I had a lovely stay in redhouse Melaka. This hotel is new and it is convenient to all tourist places, literally a brisk walk away you’ll find yourself infront of Christ church. Jonker street is also just a 5 mins walk.
I’m given a canvas bag when I checked in, and a fridge magnet when I checked out. It’s a small gesture that will make me remember forever, will definitely come back to stay again the next time I’m in Melaka.

A 2-year old boutique hotel. Super friendly staff, love the nice Perankan deco around the hotel. Comfortable bed and pillows with standard room amenities. Love the shower gel fragrance. Free movie screening nightly at the courtyard; good place to relax with a drink and snacks while watching movie. Good location, walking distance to Jonker St but away from the buzzling noise. Highly recommended and will book this hotel again.

Below are my overall feedback on the hotel based on my ranking from worst to best:
1. The parking area is cramped in space and no elevator, there is a link bridge but on level 3 only. You may unload your stuffs on lobby for the hotel staffs to help you out
2. The shower area is dangerous that could lead to an accident/injury, i bumped my elbow to the concrete slab and it’s very hazardous
3. The air conditioner takes about 2 hours to cool down the room completely, you may check in early by requesting with the hotel based on availability basis
4. The hotel staffs are very friendly and helpful
5. The hotel location is well strategic

It was great!!! Such a u unique hotel! Everyone is so lovely and friendly. But I do think the breakfast service was a little slow mainly due to lack of staff I think.
Hotel room was just phenomenal!!! So beautiful! Majestic indeed!
The air conditioning is a little weak for my liking but all in all it was a great stay. I would definitely stay here again if I’m in malacca.

I had a pleasant stay at this hotel. The check-in and check-out process was quick and hassle-free, which made the experience even more convenient. The room was clean, spacious, and well-maintained, providing a comfortable environment to relax in.
The staff were friendly and welcoming, always ready to assist with any needs. Breakfast was well-organized despite the long queues during peak season, ensuring a smooth flow for guests. The food tasted good, though there’s room for improvement. My only suggestion would be to adjust the coffee machine’s ratio of coffee to milk, as the coffee was too creamy and lacked a strong flavor.
Overall, it was a great stay, and I would recommend this hotel for its excellent service and comfortable accommodations.

Our stay at this hotel had its ups and downs.
First, the cleanliness left something to be desired. We were surprised to find strawberries and a sandwich left behind by the previous guest in our room’s fridge, which made us question the attention to detail in housekeeping.
On a positive note, the staff were friendly and provided good service whenever we needed assistance. However, the check-in and check-out processes were frustratingly slow compared to other hotels we’ve stayed at, which detracted from the overall experience.
The highlight of this hotel is its location. It’s very convenient for getting to various attractions and spots around the area, which made our trip more enjoyable.
Overall, while the location and staff service were positive aspects, improvements in cleanliness and efficiency are needed for a better guest experience.

