Top Taman Merdeka Hotel Reviews

DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Johor Bahru

10/10 Excellent

"Good for value of money"

Hotel O Villa De Rose

10/10 Excellent

"I will share my experience but its based for myself. If you need a hotel which is close to JB Custom and Singapore and it's very affordable then you may give this hotel a try. The photo of the room are on the various hotels platform and you can read other travelers review. The room may not be suitable for you if you are fussy and grumpy. For me the air con is very cold and the bed is very nice to sleep thus this is a big asset to me. The shower is not hot but neither cold. If you look from the perspective of price and decent sleep it's ok. If you feel"

Despite advising our check in time and confirmation that we were able to check in at 3pm, our keys arw not available as unit still under housekeeping status. Keys collected close to 5pm. We could have done so much things in that 2hrs waiting!"
