They always say that a photograph can tell a thousand words. But in the case of this hotel, the photograph shown on the internet certainly did not say anything about the hotel. As far as I am concern, I always look at the lobby first to have a rough idea about what to expect. In this case, the lobby was... More

Was feeling like get cheated by the photo shown on website. It's a really old hotel and quite dusty in the room. And I was very "lucky" to stay in a room with air-conditioner not function well, make noise all night long and not cold at all!

The reception told me that they have only a room available. So i board a cab from JB CIQ straight to Zen Zeng Hotel. The exterior of the hotel looks very bad but... More

The Zen Zeng Hotel is what it is meaning it's a budget hotel. For 53RM a night (10quid), it is comfortable, quiet and basic. My room had its own bathroom, TV receiving Singapore channels as well as Malaysian. The rooms are cleaned everyday and the staff are friendly. One of the best things is the security cards for the hotel... More

First of all remember this is a cheap, one star hotel. I personally pride myself for being flexible and able to stay in 5* hotels as well as 1* hotel such as the Zen Zeng Hotel. So please keep in mind you've been "warned" this is a one star hotel, a cheap hotel, a very basic hotel and one that... More

We booked a night in this hotel to visit Johor Bahru before going into Singapore. We were too early checking in so we decided to leave our packs with the receptionists who graciously accepted them whilst we explored JB. JB Central was about a 15 minute walk from the hotel and the nearest mall about 10 minutes away. The room... More

Zen Zeng was a basic, no frills hotel. The staff were extremely helpful in providing anything I needed—from directions to finding an adaptor socket. Housekeeping service was done every day, so my room was immaculately clean for my entire 3-night stay, with clean beddings/sheets each time. They have hot and cold water dispenser available for guests (located on the 2nd... More

I read the positive reviews on Tripadvisor and decided to book a room in the Zen Zeng hotel. I knew this was a budget hotel and perhaps my expectations were a little too high. But when we arrived I was pretty disappointed. The neighborhood was not what you would call attractive. It looked if it had known better times. It's... More

The room location of the hotel was a little vague and needed some local guidance to actually find the place. However, most local cabbies know of it so if you were to take the cab, it would be found easily.Being a little bit off, there is little to be said about the surrounding. Take a cab out to town where... More
