We stayed in the Deluxe Twin with seaview on L6 (newly refurbished), the room was very spacious n quite clean. The furniture was brand new and the room had been recently repainted, resulting in a strong paint smell. The toilet flushing system was not working properly, as the water flow was weak n slow. However, the seaview during sunset was beautiful. The receptionist’s attitude during check-in was neither friendly nor professional. The breakfast was average and u might be disappointed if u have high expectations. Overall, our stay at this hotel was okay.

Toilet seat was cracked. Is dangerous as user would be injured (skin could stuck inside the crack and cause bleeding). When informed the hotel, they just offered to change room with no apology at all. This is totally not acceptable for a five star hotel

I recently stayed at Thistle Johor Bahru, and overall, it was a pleasant experience. The staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating, making me feel welcome from the moment I arrived.
The hotel offers a beautiful view, especially if you get a sea-facing room—the daytime scenery is quite nice and adds to the relaxing atmosphere. The overall vibe of the place is calm and peaceful, perfect for a short getaway.
Cleanliness was decent, though I did notice that some areas could use better maintenance. The pool area is well-landscaped and adds to the charm of the hotel.
If you’re looking for a relaxing stay with good service and nice views, this is a solid option. However, a little refresh in some parts of the hotel would make the experience even better!

Overall good stay.. except for the breakfast. Perhaps the hotel should improve more on the variety of the breakfast choices.

Overall stay is awesome compared to previous guest reviews. The service is excellent especially during breakfast time when we had special assistance due to overload guest from other trip.

Lobby was nice and smell great..
Room looks good and clean though had some musky smell unlike at lobby..
Toilet is average coz toilet bowl water was pretty high we kept worrying if it will overflow..
Spiral Steps to swimming pool was rather steep, so be careful.. Swimming pool was great and big..
Breakfast had a really long queue if you go after 9am.. The spread was good.. On Sunday, there was a clown who did balloon sculpture which made my toddler happy..
Room has nice seaside view..
