Great Value for the Money”
We stayed here for three nights in November. We thought the location of the hotel was excellent--close to the bus station, near the large night market, and right on the main road leading to 3 large modern malls. The bus station could be access by an overhead walkway from City Square Mall, a 5 minute walk from the hotel. The accommodations were not luxurious, but we had everything we needed and the room was clean and beds were comfortable. Two bottles of water were left for us every morning. The only downside for me was the sewer smell in the lobby. There were bags of charcoal sitting around and I also found one in my room, tucked back in a corner--I am assuming to try to combat the sewer smell, although we did not smell it in our room--only in the lobby. But the sewer smell seems to be a problem in Johor in general, and was not limited to the lobby of our hotel. All in all, we were happy with our stay here and would definitely stay again if we are ever back in Johor.

Comfortable, easy stay”
Came on 22 December. Booked a king room last minute as I decided to extend my JB trip. This hotel can be seen from afar, with its striking green and black facade. It is of walkable distance to JB City Square, about 5 mins. Area is a little dangerous to walk around at night, I suggest to grab back. The room was large and spacious, bed was comfy and toilet was huge. The shower however was extremely tiny, unfitting for the large toilet. Room was clean. Aircon took awhile to get cold, and the Wi-Fi was pretty slow. The only good thing was that the TV had Netflix (own account) and Youtube. It is good for a one-night stay. The uncle outside the hotel was the best part of our experience. He was extremely kind and helps guests to direct the grab to hotel lobby, since Z Hotel isn't recognised in Grab Map yet. Tipped him but I think we saw the tip getting taken away by receptionist. (hope he gets paid well). Overall, for the price, I'll definitely come back if I am coming for a short trip.

Aesthetically pleasing ”
The design of the room was good and furnitures were new, well maintained and stylish. I especially liked the design of the room number. The view from the window overlooked the johore straits which was nice. It was very easy navigating to Z hotel, there was convenience stores nearby, and cafes were within comfortable walking distance as well

Affordable, clean and convenient!”
Pros: Walking distance to city square jb Big room! (and cheap) Very interesting designs Clean space, and nice smelling lobby Very helpful and friendly staff Private parking area (with a car lift) Cons: The toilet was huge, but the shower area was tiny. Overall super value for money. Clean and nicely designed hotel. I guess I want to say that the area was rather congested on a Saturday night but that really had nothing to do with the hotel because it was really conveniently located. I would recommend this to anyone going to johor for a staycation.

Love this hotel”
I enjoyed my stay at Z Hotel very much. It's a very nice hotel at a very affordable price. I booked a deluxe king room. The room was spacious, clean and new with a modern interior. Love every single corner in the room. The bed was comfortable. We parked our car in their multi car park lot which feels like our own private parking. It is walking distance to JB City Square mall and few other eateries. I would love to come back and stay at this hotel again.

Amazing Place”
Gave Z Hotel a try after reading all the good reviews. It was certainly a great staycay! The ambience, the service & cleanliness was top notch ! Near to City Square & KOMTAR JBCC, also a night market(Pasar Karat) just right opposite and there’s a small minimart at the ground level. The noise from the night performance didn’t bother us as our rooms were facing the customs/sea. Definitely will come back the next time I’m in JB. Thank you so much for all the staffs for making out stay a wonderful one !

Awesome stay!”
The staff here are friendly and really great! Celebrated my boyfriend's birthday here and they helped me out with a simple decoration in the room. Even surprised us with a birthday cake. Room is spacious and really cosy. There's even a jenga game in the room we booked. Hotel location was great as well, overlooking the sea and Jalan Dhoby area. Really near checkpoint which is awesome! Thank you for the great time we had at Z Hotel :)

Worth it!”
Check-in was fast and easy. Please note that the hotel will collect RM100 deposit upon your arrival and that can only be in cash term. Hotel will also deduct the room payment on the day itself, and that can be via your cc. We were told that our room (non-smoking) wasn't ready when we reach hence the staff is very nice to offer a smoking room instead and assured us there won't be any smell. I was very reluctant at first, but she offered another step forward to allow me to take a look and check the room first before deciding. We went up to room 1411. No smell, true enough. Everything went so well till we discovered the aircon has an error msg during the day. We quickly inform the staff before we head off to our breakfast, and they said that they will get the aircon checked. When we came back from our shopping, we were told to change room instead because they are unable to fix the aircon. We agreed. So far so good in our new room 2010. Perfect! Many shops nearby too. Thanks Z Hotel. :)

