Business Hotels in Johor Bahru

My second time to stay here. The 1st time is nice that's why i choose for 2nd. But this round i have small hiccups required hotel's attention: (1) Not equipe with hand towel. I manage to obtain from the nearby housekeeping (2) All 4 nos. of pillows smell bad. I have called for replacement. The smell is not acceptable.

It's a king bed room, the location is good and room is very cleanliness, the staff is kindly, and serves with smile always.

Fives Hotel Meldrum is a newly opened property in October 2023. It is 850m by walk from Johor Bahru Customs. To get to the hotel, you would need to use the link bridge near the customs that leads to R&F Mall. Just before reaching the mall, head down from the bridge and walk towards the direction of Grand Blue Wave Hotel (GBW). The property is located beside the back of GBW. A 24hrs security personnel is stationed at the main entrance of the hotel. Upon my arrival, the Front Desk Staff had requested a RM200 deposit for my check in registration. The rooms are situated from the first to ten floors. There is no fourth level in this building. I was accommodated in a Standard Queen Room (No. 311). Although the room offers a window, it faces the wall of a building. There is an ongoing construction site located beside the hotel, which I perceived to last for another year or more. Unfortunately, the construction noise is audible which only ended at 10pm during my weekday stay. I later approached the Night Manager and paid a RM40 upgrade to stay in a Standard King Room with no window (No. 308). There is no noise as this room is located in the middle section of the building. Local, Singapore TV and Malaysian radio station channels are available for entertainment in the room. The SMART TV also offers Netflix and YouTube. There are two USB charging ports and three power sockets for your mobile device charging needs. The air-conditioner functions well and keeps the room cool. Shower gel, shampoo with conditioner, toothbrush and paste are provided. The shower head is fixed to the bathroom wall. I found the water pressure to be acceptable, but the temperature is lukewarm. A-lar carte breakfast is offered at RM25 per person, though I did not consume my breakfast at the property. Nearby the hotel, there are several coffeeshops located behind a public carpark that serve breakfast. Among them is Restoran Ah Bee Bak Kut Teh (Pork Ribs Soup) which is a popular eatery among the locals. There are also convenience stores and halal eateries located within walking distance from the hotel. Connoisseur Food Generation, a trendy food court is situated a 5-min walk from the hotel. This place has many food stalls that offer a wide variety of cuisine. There is also live band during my dining there. Whilst the location may not be perfect, Fives Hotel Meldrum is great for those who are seeking something new and an affordable stay in Johor Bahru.

Really nice and clean apartment! Host was very understanding as the app wrongly provided early check in at 10am for us, (do note that check in time will be at the standard 3pm), but he quickly cleaned up after the previous guest left and tried his best to let us check in asap. view was nice, everything was as described, tv has netflix and youtube for us to watch :) everything was clean and in good condition generally! only thing is that as mentioned by other reviews, when you're checking in just call them instead of waiting for them to reply by text because they have to come down personally to get you. we called and they immediately came down so no issues for us :)

Apartment is new and location is very good too. Great access to other amenities like swimming pool and gym. Apartment has towels that are sufficient for our family. He also comes with dental kit like toothbrush and toothpaste. Check-in is quite easy as we liaise with someone over Whatsapp. Overall, a fantastic stay for family with three kids like ours.

Capri is just directly behind the custom and there was a massive jam just to drive to the hotel. Just a 5 mins drive took me 1hr plus to turn to the hotel. The carpark is a maze. Even with directions, you would be confused. The room was clean just that that's a pungent smell in the toilet - literally a smell of a baby spoiled diapers in Room 1001. Feedback upon checked out. Hope they do something to it. There isn't anything to eat, so you will have to drive out to eat each time. Unless you don't mind the cafeteria downstairs. Otherwise be prepared to hit the jam over and over again. Highly likely will not stay over at Capri again due to the location.

Stay at your own risk!!!!👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻 Terrible stay at Holiday Villa hotel - we checked in the hotel at around 8 plus and expected the room should be ready by this time since the official check-in time is 3pm. To our horror, the room assigned to us is faulty as the aircon is not working and I felt dizzy due to lacking of air circulation since all windows are fully closed. We contacted the reception and they sent up a technician to fix the issue. He told us that the aircon panel is spoiled and needs to be replaced (at such a late hour). It took quite a while for the replacement and we are already very tired and hoping to wash up and rest immediately upon check-in after a long day travelling. The reception told us that they’ll arrange for room change next day but nothing has happened. In addition, the room attendant has entered our room (with his own card) without even knocking or notifying us in advance. He immediately close the door and walks away after seeing us. This is really terrible and rude!! Think twice before saying at this hotel which is totally dangerous esp for female guests.

I am so impressed with Doubletree! Upon queuing to be checked in, we were served freshly baked cookie. The cookie definitely warmed our hearts (pun intended) and we felt so welcomed by the gesture. The check in was smooth and the room was clean. There was also a cute staff serving pop corn at the lobby to guests heading out/in. We will be back! :)

We have been to Amari around 5 years ago. It is still as clean comfortable and exceptional in services. But but, 1 thing to note. They have a smoke detector install right in the middle of the room. And the smoke detector has a green LED light that blink periodically. If you sleep in full darkness, that led light is terrible. We had a bad sleep due to the light in the first night. The next morning, i called for help and they offer to tape the green light away using masking tape. It become much much better for us. Also to add in, maybe the hotel can look into sustainability. I need to open a new pack of toothbrush just to get the toothpaste. The toothpaste is pretty tiny for me. Shower gel and shampoo can also work toward huge bottle rather than tiny tube. Would be nice to have laundro in hotel. Other than this, this hotel is really good. Good service and buffet spread.
