"Been there a few time. My go to jb stay"
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"
Atelier Hotel Johor Bahru
