Pros:

It was very clean and we got free water every day.

Cons:

There was no window in the bathroom, just a net so the noise from outside could be heard more.

Pros:

Sehr stilvoll eingerichtete Unterkunft in guter Lage. Unser Zimmer war sauber und gut ausgestattet. In circa 10 Minuten ist man zu Fuß im Zentrum der Stadt. Im Zimmer standen für uns 2 Flaschen Wasser, die über den Wasserfilter in der Lobby aufgefüllt werden konnten. Hier stehen auch kostenlose Snacks oder Nudeln zur Verfügung, was uns sehr gefallen hat. Die Gastgeber waren sehr nett und wir konnten unser Gepäck noch einen halben Tag im Hotel stehen lassen.

Pros:

La struttura ha un'architettura molto particolare con una bellissima lobby che affaccia sul giardino. Nello stesso spazio, c'è un frigorifero a disposizione dei clienti, un lavandino e degli snack gratuiti oltre a un rubinetto per l'acqua potabile. Le camere sono ai piani superiori a cui accede solo con scale e sono accoglienti e con letti comodi. Menzione speciale per la pulizia degli ambienti, favorita dal divieto di entrare nella struttura con le scarpe. Staff gentile e disponibile, simpatico il resident cat. La posizione è un po' decentrata rispetto al centro di Malacca a cui si arriva con una passeggiata di 10 minuti.

Conducive Place with Superb Location
Pros:

1) Superb location where there are many eateries and massage parlour nearby. It's walking distance to Jonker street, too.
2) Generally clean with drinking water from the tap, cup noodle, beverages, muruku supplied free of charge at the reception.
3) Conducive environment; quiet surrounding with free parking lots at the vicinity.

Cons:

The floor is not tiled or carpeted, thus good for guest to bring your own clean indoor slippers if you are not used to walk barefoot on cement floor.

Pros:

Très bien. Bon accueil, établissement bien tenu, propre, jolie architecture moderne, de petits snacks sont mis à disposition gratuitement. Chambre fonctionnelle et confortable.

Cons:

La terrasse a du potentiel non exploité. Pas de coussin sur les fauteuils, pas de voile sur les structures pour faire de l'ombre.
Il faut un peu marcher pour le centre, 15 minutes ou prendre un grab qui ne coûte presque rien, donc pas de problème pour l'emplacement un peu excentré.

Stylishly modern hotel
Pros:

The hotel is very modern and stylish. The staff are very helpful. The bed was very comfortable. Near restaurants and spas.

Cons:

There is no elevator so getting up to the 2nd floor can be hard if you're less mobile. Also the hotel is a very long and hot walk from the tourist spots. The taxi and grab drivers have difficulty finding the place.

Oké voor 1 nachtje.
Pros:

Het was heel schoon en het personeel was vriendelijk. De inrichting was leuk en huiselijk.

Cons:

Het was erg gehorig en de kamer erg klein. In de nacht ging het flink stortregenen en het water kwam via de kitrand van het raam de kamer binnen.

Clean and neat guesthouse
Pros:

The Nest House lies just behind one of the main entrance roads into town. Our Grab driver couldn’t find it, so take a look on the map first.

The guest house itself is heaven! Quiet, clean and overal very nice and comfy! We were warmly welcomed and the room was spotless.

From the guesthouse you can walk to the old city centre in about 10 minutes if you can stand the heat.

Ideal guesthouse

Cons:

The first welcome letter we found in the room was a list with penalties if something went missing.. my advice would be to lay this list somewhere in a corner since it isn’t a very nice and trusting welcome. Other than that: a 10/10
