excellent - looking forward to our next stay.
Pros:

we love the ambience, the service, the food, the location. It's an iconic hotel and it lived up to the great YTL hotel tradition of meticulous luxury and attention to detail. It is wonderful that there is an EV charger in the parking lot - takes away EV anxiety that our car battery may not last the journey

Malacca and The Majestic deserves to be a prime tourist attraction for international visitors.
Pros:

The decor of the hotel is exquisite old world. The staff are the highlight of the experience. They are unerringly polite and welcoming, efficient, accomodating and generous with their advice.

We loved most things about the hotel. The location wasn’t really close to many resaurants.
Pros:

The staff were always lovely & made us feel that they cared.
The period charm of the place.
The spacious room.
Dinner at the restaurant.

Cons:

No room service & no lunch at the restaurant.
The waiters uniforms weren’t always clean enough & the table in the foyer needed to be wiped regularly.

Definitely a nice hotel but underwhelmed
Pros:

It is lovely colonial style hotel away from the crowds but still in walking distance of the historic Dutch centre. We had a decent room with a comfortable bed and the Staff were very friendly.

Cons:

I have to say the breakfast was pretty poor. You get served a bit of fruit to start which is ok. On the first day we were also offered yogurt but it never materialised and thereafter it was never offered again. Then there's a very small help yourself buffet area with 4 types of sugary cereal - a few things you can add, specifically chia seeds, flaked almonds, dried sweet kiwi - and a bakery section which has some packet sliced bread, small croissants, pain au chocolats, chocolate muffins and a type of pastry with a few jams. None of this food is particularly healthy or good quality. Finally there is an a la carte offering for hot food. It's mostly local food which is absolutely not a problem but what I feel is, is that there isn't much else on offer and the majority of local dishes include fish/seafood which my partner can't eat. There was a full English which was dreadful and then there was a shakshuka type dish which was ok. That's it though. They were kind enough to make me an omelette but it was literally served on a plate on its own - not even a garnish of any sort. It tasted absolutely fine but honestly, for this kind of hotel, I think the breakfast should be considerably better. It might have been ok for one night but for three nights it was just too limited.

On a minor note, I would say the pool and pool area is super small and cramped with sun loungers that are moulded so you can't actually lie on your front.

Excellent Stay, we will return back soon!
Pros:

Perfect Breakfast Choices, freshly cooked for us, we thought it was one of the best breakfast this trip for all 3 days in Malaysia.

Cons:

We were impressed by everything , sad thing was that some entitled customers treated staff badly, we saw that, and the staff were so polite back, I hope management supports these staff and kicks out people who treat staff with the manner we observed on Friday 9/10/26. It was most appalling.
