5 Stars Hotels in Johor, Malaysia

Hotel room looks newly renovated. Was pleasantly surprised that it provided room slippers and changed the individual soap and shampoo to more eco friendly dispensers. Room was comfortable and spacious. The major let down was screaming kids and adults next door made worst by inter-connecting door. Suggest hotel place families with young children in non connecting rooms( unless they book both rooms or place them far away. Kids were shouting and screaming non stop from 7am and adults were doing the same. Totally stressed out by the experience

Everything was alright. Except that I felt cheated on the first day of check in. I was too hungry hence I went to buy a egg sandwich. It was specifically reflected 18 ringit. But upon payment I was told it was 26 ringit, the server told me they have placed the wrong price tag. I felt so ripped off. But did not wish to argue further as I was tired & hungry. Paid for the sandwich & left the place

Came for a long weekend trip with family. Amazing breakfast spread, comfortable rooms and excellent services. Really enjoyed the private beach, the pool and complimentary bike ride! Both my elderly parents enjoyed the morning walks along the beach and vibe while staying in the hotel. If the hotel is near KL, I would have come again with my family!

Great location just across KOMTAR, and easy access via the escalator up to 2nd floor of Zenith Mall. Walking distant to anywhere around City Square and of course walking distance to and fro CIQ. Nice modern rooms and well maintained. Didn't have the breakfast as there's lots of good food around the hotel. Had 2 King Superior rooms and was connecting which is good for family. (though the front desk told me its side by side and not connecting except for Superior Twin).

We stayed for 1N Sat night in a Deluxe Twin room. The room is big and spacious. It gets abit warm because of the afternoon sun. The swimming pool is well overdue for renovation and repair. Its weird there is no toilet for wash up after the swim, expect guests to do simple drying w towel in the open! It gets very crowded on Sunday when we had our breakfast, food is above average. Its location is not near shopping malls, but Grab rides at RM10 to Bandar doesn't hurt. Its about 3km from City Square. Overall 7/10, Thistle hotel is tucked in a corner of JB city area, its has reasonable price, may consider coming back again.

Stayed overnight and tried staying here for the 1st time. Hotel location was a little out of the way from the city but it was safe and secure, with security guard to check vehicle before entry to the carpark. Staff were friendly and hotel was clean. Used the gym and it had plenty of equipment and provided water and towels for guests. Room was big and spacious. Will definitely choose to stay here again if I have the chance.

Booked room while other families used other booking platform. Front counter is nice to give us rooms on the same floor. We also requested for a late checkout which is at 1pm. We were also given coupons for free welcome drink. Our overall encounter generally w hard rock is amazing. And we love it. My mother in law say it is a waste for staying for 2 days and 1 night and there's a lot to explore. Ohh also do check out in store too! If you are a guest there and shop at a certain amount, u can get free gift and further discounts!

a perfect place to relax and escape from the hustle and bustle of the city. the room is very spacious, the view overlooking the pool from the balcony of the room is very beautiful, but the night is too dark. if you turn on the lights, the pool area and golf area must be even more beautiful. a hearty breakfast. The staff is also good, very helpful. will return to stay here for sure. **before arriving, I read people's reviews because of mosquitoes. and I managed to catch 4 mosquitoes and think will report to the resort but apparently in the morning i just know that my husband did not close the balcony door. it's all his fault because he slept soundly. I can't sleep because busy catching the mosquitoes 🤣. really fun experience actually

Very clean and spacious room. The amenities were great and the pool was shaded which was great for wet/dry weather. Bathtub was available. We ordered food from hotel kitchen and the portion was big for the price. Definitely a wonderful experience after the trip to Legoland.

The hotel stay was delightful. The room is spacious with everything working perfectly. Breakfast is delicious with variety to choose from. Facilities within the hotel too was superb. With their creativity, they eventually made an outdoor gym using woods that they recycle and also beach swing which is the plus point. Credits to the hotel technician team for their hardwork to build it.

Forest City Marina Hotel is a resort hotel by the sea with a view of Singapore. The receiptionist are very polite and helpful. We checked in at the hotel on 17 October 2020 and the whole check in process was fast and took us less than 10 minutes from queuing to getting the room keys. The room is very spacious and big. It is equipped with wifi connectivity, big screen tv, a variety of tv channels, a chiller, bathrobes and complimentary mineral water. The bathroom/toilet comes with a bathtub and separate shower and the size is big and spacious. The room also have a balcony facing the seaview and Singapore. The downside of the hotel: 1. It’s located very far from JB city and after 8pm, the Forest City seems to be a dead city. 2. Some of the facilities are not open to the public(eg. Only one swimming pool is open out of the many swimming pools, facilities around the resort are limited to the Marina Hotel and many shops are closed) 3. Some of the equipment/in room facilities require repair eg. Shower head 4. Aircond is not switched on in many areas(maybe due to low occupancy) The positive part of the hotel: 1. Very friendly and polite staff in the hotel from receiption, restaurant, security guards to the housekeeping team. Good job everyone. 2. The room is neat and tidy. Sufficient towels and amenities are provided. 3. Operator/receiption answer the phone call within three rings 4. They have promotion set meal at rm20 each which is affordable.

Strategic location with perfect beach view at our balcony and will stay here again

Beautiful place, both the pools were great and they had enough activities to keep kids busy. Room was excellent with comfy and clean sheets/towels. Personally enjoyed the bicycle rides and walks within the resort. Buffet spread was good and in room dining was good too. Will visit again

Beautiful rooms and resort! The infinity pool facing the sea was gorgeous! Our room and toilet were beautiful! The private pool was great but the water can be cold. It would be great if there could be a heater for the pool. There were a lot of insects (but it is understandable due to being surrounded by rainforest) so if you hate insects, do not stay in the rainforest room. We took the ocean room and it was already quite much lol. Our stay was AH-MAY-ZING. It was so private and luxurious. The staff were all very friendly and everyone showered our baby with so much love! We were deeply impressed and if you asked if we were ever going to stay there again, i would say “in a heartbeat!”. Thank you everyone for the amazing stay!
