Z Hotel Johor

Z Hotel Johor

10/10 Excellent
"This is a clean hotel, with a comfy bed in a top location. We’d never been to Johor Bahru before, but were told the Meldrum Walk Street Foods and the Bazar JB were cool to see. Because of the potential for rain, we wanted to be super close. This location was great! We could walk to all the sites. The staff were very friendly, giving great suggestions. "
