“Perfectly located”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 November 2011

This hotel is perfectly located in the heart of Melaka. Just a stones through away from the river, the A Formosa and Chinatown. It is not the most luxurious hotel in the world and I found the bed a little on the hard side and the room had a residual smell of cigarette smoke. However this was all ofset by the fact that you could roll out of the hotel and into the tourist sites. Additionally the service was very good, they let me have an early check in with no problem, and also didn't charge for my internet usage, when my wireless device was down.

This is my second time in Melaka but first time at Aldy Hotel. The area is very peachful and only 10 minutes walk to the historic area and 5 minutes walk to the broadwalk by the river. I found it very convenient and the room is nice,nothing much al I wanted is a clean sheets ,blanket and bathroom.Over all Aldy Hotel worth the price to pay :)

“Good centralised location, heart of melaka.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 September 2011

Having been to Melaka a few times, this was my first time staying in Aldy Hotel. Aldy Hotel was easily identified because of it's red exterior. However, those driving there will/should face a problem in parking as there are only 4-5 proper parking lots(just directly opposite the hotel's cafe) for the hotel which is not sufficient given the number of rooms. Location was good, not too far from the famous Jonker Walk(around a 10 mins stroll).

Room(suite room) was huge, had a really old OSIM massage chair but it's still operable. Room was rather clean and tidy which is a plus point. However, my room was situated on the 2nd floor of the hotel and by 630/7 am the next morning, we were awoken by the clanging of plates, cups and utensils and even kids running up and down the corridor could also be heard. Do not expect yourself to sleep beyond 730 am.

Aldy hotel has a little cafe/bar called the bamboo hut on the 1st floor which has entertainment(screening of soccer matches, singer) in the night until 11pm. A rather cozy environment to chill out after a hot day of walking. On a side note, they do serve BBQ lobsters BUT, it's not worth the money. Frozen lobsters definitely cannot beat the freshness of a live one. Breakfast was provided, not great but edible, enough to last you till lunch.

Overall, this experience of Aldy Hotel was sub average yet not to the extent of poor. I would recommend travellers who are in search of a centralised location from the majority of Melaka's attraction to stay at Aldy's.

Room Tip: Rooms on the higher floors should definitely be quieter than on the lower floors.

“Excellent location, but dingy rooms”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 August 2011

We stayed for two nights as part of a tour and were impressed with the location (right in the midst of the historic part and near to Chinatown). However, the lack of natural light in the room was the biggest problem, as was the poor selection of food for breakfast. They were replacing the much moaned about carpets, during our stay (so our experience was enlivened by being high on the pervasive stench of carpet glue!)

“Not too high of an expectation”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 July 2011

people found this review helpful

Stayed at Aldy Hotel during a weekend trip. It was pretty cheap for a huge room, the suite, at SGD$140. Bedroom comes with an old but usable massage chair, a pantry and jacuzzi. As we stayed in suite room at level 2, just above the restaurant below, both my partner and I were irritated by the clattering of plates in the morning. It started to get noisy at about 7am in the morning which kind of interrupted our sleep. Thus, I'm not sure if its possible, but do request for a room not in the second level.

The location of Aldy was fantastic. It's only 7 minutes walk from Jonker street. If anyone is driving there, they do have 2 lots for hotel guest. Should they run out of lots, they will always allow you to park right infront of the hotel.

The Bamboo Bar at the hotel is a relatively good place for drinks, entertained by this guy who sings and plays the guitar. One of the waiters was extremely pleasant.

Room Tip: Do not stay in the second level.
