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.
