Guest Reviews
- Goot Ling (6/5): - Good location. Have police station beside the building. Easy to heritage streets and big mall and JB Sentral. No bad smell. All basic and necessary things were provided. Cleanliness to be improved. Dusty. Small. Suggest to do some touch up of the room n bathroom.
- Goot Ling (6/5): - Very small,. But have all necessary items except hair dryer. Difficult for long hair. Cleanliness can be improved. Still fine for short stay. No bad smell, pillow n bed are comfortable. Aircon, water pressure all in good condition. Cleanliness need to improve.

- Yasmin (10/5): Great stay & friendly staff - I first stayed at this hotel three years ago. And coming back it still felt cozy, clean and very welcoming.
Natasyha at the front desk was friendly, explained everything clearly and welcomed me with a warm smile during check-in. On my check-in afternoon, the water was warm, but later as I came back that evening, it was cold.
On check-out day, it was still cold despite checking for any extra switch, so I had to take a cold shower. Still, I would recommend the hotel!
- Yap (6/5): - Its location is near to CIQ but we have to take a big round perhaps due to the construction of RTS. The journey took us some 15 mins to reach CIQ from the hotel by GRAB. No extra pillows were given when we requested for it. Pillows are too flat too uncomfortable to use.
- Mandar (6/5): So Far So Good. - The location is good and safe as it lies exactly opposite the police station.
Staff service. Facilities. Room service was available only till 12-1 pm but the staff did provide a good one.
The refrigerator was not there
The room was compact not much space to move around.
- zulkeflee (5/5): - Lokasi ok la. Bilik kecil, harga mahal giler. Bilik view tambak johor. Takde la nak tengok view berjam2

- Eugene (7/5): - Came down here with the new ETS train. So chose a place within easy reach of station.
Cheap and simple hotel. Clean (which is most important). Shower with very good hot water, with toiletries provided. Location in the heart of JB. Lots of breakfast options on jalan meldrum nearby. Easy walk to the old part of town across the road. Basic, but what I expected. Small room. Room door had peeling paint. TV only had one channel (Suria, singapore).
- Awang Abd Rahman (5/5): - Parking disediakan di depan hotel... tapi staff guna untuk parking kenderaan staff... customer terpaksa berebut untuk cari parking...
- Muhamad Izzat (7/5): -
- David (5/5): No comment - No comment .
- Irna (5/5): - Lokasi strategis. Dekat ke Mall. Dekat dengan JB Sentral. Tinggal jalan kaki bila mau naik bis ke JB Sentral. Ukuran kamar sempit. Tidak disediakan sandal. Lantai kamar kotor. Channel TV hanya ada siaran dari Singapore, tidak ada channel lain. Diminta deposit RM 100. Tempat sampah hanya ada 1. Tidak disediakan tissue di meja.

- Dr. (1/5): Not a pleasant and comfortable stay - Location is ideal for those who wish to stay in downtown. Food and convenient store are easily accessible. The condition is much worse than what shown in the picture. Space is small, equipment is very primitive, shower is hot and not adjustable. Sound proof is bad.
- Bazeer (8/5): Very good -
- Haziq (8/5): Very good -
- Elwin (1/5): Sorry to say this but don’t bother booking this hotel - None Small and don’t value for money, everywhere was smelly. Door was stained, lift was so small that me and my partner had to squeeze in.
- Visha (1/5): Poor Service, Uncleanliness and Rude Staff - This was the worst place I have ever stayed. We booked a standard queen room. During check-in, the Malay staff girl was at reception. She's asking me security deposit RM100. I check- in many hotel's before this, they ask RM50 security deposit but this hotel asks for RM100. We asked for drinking water because the inside room didn't have water, but the Chinese guy on the night shift was very rude with us; he didn't trust us. He said the inside room have water, but the inside room didn't have water. The room and bathroom are very old and dirty . The water pressure was very slow, and the bedsheet cover was not covered properly. The air conditioner isn't cold.
The Hotel staff is not friendly at all super rude, and the hotel very poor maintenance.
Please don't say here👎🤬
- Muhamad (8/5): Very good -
- Norman (5/5): Passable - staff was friendly . lobby was neat and clean. location was prime and smack in the middle of town . walking distance to almost everything . so it is super convenient. room was too small . for the price we pay we are able to get a better and more comfortable hotel rate in town if not due to occupancy . the toilet was almost transparent and not suitable if you are staying with your colleagues. Almost no privacy . No parking provide but you can park your vehicle at the lot right Infront of the hotel for a fee of RM20 / 24hours.

- Zane (7/5): Good place to stay for one night, receptionists are very helpful. - I liked the most the staff, specially receptionist Dexter, who were very helpful with anything I asked for and suggested the best restaurant in the area.

- Anc (4/5): Disappointing - Nothing. We have been scammed. The toilet and room were dirty, the air conditioning was too cold with no way to adjust the temperature, and there was construction noise outside the hotel. Additionally, the alley leading to the hotel was unlit at night, making it feel quite unsafe.

- Fiorenzie (6/5): Pleasant -
- Sunny (8/5): Very good -
- Senian (6/5): Pleasant - The location was strategic. Can walk to many of the places that we want to visit. The door of the toilet was creaking quite noisy every time you enter and exit the toilet.

- Mariyah (4/5): Not suitable for women travellers - The staff were accommodating when I told them that the door would not lock. Gave us a nicer room with new locks. The front of the building was all covered up because it was under construction at the time. You have to walk pass dark alleys to get to the building and the walls are very thin, I could hear the people next door talking to me.
