The JB Central hotel is located in the Merlin Tower block in Johor Bahru. It has a strategic location that makes it convenient for visitors who are keen in staying in Johor Bahru city itself. I read an article about its owner of this hotel, on how he took over the hotel from a friend; and is working towards transforming it into a 3 star hotel. You can read this article here: -

I have stayed in this hotel for a few times. Though it has been renovated, I hope that more can be done for the individual rooms for example.
1) all rooms should be carpeted - a thicker carpet is of course preferred.
2) provide a mini bar ( fridge) in all rooms.
3) improvement on the bathroom - provide adequate toiletries, better towels and improve the water pressure.
4) there is an improvement in the breakfast servings - perhaps they can add more variety of food.
5) allow transit rates to be paid in cash rather than asking customers to pay for coupons.
On the whole, I think this hotel is comfortable and is good place to stay while I am in Johor Bahru. I understand that improvements in standards involve incurring higher cost for this hotel. In my case, I am prepare to pay a slightly higher rate for the room if it is more comfortable. Well, I do hope that the management will proceed quickly to achieve a 3 Star rating for this hotel. I have written a blog earlier this year on my stay in this hotel, here is the link
