Very Good
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travelers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
The hotel lobby and rooms are nicely furnished. The room is modern, clean and comfortable. The hotel is near many local coffeeshops so it's never a problem finding nice breakfast around the hotel. The only drawback is that the hotel staff took slightly longer time to check us in. Other than that, this is a highly recommended hotel to stay in.

Valued price hotel
It is the first time we tried to stay in JB, hence it was very challenging to search for suitable hotel. Luckily we manage to find this hotel from hotel.com recommendation. Room is simple but generally green, toilet cleanliness on the wall can be improved.
Recommend the hotel to discard overly stained/coloured bedsheets/blanket, that would made guest stay much more pleasant.
Parking is street parking, check with hotel staff the parking charges time range to avoid summons.
Overall experience is ok, and will consider to stay again when need to stay over in JB.

Property is ok. value for money for a short 1 night stay. No frills.
Place is clean, although the towels smell like they were not properly dried.
don't expect much. Good for a one night stay only to clean up, crash, wake up and go off.
Was slightly uncomfortable with the street parking. But that can't be helped.
As for the stay it's alright and all amenities is perfect but only the kettle is way out off the menu as it should be clean even if it's not occupied or there can check it before putting it in the room as it's so dirty and rusty too on the inside of the so called stainless steel as this l can't tolerate to accept it that it can be better if someone looks into it or you might loose lots of customers
The hotel is modern and clean. Staff are very helpful and it was easy to get help or answers to queries. Parking is on the road but a security guard watches the cars during the night. Wifi was down on arrival but was sorted out quickly and was available in our room. There is a good selection of restaurants nearby.
The stay was much better than expected. State-of-the-art security (locked main doors, card key access required for lift and room door) in a quite neighbourhood was a really big plus point. Basic room comfort with hairdryer provided for the females. No complaints for the price one pays for a night stay. Good variety of local hawker food just across the road for morning breakfast. My only negative point - the receptionist claimed that my booking reservation through hotels.com showed 1 room instead of 2 when clearly i had paid for 2 rooms. While it was eventually resolved because i insisted she checked on her end, it left a bad distaste for the night, even after attending a wedding dinner. Future guests might want to check and confirm with the hotel prior to arrival.
