3-Starhotels in Malakka

Heel leuk hotel, dichtbij het historische centrum. Personeel is vriendelijk en attent. Het zwembad is klein maar okay, met de hele dag zon er omheen. De kamers zijn ruim, tenminste die had met 2 persoons bed. Het hotel is schoon , nieuw en netjes onderhouden. De openbare ruimte nodigt uit om te socialisen met andere gasten .. heel leuk. Echter het ontbijt is een ramp, stelt niks voor met alleen brood en jam, sinasappel partjes en een veel te zacht gekookt eitje. Het ontbijt start laat om 8 uur en dan is het al dringen geblazen. :)) Nog een tip is om planten water te geven als er niemand meer rond het zwembad zit. Zo ook om het zwembad niet overdag van chloor te voorzien. Beide kunnen na zonsondergang aub.

My stay at The Nest House in Melaka and below is the review:- A stylish boutique homestay with character, good decor, natural light, comfortable bed. Helpful staff who are friendly and willing to assist. Quiet nights despite being fairly central; good place if you want peace but still be near what Melaka offers. Free parking is a plus. Free snacks/drinks/refreshments in the common area are often mentioned. Toothpaste is not provide, please bring your own. If your room is upstairs, there will be stairs and no lift.

Spacious room with sea view and well-maintained and equipped. TV, air-conds, fans, lights, hair dryer, fridge, washer, kettle, cooker, and microwave functioned well. Basic kitchenware and tableware. Very comfy 2 queen beds. There's an extra futon, but we didn't use it because nobody wanna sleep on the floor 🙂↔️a sofa bed too. We requested a missing towel, and extra toilet paper delivered quickly to our room. Regarding the swimming pool, a hundred guests were wearing normal clothes into the pool 😅. No proper suits. Easy self check in and out. I am satisfied staying at this unit because of the responsive service. Good.

I had a minor accident in front of the hotel lobby—I hit the cement curb/bollard in front of the hotel, resulting in a slight scratch/damage to a floor tile (and this particular tile already had several previous damages from other people hitting it before). Subsequently, an Indian staff member (identified as a supervisor by his colleague) came and took pictures of the damaged tile. The issues I have with his conduct are as follows: He started chatting with a Chinese customer while pointing out the minor damage and simultaneously pointing towards my car, smiling and chuckling slightly as if mocking or being sarcastic. Then, another Chinese man (possibly a customer or staff) approached, and he again showed the damaged tile, smiling and chuckling lightly while pointing at my car. My issue here is: there were also Malay customers present; why did he choose the Chinese customers to point out this issue to, but not the Malay customers? He then approached me and said: ”You have hit and damaged this tile, and you need to know that I will report this to the hotel owner, and you should know that the owner of this hotel is a Chinese person, and I am certain you will have to pay for the damages.” What is the implication of saying, 'the owner of this hotel is a Chinese person'? I asked why he needed to make a scene and involve other customers to talk about the incident while laughing lightly and smiling as if being condescending, and why this incident was being exaggerated when he himself was aware and had mentioned that customers frequently hit that cement curb. Is it now my turn to be made to pay for the damage, after it has been hit multiple times by other customers previously? Am I being made a scapegoat to settle the costs of previous incidents? Where is the commitment to excellent Customer Service in terms of maintaining a customer's 'dignity' or 'reputation' (air muka) in front of other patrons? He made a fuss as if I had brought down the whole building. I am attaching photos of the tile damage and other pre-existing damages.

The location is excellent, on the river short walk to Jonker St yet quiet. We had a balcony room. You need to stand to see the view but it was good to have outside space to watch the boats go by. We also saw a monitor lizard swimming.The room was really stylish and the bed was really comfy with lovely  cotton sheets. We stayed 2 nights and there was no cleaning. Wild coriander restaurant next door is excellent and reasonably priced. The restaurant is owned by a third party and not part of the hotel. It was very convenient to get cabs. We walked to Daily Fix for breakfast which again was excellent.

This new hotel has a great location, surrounded by plenty of food options and shops. It also offers very good value for money and is highly recommended for budget travelers. The room was new, clean, and had a comfortable bed. The staff were friendly, and ample parking is available. It would be even better if a water dispenser were provided.

No frills hotel accommodation Pros: - Located at the entrance of Jonker Street, and walking distance to the center of the historical city ... the main advantage - food outlets are as close as next door, Hard Rock Melaka is just around the corner - clean room and bathroom - access into the premise, to the specific floor and to the room by card only - filtered water (hot and cold) is provided at the ground floor - good soundproofing between rooms and corridor - basic amenities are provided, others can be requested - brief check-in and check:out process Cons - no parking is a major disadvantage given if you are traveling with young children or senior citizen. Also it is not easy to find public carparks in this part of the town - fridge available but takes forever to chill - noises from the Jonker and loud music from trishaws can be heard ... but not so much of a cons if considering choosing the location for the lively atmosphere. There's always a middle room with no window if one prefers a quiet room

Smoke smell in the room and toilet, although this is a non smoking room. We have to use our own air freshener. Better bring own towels as the towels provided are quite old. Room is spacious. There is a ceiling fan in the family room, as the aircon is not cold enough. Breakfast is decent. However, I would suggest hotel to provide jam and butter in individual pack instead of in big bowls. It is not very hygiene for everyone to use the same spoon to scoop and spread it on the bread near the toast area. The hotel is about 10 mins drive to Aeon mall. Ample car park space behind the hotel and it is free. The lift is quite old and looks like going to break down anytime when you are inside.

A very nice place

Actually, I was extremely satisfied from the start, thinking I wouldn't need to look for another hotel next time. There was no unpleasant smell when I opened the door, and everything was very clean except for a few gecko droppings. The bed was so new it was still in its packaging! Most importantly, it was very convenient as it was close to all the places I needed to go. However, when I got back in the early morning and needed to wash up, there was no hot water and no hairdryer. I took a cold shower, and my hair was still wet, so I couldn't sleep. My whole mood was ruined. I didn't receive a reply to the owner's message, perhaps because it was too late. I hope this can be improved; otherwise, even with a better environment, I won't come back.
