Top Istana Besar Hotel Reviews
Holiday Inn Express & Suites Johor Bahru by IHG
10/10 Excellent
"Spacious"
R&F Princess Cove by FUJU & 5mins to ClQ
10/10 Excellent
"Been there a few time. My go to jb stay"
Sheraton Johor Bahru
8/10 Good
"Everything was great, except that the room type had a connecting room. The soundproof was not that great as we had guest on the other room. It wasn’t bad but do take note that if you are sensitive to noise you could hear some noise next door."
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."
Suasana JB Central by TPL
10/10 Excellent
"Breakfast at level 34 was nice. highest cafe in all of JB"
