Top Central District Hotel Reviews

St. Giles Southkey

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed here many times, always love the location with the mall next door. This time I came with my wheelchair-user mum and for my birthday. The hotel surprised me with balloons, cake and a card on arrival. Such a sweet and thoughtful gesture. Thank you for making my day so special. Will definitely return"

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."
