Ulasan Eight Days Boutique Hotel - Mount Austin

As a Singaporean who frequently stays at hotels in Johor Bahru, this was the first time I encountered a check-in policy like this. The booking was made under my name, and both my Malaysian bf and I were present at check-in. However, the reception insisted on using only my identification for registration and required me to handle the tourism tax, refusing to use my boyfriend's MyKad for the registration process. I found this surprising because other hotels in JB that I've stayed at have been more flexible and allowed my partner to be registered using his MyKad when we checked in together. It would have been helpful if this policy had been communicated more clearly beforehand.nThat said, the stay itself was generally fine. My feedback is mainly regarding the check-in experience, which felt unnecessarily rigid compared to other hotels in the area.

Located at Austin height near to my work place. Surrounding got lots of foods store.

Great cleanliness and good service! Unfortunately, the poor isolation made it a bit noisy at night.

clean, convenience go any where at mount austin.

For this price, it’s a clean and comfortable stay. Good for one night in JB. Near to good food

One of the better budget hotel that we had stayed. Clean and have all necessary amenities, will stay again.

Clean room with very friendly staff. There is security guard at night. Feel safe. will definitely be back. 👍

The hotel is located in a quieter area of Taman Mount Austin, but it is still within walkable distance to places like Nanyang Street and other locations. The hotel is newly renovated, and their basic amenities are sufficient. For the price of S$40/night in 2025, this hotel is considered to be at the lower range, but it offers a very good standard of cleanliness, careful details, and the general comfort is assured! Attached are some pictures of my single room with a king-size bed with windows! God bless and have a blessed stay!

Best and affordable hotel i have been along mount austin. Thanks for the stay! Room was ok to stay, aircond is cold and the service is amazing. will definitely stay again in the future

I stayed here during a business trip with my colleague. The location was good

It was okay for the price

construction behind the hotel so don't really have good rest during my stay

It's an ok hotel if you wanna stay one night near Taman Mount Austin but away from the crowds. Easy to find parking here and there's food around this area too

Eight Days is located within walking distance to the food area of Mt Austin. There is a grocer downstairs and McDonalds which closes at 3am is less than 5 mins walk away. Around 10 mins walk will be the eateries such as The Toast. There are also eateries across the road and a Ramen street stall and durian stall right below. I would say it is really convenient to get around but not right in the busy area of Mt Austin so noise and jams are less of a problem. The room we stay in was way better than expected for a hotel of this price. It is relatively clean. The air con and wifi works without issue. Only small quip is that the TV does not allow connection of your own HDMI to plug your own media. I can't figure out any airplay features so we can't stream any movies. Would definitely strongly consider staying again for a weekend getaway.
