staff is helpful to assist in room-changing as the initial room situated at the corner of the building next to the bar. a bit run-down but overall still acceptable based on the rate and location we paid.

Excellent location with several eating places nearby. Staff was pleasant and helpful. The hotel is getting old but everything still worked howbeit noisily (toilet). Excellent enclosed shower with hot water was much appreciated. Comfy bed and cleanliness were also present. We stayed 4 nights in this good value for money place.

Book Non Smoking Room end up need to top up

We paid higher price to book a Non Smoking room for 2 nights stay from Hotel.com. when we arrived the hotel , staff told us Non smoking all not available , only left Smoking Room, and if we want to have None Smoking Room, we need to add another RM 9.00. so no choice we have to do so and paid for 1 day stay for the next day with Non Smoking Room when is available.

1 day stay at Meldrum Hotel

The uncle who checked us in wasn't very friendly and the flooring of the room felt very sticky.
The air conditioning did not seems to be working very well, felt stuffy for the whole night and the pillows are super flat.

Seems the room is above the coffee shop, can vividly hear people talking.

Disappointed with the check in. We booked two superior rooms (twin beds) but were given only one room upon arrival. Took a long while for the receptionist to check & we were given another room(double bed) upon coming back later. This room was mosquitoes infested!

Budget hotel with good location

The hotel have a nice location as it nearby shopping mall and a lot of restaurants around. The staff at the hotel was rude when he informed us that the room is not ready yet even though it was after check in time (2:00 pm). He could have inform us in a professional way. Besides that, the room was alright even though a bit run down and have smoke smell when the room is on non smoking floor. The toilet was alright but quite dirty though and the hot water not hot enough. Overall, the hotel is alright if you want to save money on your stay.

For Cheap Get Away With A \"Shared Toilet\"

All in all, you need to read the fine print well in order not to book the wrong one because I got a \"shared toilet\" experience and I have to pay more to have my own private toilet....

Clean and convenient in the centre of JB

We only stayed here for one night and had a pleasant stay. Bed was very comfortable, room was clean and quiet despite the hotel being on a busy street, and WiFi was good. It was very easy to get to and from the airport as the hotel is centrally located. Quick check-in too. The only problem was that the shared bathrooms were full of mosquitos. Otherwise, it's a good place to stay.

Simple hotel, great location

Booked superior and deluxe rooms (queen n single beds). Superior room really small. Bath room very small too, tiles size 2.5 x 3 1/3. The complimentary shampoo and bath soap really tiny, shorter than the height of the tap. Both rooms no safe box, mini fridge, hair dryer and cupboard. The bed, so soft that we can feel that we sitting on the plank when we sat on the edge of the bed! 3rd and 4th floor supposed no smoking rooms but superior room at 3rd floor has the cigarette smell and deluxe room at 4th floor found ash tray. The plus point is that coffee shops that sell local food till late night. we enjoyed supper and breakfast with Many of their local ppl. So no worries about safety. Has 7-eleven and barber shops just next to the hotel. At night can see mobile foot reflex. Convenient.

GET THE FIRST TASTE OF ASIA

If you want to learn what contemporary Asia looks like, you will not chose Singapore for your fist lesson - it is too much like any developed Western country: visiting Singapore gives you as much 'feel' of Asia, as going to an Asian ... restaurant anywhere in Sydney, Berlin or New York. However, just cross the Woodlands Customs Checkpoint in Singapore and the real Asia greets or... hits you: crowd, noise, smells, colors. A short bus ride then a short walk ( if you are game enough) from the Johor Bahru CIQ ( I presume going by taxi would take significantly longer taking into account the traffic gridlocks all around) and the Meldrum Hotel offers you a welcome 'shelter' : Western interior amidst totally Eastern surrounds. From that somewhat 'familiar' base - nice clean room, air conditioning, bathroom with shower, TV, internet, English speaking staff, you can start 'exploring' Asia that starts literally right outside the hotel's door - the streets full of 'exotic' shops, food stalls and restaurants, temples, small businesses. Feeling a bit overwhelmed? You can dash into a nearby Western style shopping complex for a coffee and cake, and then back into the hustle and bustle of the Old Johor city. Allow a day or two, and you will grow in courage to venture further and further from the hotel, you will come tohave a cold beer from a street vendor, or taste a delicious meal at an Indian restaurant. That will be your first taste of real Asia. Enjoy!

convenient hotel near JB Singapore causeway

Overall Friendly staff, good air -con in room , wi - fi is okay,good location, good cleaners and
laundry service is efficient. The pricing of the rooms in the hotel is slightly on the high side as there are some competitors offering slightly cheaper prices nearby.
Johor Bahru is now the second largest city in Malaysia and expanding rapidly. It is the gateway to Malaysia from Singapore. It is a shopping and eating paradise.
This hotel is conveniently located near City Square Shopping Centre, the Immigration and Customs checkpoint, near banks, businesses.
