    We enjoyed our overnight stay at Thistle, kids love the huge pool. Room is comfortable and big. They have shuttle service to the nearby malls such as... City Square and KSL City, as well as Johor Premium Outlet, and hopefully Legoland when it opens. Check in was a bit slow than normal despite a number of counters open. Room cleanliness needs to be maintained. The bathroom door had some markings and shelves dusty. There is a lack of towel racks as well. But nevertheless, we liked the hotel, service and location and will definitely come back and stay. Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Jun 20, 2012

    Overview

    The 4.5-star Thistle Johor Bahru is the perfect base for exploring this unique area. Less than a 10-minute drive from the Woodlands Checkpoint in Singapore, the hotel is conveniently located just off the Causeway. Danga Bay, KSL City Shopping Mall, and Taman Tebrau market are all about a 10-minute drive away.

    Sit back and enjoy the views from this luxury hotel overlooking the Straits of Johor. Go for a dip in the sprawling 2-level freeform pool or take a romantic stroll along the pool's water bridges. The kids can take advantage of the children's pool and waterslide. The Clark Hatch Fitness Centre & LifeSpa Thistle features 2 tennis courts, a well-equipped gym, and a sauna. Indulge in a massage, or if you feel like seeing more of the area, hop onto the hotel's complimentary shuttle to nearby shopping areas.

    Sneak in a Pilates class before dinner at Glass, serving an array of international and local specialties. Oasis, an open-air bistro by the pool, features an innovative Italian and Japanese menu. You can also enjoy light meals, cocktails, and live performances at Steps, the lobby lounge. A daily buffet breakfast (surcharge) and 24-hour room service are available. Complimentary wireless Internet access is provided in public areas, and the hotel offers free parking.

    Your plush room boasts views of the Straits, city, or pool. The ensuite bathroom has a bidet and a shower/tub combination. Bathroom amenities include hair dryers, slippers, and makeup/shaving mirrors. You can enjoy complimentary wired and wireless Internet access, premium satellite channels, including HBO and ESPN, on the high-definition TV. Safes and minibars are offered, and complimentary bottled water is provided. Cribs and surcharge rollaway beds can be requested, and you can sleep easy with cotton sheets, a down comforter, and a nightly turndown service.

    Outlook of the hotel gives a grand impression. However, my expectation drops to ground zero after entering the room. The pillow is bad, shower is not adjustable it is at most a 3 star quality hotel. I will not recommend to anyone. Unless they overall the room.

    When looking for a place to stay to visit Singapore, Thistle offers a great alternative, 5 star facilities for 3/4 stay pricing if compared to any place of stay in Singapore. It's location is very convenient, quite literally just a bend away from the Malaysia/Singapore check point. Staffs are well trained, helpful and polite. It has one of the largest […] pools among hotels in JB and a great place for families to stay. Read more

    2nd stay with just a couple of days in between first stay The first stay was pleasant with good service, so we decided to stay here for the 2nd period when we wanted to visit Singapore multiple times. Great (big) swimming pool, good service from concierge. Nice lunch buffet (very affordable for what they offer) Internet connection is sufficiently […] fast Affordable, especially compared to the hotels in Singapore, reason for us to stay in this hotel instead of staying in Singapore. Better quality and level of luxury and lower price. The travel from Johor to Singapore is doable, only downside is the long queues and waiting times (chaos) for crossing the causeway bridge when travelling back from Singapore to Johor in the evening. Fastest time (when prefilling paper work in hotel) from hotel to Singapore MRT station in Singapore center was 1 hour. Longest time it took us from Sentosa back to hotel was 4,5 hr (first time going back to Johor from Singapore). Tip: take multiple copies of the paperwork from both borders so this can be prefilled to save time when crossing the border. Take taxi directly from hotel to Border Malaysia, from there take a bus to cross causeway bridge, at woodlands border (singapore) take whatever you want (taxi or bus) Would stay here again when visiting Singapore, especially if it's more than 1 or 2 days.

    Staid initially for 1 night only (to check out the hotel), the first impression was very good. When stepping in hotel lobby i got a good luxury feeling. The first room we got, had some water damage and the cleaning machine for removing the water from the carpet floor was still in the room. We decided to complain and ask for a new room. We went directly […] down to the reception and communicated our complaint in person. We got a new suite room with separate living room and kitchen, this was an excellent room and we have enjoyed our stay. Overall a nice hotel that i would recommend as they have solved our first room issue in a proper way. This has made us decide to stay for some additional nights a couple of days later. Read more

    Absolutely *nothing* was correct with the reservation that we had made with this hotel. I cannot say if it was the reservation service (hotels.com) or the hotel staff, but it turned out to be a major inconvenience. We ended up needing a second bed brought into the room and had to wait to be moved to a non-smoking floor. Made what could have been a nice […] getaway a pain. Read more

    Generally very pleasant atmosphere. Nice, neat and clean after the renovation. Some staff are not smiling or friendly, though polite. Situated on a little hill, whihc is quite exclusive and quiet. Not far from Town, easy access to town with car. But hotel does offer free shuttle services to big shopping mall, eg Jusco and City Square. My children […] likes the little slide in the swimming pools, which is very popular for all children.

    Check-in was slow as staff are not well trained and unable to speak English. Hotel however is excellent for the price paid. We were upgraded to seaview room with nice view. My children enjoyed the pool and had a great time. . There's not many eating places aound the hotel and we drove to town centre for meals. Its only about 10 mins drive to town. […] Eating at the hotel is expensive as the buffet dinner is over RM60 pp. Hotel is relatively new and rooms are spacious and confortable. Will return again.

    レゴランドに行くため、幼児と小学生を連れ滞在しました。目的のレゴランドへは無料のシャトルバスが用意されていますが、人数が限られているため早めに満席になってしまうようです。私たちはタクシーで参りました(40リンギットほど)。ホテルの部屋は広く、スタッフも親切。広いプールにはあまり利用者がおらず、ゆったりとバカンスを楽しめました。JBに行く機会があれば、また利用したいホテルです。

    子連れ3人で宿泊しました。 ホテルの共用部分、プールは良かった。 が、部屋は清潔感がなく、風呂の水が部屋中に溢れた事があるのでは?と思えるようなシミが、かなり気になりました。
