Best Kid-Friendly Hotels in Johor Bahru

The upper-middle-range Doubletree By Hilton Hotel Johor Bahru is centrally located in Johor's business district, a six-minute walk from the Persada Convention Center. The nearby businesses, dining and shopping outlets, and theme parks are ideal for both leisure and business travelers. The 333 guest rooms feature modern and fresh decor along with amenities like flat-screen TVs, minibars, and free Wi-Fi. On-site dining includes two restaurants, a snack store, and lobby lounge. Additional features include an outdoor swimming pool with an adjacent shallow kids' pool, a 24-hour fitness center, and small spa. Meeting and event space is also available. Parking and breakfast cost extra. For a nearby alternative, travelers can also consider The Puteri Pacific Johor Bahru with similar features, plus squash courts, at a lower rate.

The four-pearl LEGOLAND Malaysia is one of the best hotels in the country for families, with its unique Lego play experiences and themed entertainment.  Access to the adjacent amusement park isn't included in the rate, but guests do get early morning access, allowing them to beat the crowds after the free breakfast buffet. Other features include an outdoor pool, an Italian restaurant, and a sushi bar. Rooms have fun adventure, pirate, or kingdom themes, and all have separate kids' rooms with bunkbeds.  Families looking for a more conventional option might want to check out the Hotel Jen Puteri Harbour, Johor, right on the waterfront.
