“Cheap and OK”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 February 2012

It is the sort of place that never had a good day but at the $20 USD end of the market it will do for a nights stop over. Have stayed in few over the years and although JB looks tatty, they do change the sheets!!! There are much better options if you want to spend double.
An OK option if you are coming from Singapore and wanting head into Malaysia on a morning coach. JB hotel is accross road from a huge shopping centre and buses to Larkin. plus the nightly food market is within 10 paces - not that anything is too far in JB.

Room Tip: Not sure there is a differential!

“Gem near JB customs”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 June 2011
3
people found this review helpful

How can you miss this clean and decent budget hotel which is so close to Malaysia customs, night market food, City Square and Singapore?

Security is somehow surprisingly strict at the basement. You can sleep well at night knowing that no one will knock on your door uninvited.

Even without air-con, fan is sufficiently cooling in the humid weather. Place is very neat though it is not well decorated... but come on, the value you get is more than what you pay.

Food and shopping is accessible especially you are going for the midnight show in City Square cinema. Not forgetting, McDonlad is 24 hrs within 50m.

Comparing to other nearby hotels, this is a gem among the rocks. Believe me... I tried many around the vicinity.

Room Tip: Exit McD in City Sq, go left and cross 2 junctions

“Johor Bahru - Dont do it to yourselves....”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 July 2006

Hotel was nice enough, JB is not worth stopping in, head straight up to Melaka or KL they are only a few hours away.

JB Hotel was clean, poeple were friendly enough. Shared toilets were OK and the showers were OK too.

There isnt a great deal to see or do in the surrounding area and JB has got some sleazy parts to it.

Oh dont get a 7th floor room as the lift only goes up 6 floors.

  • Liked — The geckos
  • Disliked — Location
  • Tips/Secrets — Keep on trucking up to Larkin bus station and go to KL or Melaka
