Top Central District Hotel Reviews

Novotel Johor Bahru City Centre

8/10 Good

"Very clean room n staff very helpful n polite. Surrounding with great Foodie stalls"

Amari Johor Bahru

10/10 Excellent

"Bad thing is the mini mirror in the toilet, make it retractable and pls change shampoo and conditioner. Even my relatives complain the about it, not even nice smelling at all, after washing so rough and horrible. Stayed for quite a few times, really like the convenience of the pickup location, clean room and bedsheets."

DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Johor Bahru

10/10 Excellent

"The room was clean, comfortable, and nicely presented. I especially loved the welcome biscuit and drink, which was a nice touch. However, the dinner could be better. The food selection was quite limited, and there wasn’t anything particularly special or memorable about it."
