Went to Straits view because of the reviews here. Was very disappointed. Room was average. There was a dead fly at the window and carpets were old and ratty. Air conditioner took a long time to start up. Location was inconvenient. No pool so brought my children to see the fish at the pond. Even that was a disappointment, water... More

I had to spend a night in JB, and looked up tripadvisor for hotel recommendation. Lo and behold, I came across the Straits View Hotel. Rated No 1, I decided to give it a shot. It was a major disappointment. A spider on the bed, leftover hair in the bathroom kind of sum up the experience. The friendly reception is... More

Very nice hotel. The king size bed it's really comfortable and the room is very spacious and really clean. Plus the rate is also reasonable. The lobby design is great with lots of beautiful painting all over. Not only that the staff is really friendly and helpful. It's also quite close to Singapore border, will take about 10 minutes driving.

The hotel has been renovated in the last 4 years. The rooms and service has remained excellant. The staff are caring and polite. The best value in Malaysia.

I'm very impressed with the cleanliness and hospitality of this hotel. Although it's only a small hotel, my family really enjoy our stay here. The rate also reasonable and the location near to the famous Danga Bay. The hotel has no swimming pool and provide very basic breakfast (fried koeyteow, white bread, boiled egg, tea and coffee). There's a row... More

Hotel is not located in the town centre but worth it. The lobby has been refurbished with a superb design, alas not the rooms. Still, they are very pleasant and a very good price for such a large room with great view, huge bed, very clean, with tea/coffee facilities, fridge with beers and TV. For a late evening on the...

This old Hotel has magnificant views from all rooms. It has King size beds that are very comfortable. There are 2 good eating venues on site and the staff are very obliging. A basic breakfast of coffee, toast and boiled eggs.is included in the fare. It has TV and bar fridge. Good value if you are on a budget.
