Rapport qualité /prix excessif
Pros:

Hôtel moderne, récent, avec des espaces communs splendides.
Chambre normale avec balcon clos de persiennes ouvrantes.
Literie (très) fatiguée: attention à votre dos!
Salle de bains fonctionnelle mais éclairage mal placé.
Petit-déjeuner mauvais inadapté aux européens: thé infect, croissants insipides, jus de fruits artificiels, un seul fruit,…,
Personnel souriant: un jeton cadeau ouvrant droit à une boisson d’accueil: sans doute un cocktail? Non, un verre de jus de fruit sucré en bouteille 😥
Rapport qualité / prix excessif

Pros:

Das Hotel ist sehr charmant eingerichtet.
Es verbindet die alte Peranakan Kultur mit der moderne der heutigen Zeit. Das Personal war sehr zuvorkommend und hilfsbereit. Es hat uns dort sehr gut gefallen. Mitten in Chinatown gelegen und alles fußläufig erreichbar.

Absolutely beautiful boutique hotel in Melacca
Pros:

Beautiful hotel. Really nice ataff.
Room was very nice and really well stocked (earplugs, razor, toothbrush and paste, shaving cream etc).
Breakfast was nice.
Fantastic location 2 mins from Jonkers Street market (which was incedible) and Geographers Cafe (brilliant bar).
Came back in the evening and they were projecting a film on the wall in the courtyard.

Cons:

Only, really minor thing was the window situation. Due to the building layout, there is only one small window in the room opeining into a light well so you get natural light. The window faces the same window in the room opposite (12 feet away) so you need to keep the blind drawn for privacy. Maybe adding a one way reflective film to both windows would allow you to keep the natural light while retaining privacy?

Fantastisch verblijf, aanrader
Pros:

Fantastisch verblijf. Super centrale ligging, prachtige kamers en hotel qua aankleding en faciliteiten. De pools op het dak maken het wel echt af.

Cons:

Het ontbijt zou wel iets meer Westers mogen. Vrijwel geen keus..

Beautiful stay in Melaka at the Baba House!!
Pros:

The place is beautiful from the entrance to the room. The staff were great, the room was beautiful, and the location was wonderful! We loved our stay at the Baba House and loved being able to walk around Melaka easily from the hotel and explore the area. Such a great town and the Baba house is right there easily accessible to everything we wanted to see or do. Lots of great dining, fun riding in the many cyclo bikes, walking along the river, seeing the fort and historic sites, shopping and eating. It was a great day and a great night at the hotel!

Cons:

Maybe add muesli or oatmeal on the buffet breakfast with some dried fruit. The spread was very nice but would love to have seen one of the above mentioned choices as a preference. But the food was tasty!

Good value, picturesque but modern.
Pros:

Premium offering, very sympathetically restored/upgraded block of old shops, retaining the frontages on a picturesque old street. Service excellent - h/t to manager Dennis and team (Naz, Ain, Jeremiah and Michelle). Decor first-class, with excellent internal security. No swimming pool per se, but rooftop offers bar and very attractive (and unusual) lounging pools. The entrance courtyard is a lovely spot to enjoy a drink and watch the street go by: they also use one wall as a cinema screen part of the time, which is novel. Rooms spacious, good air-con and water pressure (hot water takes a while to kick in). Wi-fi good, and very central for restaurants, night market, central tourist district. Excellent breakfast, but heavy on Asian food (like most of Malaysia, food is Halal).

Cons:

Although a good size, I think internal rooms, without windows, might have been a little claustrophobic.
