Positive Reviews

Spacious and comfortable rooms

The purportedly spacious nature of the hotel's rooms was highly regarded by previous guests. In addition to this, the rooms were also considered to contain comfortable furnishings for the most part.

Convenient Johor Bahru location

For the most part, the accommodation's location has been positively received by former visitors. Thanks to being centrally positioned, the property is within comfortable walking distance of the Johor Bahru City Square, Angry Birds Activity Park and JB Sentral Station.

Polite and professional staff

The customer service provided was commended by most past guests that stayed at the hotel. In general, words like 'efficient', 'friendly' and 'helpful' were often used to describe the staff members.

Negative Reviews

Cleanliness in need of improvement

As far as hygiene standards go, the hotel is in need of improvement – based on a sizeable portion of former visitors. From the pool being dirty to the rooms suffering from unpleasant smells, various cleanliness-related concerns have been encountered.

Showing its age

According to recent feedback, the hotel is not currently in the best shape overall. Along with the rooms apparently displaying their age in terms of furnishings and decor, public spaces such as the corridors were also said to be in need of revamping.

Extra charges hamper value

The additional charges imposed on certain services has been criticised by numerous previous visitors to the accommodation. As well as a reported guest service charge on top of the standard cost of staying, it has been noted that requesting extras such as pillows and towels also includes a surcharge.
