Mosquitoes. Cigarette smelling rooms. Awful location, in the middle of nowhere.

Very nice accomodation. Clean rooms, attentive staff. The only problem - it's a bit noisy due to the night club across the street.

Good for just a stop over which is what i used it for. The location is ok if you're only there for a day because it is near to a shopping centre and other stuff like very cheap internet cafe, but for the centre of town and the airport it's about 40 min away - to get to the airport it cost about 40RM.close

Clean and comfortable but close to a nightly karaoke /night club which runs all night. If you stay request a room away from the front 30/40 minutes by bus into Johor Bahru. regular buses #123 #22 # 507 cost 2 ringits

Sheets were threadbare & blankets had cigarette burns requested non smoking and that was good, however when outside the room in corridors, stairway & reception the smell of smoke was terrible. Hotel was a long way out of town & nothing opened nearbye for breakfast.

Very clean and quiet. Out of the way in terms of Johor city centre though. Its about a 15 min taxi ride, besides that hte area is quiet, there is a shopping centre close by and many restuarants.

A bit too far from things. First night in front room, very noisy from the disco which finished at 10am. Changed rooms and was quiet. It is pay by the hour lady street.

We specifically asked for non smoking rooms and were told that they were non smoking. They stank! Mine was not so bad, but my friend's smelled horrible and I'm not sure how she made it through the night quite honestly. The staff was nice and helpful and the beds and bathroom were very clean.

If it just didn't stink like cigarette smoke so much it'd be great, and if it was a bit cheaper.close

This is a really wonderful hotel for the price.One of those places you actually look forward to returning at the end of each day. The cleanliness,elegant decor and that lovely soothing piped music constantly in the background really created a homely atmosphere.I will definitely return here if I...

I found a full view glass in the room(No 201) covered with just a curtain and the glass is exposed to the streets. But the staff are highly accomodative as they have allowed me to have an early check-in at no extra cost.

The hotel is located quite far away from Johor Bahru city centre. But the staff were extremely helpful with suggesting places to visit and how to get to places.

Loud music from some place outside. Even fireworks all the time, although there was no special occasion as far as I know. Also the television from the neighbours was clearly audible. I guess that the place could have been isolated better. Another problem is that there was no manual or whatever for the electronic systems / devices (i.e. the access card, airco, some other buttons near the door).close

Only stayed one night but the staff were very helpful getting a taxi booked and giving us a wake up call. As a one or 2 night stop over this is an excellent place but it is DEFINITELY a hotel not a hostel
