Best hotel in Johor Bahru ?

[Papsmearer]

If you are driving, or if you don't mind having to take a taxi to the hotel, there is a relatively new hotel not far from KSL - Grand Paragon. There is a hawker centre behind the hotel, as I have been told. It's walking distance to KSL, though I don't find KSL appealing at all.

But this is a new hotel.

Inside also got spa, but girl selection not as good as GBW

My second favorite is Grand Bluewave Hotel. This hotel has what @syed putra wants - massage by Chinese girls.

However, if you are not driving, this hotel is a long walk from City Square and JB Sentral. You have to climb up and down the overhead bridge in order to access the skywalk. Not ideal when you carry a luggage, however small.

Nonetheless, the rooms are spacious, and it feels luxurious. It has a proper lobby for you to laze around, and one of the best buffet breakfast in Johor Bahru.

Wow, you know how to walk there?
I still remember got WL can CIM, But that was so 20 years back.

There is another one called Hallmark Regency. It's next to Grand Paragon, and it's among the cheapest in Johor Bahru, but a very proper hotel with a high-ceiling lobby. The low price comes with breakfast as well, and like Grand Paragon, there is a food center behind the building. Apart from KSL, you can also walk to Pelangi for shopping.

The skywalk from JB Sentral which was built for (and possibly built by) R&F Mall. You get down before it crosses the road to R&F Mall, and you walk up the slope. It feels like a 5-star hotel, and a very famous food center is just next to it.

I once booked a spot far from where most guests stayed and half of them showed up late. Since then, I always go for somewhere close to avoid wahala like that.

Tried the one next to City Square, super convenient for food and shopping, plus the rooms were clean and quiet. Good for a short getaway, no issues with check-in either.
