This is an old hotel change cover only. No doubt they overlay the flooring and did up some painting works but the furniture and toilet accessories remains the old ones. Do not encourage staying in this hotel unless you are on super budget and want a location near the night food market along the alley.

The bathroom is horrendous - dirty n very very old. All faucets leaking. Not a drop of soap! No towel rack.
Drunkards in other rooms making noise the whole night...till past 3am. Foreign worker at reception could do nothing but apologise. No sleep although beddings were clean.
Busy but shady area although walking distance to CIQ. Never go back!

We chose this hotel as we liked the photos that we saw on hotel.com and because it was central to everything.
Staff were reasonably friendly.
The elevator was dodgy as it had wood planeling inside of it.
Reception area was not clean. Had cardboard on floor; I think there was renovations going on at the time.
The room was big which was a plus for us; however as soon as we walked in we noticed alot of flaws. The walls were dirty, electrical wires hanging out of walls (not connected to anything), no fridge, no light switch near bed and cigarette burns in doona cover. Not only our room was unclean I felt that the whole hotel was quite unclean; walls etc. To me it looked like the hotel needs to be refurbished.
We thought we would pay a little more for location however we were highly disappointed when we walked into our room.
Wifi was week and did not work at times.
Staff did not clean rooms unless we asked.
Very noisy at night time; fireworks, loud music and loud bangs up until 3am. We all hardly got any sleep during our stay.
Advice to hotel managers: paint the walls in the rooms and hallways and it will be a gorgeous hotel.
I would not recommend this hotel to family and friends.

I stayed there on the 30th August 2019 for a night.
Location : This hotel is centrally located in the heart of JB. It is located within 3 to 5 minutes walking distance to City Square, JBCC and the night bazaar. We stayed for a night there because we need to go to Singapore the next morning. So it serves the purpose well as the JB custom is just 7 mins away. The area is a bit dirty (maybe due to lots of cheap eateries around).
First Impression : The hotel is a bit outdated. I think they should renovate the outlook for a bit.
Reception : The reception area is very small and dusty. There is no common area whatsoever for us travelers put our heavy luggage while we are waiting for the check in process. The receptionist is also a bit boring looking, and he serves me with a very flat tone. There is no warmth or even a smile in his face.
Facility : The elevator is super slow and small. It took ages to go up and down. And also it is very hard to fit, say, 5 people.
Room : Spacious and nice. The room is surprisingly clean and tidy. The bathroom is massive and the hot water is working really well. The view is fantastic (Level 3) and the AC is cold.
Breakfast : None, but you can walk around to eat at the many eateries around the area for sure.
Sleep Quality : 3 out of 5. I can hear all the chants and street concert from the night bazaar in JB to my room till 2am.
Recommendations : Okay ish. Could do with more cleanliness.
Satisfaction : For the price that I paid, I am satisfied with everything. One night stay is good enough for me.

Please don’t stay here! I booked this place with three of my friends thinking that it will be good because its in a central location. But the bed sheets and towels had black stains, the toilet door couldn’t lock and the corridors smelled of cigarette smoke.
The worst thing is that their pictures online were very very different from the actual place.
