We had dinner and enjoyed their Chef's Ayam Kapitan so much that we ordered 4 packs to bring home for our families to try...we also bought mooncakes so yummy. Hotel staff & manager are cheerful & helpful. We learnt from the hotel team their favorite eateries and we tried their recommendations - super! Keep up the great service. We will return...

The private bathroom comes with a shower and hairdryer. The Parameswara Suite also includes a bathtub. Extras include a sofa, desk and a safety deposit box.

Everything. We were in a junior suite, on the 2nd floor. The room was spacious, clean and functional. Staff were very helpful, polite and friendly. They were always ready to help with any questions or requests guests might have. Breakfast choice was very good, and we chose mainly local food offering, rather than the Western style breakfasts, so we can only comment on that part of the breakfast. Everyday, other than the nasi leak main staple, they have something different for us, ie Java apple one day, Kueih (local dessert) one day, and biscuit on our last day of stay. We were very lucky that we bumped into Daniel, who happened to be at the hotel that morning, and drove us to the bus station, using the scenic route along the way.

    A very chic and stylish hotel. Well decorated and the attention to detail and styling were very good. The branding is good with very distinct style and signature. The modern industrial and New York design is very appealing and attractive. Hotel and its room are clean and well maintained. We were pleasantly surprised. I would stay here again if we visit Melaka in future.

    Gorgeous boutique-style hotel. Would have been 4 times the price in Europe. Lovely big, clean and airy rooms. Just a 5-10 MYR grab ride away from the centre which took 5 minutes. Felt like a 5 start hotel from start to finish.

    Lovely boutique hotel in a restored townhouse. No elevator but the staff were very helpful and helped us with our luggage. Staff on duty 24/7 to open the hotel doors which made you feel safe. Location is fantastic! Close to Jonker Street and other attractions but still away from the buzz. Will definitely recommend!
