2-Star Hotels in Johor, Malaysia

This hostel 🏨 is genuinely great! I dare say it's unbeatable for its price point. The host keeps the place meticulously clean and tidy. The common lounge area is designed predominantly in black, with a bar-like long table perfect for guests to have coffee and chat. They even provide a gas stove and cookware for guests free of charge. That's incredibly thoughtful! It's absolutely perfect for backpackers looking for a temporary stopover in JB! One thing to note is that this hostel is alcohol-free and pork cooking is prohibited, so travelers should be aware. And finally, a pleasant surprise is that the hostel has a cat that often cocks its head, super cute ớ ₃ờ! Overall, this hostel is truly an excellent place for backpackers to stay.

Best hotel, everything was beautiful and clean, and there was no mixing with other people, so it was comfortable.

Recently transitioned to the Swing & Pillows brand, with ongoing renovation that's now largely complete. The all-important Quality of Welcome, so rare in JB hotels, is outstanding. Kudos to Umar, Jason and the team. 👍🏼 😍. Check in is fast and efficient. Keypad code for entry to the property if reception unattended may seem obvious, but it's a big help with both security and quality of life for hotel guests. Rooms are truly spotless, towels and linens are new and fresh, the bathrooms functional and the showers 🚿 enjoyable. All these things are rareties that are not to be taken for granted with JB hotels in this price range. By the way, even the Single Room No Windows is fairly spacious and the aircon and WiFi (do select the 5GHz band) are very effective. An easy, and strong, recommendation from me. I've been visiting JB for over 15 years, lived in JB for over a year before Covid-19 and have been super critical of JB hotels (price, quality, service, cleanliness and security / safety concerns) over the years. Swing & Pillows @Johor Bahru is a successful transformation of an old property. Well done 👏🏼 💕.

So, the hotel stay? Let's just say it wasn't winning any ”Most Likely to Be Remembered Fondly” awards. The Wi-Fi signal was so weak, it made dial-up look like warp speed. The staff seemed to have attended the ”Charm School for Robots” – graduating with honors in monotone efficiency. As for entertainment, the cable was flatter than a week-old roti canai, and local TV might as well have been broadcasting from Mars, linguistically speaking. Thankfully, there was a 24-hour mamak for emergency mee goreng runs. A barbershop next door offered the hope of a pre-9 PM trim, assuming you could beat the early-bird special to receding hairlines. And a mamak convenience store stood guard, also clocking out at 9 PM sharp.

First time staying here (single room without window). Hotel is clean & comfortable, small room but just nice for one person solo stay, many foods, convenience stores, pharmacy nearby, very convenient. Got lift & parking in front of hotel , friendly receptionist.  Just that room can hear outside sound clearly especially night time if got people talking you can hear, room no hair dryer. Other than this, all satisfied .  Will stay again.

The room is small with no windows but is not cramp. Floor is sticky and bed sheets are not clean. But is good location as Family Mart is just next door and Fam Cafe with good food also right beside.

sorry tak amik gmbr surrounding but so far puas hati berbaloi byr murah walaupun bilik kecik sikit but issokey murah kan

Show on the app said some room have window , so I requested for window room but get the room without windows , feelings stuffy when go in to the room , No free public parking on weekdays, as what the trip.com mentioned public parking is free ...

First time check-in hotel with kiosk. It's convenient for youngsters. Need to pay RM50 deposit no matter by cash or by card. Only one complaint is the cleanliness of the bedhead. It's full of hair 😩 Wondering how was the other room.
