“Central location!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 January 2012

If you happen to be Catholic and there on a weekend... the Church is right next door. Walking distance to local eateries. Rooms just OKAY, not keen on carpet though. Central for parking but not to close to Shopping Malls. Had a good Malacca meal at a restaurant across the road, past the Renaissance Hotel and to the left, it shared a Temple courtyard. Ambience was great, very windy that day. Food C&G. Saw a local Kway Teow stall at the corner, with long long queues so decided to get some.. Hmm now wondering what the people were queueing for. Waste of time, kway teow way below Penang standard or even some Singapore hawker stalls. Expected alot better.

Room Tip: Pool facing rooms can get a bit noisy when there is a function there!

“$180 for cold water shower, that was what I got..”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 December 2011

It takes 15 mins from hotel to jonker street
the hotel car park is big and most important...it's free!
nice view and comfortable bed (if you stay in deluxe room)

test the hot water supply once check in to the room. Dont think you want a cold shower after 2 hours walking in jonker street.

“Pricey and Old Hotel”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 December 2011
1
person found this review helpful

The location of the hotel isn't too bad. It is not near to the main attractions of Melaka like Jonker Street and the Stadthuys but it is only 5-10 mins drive straight down the main road of Jalan Bendahara.

This hotel is not worth the rate it charges because it is too old and not refurbished.

Room Tip: There are no good rooms. All rooms are dated.

“Poor Location, Dated and Poor Food”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 December 2011

The hotel's decor is dated and equipment very old. The old CRT TV could barely hold a still picture. The pool was serviceable. Breakfast was barely acceptable and boring. The buffet dinner was cheap but bland. Overall, very poor food. Location wise, everything around the hotel except the 7-11 seems to close in the evening. If you wanted to eat something other than the poor hotel food, it is a very long walk or catch a taxi to town.

Room Tip: Roooms have shower over very high bath, probably unsuitable for the elderly or physically challenged...

“Overpriced and needs refurbishment”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 November 2011 via mobile

If you needed to stay in Melacca and there was nowhere else to stay this hotel is clean and relatively quiet. It's price however implies a level of charm and service which is woefully lacking. The rooms are old and tired, with the furnishings worn and poorly functioning (no hot water, blocked sink, mouldy shower curtain). Service was civil but disinterested. Drinks in the bar were appaling. Sweet warm white wine which had clearly been open for some time. Overall a tolerable but disappointing experience.
