stream shows. It is really value for money here especially when you can book early for their free cancellation rates. #travelanywhere #johorbahru #malaysia #liveyourdreams #takethattrip

Room also very clean and the cleaning staff were all very nice. ❤️Check-out was super fast by simply returning the keys into box. ❤️There are general pool and waterpark facilities in this hotel.The waterpark is payable at Rm20 per head. My daughter really enjoyed the stay here. ❤️The food selection is variety and good! #awesomepic #passionpassport

I’ve always been into massages due to my backpain. I’ve tried massages in the different cities in Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Malaysia. But this massage spa in Johor Bahru is hands down the best I’ve ever tried. It is located in the KSL hotel and resort. They are open from 10am - 2am. Price ranges from RM30 - RM168. They offer 30 minutes to 120 minutes massages. The first time I tried it I was already feeling super satisfied. I thought it couldn’t get ang better but the 2nd time going there, I walked out extremely satisfied, relaxed and I felt like my muscles and joints are thanking me! 😂 #mytripvlog #2023travelwish #tripblazers #donnahtheexplorer #johorbahru #malaysia #massage

Then I saw the ksl event workers start to clear the usual clothing booth away. At first, I thought the clothing booths are close. But during the next day, when I went down for lunch I saw mid autumn festival decorations at the centre of the shopping mall. The event workers work very fast as they finish there job during the evening. Then, lots of mooncske booth start to set up and arrange there moon cake for selling. one of the special design moon cake box is the Chinese tower gift box. It has 3 components same as 3 layers of the tower.From the top, the first layer of the tower is tea leaves,the second layer is the 公仔饼 and the third layer is the moon cake.

KSL Resort Johor Bahru City Centre Address: 33, Jalan Seladang, Taman Abad, 80250 Johor Bahru, Johor, Malaysia I am going to plan a trip back again soon. Yes I checked in during the long labour day weekend. I am happy to be back in JB. Everything seemed to remain as-is. KSL Resort JB still looks the same and I got a free upgrade to their triple bed room at Tower 1. The shops inside KSL are also open for business. The ladies can get their hair, nails and facial done. The men can get their proper massages. Even in the basement, there is a new addition of a food court style market. The cinema has changed name to Golden Screen and I also managed to watch a movie in Cantonese. The dinosaur theme pool was also open for guests and many kids went there. So it is business as usual at KSL. Even the public bus from KSL to JB Sentral is also in operation. Thanks to Trip.com for their deals, I have booked many future KSL stays until 2023. #malaysia #jb #johorbahru #welovejb #ilovejb

Today I want to share a personal review of staying at KSL Hotel & Resort Johor Bahru. This is not the first time we have stayed here. Last weekend I stayed here, this time we chose the same hotel. Apart from the reasonable price, it is a child-friendly hotel.

Getting There - Attractions - Hotels - Food & Restaurants - Shopping -

Address - KSL Hotel & Resort, 33 Jalan Seladang, Taman Abad, Johor Bahru 80250, Johor, Malaysia Ambiance/Facilities - fantastic breakfast with a wide variety of food choices ranging from nasi lemak, fried noodles, chinese dim sum, cereal, fresh fruits to fresh juices e.t.c..... the hotel also offers gym facilities and spa/massage services. The pool is very decently-sized and there is also the dinosaur water theme park for the children. Highlights - KSL Hotel & Resort Johor Bahru is an integrated hospitality, residential and retail development, located in of course, Johor Bahru. KSL Hotel & Resort Johor Bahru is just a short 10 mins drive away from the causeway from Singapore. It is also a mere 30 mins drive from legoland theme park. The hotel itself consists of two towers, namely tower one and tower two. Connected right next to the hotel is the shopping mall that provides a long list of options for dining, fashion, entertainment and services. Many Singaporeans, including myself will make a trip here for their very affordable hair and nail services, massage, groceries shopping etc.. Next is the optical shops that have a wide selection of frames and charges very reasonable prices. And the best thing is, you can collect your spectacles within 30 mins! If you start to feel hungry, fret not, there is a wide selection of food in this mall, such as sushi, kfc, four seasons cafe, gong cha, jco etc.... But if you feel a little adventurous, there are several small eateries/ coffeeshops just right across the mall which serves equally good food. Avg. Price per Person - $50 Rating - 8/10

I stayed here at KSL for 4 nights, and i think it is a good stay. The room is comfortable, spacious with a lovely bed, and good water pressure in the shower. Check-in was easy, and even though I arrived early, they allowed me an early check-in. The hotel is linked to the KSL Mall and offers a direct link to the shopping arcade, which was very convenient easpcially for food and entertainment. In terms of breakfast, an additional RM60 is needed as I booked my room without it, but the spread is average, and food is quite OK. There is a kids' dinosaur theme park, a large swimming pool, gym, and game room. Parling is with the shoppers althpugh it has its own section. #johorbahruhotels #travel #hotelreview #johor
