Hotels near VOA Monument, Johor Bahru

Z Hotel has been on my list for so long and finally managed to stay here. Although I was a bit disappointed that the pictures were not the same as the room that we got, it was still spacious and everything worked - even the fridge, Yes!! Thankful for the high floor given to bask in the surrounding scenery at night and sunrise in the day. Walking distance to Pasar Karat was a blessing for these tired legs. With minimal time, we were at the heart of the night bazaar and enjoying everything.

We have been to Amari around 5 years ago. It is still as clean comfortable and exceptional in services. But but, 1 thing to note. They have a smoke detector install right in the middle of the room. And the smoke detector has a green LED light that blink periodically. If you sleep in full darkness, that led light is terrible. We had a bad sleep due to the light in the first night. The next morning, i called for help and they offer to tape the green light away using masking tape. It become much much better for us. Also to add in, maybe the hotel can look into sustainability. I need to open a new pack of toothbrush just to get the toothpaste. The toothpaste is pretty tiny for me. Shower gel and shampoo can also work toward huge bottle rather than tiny tube. Would be nice to have laundro in hotel. Other than this, this hotel is really good. Good service and buffet spread.

location is good but not great, needed to switch many lifts from komtar, to lobby, to room. that's like 3 lifts to reach room. room is of a good size, but shower is bit dated, took awhile for water to be hot. breakfast is pretty crowded and take awhile to find table.

Really nice and clean apartment! Host was very understanding as the app wrongly provided early check in at 10am for us, (do note that check in time will be at the standard 3pm), but he quickly cleaned up after the previous guest left and tried his best to let us check in asap. view was nice, everything was as described, tv has netflix and youtube for us to watch :) everything was clean and in good condition generally! only thing is that as mentioned by other reviews, when you're checking in just call them instead of waiting for them to reply by text because they have to come down personally to get you. we called and they immediately came down so no issues for us :)

It is a bit tedious when doing self check in, but no problem, the security was very helpful to guide & show from taking the keys & card from the mailbox until ur parking location. Basic amenities are provided, but if u come with family, no worries, utensils for basic cooking are provided. Basic amenities from toothbrush, bedroom slipper & towels r provided but no iron & ironboard. I would say that the bed is the most firm mattress I've slept on. As for me, I like it, but for some others, it is like sleeping on a pile of cardboard boxes 😂.. disappointment is no sea view as shown on the photo & parking is seriously stressful 😕... overall, satisfied with the stay.

Fives Hotel Meldrum is a newly opened property in October 2023. It is 850m by walk from Johor Bahru Customs. To get to the hotel, you would need to use the link bridge near the customs that leads to R&F Mall. Just before reaching the mall, head down from the bridge and walk towards the direction of Grand Blue Wave Hotel (GBW). The property is located beside the back of GBW. A 24hrs security personnel is stationed at the main entrance of the hotel. Upon my arrival, the Front Desk Staff had requested a RM200 deposit for my check in registration. The rooms are situated from the first to ten floors. There is no fourth level in this building. I was accommodated in a Standard Queen Room (No. 311). Although the room offers a window, it faces the wall of a building. There is an ongoing construction site located beside the hotel, which I perceived to last for another year or more. Unfortunately, the construction noise is audible which only ended at 10pm during my weekday stay. I later approached the Night Manager and paid a RM40 upgrade to stay in a Standard King Room with no window (No. 308). There is no noise as this room is located in the middle section of the building. Local, Singapore TV and Malaysian radio station channels are available for entertainment in the room. The SMART TV also offers Netflix and YouTube. There are two USB charging ports and three power sockets for your mobile device charging needs. The air-conditioner functions well and keeps the room cool. Shower gel, shampoo with conditioner, toothbrush and paste are provided. The shower head is fixed to the bathroom wall. I found the water pressure to be acceptable, but the temperature is lukewarm. A-lar carte breakfast is offered at RM25 per person, though I did not consume my breakfast at the property. Nearby the hotel, there are several coffeeshops located behind a public carpark that serve breakfast. Among them is Restoran Ah Bee Bak Kut Teh (Pork Ribs Soup) which is a popular eatery among the locals. There are also convenience stores and halal eateries located within walking distance from the hotel. Connoisseur Food Generation, a trendy food court is situated a 5-min walk from the hotel. This place has many food stalls that offer a wide variety of cuisine. There is also live band during my dining there. Whilst the location may not be perfect, Fives Hotel Meldrum is great for those who are seeking something new and an affordable stay in Johor Bahru.

First of all, the hotel is brand new. The hotel is very close to the JB city centre yet located in a very quiet surroundings. Secured indoor parking. The 2 Bedroom Suite is definitely worth every penny...extremely generous in space, a very functional kitchen, spacious dining area and living room. Would definitely come back with family & kids as they have a nice kids pool at level 5 with nice view of Johor straits & also Singapore!

The room was clean and very convenient for everyone! 🤩 The bed looked grand and relaxing. 🛌 #Hotel #Stay #Comfort #Travel. I highly recommend this hotel.

Just beside the shopping mall and Monday night market. A lot of nice food near the hotel. There are 2 towers, tower 1 and tower 2. This time we stayed at tower 2 which has no view, no window even though when we booked it stated city view. Make sure you asked the reception during check in or else will ended with no view, no window. We booked for 3 pax but was given 2 towels. Need to check and informed the counter and the housekeepers would hang the extra 1 set on the door handle. Overall, the location is great and the food is yummy.

A cheap and clean hotel, easy to get to and has plenty of parking. Not far to Johor Bahru city center and Sultanah Aminah Hospital. Restaurants are also plentiful in this area including a 24-hour convenience store. To get to Larkin Public Transport Terminal and Urban Forest Recreation Center is also close. The room price is also reasonable and stay here once
