We dont expect much in the room itself since the price is fairly low. The cleanliness is ok but could be better. Towels had stains on them. Extra towels is chargeable at MYR 20 each. Only 1 key card is provided per room. Although the room was for 4 pax. U can request for an extra card and deposit MYR 10.
There is an eatery nearby which is clean and offer variety on the menu. Love that they had 3-in-1 Nescafe.
Most rooms don’t have windows but the ones which accomodate 4 pax does. However each window has lightings on the exterior which lit up the room at night so u need to close the curtain properly.
The wi-fi connection is very poor. At times we were not able to log in and the pop-up error states that there are too many users. When we finally managed to log in, the connection is very laggy.
Great no frills hotel with very polite staff.
One of the best value hotel to stay at in JB , the place feels very clean and exceeds expectations.
Just 1min walk away to the popular fish head curry place and can walk to checkpoint too.
During peak period, I recommend going out to the main road to get to Grab transport if going elsewhere.
True to the reviews, the hotel is really no-frills. The rooms are spartan and there are a few cracks in the walls; the vent is a little brown. BUT.
You will feel safe and cosy here, plus the sheets are very, very clean.
I have sensitive skin so dust and dirt or other particles will make me itch and redden like crazy. Nothing like that at all. I had a great sleep from night 1 to night 3.
Bryan’s service was impeccable, very friendly, welcoming, and accommodating to our request for a quieter room.
The hotel is walking distance from JB City Square, and the Jalan Tan Hiok Nee stretch, so you’re in good hands for accessibility. For those taking Grab to and fro, do note that the road has a lot of cars parked at the side, so your ride will take a little while to maneuver through.
What’s great is that the hotel is right next to a minimart. Water, snacks, toiletries… no worries. The hotel does provide a small bottle shower gel and a small bottle of shampoo gel, a disposable toothbrush and toothpaste tube, shower cap and handsoap. But that’s about it
Opposite and around are several eateries serving local delights (cash or Touch n Go/DuitNow only)… Good for takeaway or simply sitting there to eat.
I believe the hotel is usually quieter, but we happened to stay during the Deepvali celebrations, which meant loud fireworks going off just a building away, at 1am. I’m sure it is quieter otherwise.
Honestly I can’t complain. It’s safe and clean, plus the bed is so soft. The service staff are so attentive too
I had three nights here. I arrived quite late from Singapore, so getting a friendly welcome from the night manager was very welcome. The bed was deliciously soft, air con kept me cool and the bathroom was great. I liked that by going across the street, I could have dinner at nearly midnight, and that the hotel was in the middle of downtown JB. Just a short walk away was the big JB Town Square Mall and access to JB Sentral, bus station and the CIQ facility.
On my first night and in the mornings, the internet worked fine. On the other nights, when I most needed it, it didn’t work at all – the hotel log in system refused access.
Room no soundproof, hear people voice from other room and corrider.
Bathroom shower not working.
Bed sheets are not clean and there’s still hair on the floor.
Although we stayed Premier room, feel like wasted.
Room very run down, small as shown in photo, dusty, feel like last clean was quite sometime ago, no soundproof.
Not recommended.
Although is very close to city square, and customs but traffic quite bad
