If you staying here, remember to bring your free parking coupon each time you drive out. Few walking distance food place just around the corner - kfc, mamak, mawar pisang goreng and steamboat dataran.

It is a comfortable hotel, nice sea view but do request not to stay near the Hive music bar, else u definitely will not get a peaceful rest... They just keep play music and keep singing... 😑

Nice hotel, good staff, good location if you want to travel to singapore. Recommend to get the deluxe room facing the sea. Nice pool and also great variety breakfast. Surely will stay here again.

Love the bed. Customer service not really bed compare to the grand palace orchard. The basement parking really scary. The pool not for the kids below 3 years old. The view really love it

One of our 2 favourite hotels in JB. Think they did a recent refurbishment and rooms are better now. The "sea view" is unbeatable

Good customer service, comfortable bed, nice buffet breakfast (RM25 per pax) and excellent location. Those looking for nice seafood, go to Ong Shun Seafood Restaurant, Jalan Abdul Samad nearby.

I always like this hotel especially when I come to JB. Well service is always bad in Malaysia Hotel anyway. So I always be kind to them and sure they will treat us well. Kita senyum dulu...

Please dont make a mistake. There is city view and sea view. Just make sure which view you want before its to late. Hahaa.

Love the king size bed.. the kids enjoy the pool.. the staff are friendly n the service is good.. Would live to be here again..
Peter TangJuly 5, 2013
Nice window view and staffs are friendly in general. However, lights tripped, non-functional fridge, water leakage in bath room, noisy (doors banging), and wifi only works the first few hours.

Everything is good here.. the bed, pillow, environment, the room, breakfast and many.many more.. worth every single cent.
Mas'Alia LuffyMarch 27, 2014
I've read the comments on the bad &slow services.No wonder the reception made a confirmation call whether I've received the items requested or not.😝so far everything is good.Yup i love the tub too!!
Muhamad AzwanJune 27, 2020
During our stay at this hotel. It's quite disappointed when 5star hotel doesn't feels like 5 star hotel.. we have some problem when water stagnant on toilet floor..and it's quite slippery.

It's nice and relaxing on the club lounge on L15 and worth paying the upgrade. Wifi in rooms is appalling though, keeps dropping connection and slug slow speeds.

Having great facilities. Great buffets and hospitality. Not friendly to foot walker to get to closest restaurants etc
Azrol QaiyyumJune 3, 2015
Nice spacious room. Breakfast is okay, nothing amazing about it. Friendly staff. Easy access to ro main road.
Shuq' YongSeptember 27, 2020
The room is comfortable but i’m not recommend this hotel if u sleep 1 room wit ur fren coz of d bathroom window. Even if u shut the blind, u will still feel insecure (if u are havin insecure issue)
Elliott SohJune 5, 2012
Awesome service, staff, amenities and food! Especially when my phone was lost during my stay, kind staff helped to look for it. Thank God for you guys!
Mae BaptistMay 1, 2015
Standard has dropped tremendously! Cleanliness and maintenance of the hotel is atrocious! Service staff at the Oasis and at the gym are listless and haven't the understanding of hospitality.
Johan Farid Khairuddin (JFK)May 8, 2017
Old. Run down. Bathtub mouldy. No lounge chair in room too so if u come +1, stand while ur partner sits & eats. Service slacks too. Little attention to detail/no focus. Late checkout pay 1/2 day rate.
Halip HwgJune 28, 2012
Worth for money,normally hotel mcm ni even' 5star pn still ada bau hancing,but this THISTLE totaly different' gud environment and wth wide scale room size!
Amy ZainalDecember 2, 2014
Good service. Very nice hotel and there's a free shuttle from hotel to town/jpo/legoland👍
Mariam MustaffaMarch 19, 2011
Love the room and the king sized bed. The full length window allowed a view that was just magnificent, especially at night ! Coffee house ok..Service good
Sykin Zainodin ™December 31, 2013
U can ask to change room. Just plus another RM50++. Sea view is worth a penny.
Said UzirDecember 17, 2013
Very nice food and service. Will come back again. Highly recommended !
James AntipoloMarch 30, 2013

Izad IsmailMay 6, 2012
Good food! If you're planning to stay here, make sure you have the breakfast!
Ayu HassanFebruary 21, 2017
nothing short of a good hospitality experience. been here 4 more than 2x since 2013 & not one of my stay was lacking of this. bestest hotel experience thus far. thanks to all of staffs.
Leona LimFebruary 13, 2011
Good: nice pool, nice healthclub, modern, new, friendly desk. Downside: no wifi, parking facility separate fr hotel, bfast spread
Simon WongDecember 22, 2012
Rm417 per night on deluxe room is not to expected standard except the bed is soft. Tv spoiled, floor cracked, water heater rusted, dim lights and it took more than 1 hour to ur doorstep after a call.
Aminur RashidMay 21, 2016
Love the view! Location is nice to chill for your weekends.

Must try their 180 degrees improvement of their breakfast menu. Kudos to the management of Thistle JB.

Ask for corner lot room (applicable for deluxe room only) - the view is spectacular!
Haleem AbdJune 14, 2014
Check in staff not friendly and it was the Executive Check In, I can't imagine normal counter. No extra bed available. OTW to our room, carpet soaked with water leak. Car park inconveniently located.
al-faudzan abdul halimAugust 29, 2017
its rate is like 5 star hotel, but the TV like budget hotels channel. The non smoking room, smell like cigarette smoking room.

I like the cars at the Valet. Reminds me of the Johor Palace Tuesday parking lot.

Warm staffs...always gives a smile and greet you...
CimaFebruary 9, 2017
The first room that i get with leaking closet. The 2nd room, aircond doesn't work. other than that its good place to stay only minor things have to be upgraded.
Jeffry JuniorFebruary 28, 2019
Bed and pillows is good. Soft n you gonna it 😊
Dayana KamaruzamanOctober 31, 2014
Breakfast and room service was pretty good. Room was cozy but needs repairs (bathroom door looked like it was going to fall apart).
