Top Istana Besar Hotel Reviews
Capri by Fraser Johor Bahru
10/10 Excellent
"Quiet and private location with a modern twist. Great place to stay."
DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Johor Bahru
8/10 Good
"Free parking, staff service excellent. Surrounding hotel under construction so location messy not so nice"
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."
R&F Princess Cove by FUJU & 5mins to ClQ
10/10 Excellent
"Clean rooms! Customer Service is very helpful with fast replies. No complains. Will come back in the future."
Suasana JB Central by TPL
10/10 Excellent
"Breakfast at level 34 was nice. highest cafe in all of JB"
Sheraton Johor Bahru
8/10 Good
"Overall stay was good. Just minor issues like having only 2 towels when 3 checked in, so I had to share towel with my son even after asking. Common toilet has no trash bin. Main toilet tissue box was empty. Overall still ok la."
Citrus Hotel Johor Bahru by Compass Hospitality
10/10 Excellent
"Comfortable stay."
Holiday Inn Express & Suites Johor Bahru by IHG
8/10 Good
"The hotel is about 10 to 15min walk from City Square and easy to get to. Initially, we did not know how to get there, so took a bus from JB Sentral, #J10 and drop about 350 meters from it. Staff guided us to go to the 3rd floor carpark and turn right towards Public Bank, City Square is just after it."
CIQ HOTEL at Jalan Trus
8/10 Good
"Night can get quite noisy"
