    There were damp marks on the wall but did not effect our stay.

    The receptionist was fantastic told us the best place to get a SIM, to exchange money and gave us loads of recommendations for things to do. I do recommend the escape rooms they are very fun. Room was comfy and Aircon was great

    The room is rather small, although that was expected.

    Great location, very easy and approachable hosts. The place is listed as hostel, although they do have separate rooms which are very decent. Additionally the shared areas are big and well equipped. Very nice design of the place and very friendly vibe. Generally great value for money.

    I like it very much! The staff is super nice. I was resting inside the room but next door was playing and making noise. I heard the staff came and ask them to lower down the volume because other customer is resting. I am very appreciative of this. I have am not sure if I got enough cash for breakfast next day, so can’t decide to buy a drink from vendor machine or not. The staff noted my concern then just buy me a Fanta. He said it’s more important I can enjoy Melaka. I was so touched by him😭 It’s a very nice place! Close to jonker street. Outside got bars but not so noisy. Just located beside Melaka river, can enjoy the view in the hostel. Definitely will stay again if I travel again in Melaka:)

    Would be great with some more amenities for morning snacks coffee, tea and milk. Our room didn't have settings for AC, which would be nice to have low setting on for the night, but on was too strong.

    Cleanliness was great, no complaints!

    Our complain is about the room we booked - Standard Queen Room. It has extended door which does not have any lock in our room. I would feel secure if they have added lock in our side. The exhaust fan in the bathroom is dirty which should be cleaned twice a month ideally for good airflow. No slippers available inside the room and bathroom. There are stains in the wall which looks dirty in general.

    This place is located within the center of tourist attractions where most of it will be 5 to 10 mins walk. It is quite and far from crowdy and noisy areas providing good resting place. Staff are friendly and able to communicate thru English and Malay Language Effectively. Public areas are clean and comfortable. Dining area provides oven, water heater, microwave and refrigerator. Near to restaurants and bars.

    The aircon was very old and doesn't seem to have been serviced for a while. This means that it is very loud and we had to have it on full power on the lowest temperature (16 degrees, which wasn't the actual temperature) to get a comfortable temperature to sleep in.

    Excellent location next to the river near lots of restaurants and places to eat and drink. Nice, well-decorated room with a large bed. Friendly staff. The terrace next to the river is a great place to sit on in the evening.

    My bed sheets were dirty. Toilet looks a bit dated as well. Overall its kind of overpriced...

    Overall place is very clean. Location is conveniently close to main night market, but also very quiet at night. Easily walkable to most location.

    Nothing to unlike about the property.

    The staff were friendly and accommodating. I stayed at the dormitory room. It was clean and cozy. The common areas are aesthetically pleasing. Location is beside the river. About 5min walk to dutch square. Near all the restaurants and bars.

    There are some.

    The guesthouse is close to the river and bridge, and a couple of night pubs. It's interesting that at the entrance of the lane, there is a diner which provides breakfast in the morning and turns to be a pub in the evening. The staff is helpful. However, they might not be in the guesthouse for the whole day in the low season, so you might need to wait for them to show up to help you check in. The furnishings are nice with many mirrors which girls may like. The living room on the second floor is good to have a rest if it's not too hot. Ahhh, you have to take off your shoes when you enter the house, which might be a custom in Southeast Asia, but not enjoyable for me. Malacca is good to let yourself escape from those annoying things in life. However, when it rains heavily, you'll be bothered from sleep.

    1. The staff is not at front desk all the time. Would be better to inform guests beforehand how to proceed check in or how to contact staff to assist. 2. Some beds don't have curtain

    The location is good and the facility is clean. They provide bath towel.

    Staff wasn’t around. AC not working in shared living room. This room has big windows to the river and if AC worked it would be perfect.

    Perfect location. River front with a porch where you can stay. Walking distance of all Malaca central places. The street where it is located has nice bars and restaurants. The WiFi worked very well.

    Generally not clean, even if shoes are not allowed inside, the floor is dusty everywhere. The place need maintenance, there are little things here and there that need to get fix and clean profoundly. Showers without curtains, water everywhere in the bathroom. Common bathroom in the second floor is very dirty!! In the room I stayed there is a big problem with humidity in the wall and two beds are right there, it is not good for health to breath that humidity.

    Location is excellent! Common areas are nice to hang around. Beds are decent and clean. I like the carpets in the floor, it makes it cosy.
