Location : The hotel is centrally located in the heart of JB. It is within walking distances to the CS and JBCC and there are a lot of eateries surrounding the area. The taxi driver might not know the location, you can mention the former Tropical Inn. The hotel is located just the opposite of the Double Tree. It is easily reachable by cars and surely strategic. Lobby : The lobby is spacious in size and very clean too. The cleanliness of the area is simply spotless. The check in process is smooth and quick. I was briefed about car exiting the hotel and also the breakfast area. The lady attending me surely speaks super soft. Room : 1907, facing the city, the view is magnificent. I booked for Deluxe Queen but I got Deluxe triple. Thank you Jo Hotel for the upgrade. The beds are soft and very comfy. Amenities is complete, the fridge work, the TV works, the AC works and everything was perfect. The bathroom is big but the draining is super slow. Took 40 mins for the bath water to drain completely. Other than that, all okay. Breakfast : The breakfast is simple, fried rice, fried noodle and sausages. Simple yet tasty. I love it so much. Facility : I was told that can only use lift 3,4,5,6 to get to level 19. The 1 and 2 arent reaching there. Thats good. The lift is ancient yet so beautiful. The parking is so small. But that night, a chef from nearby restaurant guided us to the underground parking. You should make a signage about the underground parking because there are literally none. Satisfaction : 9.5 / 10.00. I will stay again for sure. Lovely refurbished.…

Most taxi drivers will not know JO Hotel, it is better you tell them the old "Tropical Inn". This building is old but is still under renovation for more improvement like lift and restaurant etc. We have the family's room for 4 pax which is big and clean. The room has a separate sitting area and bedroom with good aircon, tv, fridge, kettle, wifi, comfortable bed and bathroom with all necessities. The only downside is there is no eateries in the area, but not a big problem as you are able to do a short walk to Komtar, City square and Night market. The staff is pleasant and helpful. Overall, a good place to stay if you love shopping area this area.

Hotel was previously known as Tropical Inn Hotel. Few minutes walk to KOMTAR and City square to shop or eat.. but alternatively, we jz get food thru Foodpanda or Grabfood Apps since the hotel do not have any restaurant in the building. Room was clean and met with all the basic requirements. Furniture was quite tired looking but the bed was comfortable. The only thing that I would point out was, the hotel is still undergoing renovation and we were woken up on both saturday and sunday morning with drilling sound. But if you jz need a night sleep, this hotel is truly sufficient. No In-Room dining.. Lobby looks nice. Overall.. with the amount we pay, Will recommend and will come back.
