Hotel Dengan bar di Melaka State, Malaysia

This was my first time staying at Babahouse, and I really loved the concept and traditional style of the hotel. From the moment we arrived at the lobby, we were warmly greeted and welcomed with a complimentary drink coin for the entire stay — 1 coin per person, per room. Since we had 2 rooms for 2 days, we received 4 coins in total. A nice little touch that made us feel welcomed. When we entered our rooms, they were generally clean, tidy and comfortable. However, in one of the rooms, we noticed some mould on the towel and also on the bed. We understand that this can happen if a room has been unoccupied for some time, especially with the humid weather. We also noticed that only some of the room windows have coverings, which may contribute to the room condition. Hopefully, the management can pay extra attention to this. The weather outside was extremely hot, with no rain for the whole week, so the first thing we did was turn the air-conditioning on full blast! We also tried the gym and really enjoyed it. Although the gym is small, the space is sufficient for a simple workout. They also provide towels and drinking water, which is very convenient. Around the hotel, there is Rumah Kechik Café and also a hidden bar on the side, which adds to the overall charm and experience. During our stay, we didn't drive around much. We mainly went out to Jonker Street and simply walked from the hotel. It was easy and convenient, and it also saved us time from dealing with traffic and finding parking. Overall, I really enjoyed my first stay at Babahouse. I love the traditional concept, atmosphere and location. With a little more attention to room maintenance and cleanliness, I believe the experience could be even better. Definitely a place I would consider staying again when visiting Melaka.

Wonderful pool: Beautiful pool area that both adults and kids will love. Friendly staff: Excellent, warm, and smiling service from everyone. Cons: Breakfast: Features a multi-cultural spread (Malay, Chinese, Indian, Japanese), but the actual options are quite limited. Maintenance issues: Some furniture (bathroom door and drawers) felt unstable and worn out. Drainage: The bathroom drain was clogged, causing water to pool while showering. Pest & AC: Noticed small ants near the minibar, and the air conditioning took too long to cool the room.

Positives: Huge tv Heated toilet bowl Balcony with sea view Very comfortable bed Complimentary mini bar Kids club + playground Huge amusement park walking distance from hotel Infinity pool Negatives: Birthday decoration plus small cake cost RM150 Bathtub next to shower makes it hard for one person to soak and another to shower at the same time Besides the amusement park, nothing much in the vicinity of the hotel

I've stayed at The Majestic in both Malacca and Kuala Lumpur. The one in Malacca isn't huge, but the common areas and rooms are very nice. My window overlooked the Malacca River. The gym, though small, had a good range of equipment, and the swimming pool was on the smaller side. The breakfast restaurant had a pleasant atmosphere, and breakfast was à la carte with unlimited orders. However, I felt it was one of the more average breakfasts I had during this trip; perhaps it just didn't suit my taste. The service was good too. It's definitely worth experiencing if you're visiting Malacca.

Really enjoyed my stay at Hatten Hotel Melaka! From the moment I walked through the front door, everyone was so attentive and welcoming. The bellman, front desk staff, housekeeping crew, literally everyone I interacted with was super nice, helpful and professional. The breakfast was also really good. so many choices and everything I tried was delicious! The room was spacious and super comfortable too. Honestly, very selesa throughout my stay. I couldn’t ask for more. Excellent service from start to finish and the staff really made the whole experience even better. KUDOS to the whole team ＜3

Very comfortable hotel with a pool, suitable for kids. Great location near the River Cruise jetty, and walking distance to Dataran Pahlawan along the riverside path. Beautiful views... worth it. Shops, especially Speedmart99 and Mamak Sri Sahabat, have really delicious and affordable food. The staff, from top to bottom, are all kind, friendly, and welcoming. You should definitely stay at this hotel... it's worth it. I stayed 1 night, then extended to 3 nights! 😆😆

Dusit Princess is a newly renovated 5-star hotel. The lobby is grand and opulent, and the doormen are very friendly and professional. The Indian-descent lady at check-in was a bit perfunctory; a warmer welcome would have been nice. There are plenty of food options nearby, and a 7-Eleven, but no large shopping malls. It's not far from Jonker Street, but on a hot day, it's still a 10+ minute walk. The room was clean, the bedding was very comfortable, hot water was plentiful, and the water pressure was high (almost too high; don't turn the faucet on full blast, or water will splash). The air conditioning, in particular, was efficient, comfortable, and adjustable, making it one of the most comfortable air-conditioned rooms we've stayed in (though a basic fan noise is unavoidable). The hotel's Wi-Fi was excellent throughout, and the elevators were efficient. The gym was well-equipped (though a bit cramped), and the rooftop pool on the 9th floor offered good views and clean water, with both deep and children's sections. However, if you're looking to do some serious swimming, the pool might feel a bit small. Breakfast was quite extensive and international. We ate there for three consecutive days and found enough variety. While the taste wasn't particularly amazing, it was good enough, though some dishes were only lukewarm, which affected the texture. I personally enjoyed the fully deshelled spicy Lala and the green curry beef. The Laksa with 'rat's tail' noodles was also very good. Overall, the hotel is very comfortable and offers great value for money. Having listed the positives, here are some small suggestions for further improvement: 1) The edges of the connecting room doors (door frames) should be sealed with weatherstripping or silicone to improve sound insulation. On our first night, we could hear guests next door talking, but the window soundproofing was excellent and not an issue. 2) A blind or shade should be installed on the small window between the bathroom and bedroom to block light from the bathroom when needed, especially when family members sharing the room are sensitive to light and easily disturbed. 3) The breakfast was delicious, but some dishes were not hot enough. 4) Could the front desk provide local tourism information or brochures?

I really loved the hotel's Portuguese architectural style and the simple yet distinctive design of the rooms. Behind the hotel is the Strait of Malacca. Perhaps it was the wrong season, as the water was murky, but after high tide, facing the strait and listening to the wind and waves, you could feel the weight of history and the special geographical location. Surprisingly, there were cannons (presumably placed by the hotel itself) behind the hotel and in front of the lobby. The only minor drawback was the very limited breakfast selection. Overall, the value for money was pretty good.

Close to SOGO 😁😁 Right downstairs from the hotel, you'll see shops all around 👍🏻👍🏻 You can go shopping just by walking 😄😄

The rooms are set up to a standard, which is really good. There's also staff at the front desk who speak Chinese, and the hotel's laundry service is very efficient. In terms of location, it's just a few minutes' walk to the Dutch Square (Red Square) and Jonker Street, which is super convenient. The surrounding amenities are also great, and it's relatively quiet at night, making it a good choice for those with light sleep.
