"Our stay at Danga Bay was fantastic! The flat was well-maintained, with functional amenities and clean utensils. The toilets were spotless and hygienic. We loved the comfy beds and the phenomenal view. Overall, everything was perfectly taken care of, making our stay truly enjoyable. The unit had fantastic view of the bay and we managed to watch a couple of breathtaking sunsets.
The area around seems to be rundown and nowhere as chic as the pictures suggest. "
"Good location - very comparable to the 3-4 star hotels around. (ie: New York, KSL, Gp, etc)
Parking is good, and my vehicle feels safe(compared to other hotels).
Ample food options at the ground level as well."
"On the plus side, the apartment was very clean and spacious with a good view.
On the downside,there was no toaster for European travellers, also the small hotplate provided did not work.

"Everything is great! especially the front desk Ms Kathrine. The only downside was one of the lift is not functioning leading to a long wait for the lift.
Can see they are putting in efforts to improve the breakfast with teh terik and juicing station. "
"Super lots of food options by foot!!!! Bed comfort & amenities can further enhance, no 'DND' signage provide. Hence daily cleaning was done & needed to request for 02 half size towels, which was originally placed in the room upon checking in. "
"Holiday Villa Johor Bahru was situated at a good location, whereby just across the street is the KSL mall and also along the road there are a few eateries and massage shops throughout the day🙂🙂🙂. Room and facilities at the hotel are spacious and clean. Not to forget to the housekeeper who clean the Room 1228 for the period 27th July to 28th July 2025. Thank you for all the staffs who make the stay here a pleasant trip😘😘😘. We will be coming back here again whenever we coming in to Johor. Breakfast buffet was quite standard and I like the ambience and the varieties of foods that was available. Good job to the management and to all staffs at Holiday Villa Johor Bahru👍👍👍"
"Hotel lift does not require card access so anyone can go into the hotel corridors. Banging sounds every half an hour or so from 11pm all the way into the am. I was terrified for my life. Not sure if anyone's room got broken into or if staff is doing laundry. Cleanliness is not great, there was hair on the towels, mould on the walls, and the room smells very musty. I had the worst hotel stay of my life. Check in and check out were quick and smooth and there are a few restaurants and a mart just downstairs."
