Swiss-Inn, Johor Bahru, Malaysia

 HOTEL RATING: 7.5/10

Welcome back, my dear readers! I hope you have been well and have been looking forward to another blog post update. Heh. So today, I'll be reviewing my stay at Swiss-Inn, Johor Bahru!


Overview
Well, here's an overview of the place. Swiss-Inn is a 3-star hotel situated in the heart of Johor Bahru's city centre. City Square Johor Bahru Shopping Mall will be the closest mall to the hotel which would be a 10-15 minutes drive depending on traffic. I would say that it is of a walkable distance too. Bazaar Karat (Pasar Karat) and Little India would all be around the same distance as well, and the main attraction such as Legoland would be around 22 km away. Larkin Sentral, the main bus station in Johor would also be about a 10-15 minutes drive from the hotel.

I checked-in on the 15th of July, 2016, and the price was RM330 for a 2 night stay in their Cosy Room, and the price was inclusive of tax and service charge. 

Cozy Room

The Cozy Room is only a 18m² room. You can opt for either a double bed, or 2 single beds. 1 extra pillow is provided and is kept at the storage compartment above the open wardrobe, and beside it would be a safe box. Towards the end of the room, there is a small working desk and a stool, and right in front of the bed on the wall would be a LCD TV, and of course, WiFi is provided. It's a very simple room with all the necessities that you'll need.

The Bathroom

The hotel room is considered pretty small, but they did a good job in separating the shower area and toilet area. Right after you open the room door, the shower area would be on your left, as seen in the picture below. It looks rather cramped in the pictures, but I assure you that it is fine, and not that bad. Both the shower area and toilet area is pretty spacious, I would say.

And if you're wondering where the basin area is, well, it's right beside the wardrobe. It has just enough of space for anyone to walk in and out of it effortlessly.

This hotel does NOT have a pool, but there is a in-house food and beverage outlet. Room service is available too, and I tried it. It was pretty reasonable - comparing it to other hotels who charges twice as much, and the food was good.

Facilities and Services include:

• 1 Restaurant On Site
• Snack Bar
• Fitness Center
• Billiards
• Front Desk Services- 24-hour Front Desk, Luggage Storage

Check-in time: From 3pm

Check-out time: Until 12pm- 1pm

I would definitely rate this hotel a 7.5/10 as it is pretty close by to many eateries around and yes, I got my money's worth. I hope this has helped you narrow down your options if you're ever looking for a place to stay around Johor Bahru, Malaysia! Till then. xx
