Top Istana Pasir Pelangi Hotel Reviews

Novotel Johor Bahru City Centre

10/10 Excellent

"Very new hotel just behind a good Chinese massage center with food choices downstairs. KSL is just a short walk away too. The pool is more for wading and since it is next to the conference rooms there is not much privacy"

Sheraton Johor Bahru

10/10 Excellent

"The hotels is new and well maintained, the water playground is fun and sufficient for my children. The breakfast come with a variety,"

R&F Princess Cove by FUJU & 5mins to ClQ

10/10 Excellent

Space Residency Premier Suites Johor Bahru

8/10 Good

Space Residency by A----Walk 100m to KSL

10/10 Excellent

"This was a very comfortable place to stay during our trip to Johor Bahru. The apartment was tidy, the bed was comfortable, and all the basic facilities we needed were available. What impressed us most was the customer service. They responded quickly, explained everything clearly, and were always willing to help. The surrounding area is convenient as well, with lots of restaurants and places to shop nearby. We had a great experience overall and would happily recommend this place to our friends."

Holiday Villa Johor Bahru City Centre

10/10 Excellent

"Everything about the hotel is beyond my expectations except for a minor flaw in the short shower hose. Location wise is perfect for exploring local delicacy and needless to say, variety of amazing shops in KSL mall. Highly recommended. My booking was inclusive of good breakfast and free parking."

DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Johor Bahru

8/10 Good

"Free parking, staff service excellent. Surrounding hotel under construction so location messy not so nice"

Holiday Inn Johor Bahru City Centre by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Just next to CIQ. Will be glad that you are so close to the customs and can just dump the bag before going to shop in KSL or Southkey. In July 2026 the City Square is undergoing renovations so there is not much to shop so take note of that. Everything should be back to normal when the new MRT station opens that links to Singapore. The hotel is modern, new and very welcoming. Did not have breakfast at the hotel but went to the old town to have my nasi lemak and hainanese coffee."

Crystal Crown Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Normal and abit old. Nothing much to say"
