This stay didn't disappoint either. The staff were friendly and handled requests quickly, making for a very smooth check-in experience. From the front desk service to the room's cleanliness and the overall environment, everything felt comfortable and reassuring. The location is convenient and the price is reasonable. Every time I stay here, I can count on consistent quality. It's definitely a hotel I'll choose again in the future.

This is my 5th? 6th? time staying at Atelier. They are my top choice as I always have business at Pelangi. This time, I tried booking the Junior Suite, an upgrade from my usual SQ/SK option. Specially for their bathtub as I needed a nice mental break.
However, I noticed the bathtub does not even fill. It drains as quickly as it fills so that not only waste a lot of water, it doesn't even fill beyond 10cm of water. It was such a shame I looked forward to enjoying this amenity. The toilet drains really slowly also at one point I panicked because i thought it will flood.
All other amenities were amazing. Aircon, bed, tv, perfect. I had an amazing stay I didn't want to go out after my business appointment. I just stayed in and ordered takeout meals.
I love Atelier!!! Please consider fixing the bathtub plug so will waste less water and enhance bathtub experience.
The location is excellent. Near supermarket and restauranta. So convenient and close to everything I needed,
The room was clean but its quite small. Friendly staff and you can do your self check in. So easy.
Considering the very reasonable rate, this hotel offers great value for money.
Clean room and good location. Can walk anywhere and lots of shops around. Good sound insulation from human neighbours. Birds outside is cute but need to get used to bird chirping and road sound.

This hotel is great, conveniently located near R&F and the JB immigration office, as well as JB Station. It's also easy to find food nearby. However, the hotel's current name isn't yet discoverable on maps. So, if you're using Grab or setting your destination, you'll need to use the old hotel name: Fives Hotel Meldrum. That name is accurate on location maps. If you search for the current hotel name, the address isn't correct. So, please use the old hotel name, Fives Hotel Meldrum. Hopefully, the name and address will be updated to match soon, to make it easier to find.

The room was very clean, and the owner's design was thoughtful. They even had an electric mosquito repellent device outside the room (though I still recommend bringing an extra one, as I did encounter some mosquitoes). You can tell if the bathroom is occupied by the light. If you're taking a taxi, the location might feel a bit remote, but there's actually a gas station with a convenience store just a short walk away.
Considering the low price, this is truly excellent.
However, there are a few things to note: doing laundry costs 7 MYR per cycle, and air conditioning is 13 MYR per day. Also, since the entire building is single-story, there's still a possibility of encountering small insects like ants in the room.
The place is okay and surrounded by small shops. I also enjoyed going to Aeon Mall to buy some gifts. The only downsides were that there was no hairdryer and I could hear noise from the adjacent rooms. Overall, it's nice, but I was hoping for more consideration. At this price, it doesn't seem too cheap, and JB might be a better choice.

The hotel staff are friendly and ready to attend to your request. The room has aircon and instant water heater for shower. There is WiFi in the room. It provides kettle, ironing board and iron, shampoo and bath soap, small fridge and bath towels. Complimentary tea and coffee and bottled water daily. The window has blackout curtain as well as a day curtain for extra sunlight into the room. Seating area, big mirror and dressing table, TV, side table and lamp.
I like it that the room is spacious and water pressure is good. It provides Muslim prayer mat and Quran translation in the room. Hang the card at your door if you want the room to be cleaned. Short walk to Larkin bus terminal and eateries and shops. For those who drive, there is parking space within the hotel.

The hotel's location is pretty good. From the Johor Bahru CIQ exit, you can follow the connecting bridge all the way to R&F Mall, and the hotel is nearby. Google Maps' directions aren't great; it's easier to come out from R&F Mall, pass Da Shanghai Dim Sum and Jaya Supermarket, then cross the road to reach the hotel. Plus, there's an elevator, which is convenient for travelers with luggage.
The hotel's hygiene is good; it's quite clean. Check-in is done via machine, which is very simple. The dormitory rooms don't have air conditioning, and you can't open the windows, so you rely on a fan for cooling. It was fine in May, but in August, it would definitely be a bit uncomfortable.
Otherwise, everything else is completely worth the price. It's suitable for those traveling to Singapore and staying in Johor Bahru.
I would stay here again next time, and I hope the dormitory rooms will have air conditioning then.
Very Good

AAnonymous UserThe location is convenient, but the room cleanliness needs improvement. The air conditioning was not functioning well, and service response was quite slow. Hope the hotel can improve in these areas.

GGuest UserIt is very clean and offers good service and amenities. Ventilation could be improved if the windows at both ends of the corridor were opened more frequently. It would also be even better if the room or bathroom had a small window facing the corridor
AAnonymous UserH3 hotel is a budget hotel in Yong Peng. The accommodation is comfortable, cleanliness acceptable.
⭕ car parking space provided.
❌ no electric kettle, no lift(quite a problem if the room is on the higher floor).

I recently stayed at Hako Hotel (Taman Universiti) in Skudai and had a pleasant experience overall. The standout feature is definitely the bed; it was exceptionally comfy, providing a great night's sleep after a long day of traveling. The room layout is modern and efficient, making the most of the space.
Regarding the facilities, I really appreciated the water dispenser provided in the lobby, which is a convenient and eco-friendly touch for refilling bottles. Parking was also completely stress-free, as there are ample parking lots available right around the building. My only minor critique would be the toilet cleanliness, which I found to be average—it wasn’t dirty, but it could definitely benefit from a more thorough deep clean to match the high standard of the bedroom. Overall, it is a great, value-for-money choice for a short stay in Skudai!
AAnonymous UserWent with 4 kids. House big enough. 3 bedrooms.
Master room was big and spacious. With a floor mattress. a king size bed and attached toilet.
2 common bedrooms. 1 room with a king/queen size bed and single size bed. The other room with 1 king/queen size bed.
Living room has a sofa bed. Possible for 1 pax to sleep comfortably.
Toilet looks old. And master bedroom toilet has an odour. Quite bad. No complains about sound. But heard one or two loud door slams only which i thought is okay because it happens at home as well. The wind, the kids, accidentally. Neighbours seems good. No noise from them and don't even bump into any. But from each room cannot hear each other.
Morning around 530am will hear the morning prayers from one of the common bedroom that has 2 beds. The other rooms didnt hear it or perhaps deep asleep. Haha. And another prayer session around 430pm afternoon. Last about 30min. If very tired should be able to fall back to zzz again. My kids did.
Towel has a smell. But we don't use as we use to bringing our own towels.
I like that there is security counter but not to deposit your luggage prior check in. Anything just ask them and check in is very smooth. Instructions from owner was very clear and direct. Less than 5 min to check in. Early check in allowed at a charge if there's no guest prior.
Very nice owners. Reply via whatsapp. And they provided small water bottles and coffee sachets. Quite surprise they do as most, doesn't provides. And a few trash bags .. good!
Overall the stay was ok as we only sleep there. No other activities.

GGuest UserCons: No locker provided; Not-welcoming receptionist; access card not working; roommate talking to the phone till midnight which was disturbing, earplugs given but ineffective to block noise; room door broken and couldn't lock; toilet was smelly and floor was always wet; some dirt on the table inside my cubicle; see-through blind; the dorm was probably meant for long-term working occupants as there were some weird rules.
Pros: walking distance to Komtar JBCC and CIQ; towel (dirty), toothbrush and earplugs (not useful) were provided; being the most effortable option at time of booking.
This was my first time staying in a capsule hostel. Honestly, it was a mixed and slightly negative experience but for a short rest it is still marginally acceptable.
