The Square Hotel sits on Jalan Pendekar 11 in Taman Ungku Tun Aminah, a residential and commercial township in Skudai on the north-western side of Johor Bahru. The property occupies two adjoining shoplot units, Nos. 30 and 32, and its Traveloka listing records it as a hotel built in 2016, which makes it one of the younger mid-range options in this part of the city. It is a compact, low-rise building of three floors holding 61 rooms, classified as a 3-star hotel.
That combination of size and setting shapes the stay. With 61 rooms spread over just three floors, The Square Hotel is small enough for the front desk to know who is in the building, yet large enough to take a family group or a small business team in one booking. Because it sits inside a neighbourhood rather than on a highway strip or inside a mall complex, guests step out into the everyday Skudai streetscape of shophouses, eateries and local services rather than a tourist precinct.
For travellers coming from Singapore, the appeal is practical: a straightforward, budget-conscious base on the Johor side for a weekend of shopping, family visits, or business in the industrial and commercial areas around the western half of Johor Bahru. The listing describes the hotel as aimed at guests who want to travel comfortably on a budget, and the services it records, from a front desk staffed around the clock to room service available 24 hours, support that brief.
The full postal address is No 30 & 32, Jalan Pendekar 11, Taman Ungku Tun Aminah, Skudai, 81300 Johor Bahru, Johor, Malaysia. On Traveloka, the hotel is filed under the Skudai area of Johor Bahru city, within the state of Johor.
The Square Hotel offers 61 rooms in total across its three floors. Traveloka's listing does not publish a fixed, named room-tier ladder for this property in its structured data, so the exact categories on sale (and their bed configurations and occupancy limits) are best checked on the live booking page for your dates. What the listing does confirm is useful for planning.
Family room is one of the general facilities recorded for The Square Hotel, which signals that the hotel can accommodate parents travelling with children in a single room type rather than forcing a split across two rooms. If you are booking for a family from Singapore for a weekend in Johor Bahru, filter the room list for family options and check the stated maximum guests per room before you confirm.
For couples, solo travellers and business guests, the remaining inventory consists of conventional hotel rooms. The in-room facilities recorded on the listing are a desk, a hairdryer, a shower and a TV, and the general facilities include air conditioning and a heater. Rooms typically include air conditioning and a private bathroom; see the listing for per-room amenities, as features can vary between room categories.
The electricity supply in rooms is 240 volts, in line with standard Malaysian and Singaporean voltage, so most travellers from Singapore can use their chargers and appliances with the usual three-pin plug.
The Square Hotel keeps its facilities focused on the essentials of a comfortable short stay. Everything below is taken from the property's facility list on Traveloka.
Free parking is a practical advantage for guests driving across from Singapore or renting a car in Johor Bahru, since a vehicle makes it much easier to move between Skudai and the city's malls, the coastal areas to the south-west and the city centre. The 24-hour front desk also matters for anyone arriving late after a slow crossing at the checkpoints.
The listing does not record a swimming pool, gym or spa at The Square Hotel, and it records no on-site restaurant, so plan accordingly if those are priorities. This is a hotel built around a clean room, reliable connectivity and attentive service rather than resort-style leisure facilities.
Nearby facilities noted on the listing include an ATM and banking services, a grocery, a supermarket, a beauty salon and a hair salon, which is handy for picking up snacks, toiletries or cash without driving far.
The Square Hotel is in Taman Ungku Tun Aminah within Skudai. Skudai lies on the north-western side of Johor Bahru, away from the city-centre waterfront, and is an established suburban district of housing estates and commercial rows. Traveloka places the hotel at approximately 1.515 N, 103.655 E, which you can paste into a map app for exact navigation.
Travellers from Singapore can enter Johor via either of the two land crossings: the Johor-Singapore Causeway into central Johor Bahru, or the Malaysia-Singapore Second Link at Tuas on the western side of Johor; which is quicker for Skudai depends on the day's traffic. Journey times vary widely with checkpoint queues, especially on Friday evenings, weekends and public holidays, so allow generous buffer time and check live traffic before you set off.
Johor Bahru is served by Senai International Airport. The hotel listing does not record an airport transfer service, so plan to use a ride-hailing app, taxi or rental car from the airport. If you are flying in from elsewhere in the region, you can search for flights to Johor Bahru on Traveloka and compare routes into Senai or into Singapore Changi before crossing by road.
The Square Hotel records no on-site restaurant, but it does list room service, available 24 hours, so a meal can be arranged to your room even late at night. Check with the front desk on arrival for the current room-service menu and hours of individual items, as offerings can change.
The bigger dining story is the neighbourhood itself. Taman Ungku Tun Aminah and the surrounding Skudai streets are lined with local eateries, coffee shops and casual restaurants typical of Johor Bahru's residential townships, and the listing notes a grocery and a supermarket nearby for self-catering supplies. Visitors from Singapore often come to Johor for exactly this kind of everyday local food, so a short walk or drive from the hotel is usually enough to find breakfast, lunch or a late supper.
If you want to fill a day between meals, browse things to do and attractions in Johor Bahru on Traveloka, from theme parks to city tours, and plan your outings around your dining stops.
The clearest reason to choose The Square Hotel is that it does the basics properly in a location many visitors overlook. Most first-time visitors from Singapore book in the city centre, but Skudai suits guests whose plans lie on the western side of Johor Bahru, who are visiting family in the area, or who simply prefer a quieter neighbourhood base with easy parking.
It is not a resort, and it does not pretend to be one. Families and groups who want a pool or on-site dining may prefer a larger property, and it is worth comparing other hotels across Johor Bahru on Traveloka if those facilities matter to you. For a clean, well-located base with dependable service, The Square Hotel is a sensible pick.
Once your room is booked, you can also arrange the rest of your trip, from flights to attractions, from the Traveloka homepage.
