Pros:

Eine gute Lage in der Fussdistanz zum kolonialen Zentrum. Pool war angenehm und nicht überlaufen. Zimmer sehr gross und gut ausgestattet.

Cons:

Wände ringhörig, so dass die Dusche des Nachbars besser hörbar war als die eigene. Fenster dicht aber kein Schallschutz. Wobei wir trotzdem gut geschlafen hsben, da in der Nacht nicht viel los war.
In einem Zimmer war die kühle Lüftung trotz ausgeschalter Klimaanlage noch recht intensiv.
Spa hat ein gutes Angebot aber sehr teuer für Malaysia! Schade. Die Mitarbeiterin hatte nichts zu tun. Lieber etwas günstiger anbieten, so dass es auch benutzt wird.
Frühstück sehr schwach und bei weitem keine 5* wert.

Exceptionnel
Pros:

Il est rare que nous attribuions la note de 10 sur Booking. Mais The Majestic Hôtel mérite amplement cette note. Il est certes superbe, très propre ; le restaurant est excellent ; le petit déjeuner exceptionnel Mais surtout le personnel est extraordinaire. Victime d’une grave intoxication alimentaire contracté quelques jours avant notre arrivée à Malacca , j’ai en effet été hospitalisé. Pendant mon séjour à l’hôpital et pendant ma convalescence à l’hôtel (10 jours) le personnel nous ont témoigné d’une attention et d’une prévenance exceptionnelles. Un immense merci à toutes et tous pour votre sourire, votre délicatesse et votre grande humanité..

Cons:

Rien

Pros:

The place and the room was exceptionally good. Enjoyed the stay. It was cozy, quite and peaceful

Cons:

The TV needs to change. Its a very old model with pictures/movies are very blur. Besides, most of the TV channels are unavailable. Unable to enjoy any movies. Such a wonderful place and nice movie would have been perfect.
