Decent hotel for a short transit

Arrived at 4am. Checked in took a long while. They gave me the room on the ground floor. Looks like no one stayed in there for a long time because the bedsheets were dusty and when I took the blanket out, there were flies. Bed was alright though. Only managed to sleep for 2hours in total because it got very noisy at 6am. I could hear every single sound like opening of doors, drawers etc. Maybe try to avoid the ground floor next time.

絕對不會再去 馬六甲最差體驗

房間很骯髒，床冚枕袋都有明顯污漬，更有原子筆造成的簽名 沒有窗，即使在hotels.com上注明是有城市景的帶窗房 房內有曱甴，壁虎，以及大量不知名昆蟲，情況恐怖 廁所盤及廁板滿佈污漬，未見清洗 熱水水力不足 wifi網絡十分差，不能上fb及看任何影片 房間空氣不流通，有異味 房間燈損壞沒有修理 (見附圖) 唯一好處是距離巴士站近，可以遲點起床搭車回吉隆坡

Location is everything

If you are coming by bus from K.L. - no need to take a taxi. The hotel is less than 5 minutes walk from the bus station. Yet, it is nicely situated near the river and has a pleasant hotel on the rooftop.

The cleanliness is awful.....”I can't stand is the cleanliness of the room when my first step in to the room "unpleasant smell". Toilet basin is dirty. I was surprised to see a lot of ants at there. I ask hotel staff to clean and tidy up my room.

Amazing service

Really nice lady boss let us change the date of our booking and honoured the original price although weekend is higher price. I booked this place as I was meeting a friend in melaka, and we were both taking night buses. We both missed our night bus to Melaka and so arrived at 9am the next day, bleary eyed and unwashed. Wanted to check-in just to freshen up before heading to Melaka town. Amazingly, lady boss let us check in immediately and changed our date of booking at the same price. Unfortunately we had another booking for that night in melaka town, but it was so great to get a couple hours snooze before heading over. Thank you!

Somewhat an OK hotel

The location wasn't that bad since it is near Melaka Sentral and near the Town area so it is good to avoid the weekend and PH jams all the way to the city. Unfortunately, one thing really annoying about the place was the elevator made so much noise that I thought someone kept knocking on my door in the middle of the night and because of that I didn't sleep well since my room was near the elevator. Perhaps this problem has to be rectified as soon as possible.

Simple, clean and spacious.

Suitable for short stay and night rest. Clean and spacious room for 2 adults. Spacious toilet area equipped with water heater and hair dryer. Mineral water, coffee and electric kettle provided. However there's no minibar. LED tv available but only local free channels. Free WIFI given with Strong signal detected but difficulty in connecting so end up using DIGI 4G instead. Lots of local food nearby and Mydin supermarket just next door. Just remember to throw away all leftovers immediately or the ants will just congregate within minutes. My wife left an open packet of chips overnight at the bedside table and was shocked to see so many ants on the table the next morning. Just keep it clean and you won't get creepy crawlies around. Overall 3.5/5

Pleasantly surprised and happy :)

Very pleasantly surprised. If u r driving it is 15 mins from city-centre and attractions, if not, is just opposite the main bus station. Hotel is only 2 years old and very, very clean. Smells sweet too. Beds were firm- which i was very happy since i have back problem. Staff are polite. The restaurant on 3rd floor offers good food, cheap and nice riverfront view. I really was pleasantly surprised- would recommend to others.
