            Staff are friendly and hard working. They also try their best to accede to your requests. Place is reasonably clean. Venue is conveniently located next to City Square Shopping Mall. Value for money. Not much facilities as it is a budget hotel.

            You are near the stress and the stress get very noisy at night. Loud bike driving pass, people in the stress eating and shouting and late at night when the stall are cleaning up the dragging of plastic chair might keep you up all night.

            Was given a smoking room though have requested for a non smoking room. The smell was so unbearable. Requested to change room and was taken to a non smoking room. The amenities tray handle was broken and dusty. The glasses were not wash and the water kettle cover was covered with black stains. The toilet seat was stained and shower room not clean properly with stains on the wall. The room key not functional as I can't open the door and have to asked the reception for help. Overall, very bad experience and I don't recommend anyone to stay at this hotel.

            Budget Hotel at City Center”

            The location is exactly at the city center, walking distance to the JB Central bus station, the street quit busy since along the way there is a street hawker steel food for dinner/supper so if you feel hungry at midnight iit's not a big issue. The street environment have to be more alert, Meldrum walk(food hawker), Night Bazaar, Johor bahru City Center Mall, Komtar Mall, Galleria Mall is walking distance. The staff is very friendly (Watie if not mistaken) the hotel currently upgrading so sometimes a noise. the rest is ok for me.

            Good location, clean room and nice staff

            Geat value for money. i booked the room with shared toilet and i had the good surprise to find a shower and a washbasin in my room (actually ony the toilet was shared and it came as a good news). The hotel is ideally located at 5 min walk from jb sentral and from the city tower (& the huge shopping mall)....i have to admit i had mixed feelings about the location at first sight (some drunk people, some prostitutes and some cops in the small meldrum street) But after 6 nights at meldrum hotel, i realized that everybody is living in absolute peace here and the atmosphere is just great ! i felt like i was in one of the streets of the movie "blade runner" ! Many restaurants and food stalls in the tiny streets around, many shops, 7eleven, laundry etc, many great people from many different origins. ....Quiet place and The staff is very helpful. i recommend.

            Solo traveler looking for a night in JB to avoid the Causeway queue”

            My favourite JB hotel, without any hestitation. Whenever i need a cheap and convenient hotel while waiting for the Causeway car queue to lessen, it is always Meldrum. I covered extensively before in the previous reviews, it is conveniently located near the Immigration and major shopping centre (City Sq). Hawker and street food is everywhere when you stepped out from the hotel. Famous food include: The Kam Long Curry Fish Head (walking distance), Ya Wang duck rice (don't order the duck rice for 1 person. Try their herb marinated duck, which is at least half a duck). Weighing the cons, the room rate is still one of the cheapest in JB. No question. Room is spacious but dont expect a hotel feel. It's more of a low to mid end Airb&b room rental. But if you want a real hotel, visit KSL or Holiday Villa. They are more appropriate for family trip where comfort is high on your list. Meldrum is good for a short stay (1 or 2 days) and when you are alone and not picky with facilities.
