Hotels in Johor Bahru (Johor Baru, Johore Bahru, Johor Baharu)

July 29th, 2008 lawrence.gan

 Hotel rates in Singapore are on the pricey side. A night in Swissotel, Mariott or Hyatt in Singapore will set you back by SGD$300-$500/night. A night at a backpacker’s hostel will be cheaper, at about SGD$60/night.

With the F1 (Formula One) race coming to Singapore, most of the hotels/hostels will be booked out by August. A feasible alternative if you are priced out for hotel rooms: Look North.

Johor Bahru (Johor Baru, Johore Bahru, Johor Baharu), some 20km from Singapore’s bustling Orchard Road offers a range of hotels that goes for RM$150-RM$250 (1 SGD = 2.36RM). Some good hotels to consider:

1. Crystal Crown Hotel

The Puteria Pacific is the closest to the Johor Bahru Customs although the all the hotels are really a 5mins drive away from each other. If you do make a booking at this hotel, do take some time to visit some of the attractions recommended in this website.
