Guest Ratings & Reviews
I had a surprisingly good experience at this hotel! It's super close to JB Sentral, making it incredibly convenient for day trips to Singapore. The room was clean and comfortable but lacked windows, which made it a bit stuffy at times. The hotel has great amenities for the price, though the shared bathroom situation wasn't ideal. Overall, it's a budget-friendly choice with decent service.
I stayed at this hotel for just one night, primarily to clean up before heading to my main accommodation nearby. The location was convenient with food stalls and a 7-Eleven nearby, but I was disappointed by the lack of parking and the oddities around the area. The room itself was clean and had basic amenities, but payment procedures were frustrating and my view was literally a wall of air conditioning units.
I found the hotel to be conveniently located near food options and shopping, making it easy to explore the area. The rooms were clean and offered a comfortable stay, though parking was a bit of a hassle, which impacted my experience. Overall, it provides decent value for the price, but some improvements could enhance comfort further.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. On one hand, the location is excellent, just a short walk from J B Sentral and plenty of dining options nearby. The rooms were clean and the shower was great! However, the Wi-Fi was a bit unreliable during my stay. Overall, it's a decent place to stay for the price, though there are some issues that could use some improvement.
I had a great stay at this hotel, which is just a short walk from JB Sentral. The rooms were very clean and tidy, making for a pleasant experience. I loved the affordable rates, especially considering the option to bus into Singapore every day. However, I must mention that the shared bathrooms can be a downside and the lack of windows in the rooms might bother some. Overall, it's excellent value for money, especially when compared to Singapore prices.
My experience at this hotel was quite disappointing. I was initially given a smoking room that smelled terrible, which I did not agree to. While the location is decent with nearby attractions and restaurants, the cleanliness and service left much to be desired, making it hard to recommend. I did find some good value in the larger room I eventually stayed in, but the stains on the sheets and lack of basic amenities really affected my stay.
I had a pleasant stay at this hotel, as it was conveniently located just a short walk from the Johor Bahru immigration. The room was neat and had good internet access, which was a relief considering our needs. There were plenty of food options around, making it really convenient. However, I did find the overall price a bit higher than expected compared to accommodations I've stayed at in Kuala Lumpur.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. On one hand, the Wi-Fi was excellent, the shower had great pressure, and it was a relief that I could check in again without extra charges after a booking mix-up. However, there were significant issues like cockroaches and a smelly toilet, which definitely impacted the stay. Overall, there were some positives, but the cleanliness needs serious attention.
Staying at this hotel was a mixed bag. On one hand, the pricing was reasonable, and getting a duty-free liquor supply nearby made for a good night. On the other hand, the neighborhood felt intimidating to some, and the overall comfort could be questionable, especially for those unaccustomed to the area. It's not a hotel for everyone, particularly if you value cleanliness and modern amenities.
