2-Starhotels in Johor, Malaysia

Great location, but water supply was a real problem Rating: ⭐⭐⭐ (3 stars) Review: Book 2 rooms at Here Hotel Johor Bahru. The location is excellent—right near Sutera Mall with lots of food options around. There are also Karaoke and escape room around the corner. Super convenient for a short trip and Love the nostalgic shophouses vibes!!! However, the water supply was a major issue. The flow was weak and inconsistent, which made showering frustrating. For a hotel room, I expected basic amenities to work properly. Room was otherwise decent and clean, but the water problem really affected the stay. Good for location, but need to manage expectation. But for its price, it is valued for money.

It was my first time choosing to stay at this hotel. I booked 3 rooms but one of the rooms (double room) had cockroach 🪳 nymph crawling up the headboard area of the bed which was not a good experience. The other rooms of ours were fine. Wish the hotel can be more flexible when it comes to checking in. Instead of sticking strictly to 2pm for check-in, if the rooms are indeed ready and available for check-in, early check-in for guests would be greatly appreciated. Will certainly reconsider carefully the next time regarding staying at this hotel. The above are consolidated views from my group of friends staying in the various rooms.

Overall, my 3-night stay was pleasant. I especially enjoyed the family suite—the king-size bed and pillows were very comfortable. However, I expected a basic standard, which is why I couldn’t give a full rating. Cleanliness: There were a few issues that needed attention. I encountered a small lizard, a baby cockroach (which I had to handle), and a spider. The bedsheets and rug had visible stains—while these may be hard to remove, it's not acceptable even for a 3-star hotel. Additionally, a used, damp (but dried) toilet paper roll was left alongside a new one, which should not happen. I’m not particularly fussy, but others might have rated this much lower. The toilet seat was loose and misaligned. The towel hanger was loose as well, so we were careful not to hang all our towels there. The basin tap was also loose. Service: Requests for a writing chair and a hairdryer took quite a while and were only resolved after I spoke to a housekeeper the next morning. Although the room accommodates four guests, we were a group of three and only received two cups, so we had to take turns. There are also only two non-standard, unprofessional hangers provided. They should supply four. I did not use the shampoo or shower gel, so I cannot comment on those. Maybe a brief note should check on our day since we are staying for three nights. This is a suggestion to improve. Location & Amenities: There is a laundry shop conveniently located directly across from the hotel. Parking is available on site, though you may need to park behind the building. It would be helpful to have a designated drop-off slope at the front of the hotel. Food: The café serves a good chicken nasi lemak. The curry gravy is rich and flavorful, though it would be better if there were more side dishes to complement the rice. The overall experience helped offset the shortcomings. Value for Money: 3/5 Until another review for the shortcomings are rectified, I will consider other accommodation

H3 hotel is a budget hotel in Yong Peng. The accommodation is comfortable, cleanliness acceptable. ⭕ car parking space provided. ❌ no electric kettle, no lift(quite a problem if the room is on the higher floor).

Parking outside the hotel was scarce and hard to find. The room's wooden floor felt sticky and wasn't very clean. The shower space in the bathroom was cramped, and the water pressure was low. The hairdryer borrowed from the front desk was hit or miss, likely due to a faulty cable. Soundproofing in the room wasn't great, and I could often hear noise from outside. On the plus side, there was free breakfast in the morning, but unfortunately, there were no eggs left after 9 AM.

Went with 4 kids. House big enough. 3 bedrooms. Master room was big and spacious. With a floor mattress. a king size bed and attached toilet. 2 common bedrooms. 1 room with a king/queen size bed and single size bed. The other room with 1 king/queen size bed. Living room has a sofa bed. Possible for 1 pax to sleep comfortably. Toilet looks old. And master bedroom toilet has an odour. Quite bad. No complains about sound. But heard one or two loud door slams only which i thought is okay because it happens at home as well. The wind, the kids, accidentally. Neighbours seems good. No noise from them and don't even bump into any. But from each room cannot hear each other. Morning around 530am will hear the morning prayers from one of the common bedroom that has 2 beds. The other rooms didnt hear it or perhaps deep asleep. Haha. And another prayer session around 430pm afternoon. Last about 30min. If very tired should be able to fall back to zzz again. My kids did. Towel has a smell. But we don't use as we use to bringing our own towels. I like that there is security counter but not to deposit your luggage prior check in. Anything just ask them and check in is very smooth. Instructions from owner was very clear and direct. Less than 5 min to check in. Early check in allowed at a charge if there's no guest prior. Very nice owners. Reply via whatsapp. And they provided small water bottles and coffee sachets. Quite surprise they do as most, doesn't provides. And a few trash bags .. good! Overall the stay was ok as we only sleep there. No other activities.

The location is right next to CQ @ Clarke Quay, which is very convenient if you're traveling in Singapore and just need a place to sleep at night. It's perfect for budget travelers. However, the hotel isn't on the main street, so it can be a bit tricky to find with luggage if you're relying on Google Maps. Make sure to find Haidilao Hot Pot and take the elevator up from there. You'll be right at the hotel entrance. The hotel's cleanliness is acceptable; for a place with high occupancy, it's maintained to a good standard. The air conditioning is nice and cool, and the bed is quite soft. With earplugs, you can get a good night's sleep. Overall, it's worth the price and much better than other Singapore hotels in the same category. Plus, there's a free water dispenser.

Everything wass good and manamged expectation
