4 tips for savvy savings when booking a hotel in Johor Bahru

  1. Book for the cheapest times: The most affordable time to visit Johor Bahru is between September and November, when hotel prices tend to be lower. For a comprehensive exploration of the city's significant landmarks, cultural sites, and historical attractions, it is advisable to stay for at least 2 to 3 days. During your visit, you can enjoy budget-friendly experiences such as exploring temples, visiting historical sites, and appreciating the local culture, all of which offer great value for money. With the potential for prices to drop during this period, it's a fantastic opportunity for those travelling on a budget.
  2. Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: To discover last-minute deals for hotels in Johor Bahru, begin by exploring the Deals or Last-Minute Deals sections on Hotels.com, where you may find fantastic accommodation deals close to your travel date. To stay informed about potential savings, consider enabling email alerts or push notifications for flash sales and special promotions. Additionally, the Smart Shopping tool available via the app allows you to compare hotel prices and amenities, ensuring you're more likely to see the best options. This way, you'll be among the first to know if rooms become available or prices drop, making your last-minute getaway more affordable.
  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices can fluctuate depending on factors such as the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year, so being flexible with your travel dates may help you save on your stay in a Johor Bahru hotel. For those in search of distinctive accommodations, boutique hotels often provide a more personalised experience and can sometimes offer better value. When you book through Hotels.com, we’ll inform you if the price for your chosen dates is above or below the average. If the price appears to be on the higher side, we can suggest alternative dates that may help you find a more affordable option.
  4. Consider your location: Hotels located near the city centre usually tend to be pricier, but with Johor Bahru's outstanding public transport connections, you may discover a more affordable independent hotel situated a bit further out that remains well linked. For those keen to explore alternative, less congested neighbourhoods or even lesser-known nearby towns, there is often excellent value for money to be found. Opting for these alternative destinations could provide a more authentic and budget-friendly experience.
