Hotel 5-Star di Melaka State, Malaysia

Is a studio room and is big enough and have balcony too. Nearby have many restaurants, pub and convenience stores. There is also many facilities like gym, swimming pool and sauna. Close at 10pm I going to use the sauna but I saw a huge cockroach so the cleanliness is a bit… And sometimes during midnight you will still heard mat rempit sound

Overall, it was a good experience. The environment was clean and every staff member was very nice. There were also many breakfast options. Unfortunately, we happened to encounter several tour groups, so we were arranged to have breakfast in another hall. However, cartoons were played throughout, which kept the kids happy. That's a nice little detail… but of course, if I have a chance to go again, I'd like to try the main dining area.

The hotel is new, with great facilities and a convenient location. There is also ample parking space. Our room was very big and spacious, with two king-sized beds that were extremely comfortable. All the basic amenities were provided, and we even received a complimentary minibar. The only downside was that the toilet was quite dirty, and we had to ask the housekeeping staff to clean it. Aisha, the person in charge at the lobby, was very helpful, lovely, and friendly. She also welcomed us with a refreshing drink and a cold towel. The breakfast buffet was delicious, with a wide variety of choices, including Malaysian breakfast dishes, Western options, pastries, and fruits. Loved it!

Overall, I really liked this hotel with its strong Nanyang (Southeast Asian) charm. From the exterior to the room decor, everything felt great. It's within walking distance to attractions and close to the TBS bus station, just a fifteen-minute drive away. However, there were a few things I wasn't happy about: 1. I didn't realize beforehand that breakfast here is à la carte and only starts at 7:00 AM. It also takes a while for the food to be prepared. Since we had already booked our bus back to Kuala Lumpur for 9:00 AM, there was no time to eat. It was a shame, and we couldn't get a refund either. The staff kindly packed two boxes of bread for us, but for a breakfast costing several hundred for four people, it wasn't worth it. If you want to enjoy breakfast properly, definitely plan your time carefully. 2. We were three adults and one child, but we were required to book two rooms. Even though the rooms were spacious, we couldn't add an extra bed. 3. The soundproofing in the rooms was very poor. We could clearly hear our neighbors showering and flushing the toilet at night, and it was quite noisy. 4. We were charged 600 RMB for the two rooms upon check-in. I paid with a credit card, but upon check-out, I was told the refund would take 15 business days to be credited back to my account. That's quite annoying.

Here's a review of the hotel: **Pros:** 1. **Excellent Location:** Situated in the main city area of Malacca, directly above a large supermarket and a street filled with local eateries. Everything you need for food, drinks, and entertainment is easily accessible. It's also not far from major attractions like the Dutch Square (Red House) and Jonker Street. 2. **Cleanliness and Amenities:** Although the interior decor feels a bit dated, the hotel maintains good cleanliness and is tidy. Both the rooms and the entire hotel are very spacious with comprehensive facilities, easily meeting the standards of a domestic four-star hotel or higher. It's also very quiet, ensuring a peaceful and restful night's sleep. 3. **Extensive Breakfast & Large Pool:** The breakfast offers a wide variety of options, though it might not entirely cater to Chinese tastes. The swimming pool is also quite large. 4. **Good Service:** The hotel staff provides good service and is friendly towards Chinese guests. **Overall:** Considering the price point of 300-500 yuan, this hotel offers excellent value for money. The stay experience was very good, and I personally recommend it.

This was my first time in Malacca, and it was also my birthday. I requested a room with a nice view if possible, and not only did I get a great view, but the room was also beautifully decorated for my birthday celebration, which really touched me! All the staff were incredibly kind, and the location was convenient, within walking distance to all the main tourist attractions. The breakfast buffet was also delicious. It was a truly enjoyable trip.

The front desk staff were very enthusiastic. The hotel is newly opened and is already one of the better options in the area. The hotel breakfast was average; while there were many options, the quality was just so-so. The Strait of Malacca is nice. You can also go to Jonker Street to try the 'monster instant noodles,' which are very unique!!!

I booked a 1-night stay in their Lux King Ocean Room at The Lisbon Melaka as I read that it’s a new international hotel that opened a year ago. The room feels very cozy when I entered. The fixtures were still new and the beds were comfortable. It’s come with a smart TV which is a plus point in this day and age. Though it will be better if the TV is slightly bigger as it’s only 32”. The balcony was dismal and the ocean wasn’t that therapeutic and was partially blocked. The breakfast buffet was a letdown as well. There wasn’t much options for selections though the hotel was proclaimed as a 5 star luxury hotel. For the room rate at about RM$337 on a weekday, it’s definitely on a higher side. I think likely also due to low occupancy. Throughout my stay, the hotel was fairly empty and not many rooms were occupied. The courtyard area was really nice, which elevates the resort feel. The pool and gym nearby was really small. So I did not use the facilities. The spa room wasn’t tenanted out too. There was no lift as well, definitely not user friendly for the elderly. Staff Shamirul and other guest relations personnel were polite too. Same applies to the security which offers good service. Will I return, it’s very unlikely.

We had a pleasant one-night stay at Ames Hotel Melaka. The room was clean, comfortable, and well maintained. The hotel environment was relaxing, and the facilities were good for a short family stay. Staff were friendly and helpful throughout our visit. Overall, it was a comfortable stay and we would consider staying here again when visiting Melaka.

The room was clean and tidy, and we even got some freshly baked chocolate chip cookies when we checked in – delicious! 😋 We could even catch a glimpse of the sea. 😄 Breakfast was quite varied, and the check-in process was smooth and quick. 👍🏻 Great value for money!
