5-Star Hotels in Johor, Malaysia

Very conveniently located near to KSL mall and other amenities around the area. Room was clean and have facilities for guests to enjoy. But food variety for buffet was so so, and the water spray from shower head in my room was weird..instead of spraying in one direction, the water sprayed out downwards and also to the left, resulting in a weak water pressure and turning the tap only makes the water spray all over the place even more. Did not call front desk to change room or get a plumber as it is too much of a hassle. Decent for the price paid overall but could do some maintenance.

Smooth check in process. Location is near CIQ but abit out of the way if you don't drive. However they offer complimentary shuttle to nearby location. The staffs were friendly and helpful. The room is big and comfy. Generally clean. However they only offer 2 sets of fork and spoon, 2 glasses and 2 big plates. Just wondering why not W bowls as well. But no biggie. My room has the city view and it is near a mosque so you get to hear the daily prayers. One down side is that the hotel is abit dated. E.g. like the bathroom, the floor tiles has came off and need to be careful if you have young or elderly with you. If they slip might cut themselves. Look at the pictures. Also for my room, the toilet has 2 blinds. Even after rolling down, there is a gap between the 2 blinds and I could see the block beside, where the bedroom window is facing the toilet. So if I can see them, they too can see whoever is in the bathroom too. I don't think the windows are tinted. So have to be careful especially ladies. Overall it was a decent and comfy stay.

I am a frequent stayer of Amari JB Hotel. Overall, my experience at the Hotel was excellent. The combination of good service, comfortable rooms, and convenient amenities made for a memorable stay. Overall, a great choice if you’re in Johor Bahru. I’d definitely stay here again! Highly recommend.

Some areas within the resort looks used and needs refurbishment. The hotel provides a surprise for my birthday. There were balloons and congratory words on the mirror and a chocolate cake in the mini fridge. Appreciate their effort to provide refillable shower gel, shampoo and conditioner. Also 4 refilled glass bottled water upon arrival. However when the room was refreshed on the 2nd day, they provided plastic bottles water which we didn't understand why. As we stayed for 3D2N, and it was raining intermittently, there was not much to do but chill in the room and go to the gym. There were 3 restaurant options within the hotel. Decent food variety with 1. International spread, 1 with seafood and 1 with Italian food.

Had a great experience, service was good and generally very prompt. Breakfast had a wide variety of options. Staff are warm and friendly. The only thing that they need to improve would be the swimming pool ladders. It was shaky for both off them and there was a screw protruding out of the ladder and could be hazardous to any guest. The refurbished room was excellent.

I’ve been wanting to try renaissance for so long and glad that we finally did! It’s under Marriott hence standards are definitely up there - hotel buffet breakfast that everyone is raving about, great room, space and amenities (24 hours gym and sauna room). Trust this review that mid valley southkey is a better option vs the aeon you see from the window. We walked there (not really a proper linked walkway, walking side by side with moving cars) and took about 10 mins and to cross the overhead bridge too, the mall has nothing 😭 not a proper restaurant but it’s similar to sg’s g*ant hyper mart at tampines. overall, recommended to stay here! just take note on the location~ 10/10 on all except the location but if you just wanna chill and relax in, this is perfect.

My stay at Hard Rock Hotel was absolutely splendid! We had a wonderful time as a family, along with my in-laws. It was our first time at HRH, and it definitely won’t be our last. The staff were incredibly friendly, the location was easily accessible, and we loved the live band. The breakfast buffet was amazing, with so many options that we were truly spoiled for choice. My personal favorite was the bread pudding with sauce—simply delicious! The swimming pool was perfect for my 9- and 12-year-old daughters, and we were treated to a delightful welcome drink upon arrival—a Ribena mocktail that I couldn’t stop sipping. The hotel is very kid-friendly, and eating out was a breeze with convenient nearby options. I highly recommend the seafood at One Utama—it was fresh and absolutely worth the price. Another must-try is the Woodfire restaurant, known for their huge, thick burgers loaded with sauce. They even provide gloves to keep things neat and mess-free. Overall, I’d give this experience a perfect 100! I’m already looking forward to staying here again during the December holidays. Thank you, HRH, for the warm hospitality! Xoxo.

