Hotels near Surau Sulaiman Kampung Tarom, Johor Bahru

First of all, the hotel is brand new. The hotel is very close to the JB city centre yet located in a very quiet surroundings. Secured indoor parking. The 2 Bedroom Suite is definitely worth every penny...extremely generous in space, a very functional kitchen, spacious dining area and living room. Would definitely come back with family & kids as they have a nice kids pool at level 5 with nice view of Johor straits & also Singapore!

I am a frequent stayer of Amari JB Hotel. Overall, my experience at the Hotel was excellent. The combination of good service, comfortable rooms, and convenient amenities made for a memorable stay. Overall, a great choice if you’re in Johor Bahru. I’d definitely stay here again! Highly recommend.

Stayed for a night in Holiday Inn hotel as we sent the car for servicing at the workshop. There was a long line during check in even at 3pm. Rooms were not ready. But they did service recovery by giving free food at the restaurant near the lobby. Cleanliness wise was disappointing. There was blood stains on the pillow cover so I guess they didn’t even change the covers of the bed. Not to mention that the pillows smell awful. This is not my first time staying in holiday inn and I hope they improve their cleanliness standards. Holiday Inn, please look into this matter.

Very conveniently located near to KSL mall and other amenities around the area. Room was clean and have facilities for guests to enjoy. But food variety for buffet was so so, and the water spray from shower head in my room was weird..instead of spraying in one direction, the water sprayed out downwards and also to the left, resulting in a weak water pressure and turning the tap only makes the water spray all over the place even more. Did not call front desk to change room or get a plumber as it is too much of a hassle. Decent for the price paid overall but could do some maintenance.

Celebrated the New year here! The staffs very friendly. Special thanks to Ollie and Khoo and also the gentleman staff assisting on the carpark. The lobby is small but greeny outside the sitting area. Just across Pasar Karat. The room are big, clean and the bed is so comfortable. Definitely to come back and stay again. You will be able to see the causeway bridge too.

Fives Hotel Meldrum is a newly opened property in October 2023. It is 850m by walk from Johor Bahru Customs. To get to the hotel, you would need to use the link bridge near the customs that leads to R&F Mall. Just before reaching the mall, head down from the bridge and walk towards the direction of Grand Blue Wave Hotel (GBW). The property is located beside the back of GBW. A 24hrs security personnel is stationed at the main entrance of the hotel. Upon my arrival, the Front Desk Staff had requested a RM200 deposit for my check in registration. The rooms are situated from the first to ten floors. There is no fourth level in this building. I was accommodated in a Standard Queen Room (No. 311). Although the room offers a window, it faces the wall of a building. There is an ongoing construction site located beside the hotel, which I perceived to last for another year or more. Unfortunately, the construction noise is audible which only ended at 10pm during my weekday stay. I later approached the Night Manager and paid a RM40 upgrade to stay in a Standard King Room with no window (No. 308). There is no noise as this room is located in the middle section of the building. Local, Singapore TV and Malaysian radio station channels are available for entertainment in the room. The SMART TV also offers Netflix and YouTube. There are two USB charging ports and three power sockets for your mobile device charging needs. The air-conditioner functions well and keeps the room cool. Shower gel, shampoo with conditioner, toothbrush and paste are provided. The shower head is fixed to the bathroom wall. I found the water pressure to be acceptable, but the temperature is lukewarm. A-lar carte breakfast is offered at RM25 per person, though I did not consume my breakfast at the property. Nearby the hotel, there are several coffeeshops located behind a public carpark that serve breakfast. Among them is Restoran Ah Bee Bak Kut Teh (Pork Ribs Soup) which is a popular eatery among the locals. There are also convenience stores and halal eateries located within walking distance from the hotel. Connoisseur Food Generation, a trendy food court is situated a 5-min walk from the hotel. This place has many food stalls that offer a wide variety of cuisine. There is also live band during my dining there. Whilst the location may not be perfect, Fives Hotel Meldrum is great for those who are seeking something new and an affordable stay in Johor Bahru.

The room was not fully cleaned up on entering the room at 7pm, and they forgot to give us keys to lock the room door but it was a 2 room unit with a shared main entrance so we had to request for keys at night to lock the door safely for the next few days. We checked in with the owner in the afternoon but the jam coming in was very bad so we had to rush off for our appointments. The check in process was clumsy and they insisted on taking our passport photos that Anju didn't require and a RM200 deposit that was only returned upon check out. The owner didn't register our car to the parking lot and we were stuck at the carpark for a few minutes while we tried to exit the carpark for supper. There was puke on the shower wall, hand prints on the mirror, and dots of puke in the toilet & sink. So I did some scrubbing to make it liveable since we're staying for 3 days. The coffee table also had hair and dandruff from previous user so it wasn't wiped down after use. The bed is nice and firm, I actually had a good night sleep on the bed as compared to the lousier beds at Anju. Unit provided us with cutleries, cookware and utensils and working washing machine which we utilised. Checking out was Abit messy because we cannot handover the keys and the carpark access card before leaving the carpark and 1 told us to handover at level 8 while the staff suddenly turned up at our door at 11.45am while we were still packing up. In the end we agreed to checkout at the carpark exit.. Price wise between YJYQ & ANJU, I would say YJYQ is more pocket friendly. And when I were to bring my family over for holiday, I would book YJYQ for the 2 bedroom join units. We also received a small door gift. 😀 Overall I personally like staying at R&F.

It is a bit tedious when doing self check in, but no problem, the security was very helpful to guide & show from taking the keys & card from the mailbox until ur parking location. Basic amenities are provided, but if u come with family, no worries, utensils for basic cooking are provided. Basic amenities from toothbrush, bedroom slipper & towels r provided but no iron & ironboard. I would say that the bed is the most firm mattress I've slept on. As for me, I like it, but for some others, it is like sleeping on a pile of cardboard boxes 😂.. disappointment is no sea view as shown on the photo & parking is seriously stressful 😕... overall, satisfied with the stay.

It's a king bed room, the location is good and room is very cleanliness, the staff is kindly, and serves with smile always.
