Holiday Villa Johor Bahru City Centre
When in JB, there’s 2 things on every Singaporean’s agenda – visit cheap JB shopping malls, and pamper ourselves with luxurious experiences we can only afford across the border. This means that staycays are extra worth it, ’cos who wouldn’t wanna end a day of hardcore shopping at a comfy JB hotel that doesn’t break the bank?
If that sounds good to you, you might want to check out Holiday Villa Johor Bahru City Centre on your next visit. Like KSL Hotel & Resort that many of us are familiar with, this lesser-known accommodation is equally accessible, but with swankier facilities like a rooftop infinity pool.
The current exchange rate is RM1 = ~S$0.30 as of 9th January 2025.

Holiday Villa JB has 3 categories of rooms to choose from: Superior, Deluxe, and a Premium Suite. The most affordable room type – the Superior room – starts at RM470/night, while a Premium Suite costs RM780/night.
The rooms here have a clean, modern interior, complete with a pretty view of the city. Though they’re a tad pricier than the average JB accommodation, the higher-end facilities make up for it.

For instance, there’s an infinity pool on the hotel’s 23rd floor that’s perfect for a midnight swim with a view, and a sauna room for some much-needed R&R.

If you’re itching for something to do late into the night, check out the hotel’s rooftop bar, Sky 26, which has live music till midnight, a darts station, and even KTV rooms for you to belt your favourite songs in after a couple of drinks.
5-minute walk from KSL City Mall
Facilities aside, it’s also important for a hotel to be accessible – after all, you don’t want to have to travel too far to get all your business done.
Thankfully, Holiday Villa is a convenient 5-minute walk away from KSL City Mall, a popular shopping complex that many JB-goers would consider a one-stop spot for both shopping and activities. Here, you’ll be able to do everything from catching a cheap S$3 movie to karaoke-ing till 3am.

But if you’d like to explore other malls, the hotel is also only a 10-minute drive to Johor Bahru City Square, another large shopping centre near the customs that houses popular camping-themed minimart Avery Day.
