Hotel in Johor Bahru

Country forums / South-East Asia Islands & Peninsula / Malaysia

Before catching a flight from Singapore we are staying 1 night in Johor Bahru, as it's cheaper than Singapore. Any recommendations for a nice hotel? We dont't mind paying a bit more (around 100.- USD), because it's our last night before returning home...

You'll already be in JB before flying out of S'pore the next day? Check out Doubletree by Hilton.

The Tune Hotel in Johor Bahru is not as expensive as your budget but they have everything one needs for a safe, happy overnight stay. You could take one of their tour desk's buses over to the Marina Bay casino for a diversion. JB has very few good quality hotels, in my experience after 23 visits there.

Smart move over-nighting in JB. Singapore is much over-rated and over-priced for mine. And besides, you are free to chew gum in JB if you so desire. And you can't put a price on that, especially if you suffer from RJS.
