Top Sultan Abu Bakar Royal Palace Museum Hotel Reviews

Capri by Fraser Johor Bahru

8/10 Good

"The area is quite and amenities around needs to walk, very near to CIQ and self drive can be challenged. A good location for short stay for work."

Amari Johor Bahru

10/10 Excellent

"Really like the clean bedsheets and pillows, clean room and amenities. Fast check in and check out, friendly staffs. Things to improve, reading lights near the bed, and vanity mirror in the toilet. Please make a retractable mirror, personally find it hard to use. For a very short person I can’t even see my face clearly without wearing my specs and how to make up? no point gluing it at the wall. Just my point of view, overall it’s a great stay."
