Fives Hotel Johor Bahru City Centre

I’m surprised to find Fives Hotel is beyond my expectations. First time staying at Fives hotel and it has so much more to praise. Firstly, location is good as it is located opposite of Komtar shopping centre. You can cross the road from Komtar shopping centre by a traffic light. Secondly, safety is excellent as there is a security guard manning the entrance. You need access card to take the lift to access your room. There is a convenient store just right at the side of the hotel lobby. We stayed in a family room with 1 queen bed and 2 single beds. Breakfast is sufficient to fill your stomach. All in all, it is a relatively good hotel for its pricing as jt includes breakfast. Lobby smells good. I would strongly recommend all to give Five a try. I’ve stayed at most hotels near CIQ area, this is better that the hotel next to Fives. 😊

A great location, suitable for tourists without transportation, but not ideal for those looking for a place to rest because the soundproofing is very poor. We were assigned a room across from the elevator, which seemed to be a space converted from an emergency exit or storage room, split into two. At night, there was loud singing from the bar downstairs, and around 5 AM, we could hear prayers from the mosque. We couldn’t get a good night’s sleep at all. People were walking back and forth in the hallway, and the doors in the neighboring rooms were opening and closing loudly. If you don’t mind the noise and like the location, it’s fine, but if you want to rest, you might want to choose a better place.
