FUN, EASY , AND A PLACE THAT I WILL BOOK AGAIN SURELY.
Pros:

RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF JONKER STREET AND STADTHUYS BUILDING, NIGHT MARKET AND LOTS OF GIFT SHOP & CAFES. THE ROOM IS SPACIOUS, WITH BALCONY OVERLOOKING MALACCA RIVER AND WITH BEAUTIFUL LIGHTS.

Cons:

TOO NOISY COMING FROM THE BAR RIGHT IN THE FRONT OF HOTEL.BLASTING MUSIC UNTIL 2AM. NOT MUCH OF HALAL RESTAURANT AND ONES THAT WAS THERE WAS EXPENSIVE AND THE TASTE NOT MEETING OUR EXPECTIATIONS.

A good location, no taxi needed to get back to the hotel.
Pros:

Wonderful location, close to Jonker Street and to the Stadthuys Area.
The bed was excellent and clean and I slept well. Some noise from outside as close to the centre, but it did not really disturb. There was extra toilet paper available, 2 different soaps, travel toothbrushes and two bottles of water.

Cons:

The bathroom was not clean. Possibly not cleaned ahead of me arriving, as long hairs on the floor, a little black cap on the soap dish. The walls had soap stains, if hard water, scrubbing with vinegar should do the trick. The toilet was clean, but not the surrounding area. No clothes hanger or hook to hang up a blouse. I assume that when the property owner reads this you will be able to book with the assurance that it will be clean from now on.

Pros:

The balcony facing Jonker Street and Melaka River. Location of this hotel is spot on to explore Jonker Street Night Market.

Cons:

No elevator. Steep stairs to get to your room. No fridge and microwave. Just a kettle .
Checking in was a bit of a headache with misunderstanding due to language. The AC in my top floor room was not in working order but was fixed quickly enough.
