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.

Checked into a room without WC. Requested for a change and pay the difference was declined. I was told to pay for the full amount for another room with WC. Mosquitoes were found in the room.
