Near to CIQ, food and noise
Pros:

Near to CIQ and food

Cons:

In a noisy street, loud music from nearby restaurants that kept me up all night. I am a light sleeper.

Superb Hotel Location at Johor Bahru City Centre
Pros:

Location is at city centre. Many eateries nearby. Air conditioning is cold.

Cons:

Noisy back alley, as people are having conversations. Hot water shower needs to turn on and off manually to prevent bathing in boiling water. Electrical white noise is suspected to be coming from miniature circuit breaker (MCB).

Decent affordable option at Jalan Meldrum.
Pros:

Location is good, near City Square and right behind Kam Long Curry Fish Head. Affordable price, good value.

Cons:

Area around the hotel is a bit messy, may not be suitable for families. Can hear loud music from the streets late into the night.

Pros:

Walking distance to City Square, Kam Long Fish Head Curry & Ya Wang duck rice

Cons:

Not convenient as a family stay hotel . For men or couple and don’t mind Ah Fook Street only.
