Location is good. Shopping mall is just below the hotel. Staffs are friendly. However, hotel breakfast is worst compared to other hotels in JB. There is a wide range of varieties but all of poor quality and worst taste. Worst of all, breakfast in inclusive during hotel booking. Can’t opt out. Not worth to pay hotel room with breakfast. I stayed 3 nights but chose to eat their breakfast twice only.
I had a very pleasant stay at this service apartment. I was pleasantly surprised to receive a room upgrade during check-in, which made the experience even better. The house was spacious, clean, comfortable, and fully equipped with everything needed for a convenient stay.
The location is also a big plus, as it is nearby to shopping malls and many useful amenities, making it very convenient to get around. The check-in process was smooth and easy, which made the whole stay hassle-free from the beginning.
Overall, it was a comfortable and enjoyable stay, and I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a convenient and well-equipped accommodation.

Everything was great, just had a little trouble finding the place, wasn't sure which building it was near, like whether it was the same building as CartonKing. It would be best to include a daytime photo of the building.
After getting the room card and elevator card, I had a bit of difficulty with the elevator, but it was fine after I figured it out.
It was very convenient that there were staff members available at each elevator entrance on the second floor to ask questions! Thank you!

However 2 feedback
When we were checking in on a Sat eve at 5pm we were waiting for 6 rooms almost 45 mins and we were the only ones.
Not sure whats the delay caused by as i noyice the staff attending to us was looking at his screen for a long time.
Safety Proposal
While your toilet is spacious there is a high risk of falls esp for kids and elderly as yr toilet shower area does not have the safty gran bars to steady ourselves while imunder the shower and soaping on a slippery wet floor without friction.
The tiles should be layered with rought or fast drying texture for safety.
So either lace the tile surface or installl saftey bars or both.
Do review this urgently..No one should fall inside the toilet while bathing esp since its only the overhead rain shower and no handheld shower piece.
Hope this suggestion help to prevent accidental falls waiting to happen.

Had a great stay at Holiday Inn Johor Bahru City Centre for the 2nd time! Staff were friendly and the room was comfortable. Location is super convenient too.
One concern though - the lift access to guest floors felt a bit too open. Anyone can press the button and get up to the floors, even with the card reader being overridden. Feels like a safety risk, especially in a busy city centre hotel. Hope they look into beefing up security for guests' peace of mind.
Overall, would still recommend - but hope they address this!”
Decided to book last minute - initially cant book for family of 2A2C.
WhatsApp them, replies was….sluggish.
Finally manage to book and the room was…not like the initial ones. Previous booking it was really great. Room size room cleanliness.
The room we got was small but there’s multiple hairs on the carpet. Especially with kids, that was just a no no.
Call them via the phone provided, was put on hold and the line got cut off 🙂
Tried calling again, took quite a while before finally got connected.
Upgrade the room for RM80.
Whatever that was book on trip wasn’t as per advertised.
Second, it was drizzling. So we went downstairs to take a look at the swimming area. There’s no towels. Call the front desk ask if the swimming pool is open, they mention “I think it’s open”
Breakfast was subpar.

Great Location & Excellent Service!
Citrus Hotel Johor Bahru is a fantastic choice if you’re looking for convenience and comfort. The location is unbeatable — right in the heart of the city, close to shopping malls, restaurants, and just a short drive from the Causeway if you’re crossing to Singapore.
The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming from the moment you check in. Any requests were handled quickly and with a smile, which really made the stay feel special.
Rooms are clean, comfortable, and good value for the price. Perfect base for exploring Johor Bahru without the hassle of long commutes.
Would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting JB!

Clean room. Friendly & helpful staff. Location not so convenient cos of the RTS construction. Swimming pool & other facilities on level 13 under renovation during our stay. Shower screen glass door faulty, cannot close completely, water flow out when we shower. Whole toilet floor wet. Floor tiles not the anti fall tiles. Breakfast was so so only. Lots of varieties but taste not there. I rather they focus on fewer dishes and taste good.

