I stayed at Meldrum Hotel for a night hoping for a decent experience, but it fell short. The location was convenient with lots of food stalls nearby, but I faced issues with room cleanliness and noise. While the room had basic amenities, the unpleasant smell and outside disturbances made my stay uncomfortable. Overall, I wouldn't recommend it unless absolutely necessary. 😕

My stay at Meldrum Hotel was a mixed bag. While I appreciated the cleanliness and comfort of the room, my experience was overshadowed by the rude front desk staff and some issues during check-in. Unfortunately, I don't think I'll be returning due to these negative experiences.
