Romantic Hotels in Johor, Malaysia

I booked a king room, but when I arrived, I was given a twin room. After some discussion, they told me the twin beds could be combined to make a king bed. However, there were bloodstains and some other unidentified marks on the bed. The toilet and desk also had cup stains and other dirt. The hygiene was definitely not up to par. On the positive side, the breakfast was excellent with many choices, and the location was great, right above a shopping mall.

We enjoyed to eat durian near to R&F Mall. View Singapore is superbbb.. We enjoyed the facities at Level 8. Sauna, outdoor gym with nice view. The homestay we checked in have an excellent assist from Ms Jia En (Fuju Customer Service Team) *Highly recommended to stay at R&F Princess by Fuju*

Might have over expectation for this hotel. Check in late that night after late dinner. Bathroom water heater was not working, maintenance team came over spent an hour and didn’t fixed. Was told to leave the shower tap and basin tap open for 30-40mins, still warm/hot water are not available for shower. Didn’t manage to get to change my room due to hotel was full that day. Room 16-46 So end up that night, shower with cold water. Toilet seat was dirty too. 🥲 Overall clean, but some hidden areas are dirty.

Stayed at Z hotel for 2 nights during Christmas. The hotel was walking distance from JB Sentral and right beside a police station. The room was big, toilet design could be better but all in all alright. Room was mostly clean except some mold on the top of the bathroom ceiling and the hangers. Had a cute little surprise from the hotel team for Christmas, a little plushie. Appreciate the cute gesture.

Fuss free, great location, spacious room, clean hotel. Enjoyed the stay here. Nice buffet breakfast, international spread. Only traffic outside was bad during certain hours. Otherwise, we had a great lovely stay here. Managed to visit the monday pasar malam nearby.

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 stay was very comfortable and pleasant. The room was clean, tidy, and well-maintained. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout our stay. The location is convenient and easy to access. Highly recommended and would definitely stay here again

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).

I’m giving this hotel 3 stars because it delivers exactly that — a textbook 3-star experience. If you’re walking from JB CIQ, take a moment to pray for your luggage wheels. The cobblestone pavement on the way is a certified durability test for any suitcase. The reception staff, to their credit, were professional and efficient, setting the stay off on a positive note. There’s no air-conditioning in the corridors on the way from the lobby to the rooms, which makes sense once you feel the lobby itself — it’s cooled to near polar conditions, possibly at the expense of the upper floors. The lobby even has a convenience stall with tables and chairs — great for a quick snack or late-night instant noodle run. The fact that they sell noodles complete with disposable bowls almost makes it feel planned. I stayed on the 19th floor in a room that could politely be described as functional. It came with two sockets, a few hangers in an open closet, and no mini-fridge, so don’t bring anything perishable unless you plan to eat it immediately. The vinyl flooring showed signs of wear, and a quick look under the bed revealed a generous collection of dust. The AC was the old-school fan coil type, and thankfully, it worked perfectly fine. The bathroom, however, turned into an adventure of its own. The shower head was fixed in place, the glass partition far too short, and the result was a small-scale water park after every shower — fun only if you enjoy slipping hazards. The toilet needed a two-flush routine, and the bidet hose leaked enough to make using it a careful balancing act. Then there was the Great Towel Shortage. Despite two guests, we received one face towel. There was no hand soap either — only the all-purpose shampoo dispenser in the shower. When housekeeping came, they simply rehung the used towels instead of replacing them. The lone face towel, which I’d pressed into service to mop up the flooded floor, was removed and never replaced. We ended up with just two towels for our second night. I was too tired to argue. Breakfast was a pleasant surprise — the buffet was reasonably priced and had a good range of options. Overall, this hotel is best suited for travelers who can adapt and aren’t thrown off by a few inconveniences. If you’re the kind of person who enjoys finding creative solutions when things don’t go perfectly, you might even appreciate it here. But if you’re after consistent comfort, you’ll probably want to look elsewhere. Staying here is a bit like driving a reliable car with no seat cushions — it gets you where you need to go, but the ride won’t be entirely comfortable.

Have stayed here a few times and remains a favourite place to put up in when in Johor. Well maintained and clean, and excellent, comfortable large beds.