A large 20-30 years old hotel building. Clean , very large guest room with city view on the high floor. Fast check in and friendly staff. Very good buffet breakfast. Good water pressure at the high floor bathroom.
None smoking rooms are available, but sometimesl smell of the smoking still coming from room ventilation.
Good room price. Will stay again if I come to Johor Baru.
Very Good

Great
Room was bright and spacious, toilet very clean and functioned well. Facilities were quite perfect - we enjoyed the swimming pool, sauna and jacuzzi + the legendary breakfast spread which really represented local cuisine at it's best! The distance to the shopping malls was very convenient. Overall, the attitude and demeanour of all the staff was pleasant. Minor issues: - One of the beds was very sandy under the quilt. I only discovered it quite late at night so didn't take the effort to call housekeeping and slept on top of the quilt instead. - The service staff at breakfast kept clearing our table completely, re-setting it and even attempting to give it away to another customer when we went to take more food, despite the occupied/reserve signage. When requested not to, they simply gave excuses that they were merely tidying up. This happened 3 times with the same service staff and made us quite frustrated.

This cute comfy stay is reward for the kids. The kids love it so much. Very convenient, easy access to Legoland and there are nearby shops and restaurants. Thanks to the owner.
We had a great stay at Hotel Granada Bukit Indah! It’s super convenient—just a short walk to AEON Mall and close to plenty of cafes, shops, and even Sutera Mall is just a short drive away. We stayed in Room 918, which had a lovely view and was spacious and clean. We really appreciated that the room wasn’t carpeted—it feels fresher and is actually our preference too. Service was prompt and friendly; we requested an extra pair of slippers and they brought it up quickly without fuss. The buffet breakfast was decent, with a good enough variety to start the day. All in all, a solid stay for the price and location—would definitely return.
We had a nice stay at the St Giles Midvalley Southkey. The hotel is very popular, and you can see it in the rooms and staff especially when it's later in the day. The best part of the hotel is its proximity to Midvalley Southkey mall. The hotel rooms are a decent size, but the towels and fittings are not new anymore, the carpet is showing signs of wear, and the bathroom is a strange open shower/sink/toilet bowl design. Nice gym and view, together with the infinity swimming pool on the roodtop, but note that it is a very cold swim due to the windchill. Breakfast buffet is very good, plenty of choices, but very crowded after 7.30am. Would love to stay again when room rates are closer to my expectations.
I recently stayed at Ramada by Wyndham Meridin Johor Bahru, and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. The location is ideal—just minutes away from Legoland, Medini Mall, and other attractions, which made it perfect for both relaxation and sightseeing. The room was spacious, clean, and modern, with a very comfortable bed and all the amenities I needed. I especially appreciated the thoughtful touches like complimentary bottled water, good-quality toiletries, and a well-stocked minibar. The views from the higher floors are lovely, offering a peaceful cityscape or greenery, depending on your room. The service was top-notch—staff were polite, attentive, and always willing to help with any requests. Check-in and check-out were smooth and efficient. The hotel also has excellent facilities, including a nice outdoor pool, gym, and a great on-site restaurant with a wide variety of local and international dishes for breakfast. Everything was well-maintained and clean. If you're visiting Johor Bahru for leisure or business, Ramada Meridin is a solid choice. It offers great value for money, comfort, and hospitality. I’ll definitely be returning!
Check in took abit long was troublesome to wait until 3pm with 4 tired senior citizens after a long jam at causeway. Otherwise the stay was great. My family enjoyed the stay. Bed was very comfortable for their tired bodies. They want to return again to stay soon.
We stayed here on the day of my son’s 4th birthday. We were told that our room would take an extra 30 minutes for birthday decorations, but we were taken aback that the towel decorations alone took 30 minutes to set up. We also requested connecting rooms, but since we had booked king rooms, they were unable to change one of our king rooms to a twin and told us to rebook. However, the rooms are big, spacious, and clean. They come with a sofa that can fit an adult to rest on. The pool and the small playground next to it were great for keeping our kids entertained. The breakfast spread was good, with a lot of choices. Location-wise, it is very good. There were supermarkets, plenty of food options (many outside the hotel), and even a laundromat.

The room was exactly as shown in the pictures—comfortable, clean, and cozy. My child especially enjoyed the stay thanks to the great amenities. The host was very accommodating and responded promptly to all messages. Overall, a 10/10 experience. I’ll definitely try other rooms on my next stay.
The highlight of my stay was the customer service. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the hotel's overall atmosphere was relaxed and family-friendly.
