"Excellent Stay — My Fourth Visit This was my fourth stay at the hotel, and once again, it was a wonderful experience. The service was excellent, the staff were friendly and welcoming, and the room was clean, comfortable, and well maintained. I really appreciate the consistent quality and hospitality every time I visit. It feels like a home away from home, and that’s why I keep coming back. I highly recommend this hotel and look forward to staying here again!"

Capri by Fraser Johor Bahru

10/10 Excellent

"Quiet and private location with a modern twist. Great place to stay."

Holiday Inn Johor Bahru City Centre by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Just next to CIQ. Will be glad that you are so close to the customs and can just dump the bag before going to shop in KSL or Southkey. In July 2026 the City Square is undergoing renovations so there is not much to shop so take note of that. Everything should be back to normal when the new MRT station opens that links to Singapore. The hotel is modern, new and very welcoming. Did not have breakfast at the hotel but went to the old town to have my nasi lemak and hainanese coffee."
