We stayed there for one night,before leaving Malaysia and it wasn`t very good choice. Location is good - next to JB Sentral station and Woodland but it means noise all the night - forget about good sleeping time. The room looked clean before we found a bigcockroach. On the 17th floor! Breakfast - nothing special - watch out for hard-boiled... More

The location of this hotel is great, right next to the Malaysian border and the Causeway, and one of the first hotels you'll notice when walking from the station. Rooms are old, weary and not spotlessly clean (stains in the toilet, on the floor and in the bed linens) but very big and with nice views from the higher rooms.... More

Stayed with a girl friend at room 1813. This hotel is all about extremely convenient location, being right next to City Square mall and the Malaysian customs building. There is a 24-hour Indian coffee shop beside the hotel too, to pander to your late-night cravings. Delicious roti channai and tea! Since we were on the 18th floor, the hotel offered... More

Formerly Merlin Hotel. It's 120 RM.. so don't expect 5 stars standard. It's 3 star standard for its location and service but 2 star for everything else... The room is spacious and if you ask for a good view, you'll get it most of the time.. Ask for level 18 and above (even-numbered rooms have better view of johor) Bathroom... More
