Hotels in Melaka City Center, Malacca

The Shore Hotel & Resident Melaka— ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Everything was excellent! The room was clean and comfortable, the facilities were well maintained, and the staff were friendly, helpful and professional. The location was also convenient, making the stay even more enjoyable. Overall, a wonderful experience from check-in to check-out. Highly recommended! Definitely a place I would love to return to. ❤️👏

Here's a review of the hotel: **Pros:** 1. **Excellent Location:** Situated in the main city area of Malacca, directly above a large supermarket and a street filled with local eateries. Everything you need for food, drinks, and entertainment is easily accessible. It's also not far from major attractions like the Dutch Square (Red House) and Jonker Street. 2. **Cleanliness and Amenities:** Although the interior decor feels a bit dated, the hotel maintains good cleanliness and is tidy. Both the rooms and the entire hotel are very spacious with comprehensive facilities, easily meeting the standards of a domestic four-star hotel or higher. It's also very quiet, ensuring a peaceful and restful night's sleep. 3. **Extensive Breakfast & Large Pool:** The breakfast offers a wide variety of options, though it might not entirely cater to Chinese tastes. The swimming pool is also quite large. 4. **Good Service:** The hotel staff provides good service and is friendly towards Chinese guests. **Overall:** Considering the price point of 300-500 yuan, this hotel offers excellent value for money. The stay experience was very good, and I personally recommend it.

Overall, I really liked this hotel with its strong Nanyang (Southeast Asian) charm. From the exterior to the room decor, everything felt great. It's within walking distance to attractions and close to the TBS bus station, just a fifteen-minute drive away. However, there were a few things I wasn't happy about: 1. I didn't realize beforehand that breakfast here is à la carte and only starts at 7:00 AM. It also takes a while for the food to be prepared. Since we had already booked our bus back to Kuala Lumpur for 9:00 AM, there was no time to eat. It was a shame, and we couldn't get a refund either. The staff kindly packed two boxes of bread for us, but for a breakfast costing several hundred for four people, it wasn't worth it. If you want to enjoy breakfast properly, definitely plan your time carefully. 2. We were three adults and one child, but we were required to book two rooms. Even though the rooms were spacious, we couldn't add an extra bed. 3. The soundproofing in the rooms was very poor. We could clearly hear our neighbors showering and flushing the toilet at night, and it was quite noisy. 4. We were charged 600 RMB for the two rooms upon check-in. I paid with a credit card, but upon check-out, I was told the refund would take 15 business days to be credited back to my account. That's quite annoying.

Had a really pleasant stay here! The room was clean, spacious, and comfortable. The facilities were great and everything was well-maintained. The location was also convenient. Overall, I really enjoyed my stay and would definitely come back again!

The pipe head is loose. Be careful when open or close the pipe head. The pillow fabric has a dirt spot. The cleanliness of room needs improvement. The hairdryer cannot open. Exchange the hairdryer with another hairdryer. No water bottle. Collect slippers from the counter at level G. The staff is helpful. Free car parking but it's limited. Better bring own towel.

Had a short 1 night stay, last min booking. Main reason I choose to stay here is due to availability of parking. TV is a Google TV that can play any media via USB, if you have one. WiFi in the room is complimentary for guests, but speed wise is not the best, I ended up using my mobile data for better experience. Hot water is consistent and pressure is good, however the room I stayed in had an issue with the drainage which makes you stand in a puddle of water while showering. They provide toothbrush and shaver, which is good. However, if you need to use their iron, they only provide the basic iron without steam function. Not ideal for business travelers, lucky for me my shirt already ironed from home. What I don’t like about the room is they don’t have master switches on the bedside for you to switch of the lights. The master switches is located at the wall near the keycard insert. Breakfast starts at 7am the earliest, and the choices are okay. Their teh tarik is good though. But their room rate is really competitive, so can’t complain much for the price paid.

The environment is very comfortable... it's perfect for a stay... and it's also very close to tourist attractions... I'll definitely stay at this hotel again next time I visit... it's really, really comfortable and convenient.

1. **Location:** Super convenient! It's just a 3-minute walk to Little India and about a 10-minute stroll to Jonker Street. 2. **Food:** Right across the street, there's a huge Indian hawker center that gets really busy at night. Plus, at the corner, there are two authentic local teahouses that are open from morning till afternoon. 3. **Room:** Our room for four was spotless. There were tons of bathrooms and shower rooms available. They even offered free bread in the common area in the mornings!

The room was clean and tidy, and we even got some freshly baked chocolate chip cookies when we checked in – delicious! 😋 We could even catch a glimpse of the sea. 😄 Breakfast was quite varied, and the check-in process was smooth and quick. 👍🏻 Great value for money!

Overall we are very satisfied with this residence and services provided. Location is perfectly good as we could find a lot of nice food nearby. Cleanliness still can improve. Kids are happy with the inhouse playground and adults can play the game machine which quite fun also. Will book again if come to Melaka next time.
