This is the most disgusting hotel I've stayed! Such a waste since the location is perfect. Minutes away from shopping malls, custom and immigration and the night market. Have a stunning view of the causeway and Singapore especially in the evening. Back to the hotel. We arrived late after a long day. Staying just for a night. When we reached the lobby, we were greeted by the receptionist with a smile but at the same time I noticed something is not right. The lobby were unorganised, looks old and smelly. But we'll, I have a very low expectations on this hotel with the room rate that I paid. Never mind, I just want a good rest. Check in process is pretty fast, about less than 5 minutes since everything is prepaid. This time again I felt something is not quite ordinary when the receptionist hand me the air-con remote control. Went to the lift which is next to the reception counter. The area is just like an old shopping mall lift, nothing like hotels lift landing. However the came pretty fast. Once enter the lift, I was so so suprise to see how dirty it was. The real nightmare began when we reach our floor which is on the 14th floor. The carpet along the corridor is supposed to be red in color but it's turn black because of too dirty and no maintainance. It's really disgusting these kind of conditions in the hotel vicinity! It's super super dirty and I don't even know the appropriate words to describe. Walk all the way to my room and I saw 1 major safety issue that the management failed to see. The window and the end on the corridor is widely open! Just imagine if children playing and climb on the window, the resulting be catastrophic! This is truly a super massive issue!!! Enter the room, the size is big with 1 king size and 1 single bed BUT, the condition is even worse than those super cheap B&B!!! Just take a look at the photo attached. It is super disgusting!!!! 1. The trash bin the washroom filled with water and rubbish!!! The floor is dirty with stain everywhere!!! 2. The stain in the bedroom is out of this world, I can't even describe how dirty it is. Let the photo speak for itself. I don't even dare to take off my shoe. 3. The sofa is suitable to be thrown away. 4. The mattress is as hard as brick!! Same goes to the pillow. I don't 100% blame the staff for this condition but rather the management fault. They failed to manage the property properly. I am very sure if Malaysia Hotel association, building safety inspector and ministry of health making a suprise inspection, this building will fail in all areas. My suggestion is, if the management felt that they unable to maintain this hotel, I think it is better to rent/lease or even sell the property to any proper hotel chain.

I took a leap of faith and booked this hotel room despite some negative feedback from other travellers about this hotel on various platforms. I was upgraded to the deluxe room by the kind receptionist Ikmal. Thank you very much! Here’s my honest review of the room. First impression, the deluxe room was extremely spacious. The room was also very clean. The bed sheet smells fresh. There were some minor spots on the bed sheet but it wasn’t a big deal. The hotel provided 2 pairs of slippers and 2 bottles of water. I did not use the water kettle. All the basic amenities in the washroom was also available. The aircon took a while to get running but it got colder as the night draws in. The noise isolation of the room was rather poor as I could hear noises from outside the hotel even though I was on the 8th floor. Despite the noises, I was able to sleep relatively well thanks to the soft pillows provided. One thing I found annoying was that the bathroom door cannot be closed shut fully. As the the result, some of the cool air from the air conditioning escaped into the bathroom. Please note that if you’re driving into JB, I don’t think this hotel has a parking lot. Kindly confirm before booking. Overall, I would book this hotel again as the pros (close proximity to the customs and dining options, clean room and value for money) outweighs the cons and I highly recommend this hotel to anyone who is looking for a decent hotel to stay without breaking the bank. See you soon Citrus Hotel!

Highly recommend. I have a high standard of cleanliness and this suite easily passed the mark. I walked on barefoot and no stain! It’s even cleaner than a 5-star hotel. Pillow, bedsheet are all clean. It’s a serviced apartment type and so no meal is provided but city square is within 5 minutes.
Hotel CIQ @ Wong Ah Fook

City center of Johor Bahru
Stayed in superior queen room for two nights. Big receptionist at checkin was unfriendly and charged me RM10 more than stated from booking which is pennies but more for the principle. Room was relatively clean. Safe provided did not work. Kettle available in room. The Wi-Fi was spotty. The door separating neighbor provides no sound proof also can hear what goes on in hallway. A/C works well, no place to hang clothes, few channels tv, stained bed sheets, rainfall shower head only trickles, water temperature was difficult to calibrate, either scalding hot or cold.

Stayed one night there, room was very stuffy and poor lighting. Pillows smell weird. Requested for a queen bed during booking which they have options to choose from, but ended up giving 2 single beds. Shampoo was not provided, only provided one tub of body shower expected to use on hair as well. Otherwise it's near to JBCC, good to catch the early trains to Sg.

Guide for Travelling in Johor Bahru

Introduction to Johor

Johor, Malaysia's southernmost state, known for its vibrant cities, pristine nature, and unique cultural heritage. Just a causeway away from Singapore, Johor offers a rich tapestry of experiences, from exciting theme parks and historic sites to delectable local cuisine. As one of the fastest-growing states in Malaysia, Johor is a reflection of modern progression whilst preserving its cultural roots.

Tips about Travelling to Johor

Senai International Airport serves as the main gateway to Johor, with direct flights from various parts of Asia. For travellers from Singapore, the Causeway Link bus service offers a convenient way to cross the border.

Malaysia's official currency, the Ringgit, is used in Johor, with credit cards accepted in most establishments. Bahasa Malaysia is the official language, but English is widely spoken, particularly in urban and tourist areas.

Always check with the nearest Malaysian embassy or consulate for visa requirements. Many countries are granted visa-free entry for tourism purposes.

Johor is a predominantly Muslim state; thus, modest attire is recommended, particularly when visiting religious or cultural sites.

Popular Attractions in Johor

Johor is home to the famous Legoland Malaysia Resort, a must-visit for families. For a slice of history, the Johor Bahru Old Chinese Temple and Sultan Abu Bakar State Mosque offer a fascinating look into the state's diverse religious practices. Nature lovers will enjoy the beauty of Endau-Rompin National Park, while foodies should not miss exploring Johor Bahru's street food scene.

Weather and Best Time to Visit

Johor experiences a tropical rainforest climate, with temperatures ranging from 23°C to 32°C all year round. The monsoon season from November to February brings more rain, making the driest period from June to August the most favourable time to visit. Lightweight clothing, a raincoat or umbrella, and comfortable shoes are recommended for your visit.

Choosing the Right Hotel in Johor

Choosing a hotel in Johor depends on your needs. For proximity to attractions, consider staying at Legoland Malaysia Hotel. Food enthusiasts might prefer a stay at Amari Johor Bahru, situated near famous eateries.

To stay near the airport, consider Le Grandeur Palm Resort Johor. For a touch of luxury, the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Johor Bahru offers upscale accommodation. Budget-conscious travellers might appreciate the Bliss Boutique Hotel, while business travellers could opt for the Thistle Johor Bahru, located near the business district.
