“New and clean....that's about it.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 January 2012

Stayed 1 night over the CNY period recently.

Pros:
Check-in and check-out was hassle free. Being new, everything about the Hotel works. Room, bed sheets, towels all clean. Bed and pillows were comfortable. Breakfast spread was reasonably good, food taste ok.

Cons:
1) Room decor was spartan - only 1 wicker chair and a stool. No mini-fridge, no tissue box.

2) There is no coaming at the shower area so during a shower, the water spreads out to the other parts of the toilet and the floor got wet and slippery. This could be very dangerous for young children and old folks.

3) They gave only 1 door access card...inconvenient.

4) Although the Hotel was near to shopping areas, (5 mins drive on a clear road) the traffic condition was very bad on the day we were there. It was almost impossible to drive out and we did not get to do any shopping or have dinner out that night. We were told that traffic jams are a norm during public holidays and weekends.

My advice : If you are happy just being in bed all the time (cos there is no comfortable sofas or chairs to relax in), then this new, clean Hotel is good value for money. But, if you want to shop or do some sight seeing, then give this Hotel a miss and choose one that allows you to walk to the shopping areas and city centre.

“Better late than never”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 January 2012

It was a couples with babies foodspotting trip to Melaka. The hotel was new and clean just like I'd seen in the other reviews, that's the reason why we stayed there. Just want to point out a few important thing. The GPS coordinates of this hotel, it is 2.19768, 102.23334. On Bing Maps it looks like this is a hoax because it is a coordinates right out in the Straits of Malacca. But it is not, tihs area is still rather new, and it is in a reclaimed area, so that's why, but on Google Maps, you should see it right. Don't use the GPS coordinates from the hotel's website because it brings you to a row of shophouses. Since we had young babies with us, it was rather inconvenient not having a fridge in the room, but fret not, we brought out old Coleman ice box, which worked pretty well. Only the family suite had a fridge but we didn't take that. Other reviews commented there are no kettle, tissue box, etc, but to our surprise there is. So having boiling hot water is not an issue. Would recommend to anyone who is driving to Melaka.

“Nice hotel”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 January 2012

person found this review helpful

Stayed here for 3D2N, based on those reviews, not putting high expectation on this hotel, but overall I think is ok, I might come again next time if Im coming to melaka.
Their room quite clean, toilet functioning, aircond functioning, staff are friendly that they always put a smile on face. =)
For the bad thing, it might be their location, cuz is new so you might find it not many shops around that you have to drive to the town, and bear with those sounds come from outside the room or the room beside, because their wall is not thick enough to anti those sounds.
Overall, I would say not bad. Worth to stay here. =)

“New addition to the Malacca Scene”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 January 2012

My husband and I stayed at this hotel in mid November 2011. As it is a recently opened hotel is was as expected... brand new. Rooms and bathrooms clean, kinda spartan but that is okay. Breakfast could be improved a tad! Rates are good. Decided to do the grand tour of Malacca hotels in the future and up to date have tried Bayview and Holiday Inn (another story)

Room Tip: Back facing rooms get a view of the city, the other side... great view of carpark and construction a...

4 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 January 2012

Clean, spacious, modern design, good location and worth the money
Need to train the front office staff. 2 staff handling 1 check in customer and let the other customers leave unattend.
Breakfast should have more varieties.
