This is not my first stay at St. Giles Southkey Johor, and it remains one of my favourite hotels in Johor. Once again, it was a pleasant and comfortable experience. The online customer service was very helpful, which I truly appreciate.
However, I feel that the breakfast buffet could use some changes, as the selection has been the same for quite some time and can feel a little repetitive.
Overall, I still enjoy staying here and would return again.
The room was very clean and spacious, with two bedrooms and two bathrooms, and the beds were very comfortable. Toiletries were provided, so you wouldn't need to bring your own unless you have very specific requirements.
One highlight was the excellent view from the sea-view room. You could see the customs checkpoint where cars lined up in long queues at night, resembling a winding, fiery dragon.
The apartment has a kitchen with basic cooking utensils. If you're staying for a while and want to cook, you can just buy some seasonings and start right away.
The kitchen's balcony has a washing machine with a drying function, and there's an iron in the room. The large balcony also features a retractable clothes rack, which is very convenient. A TV is also provided in the room.
Another thing worth mentioning is the beautiful complex itself, which has a rubber track. Taking a stroll in the evening with the sea breeze was very pleasant. There's a skybridge connecting the complex to a shopping mall, so dining isn't an issue. The mall also has a supermarket, making it convenient for groceries.
If you plan to go to Singapore, you can simply follow the signs through the skybridge to the mall and then directly to JB Central. From there, it's a 5-minute train ride straight to Singapore.
This place is suitable for young travelers, family vacations, or even seniors looking for a long-term stay.

It’s was a very last minute decision to made a 2days 1 night stay at KSL resort hotel because I wanted to do some CNY shopping & also do my medi & pedi cure and also a foot massage , so KSL was the post location to do all this within the same place , I was given a room on the 24th floor with bathtub and a king size bed , nice view & clean room , what more can I ask for 🤭they even let me check in early at 12noon instead of 3pm , lots of nice food around KSL & I’m sure to booked this hotel again because of its location and clean nice room.

I and my hubby stayed at 16 floor, sea view and city view. Nice view from my room.
Everything is good. Except : there is no power point at coffee service table. I have to bring the kettle to another power point to boil the water for coffee.
Air-conditioning has abit of noise when comes to low temperature and fan power. Could have bathrobe would be better.
Private bathroom, the glass door is not tight enough when close . Water will flow out and the whole toilet is “ flooded “.
There is no bathroom tissues. If provides would be very nice. No face towel, if can provide will be perfect .
Coffee bag is nice when make with half cup of water.
Staffs are very helpful and friendly.
Will come again if going JB. And I also recommend to my friends and relatives once I came back SG.
Hopefully, what I have mentioned above, next trip will see the difference.

This is my second time staying at this hotel, and I'm still very satisfied. The service quality is consistently good, and the breakfast selection is quite rich. It offers great value for money. Its biggest advantage is being right next to KSL shopping mall, making dining, shopping, massages, and other entertainment super convenient. Plus, there are plenty of street-side shops around, so it's incredibly easy to grab bak kut teh or durian. I'll probably stay here again next time I visit.
I chose Opero Hotel Southkey for my recent trip to Johor Bahru, and I was very satisfied with the overall experience. It's a hotel with excellent value for money.
📍 The location is incredibly convenient:
The hotel is right next to Mid Valley Southkey Mall, just a few minutes' walk downstairs. Eating, shopping, and buying things are completely hassle-free, making it perfect for short trips or weekend getaways.
🛏️ Room Experience:
The room was clean, with a simple and modern design. The bed was very comfortable, and the soundproofing was good, so it was quiet at night.
The bathroom had stable water pressure and plenty of hot water. The overall maintenance was excellent; it didn't feel like an old hotel at all.
🍽️ Full Marks for Lifestyle Convenience:
* The mall offers a huge variety (restaurants, cafes, supermarkets, massage, beauty products – you name it).
* It's super convenient for late-night snacks, coffee, or buying daily necessities.
* No need to take a special taxi to the city center; you can still have a great time.
🚗 Transportation & Getting Around:
* From Singapore, you can take a Grab directly after clearing CIQ.
* The hotel has parking spaces, so it's convenient if you're driving.
* Taking a taxi to the city center, KSL, or City Square is also a short ride.
💬 Service Experience:
The front desk staff were friendly, and both check-in and check-out were smooth.
Responses to questions were quick, which was reassuring.
✨ In summary:
If you're looking for a clean, quiet, super convenient hotel near a mall in Johor Bahru, you really can't go wrong with Opero Hotel Southkey. The breakfast was delicious too.
It's suitable for couples, friends, or short weekend stays. I'd definitely stay here again on my next visit to JB 👍

The environment here is beautiful, it's just a shame the swimming pool upstairs is a bit damaged. If that could be fixed, it would be absolutely perfect. The security is also very professional, with security guards patrolling 24 hours a day.

The location is great, very close to the train station, but traffic can be really bad. When trying to book a Grab back to the hotel, many drivers either wouldn't accept the ride or canceled it. Some who did accept would complain or make passive-aggressive comments in the car, even dropping us off by the roadside.
Aside from that, everything else was good. The hotel's service and facilities are excellent, and the rooms are large and bright. They even have a microwave, fridge, and an electronic scale. Breakfast was decent (it would be even better if they didn't fry eggs indoors, as it makes your clothes and hair smell of cooking oil).

My second time stay here. Booked 2 rooms. The rooms are small but all clean and good. Except for the powerpoint for my water boiler. Its slightly behind the TV. So not that easy to reach. This is for my Deluxe Twin room.
Wifi is not gd. In the day its better.
Ordered in Zus Coffee for breakfast.
Amenities are all round this hotel
Our second stay in this hotel after 1.5 years. The hotel is still well maintained. The front desk staff were friendly and helpful. They will greet you every time when you pass by. The room has a sofa which you can request for extra bedsheet, blanket and pillow for a child to sleep so it is perfect for a family of 3. They provide basic amenities. Food varieties also reasonable and I saw some improvement. This time they invested a fresh orange juicer machine so that guest gets to drink fresh juice.
Overall good, will come back again if they are able to maintain the affordable price.
