Review summary

Powered by OpenAI

Located near to Jonker street and historical sites, this hotel is a perfect spot to explore Melaka. The hotel's staff delivers an excellent service, while the rooms are clean, comfortable, and offer a relaxing ambience with a greenery view. The hotel boasts good facilities with a swimming pool for kids, and a well-maintained garden.

Few rooms have low ceilings and no windows, but most are comfy. Limited parking with cleanliness issues but nearby options are available.

    “Great location and facilities”

    Amazing place to stay at. The location is perfect, very close to the Dutch Square. I loved the swimming pool and free breakfast. They even had bathroom slippers, toothbrush and toothpaste for all the guests, along with 4 clothes hangers each. However, I would have appreciated curtains on the bunks.