Worth the money”
Enjoyed the quick response over the app but customer service there can be improved. Requested for extra toiletries and the person arrived an hour later, which by then I have already collected it at the reception. Perhaps it was due to lesser manpower nearing midnight. Room was clean and spacious, location is great, just try to stay higher floors as it might be noisy sometimes. Z hotel massage was nothing impressive, should have went to other massage places nearby

New trendy hotel”
Z Hotel is a modern trendy hotel. Used to be a residencial hotel. Its located close to many places eg CIQ, City Square, Komtar JBCC, Kotaraya Galleria, local eateries, restaurants, night market Bazaar Karat, and more. Its new fresh ambience make our stay so pleasant that we just stayed in the room watching You tube on the smart flat screen tv. View was so electrifying whether its in the day or night. Hassle free during check in and out. It was raining on the 1st few days and Z Hotel even provide umbrellas for the guests. Will definitely recommend this hotel to our friends and will return in due time.

New, clean, friendly staff & good location!”
Walkable distance from City Square, right beside the famous curry fish head (you can wake up early to beat the queue and then go back and nap lol). The hotel design is modern and I love the color theme of the hotel - grey and white. Room was spacious, bed was comfy and toilet was clean. There was a night market during weekends which was right in front of Z Hotel, and a mama shop right below the hotel. Definitely a huge recommend to everyone who is looking for affordable accommodation near to SG customs.

YOU GET MORE THAN WHAT YOU PAID”
First of all, you did not get what you paid! YOU GET MORE THAN WHAT YOU PAID. Strategic location, lots of places and shops to eat/foods are everywhere, clean hotel with very chic concepts. Cleanroom, lovely bathroom and things I like the most I can watch Netflix on the television. Who watches TV these days? Brilliant idea I must say. The only downside is the water pressure at the sink is so slow. I can't even wash my hand properly. But since I'm just staying for 1 night, that does not bother me. It can be improved of course. Have massage and manicure services at level 2. Very convenient and the massage worth the price. Overall, I had an amazing experience staying at the Z hotel. I will stay here whenever I'm coming over to JB.

Tremendously pleasant stay”
We love the exterior & interior of this relatively new hotel. Z Hotel was previously where J A Residence hotel located. Its so conveniently located near CIQ, City Square mall, Komtar & etc. You can easily find eateries everywhere around there. Across is the popular night market Bazaar Karat. U can enjoy watching tv with multi channels, you tube, netflix in your meticulously good air con room. Hotels' staffs are friendly and approachable. The only downside was the room door's knob which was very tight & impossible to turn n lock it thus we left it unlock whenever we are in the room. The hotel have to look into this matter fast. Other than that theres no reason for not coming back to Z Hotel.

THUMBS UP ! ”
As an ex-hotelier, this is amongst the best boutique or budget hotel in JB area. The location is good, whereas it was located in the middle of the town, just a minutes walk to the nearby Pasar Karat, City Square and Komtar. The Parking is ample and modern, where u can park your car in the upper level by using the elevator. The hotel itself are spacious and clean, it was 100% satisfaction for my stay. Keep it up the good work and may Z Hotel survive during this difficult period by providing the best accommodation in the town.

Convenient location walking distance from the JB custom and city square mall”
Staff friendly, new hotel,spacious rooms,toilet, comfortable beds. didn’t have bathtub,breakfast room. Room was clean except lamp shade,paintings were dusty. less than 10 mins walk from City Square Mall. Exit from MacDonald, Turn Left , cross a small zebra crossing continued walking down straight. Will passby 7-11, handphone shops, Kam Long ah Zai restorant( famous fish head), T hotel, JB hotel and will reached Z hotel at the end of the row of shophouses whereby you can see the sea. Opp hotel at the other side of the busy main road is OCBC bank, Pasar malam place( can see street artist performing), Indian temple and Puteri pacific hotel. Along the walk you will come across some homeless people, counterfeit goods sellers, ladyboys standing on the street waiting for clients. Although we felt uncomfortable at first with our 2 young children but we realised that they were harmless, busy with their daily business,can’t be bothered by non-locals and doesn’t set their eyes on us at all.
