We stayed for 1 night in August 2011. After a bad experience at a hotel round the corner, the Meldrum was a welcome change. The room was sparkling clean. The floor tiles shined. It was a great location - right in the centre of town and close to all the hawker food. The staff were friendly and helpful. This is... More

Nothing grand but definitely cleaner as compared to nearby hotels. 24 hrs of foods nearby and City Square for shopping. One of the best hotels near Malaysia customs. No frills. More

We reserved a standard room but only realized the room full with smoking smell when I stepped into the room. The receptionist never check with me... More

Stayed at the superior room in Meldrum Hotel (RM92) at first. There is free wi-fi on the 3rd and 4th floor superior room. However we found the room a bit small and changed to the deluxe room at RM132 which has a queen sized bed and a single bed. It is very conveniently located near to city square mall and... More

The Meldrum is one of the first hotels you come to as you pass through customs on the Malaysian side of the causeway and probably gets a lot of it's business because of it. Fairly well kept and surprisingly large hotel which was good value. We later found the newly renovated Haia Satu a few doors down which is a... More
