Best Hospitality, Best Location, Came Back for Love”
This is our second time stay at this hotel, we previously booked for two nights and as soon as we arrived to the room, we called the receptionist to extend our stay but unfortunately the room was full (for weekends) and we came back to stay again after that. For our second stay, they don't request an RM 50 deposit and we can store our luggage with them. So let me recap my review if you can't get it in Agoda for the previous booking, the receptionist staffs are excellent, only the guy receptionist can't understand Bahasa so there was a language barrier between us but overall 3 of them are super nice. The breakfast is not buffet, you can buy 1 package of breakfast for RM 3.50 with the menu of the day (nasi lemak, fried beehoon/noodle/kwetiao) and the staff there are super nice as well, concierge, housekeeping all did great job and overall staffs are super nice and offering us excellent hospitality. The hotel is situated around the JBCC, I heard that this is an old hotel but renovated already but it looks like a new hotel. The parking area is super large and there are 24 levels of this building and the twin room is on the 24th floor with a view to Singapore. The lift is super fast too. There are 2 Rest&Go machine and one beverage vending machine at the lobby, ironing facilities just in front of the room door, complete amenities, 2 water bottle, kettle, coffee & tea, SDB, fridge and hot shower, but just the shower is weak and slow which need to be changed. Unfortunately on our own mistake, we booked the wrong type of room, Deluxe room is super large and super comfortable and the second stay was Superior room which looks exactly like Superior room, spacious but not as big as Deluxe room but we enjoyed both room very much. Both rooms have a desk with a mirror and table with nice chair. The AC is super cool, although you turn it off for the night, you can still feel cold because of the building AC. TV channels are nice with Singapore channels too. Lightning is super good,

Best Hospitality, Affordable, Convenient, Clean and Strategic Area”
I booked 2 nights for my first time staying in Johor Bahru. The check in was quick. There are 3 different front desk staff, 2 females and 1 male. The female front desk staff are excellent, very helpful and friendly. While the male one, he is good but not very understanding Bahasa so there was a bit of a misunderstanding because of the language barrier. The twin room is located on the 24th floor with the view of Singapore. The room is a mix of old and new vibrant but very well maintained, very clean and convenient. As soon as we arrived at the room we requested to extend but unfortunately the room was fully booked for the other 2 days (weekend) and I CAME BACK to stay in this hotel after 2 days (very satisfied). Housekeeping is excellent. There is no buffet breakfast here but you can expect to buy RM 3.5 for one package of nasi lemak / noodle / kwetiao / beehoon (anything available for the menu of the day) or 1 ala carte for RM 12.50. The restaurant staff is also very helpful, friendly and excellent as well as the rest of the staff in this hotel. You can expect to watch Singapore channels on the TV, ironing just in front of my hotel door, very fast Lift and 2 Rest & Go in the hotel lobby. There is only one cons here, the shower is weak (not strong and fast) but quite hot. Overall, I am very much satisfied with this hotel with its price, service, location and safety. Definitely will choose to stay here again on my next trip to JB.

Nice Stay”
Location : The hotel is centrally located in the heart of JB. It is within walking distances to the CS and JBCC and there are a lot of eateries surrounding the area. The taxi driver might not know the location, you can mention the former Tropical Inn. The hotel is located just the opposite of the Double Tree. It is easily reachable by cars and surely strategic. Lobby : The lobby is spacious in size and very clean too. The cleanliness of the area is simply spotless. The check in process is smooth and quick. I was briefed about car exiting the hotel and also the breakfast area. The lady attending me surely speaks super soft. Room : 1907, facing the city, the view is magnificent. I booked for Deluxe Queen but I got Deluxe triple. Thank you Jo Hotel for the upgrade. The beds are soft and very comfy. Amenities is complete, the fridge work, the TV works, the AC works and everything was perfect. The bathroom is big but the draining is super slow. Took 40 mins for the bath water to drain completely. Other than that, all okay. Breakfast : The breakfast is simple, fried rice, fried noodle and sausages. Simple yet tasty. I love it so much. Facility : I was told that can only use lift 3,4,5,6 to get to level 19. The 1 and 2 arent reaching there. Thats good. The lift is ancient yet so beautiful. The parking is so small. But that night, a chef from nearby restaurant guided us to the underground parking. You should make a signage about the underground parking because there are literally none. Satisfaction : 9.5 / 10.00. I will stay again for sure. Lovely refurbished.

Amazing Hotel!”
I was shocked, i booked it for only rm80 and the room was far more than i expected. Room was clean, location was strategic and best of all is the view. It is facing the JB center and the sea. Will definitely book again this place.

quite satisfied with the price paid. Room on the top level overlooking Causeway is superb. The only complaint is - bathroom is not clean and water pressure is too slow.

Value for money”
2nd time staying in this hotel. As usual book family rooms and this hotel is truly a hidden gem! Hotel Jo provides an Extremely spacious family room compared to other hotels i stayed in. The reception was as usual polite, and checking in/out was a breeze. The hotel is clean, hallway to rooms smells good. Eventho the hotel is kinda old, it does not have a musky smell at all. The plus point of staying here would be the Strong Wifi! This would be my all time PREFERRED hotel to stay in should I stay over during weekends or for a short holiday with my family. Hopefully the hotel can come up with some loyalty or membership card for frequent traveller. Anyway, i have truly enjoyed my stay here.

Spacious Family Room”
Family room got partition between bedroom & living room with television. Lamp & air conditioner controller were unique like an old version movie attach on side table. Got all complete needs heater & chiller. Private parking were most awesome. Using ticket but FOC when you check out. Everything were fine. Only the small shower head were on top of bathtub. Since I'm usually not use it, the water will flow in the bath tub and the access to the shower head is quite narrow. A bit hard for my mom that have problem with her leg.

No Fuss Hotel”
If you are just looking for a place to sleep for 1 or 2 nights in JB for short vacation, I would highly recommend Jo Hotel because it is bang for the bucks. You got a nice clean air conditioned room with clean attached toilet, towels, shampoo, shower gel, toothbrush, tooth paste all provided. Good location too, near to SIngapore custom.

Hotel location is near the city square and jb sentral,, the hotel management should build a bigger hotel name in front of the building, because i mistaken the building as office building. Room a spacious and comfortable, have hot water kettle, mini fridge, and makeup table, bathroom also spacious, but the water heater is not working. Overall i am satisfied with the hotel and the price i paid for
