What guests think

At Holiday Villa Johor Bahru City Centre, travellers praise the convenient location beside KSL Mall and generally spacious rooms, while noting ageing interiors, maintenance quirks, and occasional cleanliness lapses such as bathtub drainage issues, odors, or pests.

Facilities include a rooftop infinity pool and sauna, with mixed feedback on the gym's temperature and upkeep. Breakfast is frequently described as adequate to good with variety, but can be crowded, slow to refill, or served lukewarm. Service is often friendly, though several guests reported disorganized or slow check-in and key card problems. Expect a convenient, value-focused stay with strengths in location but variable consistency.

I'm a solo female traveler. It is 1 minute walk from KSL mall, so it share the same easy access to shops, mall, food .. with a better hotel experience. Hotel has sophisticated large/clean/nice bed/proper toiletries, swimming pool, sauna, lounge, karaoke, great breakfast, nice staff .. they accept my late check-out. I feel safe, comfortable so I'd visit more often.

Love the room and bathroom space, love the wide windows, the walking distant to KSL and some F&B. Can improve with some (not all) customer services, the TV channels and what guests have to park at level 4 & 5 where the driveways up and down are so narrow, add a handhold shower option in the shower, repair the shaky bathroom holders and faulty bathtub stopper.

We chose the hotel for its location as Thai Odyssey was within the same building. The breakfast was crowded but there was a good choice. The infinity pool was pretty but rather small. There was an odour in the corridors and room despite the non-smoking sign. No wow factor in the room.

The rooms are clean and reasonably comfortable but very dated. The lifts need better maintenance, 2 of 4 had faulty control panels which meant that I couldn't always select the floor I wanted. The pool and sauna are great, however some padded seat covers for the sun lounges would be a great improvement. The gym is like a sauna, no a/c which makes it stifling and uncomfortable to use. Reception staff while being friendly and engaging need greater training, our check-in was really challenging. Breakfast is good, a broad range of food available both local and international. Eggs can be scrambled, fried or omelette but usually like much of the food it is cold by the time you get it which makes it unappetising. This hotel has some great qualities, it's location and friendly staff but needs some significant improvement.

Power failure in the morning for a few hours shown that hotel do not have proper back up plan for electricity supply, during these few hours only one lift and dinning area were in operation.

Stayed one night on New Year Day and was utterly disappointed at how the hotel has deteriorated through the years. Have always been my choice of hotel in JB but after trying other hotels in JB for the past 1year, have decided to stay for a night at Holiday Villa after driving back from KL. Check-in was efficient but upon reaching level 15 of the hotel, the lift lobby carpet were mouldy with a foul smell that stretches to my room. Entered my room and the carpet in my room were wet and mouldy with the foul smell as well. There were no effort to remove the stains (possibly hair dye or other brownish products) left by previous customers as the flooring of the shower area were stained with those. Doesn't give a clean and comfy feeling to rest on after a long drive.

Location was most convenient. Hotel staff were friendly and helpful. The only flaw we noticed was the way water gets trapped between the bathtub and the glass panel. There is no way to drain the water and it accumulates around the edge of the bathtub and overflows onto the bathroom flooring which makes it very slippery. The bathroom floor towel is soggy and messy and adds to the discomfort of the toilet.

Walls were quite thin and we could hear people talking from the connecting room. Called them and told them about the situation. The first operator told me he could only offer to downgrade my room as there were no other rooms available. I politely proceed to ask for ear plugs. He placed me on hold to check if there are any ear plugs and after awhile, the line got cut. Called operated again and another operator replied “no earplugs”. Told me that the only way will be to downgrade my room and without any form of compensation. She gave the “take it or leave it” attitude. I even have to suggest they give the opposite room guest a call. Very disappointed with the way they handled the situation and also the service levels of a 4 star hotel.

The location is superb. It is just walking distance to KSL Mall and many food options. However, the room aircon cannot be adjusted. It stayed at 19 degC. It was super cold even when the aircon was switched off. My husband and I had sleepless night on the 1st night. On the 2nd day, we complained and a technician came in. The night was bearable. The make-up mirror was dangling on one side as one screw was loose, I think the hotel management need to really spruce up the hotel to be a real 4 star hotel.

The only room I know, that you can enjoy your time in the bathtub whilst enjoying the nice high rise view outside. Love the premium suite here. And the convenience around the area. The management needs to improve on the hotel’s customer service especially at the lobby, for checking in and out. 3 times booked a room there - but often met with cold reception. The younger ones were immature. Overheard in Malay their comments. Better keep their sarcasm to themselves. We book a hotel room to chill and relax. The hotel should really improve on their customer service.

KSL mall is just opp the hotel, mid valley was about 8 mins by grab. Breakfast was simple but enough. Basic breakfast choices, the nasi lemak was good. Room is big, toilet is big and clean. However, we could hear the outside noises even though we were on a high floor. And we could hear our neighbour talking too. Light sleepers should take note. The room basically wasnt sound proofed at all. Would stay here again but with ear plugs.

The hotel is in dire need of a major refurbishment. Beyond the physical state, the check-in process was horrendous and significantly detracted from the guest experience before we even reached our room. Upon arrival, staff were observed scrambling to locate the credit card machine for deposits, repeatedly going in and out of the backroom to photocopy passports, and there was a complete lack of a proper queuing system. This disorganization led to a 25-minute check-in time, exacerbated by guests bypassing the line and approaching other counters, and slow service from the staff. My deepest sympathy goes to one particular trainee staff member who was left unattended at the first counter, handling a long queue with no assistance. Guests were seen bypassing her entirely to go to other counters, highlighting the severity of the understaffing and inadequate training support.

Wrong Room Number Given on Key Card: Upon check-in, I was assigned Room #1914, but the front desk wrote the wrong number #1913 on my key card. As a result, I was unable to access the room and instead tried to open another guest’s room #1913. To my great embarrassment, that guest opened the door, thinking someone was attempting to enter. Room Key Cards Stopped Working: Aug 13, when we got back to hotel at night, both room keys suddenly stopped working. I had to travel from the 19th floor to the ground floor to get them replaced. The front desk issued new keys, but they still failed. I then had to call for help and wait for staff to come up and fix the lock before I could re-enter my room. As of today, there has been no response from the Holiday Villa Management after repeated attempts.
