Fives Hotel Meldrum

Fives Hotel Meldrum

City Center of Johor Bahru Johor Bahru|0.29km from R&F Princess Cove 富力公主湾
Fives Hotel Meldrum is a newly opened property in October 2023. It is 850m by walk from Johor Bahru Customs. To get to the hotel, you would need to use the link bridge near the customs that leads to R&F Mall. Just before reaching the mall, head down from the bridge and walk towards the direction of Grand Blue Wave Hotel (GBW). The property is located beside the back of GBW. A 24hrs security personnel is stationed at the main entrance of the hotel. Upon my arrival, the Front Desk Staff had requested a RM200 deposit for my check in registration. The rooms are situated from the first to ten floors. There is no fourth level in this building. I was accommodated in a Standard Queen Room (No. 311). Although the room offers a window, it faces the wall of a building. There is an ongoing construction site located beside the hotel, which I perceived to last for another year or more. Unfortunately, the construction noise is audible which only ended at 10pm during my weekday stay. I later approached the Night Manager and paid a RM40 upgrade to stay in a Standard King Room with no window (No. 308). There is no noise as this room is located in the middle section of the building. Local, Singapore TV and Malaysian radio station channels are available for entertainment in the room. The SMART TV also offers Netflix and YouTube. There are two USB charging ports and three power sockets for your mobile device charging needs. The air-conditioner functions well and keeps the room cool. Shower gel, shampoo with conditioner, toothbrush and paste are provided. The shower head is fixed to the bathroom wall. I found the water pressure to be acceptable, but the temperature is lukewarm. A-lar carte breakfast is offered at RM25 per person, though I did not consume my breakfast at the property. Nearby the hotel, there are several coffeeshops located behind a public carpark that serve breakfast. Among them is Restoran Ah Bee Bak Kut Teh (Pork Ribs Soup) which is a popular eatery among the locals. There are also convenience stores and halal eateries located within walking distance from the hotel. Connoisseur Food Generation, a trendy food court is situated a 5-min walk from the hotel. This place has many food stalls that offer a wide variety of cuisine. There is also live band during my dining there. Whilst the location may not be perfect, Fives Hotel Meldrum is great for those who are seeking something new and an affordable stay in Johor Bahru.

This is the most disgusting hotel I've stayed! Such a waste since the location is perfect. Minutes away from shopping malls, custom and immigration and the night market. Have a stunning view of the causeway and Singapore especially in the evening. Back to the hotel. We arrived late after a long day. Staying just for a night. When we reached the lobby, we were greeted by the receptionist with a smile but at the same time I noticed something is not right. The lobby were unorganised, looks old and smelly. But we'll, I have a very low expectations on this hotel with the room rate that I paid. Never mind, I just want a good rest. Check in process is pretty fast, about less than 5 minutes since everything is prepaid. This time again I felt something is not quite ordinary when the receptionist hand me the air-con remote control. Went to the lift which is next to the reception counter. The area is just like an old shopping mall lift, nothing like hotels lift landing. However the came pretty fast. Once enter the lift, I was so so suprise to see how dirty it was. The real nightmare began when we reach our floor which is on the 14th floor. The carpet along the corridor is supposed to be red in color but it's turn black because of too dirty and no maintainance. It's really disgusting these kind of conditions in the hotel vicinity! It's super super dirty and I don't even know the appropriate words to describe. Walk all the way to my room and I saw 1 major safety issue that the management failed to see. The window and the end on the corridor is widely open! Just imagine if children playing and climb on the window, the resulting be catastrophic! This is truly a super massive issue!!! Enter the room, the size is big with 1 king size and 1 single bed BUT, the condition is even worse than those super cheap B&B!!! Just take a look at the photo attached. It is super disgusting!!!! 1. The trash bin the washroom filled with water and rubbish!!! The floor is dirty with stain everywhere!!! 2. The stain in the bedroom is out of this world, I can't even describe how dirty it is. Let the photo speak for itself. I don't even dare to take off my shoe. 3. The sofa is suitable to be thrown away. 4. The mattress is as hard as brick!! Same goes to the pillow. I don't 100% blame the staff for this condition but rather the management fault. They failed to manage the property properly. I am very sure if Malaysia Hotel association, building safety inspector and ministry of health making a suprise inspection, this building will fail in all areas. My suggestion is, if the management felt that they unable to maintain this hotel, I think it is better to rent/lease or even sell the property to any proper hotel chain.

The stay at R&F was generally good but there were some down sides: - the R&F mall is practically empty - this particular apartment was a bit run down and a bit dirty. - one of the benches has a tear in it - electric switches for the fans in home can be a bit confusing to use. - one of dining chairs feels flimsy and about to break. - dining options are not that cheap or worth the money Good sides: - air con was decent - has cooking stove and electric equipment - washing machine - decent balcony and comfy furniture - Jaya grocer is near
Hotel CIQ @ Wong Ah Fook
4/552 Reviews
City Center of Johor Bahru
Stayed in superior queen room for two nights. Big receptionist at checkin was unfriendly and charged me RM10 more than stated from booking which is pennies but more for the principle. Room was relatively clean. Safe provided did not work. Kettle available in room. The Wi-Fi was spotty. The door separating neighbor provides no sound proof also can hear what goes on in hallway. A/C works well, no place to hang clothes, few channels tv, stained bed sheets, rainfall shower head only trickles, water temperature was difficult to calibrate, either scalding hot or cold.

City Center of Johor Bahru
Stayed one night there, room was very stuffy and poor lighting. Pillows smell weird. Requested for a queen bed during booking which they have options to choose from, but ended up giving 2 single beds. Shampoo was not provided, only provided one tub of body shower expected to use on hair as well. Otherwise it's near to JBCC, good to catch the early trains to Sg.

First X booking this apar**ent and was pretty satisfied. Everything was fantastic Eg. Detailed info provided by the property management company, well maintained and clean place which makes you feel like a home stay and even provide cooking facilities if you plan to cook, sufficient toiletries, high floor 34th level with nice view and many more . Thumbs up! Just 2 little things to feedback: 1. Toilet floor was kinda slippery. Will be good if can provide floor mat inside toilet as well. Only has one floor mat outside bathroom . The toilet with the bathtub was good. 2. Car gantry issue with the key card access 😂 but not a big problem thou . Host replied fast and managed to settle. Thank you and definitely looking forward to book with SC Homestay soon.

Location is really near to JB sentral which is the checkpoint However the check in process is pain in the ass. NEED To Have confirmation email or WhatsApp message from a 3rd party agent, then use the confirmation message, go to an indian Muslim coffeshop called Empire Bistro show the confirmation message to the cashier to collect access card. So the cashier of the coffee shop handles the check in and issuing of the access card.
