    good location

    Had a great time exploring local markets and the amusement park with friends. The friendly staff made things easy for us. Don't miss the buffet breakfast. it's a good deal at 45 RM! the location is close to many attractions, making it convenient for sightseeing.

    good breakfast
    cleanliness issues

    Good location, but cleanliness issues

    Staying at GBW Hotel was convenient due to its close proximity to attractions. The breakfast buffet offered a good selection, ensuring we started our days on a high note.

    Unfortunately, we faced several cleanliness issues. Our initial room had surprising maintenance problems, which left a less than desirable impression—definitely not what we anticipated during our visit.

    spacious room
    proximity to attractions
    ample space
    cold air conditioning
    necessary upgrades

    The stay was decent for a short getaway, primarily to explore nearby attractions like the Angry Birds Activity Park and the Johor Bahru Old Chinese temple, both just a short walk away. I appreciated the spaciousness of the Deluxe Queen Room, providing ample space to relax after a busy day. the air conditioning seemed to be a bit too cold and could use some adjustment options. While the hotel had potential, it is evident that some upgrades are necessary to enhance the overall experience.

    good selection
    cold air conditioning
    slippery bathroom floor

    The breakfast buffet offered a good selection.

    During my stay, the air conditioning was excessively cold and lacked proper adjustment options. the bathroom floors were dangerously slippery, making it unsafe for elderly guests.

    Great spot but needs some love

    Location is super convenient, just a short walk to City Square. The staff were really friendly and helpful, which was nice. The room was spacious, but the furniture felt kinda worn out. the shower took forever to get warm. Loved hanging out at the bar, though!

    comfortable room
    varied breakfast
    unresponsive staff
    dirty bedding
    faulty amenities

    Spacious and comfortable room with a good variety of breakfast options that included delicious Spanish dishes. the experience was marred by unresponsive staff who lacked professionalism. Issues with the room included a faulty door handle, unclean bedding, and a worn bathroom that was poorly maintained. The waiting area was overwhelmed with flies during check-in, which added to the overall unpleasant atmosphere.
