10 Top-Rated Specialty lodgings in Johor Bahru District, Johor

June 1, 2023 Timmy Ribble

A bargain shopper’s delight is just across the causeway in Malaysia, with numerous bus and train services available to ferry travelers across the border. The largest and most popular malls are easily accessible from the checkpoint and offer a blend of name-brand and knockoff shopping. Dig deeper and you’ll appreciate the city’s differences, good and bad, from Singapore, though rumors of rampant crime are overblown. Museums and places of worship abound, along with good dining for any budget. A new premium outlet mall opened just outside the city in December 2011, and keep an eye on the new Legoland Malaysia, slated to open at the end of 2012.

The hotel is located out of the way but still near if you have a car or by taxi. You may have a big problem finding food, as there very limited f&b around. Parking is free and there a, guard on duty at night. The room is great, clean, aircon is great. The noise from nearby pub and disco is terrible. It will disturb your zzzzzz. Overall is still a good hotel for the price.

Comfortable One Night Stay

Reviewed By sanwanliu

I like the quaint design of the hotel and the lobby area. Good location considering it is accessible to eateries and cafés nearby. Room is clean and well equipped with basic amenities. Bed was comfortable and I had a good night sleep. One thing to note is, the showering area has no curtain, so the bathroom floor will get pretty wet after shower. Overall, a decent hotel with neat room. Had a good experience staying here.

Nearest Decent Hotel to Toppan

Reviewed By 934vincenty

If you're looking for a 2D1N trip to eat, shop and shop, it may be worth your time to look at this hotel. Super basic btlut generally new and staff speaks english. There's a kitchen with warm water but rooms come without any toiletries except for the bath gel in a bottle. Corridors are brightly lit but walls are super thin so if you're a light sleeper, good luck. Overall I think it's fine for 1 night and within walking distance to Toppan Shopping Mall and Aeon Terbau.

Enjoyed my stay in this 1 bedroom no frills unit. It was clean and offered the basic necessities. I would recommend this to future visitors who are looking for a BnB unit. Waster filters could be provided in the unit along with Tea and Coffee Making facilities.

The walls are thin

Reviewed By DannyNg

I would have given it another star had the walls been thicker. The room was clean and decent. It’s good for a solo traveller to rest for a night or two. However the walls are thin. Hence I was rudely awaken when the phone in the neighbouring room rang at 3am! I have taken off another star because they charge RM20 per hour for early check-in. The check-in time was 2pm. My room was ready at 12noon but the receptionist insisted that I pay extra RM40 for the 2 hours. I find this ridiculous!

Cool room decor but there's dust everywhere

Reviewed By FOXFRAPPE

I basically booked this hotel due to it's cool room decor when browsing online. I think it's an average hotel, but even average hotel shouldn't be that dusty. Even the bathroom isn't that clean. Since we checked in late, we just happened to realize that it's so dusty the day after. Which is the day we checked out. Will probably book this hotel again but hopefully they've changed by then.
