"Good location - very comparable to the 3-4 star hotels around. (ie: New York, KSL, Gp, etc)
Parking is good, and my vehicle feels safe(compared to other hotels).
Ample food options at the ground level as well."
"I recently stayed at this 3-room apartment near the sea, and it was everything I hoped for and more! The location is unbeatable — just a short walk to the beach, with stunning ocean views from the balcony.
The apartment itself was spacious, clean, and very well-equipped."
"Great property in Johor Bahru, within shopping mall and lots of dining options available. Highly recommended for couples, families, big group and tour groups "

"Super lots of food options by foot!!!! Bed comfort & amenities can further enhance, no 'DND' signage provide. Hence daily cleaning was done & needed to request for 02 half size towels, which was originally placed in the room upon checking in. "
"Value for the money, its spacious and also clean which is what we are looking for. However, the roads around it are narrow and often gets jammed since they are within walking distance of CIQ. Other than that, will definitely come back and stay! Oh they also have a free shuttle to CIQ, good to check the frequency :)"
"Holiday Villa Johor Bahru was situated at a good location, whereby just across the street is the KSL mall and also along the road there are a few eateries and massage shops throughout the day🙂🙂🙂. Room and facilities at the hotel are spacious and clean. Not to forget to the housekeeper who clean the Room 1228 for the period 27th July to 28th July 2025. Thank you for all the staffs who make the stay here a pleasant trip😘😘😘. We will be coming back here again whenever we coming in to Johor. Breakfast buffet was quite standard and I like the ambience and the varieties of foods that was available. Good job to the management and to all staffs at Holiday Villa Johor Bahru👍👍👍"

"Hotel lift does not require card access so anyone can go into the hotel corridors. Banging sounds every half an hour or so from 11pm all the way into the am. I was terrified for my life. Not sure if anyone's room got broken into or if staff is doing laundry. Cleanliness is not great, there was hair on the towels, mould on the walls, and the room smells very musty. I had the worst hotel stay of my life. Check in and check out were quick and smooth and there are a few restaurants and a mart just downstairs."
"Good location with many eateries, lot of shopping, very easy to get Grab to visit other places. Fast check in and out. Simple with video guide given for check in was great help. My first choice for future visit to Johor Bahru."