MMuhammad Irsyad Bin ZainiI recently had the pleasure of staying at OYO 90899 Tube Hotel Melaka and the experience surpassed all expectations. From the moment I stepped through the grand entrance, I was greeted with a warm and welcoming atmosphere that set the tone for a truly memorable stay.
The check-in process was seamless, with the staff demonstrating exceptional hospitality and efficiency. The attention to detail throughout the hotel was evident, from the elegant lobby adorned with tasteful decorations to the well-appointed rooms that exuded both comfort and style.
Speaking of rooms, mine was a haven of tranquility. The furnishings were modern and plush, creating a cozy ambiance that made it difficult to leave. The bed was a highlight, offering a heavenly night's sleep with its luxurious linens and a selection of pillows that catered to personal preferences.
The hotel's amenities were equally impressive. The fitness center boasted state-of-the-art equipment, and the spa provided a rejuvenating escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life. I particularly enjoyed the rooftop pool, offering breathtaking views of the city skyline. It was the perfect spot to unwind and soak up the sun.
Dining was a culinary delight. The on-site restaurant showcased a diverse menu featuring both local and international cuisine. The chefs' commitment to using fresh, high-quality ingredients was evident in every dish. The breakfast buffet was a standout, offering a wide array of options to suit every palate.
The service was impeccable, with the staff going above and beyond to ensure a pleasant stay. Requests were handled promptly and with a genuine smile, adding a personal touch that made me feel like a valued guest.
The location of the hotel was also ideal, situated in close proximity to popular attractions, dining options, and shopping districts. Whether I was exploring the city or simply strolling through the nearby parks, everything was conveniently within reach.
In conclusion, my stay at [Hotel Name] was nothing short of exceptional. The combination of luxurious accommodations, top-notch amenities, and outstanding service created a truly memorable experience. I wholeheartedly recommend this hotel to anyone seeking a refined and indulgent getaway. I look forward to returning to [Hotel Name] in the future for another unforgettable stay.
KKee Wang CheongA unique experience in Ohana House HQ! Strategic location makes the stay difference. Located by the Malacca river and the famous line clear stall. Walking distance to River Cruise jetty, Jonker’s walk, and other famous tourist attractions! Can consider if you plan to travel during school or public holidays. You can avoid traffic congestion by walking.
AAlly EjaLocation: strategic near jonker walk, klebang beach, various other facilities such as 7E, Farmasi and many more.
Check-in: services and inquiries are less than satisfactory. Put a sweet, polite and civilized face near the counter so that customers who come tired of driving from afar do not lose their mood.
Exit Registration: the checkout process takes time, you have to wait for them to check the room before returning the deposit. there is usually a little boy eating a little dirty snack near the bed sheet. wash it, you won't wash it after we checkout. You can also recycle the towels that we used on the first day. the second day you put the same towel.
Accommodation and rooms: so far beautiful suite-type rooms. Satisfied.
AAtiqahzafThe room was spacious. pool towel provided as well.
everything was totally good and fine ,with friendly staff. except for the breakfast; minimal choice. I guess most of the traveller preferred to have breakfast outside of the hotel.
IIzham IsaI stayed at ibis Melaka from 27 to 29 December 2024. The hotel has an excellent location, being within walking distance of the Stadthuys and Jonker Street, making it very convenient for exploring the area.
The cleanliness of the hotel was satisfactory, and the rooms were well-maintained. However, there are a few areas for improvement. During breakfast, coffee and tea were not replenished promptly, and the coffee bar was left unmanned at times, which was slightly inconvenient. It seemed the hotel was understaffed during my stay.
Despite these minor issues, my experience was overall satisfactory, and I would consider staying here again for its great location and decent amenities.
RRUI QIGreat location if you’re going to Malacca by coach bc it’s right at the pickup/drop off point outside hatten hotel. Hotel came with bedroom slippers, amenities like shampoo/conditioner/body wash, disposable toothbrush, and bottled water which was appreciated. The room itself isn’t the cleanest because there was a lot of dust all around. There were also stains on the couch in the suite.
Breakfast was just downstairs, simple but nothing fancy. Good part was the egg options. The coffee machine was broken for quite awhile on both days of our stay during breakfast. Met quite a few staff who were friendly and nice - cleaning lady on level 6, the concierge staff who helped us store our bags and guy who was fixing the coffee machines on both days. Overall an okay stay for a family trip to Malacca but would hope to have cleaner rooms!

MMrs.NService by staff ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ . laju je reply whatsapp, procedure nak check in pun sgt mudah.
bilik okay, u get what u pay. for cleanliness, rasanya kena improve lagi sebab lantai bilik yg sy stay tu kotor, pijak lantai je boleh rasa melekit🥲 before check in dorg mmg akn minta deposit, normal laa kn utk mana2 pnginapan . process refund depo pun sgt cepat dan x rumit mcm hotel 😌 which is mmang akn dpt pd hari yg sama kita checkout hotel.
