R&F Princess Cove JB By SaffronCasa JB"The location is great. It is just 15min from JB CIQ. There are many food options and Jaya Grocer is available for other needs. Staff are extremely friendly and helpful. The room is extremely comfortable with lots of amenities. Main complaint is the noise. I stayed on the 13rd floor on Friday and Saturday. The motorcycle noise from the road (apartment facing a major road) is unbearable. It continued until 2 to 3am on both night. I initally thought there was a F1 bike race but it is just heavy...

Top Johor Bahru Hotel Reviews
Space Residency by A----Walk 100m to KSL
"The unit is managed by The Avery Management located on 2nd floor next to Tower A Lift Lobby. The Avery Management staff are young friendly & helpful, They are willing to go the extra to help. Space Residency is well located. Will revommend to consider units maanged by Avery Management."
Novotel Johor Bahru City Centre
"The location of the property is near and convenient to get around to nearby places. Sound insulation for room isn't great. Noise could be heard quite clearly from people talking and the aircon or fan humming."
Capri by Fraser Johor Bahru
"Quiet and private location with a modern twist. Great place to stay."
DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Johor Bahru
"Free parking, staff service excellent. Surrounding hotel under construction so location messy not so nice"
Holiday Inn Johor Bahru City Centre by IHG
"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."
Holiday Villa Johor Bahru City Centre
"Clean room & Staff"
R&F Princess Cove by FUJU & 5mins to ClQ
"Clean rooms! Customer Service is very helpful with fast replies. No complains. Will come back in the future."
Grand Paragon Hotel Johor Bahru
"Room is big and spacious. Location is good as near to KSL. Only thing for improvement will be to provide more toiletries and if there is a hand hold shower head rather than just the fixed one."
Sheraton Johor Bahru
"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."
