Hotel Dengan Bar di Melaka, Malaysia

A quiet hotel, away from town. Restful. I enjoyed the showervery much and had a good bath. But.. The toilet bad odour (especially from toilet bowl) is true as per reviews posted by many customers. I hope hotel can do something to get rid of the bad odour from the sewage. The air-conditioning sound is very loud is true as per reviews by many customers. Light sleepers may be affected.

Stay here with my friend because she got into an accident and she doesn't have a place to stay especially with her injuries. I paid like RM134 per night and I stayed there for 2 nights in a row. It's definitely a very comfortable stay, complete amenities, respectful front desk tho a bit too slow like they took more than 10 minutes just to process online booking. The price reflected the place. Very close to MITC Mydin and there's also Watson nearby along with other shops like Secret Recipe, Bakers Cottage, Ayam Gepuk, Zus Coffee. Amenities are amazing, complete toiletries (soap, bath gel, shampoo, conditioner, shower cap, bath towels, small towels, toilet paper etc I can't even remember what else) They also prepared plastic bag. The room is very big, lots of space for prayers. Got a vanity table along with huge mirrors. There was 2 mineral bottles with a kettle, cups, spoons, an instant noodle cup, instant coffee and milk tea. The air conditioning and tv works as well even tho the tv only shows some basic channels. They also got room service for meals but as expected with quite an expensive price. Also got a huge window with city view.

Hotel is conveniently located, walking distance, around 15 mins to Jonker Street. 500m from Restoran Tong Sheng.  All concierge staff are very friendly. More so than front desk.  The female toilet at lobby smells and there is no grills covering the gap on the floor in the female toilet cubicle. One of my feet landed in the gap.  I requested for quiet rooms but were given rooms on level 12, not only same level as Premier lounge but opp the activity rooms which were very noisy. The entrance door from lounge to the rooms were sometimes left open instead of closed (key tap access).  On one of the mornings Sun, the breakfast queue was extremely long. First time encountering this in my travels. Managed to get in for breakfast on 2nd day ..some of the cutleries were not clean.

Overall stay was okay. Room felt a bit compact but still comfortable. Nice queen bed with very comfortable pillows. Toilet and shower work well. As for breakfast, choices are limited but still good enough to have a wonderful experience to start my day. The only issue was the parking is located at Hatten Hotel as Estadia does not have spaces for parking. Felt a bit troublesome there. Parked at public parking near the shop rows and took own risk.

Always be my first choice when I visit to Malacca, very helpful staff and good location, multi level car park is provided, room is clean and air conditioner is working well, many food stall are around the walking distance. will come back again if I visit Malacca again, thank you for the good hospitality.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The staff were friendly, welcoming, and always ready to help with anything I needed. My room was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, with everything working perfectly. The location was convenient, making it easy to explore nearby attractions and restaurants. I especially enjoyed the breakfast, which offered a good variety of fresh and tasty options each morning. The overall atmosphere of the hotel was peaceful, and I felt relaxed throughout my stay. I would happily return and highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a pleasant and comfortable experience.

Arrived evening amd check inn was smooth. The room was great and cleanliness acceptable. Just parking had to find ourself. All was good and will return back in future.

The parking lot is behind the hotel. It would be great if they offered valet parking. Luckily, there's a side door from the hotel that leads directly to the parking lot. The room facilities are quite new and have a strong local flavor. It overlooks the Melaka River cruise, and the view isn't as good as the Dusit Thani Princess next door, which faces the sea. The TV, however, is a bit old-fashioned. Both the pool and gym are very small, barely better than nothing, but the gym environment is quite good. Breakfast is served until 10:30 AM. We went at 10 AM, and the breakfast staff were incredibly impatient. I also mentioned this in my subsequent hotel review: if they don't want to serve breakfast guests at 10 AM, they should just say so, rather than making guests face their bad attitudes. Breakfast is à la carte with unlimited ordering. We, as a couple, ordered four dishes plus one dessert. The presentation was terrible; the plates were oily when they were brought out. We were very disappointed with the breakfast. The front desk service was decent, but it took a while to process the parking ticket when we were leaving. Perhaps the staff weren't very familiar with the operation, or the system was slow. It's worth staying for one day to experience the Melaka charm, but don't expect much from the hotel's facilities and services.

I stayed at Birkin International Hotel in Melaka from Tuesday to Thursday. As the hotel is still new, I understand that some facilities and security features may not yet be fully operational—for example, access control requiring a room card to enter guest floors. I also understand that, as a newly opened hotel, some rooms may not have undergone complete inspections. Upon check-in, the first room assigned to us had several defects: the toilet basin was choked, and the basin handle in the small kitchen area had come off. We contacted the front desk for assistance regarding the choked basin, and they offered us a room change. A staff member whom I believe was the hotel manager came up personally, escorted us to another room, and informed us that we had been upgraded. We truly appreciated this gesture and the prompt service provided. We checked in around 3:00 p.m. and were feeling hungry, so we decided to try the hotel food. We ordered two slices of cake, fish and chips, and pizza. The food was nice and delicious, and we genuinely enjoyed it. However, I would like to highlight a concern regarding the breakfast experience. As this is a five-star hotel, I expected a high standard of hygiene with zero tolerance for flies in the dining area. Unfortunately, I noticed several flies during breakfast. On one occasion, during the nasi lemak service, I saw a fly land on a bowl of eggs. I pointed this out to the staff, but they only removed the piece of egg that the fly had landed on. This was quite alarming, and as a result, I did not dare to try the nasi lemak at all. Later, I noticed one of the staff attempting to smash a fly while wearing gloves. This made me wonder whether the gloves would be changed afterward if the fly was successfully killed. This raised further concerns about food hygiene. Because of this, I became worried and chose to eat only items that were freshly cooked on the spot, such as curry noodles. Overall, I felt disappointed with the breakfast hygiene standards and sincerely hope the hotel will take this matter more seriously. I believe Birkin International Hotel has great potential, and with improved attention to cleanliness and food safety, it can offer a much better experience for guests. Thank you for taking the time to review this feedback.

The room was quite spacious with a great view; remember to ask the front desk for a high-floor room. We checked out from the Grand Hyatt next door at 12 PM and they allowed us to check in early here. It happened to be Christmas season, so there was always someone singing or music playing in the lobby, and free drinks and snacks in the afternoon. The executive lounge is open until 11 PM, with cocktails available in the evening. Watching the sunset from a window seat was truly beautiful. There were some hot dishes, which were quite good, and the service was excellent. The pool and gym were both very clean. There were always three staff members at the pool, while the gym was self-service. The only minor issue is that the in-room facilities seemed a bit dated, and there weren't many TV channels. However, the public areas and service were impeccable – definitely worth the price, even a bit of a steal!