Address : 7 Jalan LEGOLAND, Bandar Medini Iskandar Malaysia, 79250 Iskandar Puteri (Nusajaya), Johor, Malaysia. Unfortunately, we booked a themed room called kingdom, which has only a city view, unlike a pirate themed room and adventure themed room, they have a great Legoland view. Although the room rates are the same. Rooms include 2 separate sleeping areas, with a king-sized bed for adults, and a separate area for up to 3 children, complete with bunk bed, pull-out trundle bed and their very own TV. The TV for kids is malfunctioning. Swimming pool at 5th floor Rating: 4 stars Average price per person: MYR500

The hotel stay was delightful. The room is spacious with everything working perfectly. Breakfast is delicious with variety to choose from. Facilities within the hotel too was superb. With their creativity, they eventually made an outdoor gym using woods that they recycle and also beach swing which is the plus point. Credits to the hotel technician team for their hardwork to build it.

a perfect place to relax and escape from the hustle and bustle of the city. the room is very spacious, the view overlooking the pool from the balcony of the room is very beautiful, but the night is too dark. if you turn on the lights, the pool area and golf area must be even more beautiful. a hearty breakfast. The staff is also good, very helpful. will return to stay here for sure. **before arriving, I read people's reviews because of mosquitoes. and I managed to catch 4 mosquitoes and think will report to the resort but apparently in the morning i just know that my husband did not close the balcony door. it's all his fault because he slept soundly. I can't sleep because busy catching the mosquitoes 🤣. really fun experience actually

Pros: Breakfast spread quite wide and taste not bad. Cons: Cleanliness needs to be improved as we can see some food crumbs under the sofa. Thinking to use bathtub after a long journey but when we on it the water is like yellow-ish. It makes us to stop the thought of using that bathtub. More convenient to those whose drive car cos the hotel location quite “ulu”. Nothing much can shop and dine there. Btw a Hard Rock Cafe is over there.

Forest City Marina Hotel is a resort hotel by the sea with a view of Singapore. The receiptionist are very polite and helpful. We checked in at the hotel on 17 October 2020 and the whole check in process was fast and took us less than 10 minutes from queuing to getting the room keys. The room is very spacious and big. It is equipped with wifi connectivity, big screen tv, a variety of tv channels, a chiller, bathrobes and complimentary mineral water. The bathroom/toilet comes with a bathtub and separate shower and the size is big and spacious. The room also have a balcony facing the seaview and Singapore. The downside of the hotel: 1. It’s located very far from JB city and after 8pm, the Forest City seems to be a dead city. 2. Some of the facilities are not open to the public(eg. Only one swimming pool is open out of the many swimming pools, facilities around the resort are limited to the Marina Hotel and many shops are closed) 3. Some of the equipment/in room facilities require repair eg. Shower head 4. Aircond is not switched on in many areas(maybe due to low occupancy) The positive part of the hotel: 1. Very friendly and polite staff in the hotel from receiption, restaurant, security guards to the housekeeping team. Good job everyone. 2. The room is neat and tidy. Sufficient towels and amenities are provided. 3. Operator/receiption answer the phone call within three rings 4. They have promotion set meal at rm20 each which is affordable.

Beautiful place, both the pools were great and they had enough activities to keep kids busy. Room was excellent with comfy and clean sheets/towels. Personally enjoyed the bicycle rides and walks within the resort. Buffet spread was good and in room dining was good too. Will visit again

Beautiful rooms and resort! The infinity pool facing the sea was gorgeous! Our room and toilet were beautiful! The private pool was great but the water can be cold. It would be great if there could be a heater for the pool. There were a lot of insects (but it is understandable due to being surrounded by rainforest) so if you hate insects, do not stay in the rainforest room. We took the ocean room and it was already quite much lol. Our stay was AH-MAY-ZING. It was so private and luxurious. The staff were all very friendly and everyone showered our baby with so much love! We were deeply impressed and if you asked if we were ever going to stay there again, i would say “in a heartbeat!”. Thank you everyone for the amazing stay!
