“This is not JB's best hotel!”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 December 2010

people found this review helpful

Went to Straits view because of the reviews here. Was very disappointed. Room was average. There was a dead fly at the window and carpets were old and ratty. Air conditioner took a long time to start up. Location was inconvenient. No pool so brought my children to see the fish at the pond. Even that was a disappointment, water hasnt been cleaned for years. Breakfast was terrible. Only had coffee, orange juice,koko crunch and bread. Tip: There's actually some fried noodles but you have to ask the waiter, if you can find him. It will come wrapped in brown paper. For RM168 per night, I could have gone to Pulai Springs and had a better time. Worst thing is, I left my iphone charger in the room. Called them up the next day to get it back and they claimed they cant find it. I will never come back here again. Tune Hotel which is just nearby is much better!

“Tricked by tripadvisor ratings”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 December 2010

I had to spend a night in JB, and looked up tripadvisor for hotel recommendation. Lo and behold, I came across the Straits View Hotel. Rated No 1, I decided to give it a shot. It was a major disappointment. A spider on the bed, leftover hair in the bathroom kind of sum up the experience. The friendly reception is the only bright spark.

“Good value for money”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 November 2010

Very nice hotel. The king size bed it's really comfortable and the room is very spacious and really clean. Plus the rate is also reasonable. The lobby design is great with lots of beautiful painting all over. Not only that the staff is really friendly and helpful. It's also quite close to Singapore border, will take about 10 minutes driving.

The hotel has been renovated in the last 4 years. The rooms and service has remained excellant. The staff are caring and polite. The best value in Malaysia.
