Find Pensions in Malacca

"The biggest win for this hotel is definitely its location on Jalan Tukang Besi — super close to Jonker Walk and all the tourist hotspots around the area. Location-wise, it’s really great. The only thing is the hotel can be a bit confusing to find because there’s no signage for “Melaka Oracle Bookstore.” On the map and on the building facade, there’s only Chinese writing, so it took me a moment to be sure I was at the right place. I’m also not sure if the owner is Malaysian because they spoke Mandarin, but they can communicate in English, and both the owner and staff were friendly. Along this lane, you’ll also find a few shops that rent Nyonya kebaya and batik shirts, and Masjid Kampung Kling is just a few meters away. To get to the rooms upstairs, you’ll need an access card, and the room door uses a physical key. The room itself is fairly clean, with a comfortable mattress and pillows. The aircond is cold, there’s a wall fan, a water heater, and free WiFi. There were no drinking glasses in the room, but you can refill water from the filtered water machine outside. They also have a pantry area and a washing machine, though I didn’t see an iron board — probably need to ask the staff. Mosquito coils were provided, but thankfully, there were no mosquitoes in my room. However, there are a few things that could be improved. There was no blanket provided, which should be basic. I also noticed some plaster bagworms on the ceiling and walls — these should be cleaned because they can bite and leave marks. The toilet paper roll should be new, not a leftover one. The water pressure is quite low, so showering didn’t feel very satisfying. And the leftover mosquito coil ash should be cleaned before a new guest checks in. The toilet could also be cleaned more thoroughly — no stray hairs on the floor and no stains on the bowl. Overall, the hotel is decent and perfectly okay for a stay. The facilities match the affordable price, and if you’re not as fussy as I am, you’ll probably be fine. There’s also a cute cat mural outside the building. The place has a rustic but charming vibe — definitely has room to improve, but still a pleasant stay."

"The unit is very well maintained despite the building being quite old. The agent was also very responsive. However, the cleanliness of the unit could still be improved. The floor was slightly sticky, and the bathroom had a bit of an odor, possibly due to the piping. Overall, it’s a good stay, and you can tell that the management is very considerate in many aspects. The unit faces the road, so it can be a little noisy. Noise tolerance may vary from person to person; for me, it was still bearable. Unfortunately, our stay coincided with a mak rempit event, which affected the experience somewhat."

"best for helling...with couple so nice.nobody ca'tn distubrt."

"It is the landlord's own ancestral home. The landlord can speak Chinese, English and Malay. It feels very cozy to live in, like staying at a relative's home. The house has a large space and a large balcony, but the sanitary conditions are similar to those of about 100 hotels in China. Since it is not a chain, it can be seen that the bed sheets and quilts are changed every time. It is very close to famous tourist attractions and can be reached on foot in five minutes."

"Great location - walking distance to Jonker Walk, eating places, the main tourist attractions in Melaka."
