Fives Hotel Johor Bahru City Centre Reviews

The hotel is basic but convenient. It has the basic amenities. Not the best but nothing to complain for the price.

Walk across hotel is Komtar mall. These is a convenient store next to the hotel lift. You can buy mineral water and light snack inside the store. 5mins walk distance to KSL mall. Hotel staff is very helpful. Check in and out hotel is a breeze.

The family suite room was spacious and the staff allowed us to check in slightly earlier as I was travelling with old folks. However, the room was not sound proof and you will hear the liveband music (which is located below the hotel) quite clearly if u are staying at a low floor. Hence, I do not recommend staying in this hotel if you are a light sleeper. My stay in this hotel was average as the hotel compressor was faulty and it made alot of noise during the middle of the night (2am) and we had to call the maintenance dept to check and we had to switch off one of the Aircon.

The highlight of this hotel is really the location, just a minute walk away from jbcc, so convenient. No complains for the price honestly

Hotel location is ok, front desk can improve by operate faster. Bed is comfortable

Room is small but good enough for 2 person with 1 luggage. Location is good, very accessible to JBCC and City Square and near to checkpoint. Will consider booking a bigger room for my next visit.

Reception Service was friendly, just slow and steady. Our small for 2 single beds were pretty small but good enough for 2 x 20 inch luggages. It has the basic amenities in the room including a very small safety deposit safe except no fridge. The shower head is fixed to the wall which some guests will prefer not to have. Recommended for short stay only.

I’ve stayed here before and it was quite good, but this time the experience was very disappointing. The water heater didn’t produce any hot water. The air conditioner made a loud noise every 10–15 minutes, making it hard to sleep. The bathroom drainage was poor — I had to keep stopping while showering or it would flood.

If you can’t stand noise then this hotel might not be your choice as is just next to the busy road and with a pub downstairs which I could hear the singing even when I’m staying at the 12th floor. Location and service was good. It will be good if they could provide a moveable shower head rather then the fixed one.

Have been looking for a reasonably priced room in JB close to Komtar.  $50 rooms seem bad and $100+ seems needed for a good room. Was looking through google maps and chanced up on Fives..  The pics looked good and limited negative reviews.  I chanced booking a night which was actually cheaper booking through the Google maps link to trip.com rather than booking direct with trip. Entering the reception, it was well presented, the checkin staff were friendly and there was a convenience store open until 2am, with a bar and live band next door. I was staying on level 10. The corridor was clean and fresh.  My room was very clean, fresh bedding, clean towels, small safe in room, decent size TV but not a great selection of channels. Provided coffee, tea, water, toothbrush, etc… The blackout curtains in the room were good. Woke at 9am and the room was still dark. I’ll definitely be staying at Fives again..

It has a nice location, with just a few minutes' walk from City Square. The room is very clean and has almost everything that you need, except that there is no bar fridge. The breakfast is optional, with just RM30+ top up, which I find it's worth it. All their staff are well trained with very good service and attitude.

Overall still ok for the price paid if just need a 1x night stay only.  Location: great  Breakfast: very avg  Toiletries: shampoo/ shower wash: avg quality  Toilet layout: bad. (Dry area will be wet as no door to block out water; Water flow for shower & toilet bowl are weak too)

Good location and great service though no hands soap Security is good with access key to lift to go to the floor

Repeated stay. Very convenient location and will definitely come here again!
