The prices charged by the J Hotel are reasonable. There are different charges for deluxe rooms and suites. In fact the prices are worth the facilities and services they offer.
Charles: Your question reminded me of a local ophanage that is so well-run that it had achieved an ISO industry standard and the founder went on to become the national top-ten young outstanding Malaysian just a few years ago – the founder was previously in the private sector and he brought his industry knowledge into the ophanage he founded. So the moral of the story is that every experience and life lessons one gained along the way does matter after all. Time and chance is important in life sometimes and that’s really my story. And I found out one truth along the way, which is that once you have taken the plunge, suddenly you realised you can swim. Otherwise, take a float before you leaped!
Charles: We are colourful, modern and chic, that’s the first impression that people get when they step into the hotel.
Bearing in mind that we are a budget hotel, we like to say we give value for your money, and that’s not just a cliche. Guests are getting Slumberland beddings, Vingcard door locks, Otis lift, Daikin VRV III air conditioning system — good trusted brands that we have invested, that hopefully will translate into values for guests.
The business model is one of owner-manager model – not a laid-back outsourced management team — something like you eat at a restaurant whereby the chef is also the owner and you know you are eating good/fresh food and not just some microwaved stuff from cold frozen “central kitchen”. The result of that is we take our responsibilities seriously, we take feedback/complaints seriously and we try to tackle whatever problems as best as we can.
Charles: I do not have a figure for that — but it suffice to say that we are very happy to see guests returning, and at the very least, we know who is repeated rather than not having a clue at all.
At the moment we have a list of regular customers base of about 100+. Some of our guests have stayed with us no less than 100 room nights! That’s the kind of loyalty we like to see!
Charles: We are a small 48-room hotel. There is no “program” per se. Nonetheless, every year during the Christmas season, we love to buy gifts and reward our regular guests — it is just a gesture to say “we appreciate you”.
Charles: We do not want to claim that we are “successful” because we know we are far from it. We are learning from the good hotels that we’ve been to or the experienced people in the service industries.
At the moment, we are very happy with J, it’s about staying contented. Furthermore, we like to see J hotel as something organic, not stagnant. We like our regular guests to have a little surprise/improvements every so often they come, otherwise the hotel will become very boring after a while. As such, there are always things to be upgraded/improvements in the rooms or hotel environment — and people can tell that profits have not just been gleaned away, but rather re-invested to make their stay better than before.
