The Nex hotel in JB was a great place to stay while we went to Legoland. We knew it was a budget hotel, as we had read the reviews prior to booking. We had fairly low expectations, and were quite surprised at how nice it was. The rooms were small, yes, but we expected that. The soundproofing wasnt great, but we took earplugs, so it was fine. The only really bad thing was the stupid design of the bathroom. I guess because it was so small, there wasn't a shower screen, so EVERYTHING in the bathroom got soaked when the shower was on. Also, there was 2 drainage holes in the bathroom floor, but one was on the other side of a small glass wall... so the water from the shower had to go around the screen to get to the hole... just really badly designed. The staff were lovely and accommodating whenever we asked for anything. HINT... Make sure you look up a map of the hotel before trying to catch a taxi - it is a new hotel and out-of-the-way. neither taxi driver we had knew where it was.

This is the first time staying at Nex hotel but form the moment I booked, I know it will be a great budget hotel. I booked a family room for 2adults and 1kid through Mr Genesis and his customer services is superb!
Room is clean with a queen and a single bed. Firmness of bed and pillows is 7/10. Air-condition works well.
Toilet comes with basic amenities( toothbrushes, shampoo & bath liquid soap). Rain-shower water temperature is constant. There is no bathtub as the toilet is rather small and the whole toilet may get wet after bathing but that's a small problem for us. If travelling with kids, just need to remind them to be careful with the wet toilet floor after bathed.
Simple buffet breakfast was included and it's more than enough to start your day. We stayed for 3days 2nights and some changes for the buffet dishes during our stay.
Tips: - Morning wet market with some food carts is just 1minute walk from hotel
- Perling Mall is just ~4mins walk from hotel. Direction: out of hotel main entrance, turn left & after a few steps, left again and walk straight for ~200m(2mins walk), turn right, you can see the mall ahead and walk straight for another 2mins.
- there's a rather big giant supermarket, a Marybrown restaurant, a DIY shop and few other small shops. It's just a basic 2 storey small mall.
-No problem even if you feel hungry in the night to find nice malay/Indian food/restaurant as there's plenty around the hotel.
-self-service laundry shop less than a minute walk from hotel.
I took some photos of hotel room, hotel breakfast etc. for this review. Hope it helps.

Stayed here as a stop over as we were heading to LegoLand, a very tidy hotel about 15mins from the border and LL. The staff were very friendly and had no problem adjusting our booking as we had made a mistake and booked for the wrong dates. Nice and clean, great showers. Stayed in a 4 bed family room. KFC and Pizza hut 5mins walk away as well as a small shopping mall with grocery store. Lots of local restaurants around too. Tip: Have the address and map on your phone as taxi driver found it hard to find as it is fairly new and wasn't on his GPS.

I had stayed here with husband just for night previously and thought it would be nice to bring my in law and aunt for a short getaway here. Check in on 8th and check on 10 December 2018. We got a Suite Room which is comfortable and quite fair of space. Like I said, everything was all good until our check out day. Check out was 12pm. However, we decided to check out early to go for lunch and head for our train home at 2pm. This is a shocking incident and I hope no one will have to go through this. We went down to reception at 10.30am and found no one at the front desk. Waited for a while, ring the bell still no one came. We, my family and a delivery guy waited for 20 minutes and saw the 2 ladies which we think either owns the hotel or managed the hotel came. Guess what, no words of apologies to us till I said ' You made us wait for 20minutes & I didn't hear you apologise to us.' She apologised looking down at her cash register and passed me my deposit. I am not expecting her to be like a chain hotel reception but at least have some courtesy. And do you feel safe with a hotel with the receptionist leaving the front desk for more than 15 minutes? I don't know if I would come back but service recovery sucks. For safety I can only give 2 circle.

This hotel fitted our needs with regards to location. Restaurants, laundry mats, etc. are within short walking distance. Easy and free parking right in front of hotel doorstep. Helpful frontdesk staff. We rented two rooms, the superior with windows overlooking the street below is tightly spaced. But the "newness" of the room overrides the compact interior. Really cozy! The family room had 1 queen & 1 single beds, cozy & comfy. Clean, modern bathroom with toiletries like a 5-star hotel. However, the family room has no windows, that's quite a setback! Rather claustrophobic! The "newness" of the room makes up for the unusual design.

We stayed here last week and the room was surprisingly small. We had 2 (one small, one medium) backpacks and it's hard to place them on the floor and walk around the room.
There's no closet to put our bag or clothes. Our 'double bed' was actually two single beds push together, not a proper double bed.
As for bathroom, the water closet was in awkward and crampy position, it's a little hard to sit there without bumping my head at the basin.
Bizarrely, booking dot com listed the room size as 146 meter square which is impossible. Even the 5 star Renaissance JB Hotel club room is only 35 meter square! (I actually misread it as 46 meter square and thought I had a great room deal! If I had read it as 146, I would have known the room size is very very wrong.)
Now for the good side: the solar shower, once warmed up, will provide water with constant temperature. Check out is very fast. Breakfast was not bad if you like local fares. The cleaning crew did a good job as I don't see any dusty corners.
Overall, this hotel is good for short stay or you only need a place to sleep. I really hope Nex Hotel will correct the wrong room sizes with their booking counterparts.

One of the many budget cum boutique hotel in johor. Location wise is quite ok with foods and restaurants easily available. Room is small and without a window. The shower is great. However, u may need to wait for few minutes before the water gets hot. I asked the reception is it faulty and they said it's because they use solar power for sustainable. Didn't take breakfast as there r many foods around.
