2-Star Hotels in Johor, Malaysia

This hostel 🏨 is genuinely great! I dare say it's unbeatable for its price point. The host keeps the place meticulously clean and tidy. The common lounge area is designed predominantly in black, with a bar-like long table perfect for guests to have coffee and chat. They even provide a gas stove and cookware for guests free of charge. That's incredibly thoughtful! It's absolutely perfect for backpackers looking for a temporary stopover in JB! One thing to note is that this hostel is alcohol-free and pork cooking is prohibited, so travelers should be aware. And finally, a pleasant surprise is that the hostel has a cat that often cocks its head, super cute ớ ₃ờ! Overall, this hostel is truly an excellent place for backpackers to stay.

Clean hotel with clean room. Good hairdryer, dries hair quickly. Good tv and comfortable bed. Many eateries all around the hotel vicinity, there’s also a laundry shop near the hotel. Massage shops also just next door. Easy check in and check out. Eco hotel because the toiletries are in permanent bottles so zero waste on toiletries that way. Toothbrush and coffee available at the reception to take if needed. There’s lift at hotel for easy floors access. However the toilet is really very small and the arrangement of toilet bowl and sink is quite uncomfortable, too tight a space. Also the shower head angle is very bad and difficult to adjust. Bad toilet experience due to the layout of toilet and facilities. Other than that, it’s quite a nice stay

Recently transitioned to the Swing & Pillows brand, with ongoing renovation that's now largely complete. The all-important Quality of Welcome, so rare in JB hotels, is outstanding. Kudos to Umar, Jason and the team. 👍🏼 😍. Check in is fast and efficient. Keypad code for entry to the property if reception unattended may seem obvious, but it's a big help with both security and quality of life for hotel guests. Rooms are truly spotless, towels and linens are new and fresh, the bathrooms functional and the showers 🚿 enjoyable. All these things are rareties that are not to be taken for granted with JB hotels in this price range. By the way, even the Single Room No Windows is fairly spacious and the aircon and WiFi (do select the 5GHz band) are very effective. An easy, and strong, recommendation from me. I've been visiting JB for over 15 years, lived in JB for over a year before Covid-19 and have been super critical of JB hotels (price, quality, service, cleanliness and security / safety concerns) over the years. Swing & Pillows @Johor Bahru is a successful transformation of an old property. Well done 👏🏼 💕.

So, the hotel stay? Let's just say it wasn't winning any ”Most Likely to Be Remembered Fondly” awards. The Wi-Fi signal was so weak, it made dial-up look like warp speed. The staff seemed to have attended the ”Charm School for Robots” – graduating with honors in monotone efficiency. As for entertainment, the cable was flatter than a week-old roti canai, and local TV might as well have been broadcasting from Mars, linguistically speaking. Thankfully, there was a 24-hour mamak for emergency mee goreng runs. A barbershop next door offered the hope of a pre-9 PM trim, assuming you could beat the early-bird special to receding hairlines. And a mamak convenience store stood guard, also clocking out at 9 PM sharp.

Mainly stayed for one night to catch a flight, so my expectations weren't high. There are plenty of food options nearby. However, the bathroom facilities could definitely use an update; the restroom was a bit subpar.

ImpInitially hesitant about this hotel based on reviews, but our 1st night changed our mind — we ended up staying another nigh on 4th! Not flashy, but for the budget, the room cleanliness was top-notch, especially the bedsheets & pillows — super clean & comfy 👍 Azul, the staff we met on night 2, was awesome & made us feel welcome 🙏 Appreciated his help with our requests! Rate was a big plus compared to nearby hotels. Definitely coming back 😊

sorry tak amik gmbr surrounding but so far puas hati berbaloi byr murah walaupun bilik kecik sikit but issokey murah kan

Show on the app said some room have window , so I requested for window room but get the room without windows , feelings stuffy when go in to the room , No free public parking on weekdays, as what the trip.com mentioned public parking is free ...

Hello everyone. My review on my stay at this hotel as follows: 1) location and parking is a huge plus. 2) affordable for the price you pay but be smart on which dates youre going to book BUT... 1) cleanliness could be improved. Trash bins are full and not cleaned until the next day 2) the most ridiculous is there is only one power plug in the room. ANNOYING! 3) no mini fridge

The check-in is very easy in their self service machine. However you do need Rm50 in cash to leave as your deposit. This MUST be cash and MUST be one note of 50 ringgit. This was quite annoying since they have card terminal and could take this deposit by blocking money on the card. The rooms are tiny, clean and comfortable. I slept pretty well. You get to control the fan in your room. There is no toilet paper in the toilets!
