Fives Hotel Johor Bahru City Centre

Great location. Walking distance to major malls, train station to/fro Singapore. Rooms big enough for solo travels or couples.

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.

Location next to custom and shopping mall, convenient for shoppers

Small , compact Additional water requires charges

Room was clean and nice. The staff at the reception were very friendly and efficient.

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..
