Pros:

Een zeer grote kamer met balkon met uitzicht op de rivier in een prachtig oud pand. De badkamer is ruim, twee wastafels, een bad en ruime inloopdouche. Een waterkoker, koffiemachine en koelkast. De lokatie is perfect, alle bezienswaardigheden en voldoende restaurants op loopafstand.

Cons:

Het ontbijt was ronduit slecht, weinig keus. Daar mag iets meer aandacht voor komen

Fine for a short stay but lacking in appeal
Pros:

Our room, which was on the ground floor facing the river (although the view is currently obscured by building works) was very large and the bed was comfortable. There was a safe, a fridge and tea/coffee making facilities in the room. The hotel location was great: very close to the river and only a few minutes walk to the main tourist area.

Cons:

This could be such a great heritage hotel but there is something a little odd about the place, although it is hard to put a finger on what doesn't quite 'work'. In the bathroom, there was no hand soap or hand towel. The shower was above a bath with high sides which was very slippery. The breakfast was very limited (a choice of three 'sets') and pretty uninspiring. (it ranked last out of our 15 different hotel breakfasts in Malaysia and Borneo).

Good stay.
Pros:

The location is excellent, and the staff was very friendly.

Cons:

The TVs need to be updated to smart TVs. They still have old TVs with five or six local channels.

A bit more than usual but worth it.
Pros:

Hotel Aava is a beautifully decorated and well-maintained older building with quiet, spacious rooms and an excellent staff where everything works: AC, Wifi, hot water. The breakfast is perfectly satisfactory, and the 'Campong Oolu' restaurant across the street is also excellent and very attractive.

Cons:

Our room didn't have a window; this, however, was not a problem.

Un hôtel avec cachet en centre historique de malacca tout en étant très calme.
Pros:

Un hôtel avec cachet côté deco un peu ancienne du lobby et pièces du bas. Une chambre très moderne et confortable. L’emplacement en centre ville (5mns à pied) et hyper calme.

Cons:

Le petit dej est offert mais pas bon.

Le Lieu de l’hôtel est pratique et son côté désuet a du charme !

Établissement un peu désuet mais cela fait son charme
Emplacement très pratique

Cons:

Tasses à disposition dans la chambre pas très propres
La salle de bain pourrait être un peu plus propre

Pros:

Spacious rooms, amazing location, helpful and polite staff, complimentary breakfast!

Cons:

There was some constant smell in the washroom, not sure if it was the water or the pipes. One of the ceiling lights above the bed kept flickering which was a little annoying

周りに朝から営業しているオシャレなカフェがありました。
