Location good

Raining could be a nightmare due to trees or animal that could run pass the roof. May get shock and wake up

First 2 day host was on off. Only on the third day able to meet host and enjoy the restaurant meal

Beautiful shophouse, loved and looked after so well. The owner is extremely thoughtful, knowledgeable and hospitable, and the resident cat is also a brilliant host. Room was huge with tasteful vintage furniture. Great location, walking distance to all the sights of the old town without being in a tourist trap spot. Plenty of food options nearby, and free breakfast made fresh to order in the morning with the room price, customisable for vegetarians too. Host very easy to contact over whatsapp

nothing

continental breakfast was good and the location was central to shopping and sightseeing. The hotel was done with peranakan decorations, nostalgic and nice. The host Collin and his staff were helpful and informative. I would recommend this place for good value for money

Strategic location and friendly host. Worth for money value

The room was very noisy

Nice and very big room. Good breakfast for the beginning of each day. Very good food for lunch too. The host was very helpful. Walking distance to Jonker Street

Soundproof and water pressure could be better. Anyways these are all acceptable for the low price.

The environment is so comfort! The style is good.

Bathroom has no ventilation. Mattress could be more comfy. When I arrived, I wanted to sleep after an overnight flight plus a bus, and there was someone downstairs watching TV or streaming video very loud, I don't know if staff or guest, so I couldn't sleep. But after that day, the place was very quiet. The rooms are upstairs and there is a cafe downstairs, however it seemed to be closed during our stay.

Location. Staff. Cat on the property. Size of room. Breakfast simple but good enough to start the day. Nice traditional house.

Just outside the old heritage part of Melaka and within walking distance to Jonker Street and river.

Easy access, a fan on top of AC, very comfortable bed, nice host, a great place to have a good rest between sightseeing or traveling

Shower heater have a loud noise when switched on. Water flow is not strong and big enough. Suggest to have a floor mat outside of the bathroom and small dustbin in the room.

The place is located at town, very near to Jonker street. Owner is helpful and friendly. Parking is just outside of the cafe. Mr Colin helped me to pay parking online but didn’t want to take my money.

Previous guests need to play their part for a better living experience for next guests.

I love the baba nyonya architecture, brings me back to 1900s. Host is friendly and informative. Love the spacious bedroom and the tranquility at night. Very safe to walk back alone from Jonker Street. Will be a good family gathering to book all 3 rooms. Food is delicious.

Little bit dusty

The room very unique & antique

Stayed in November 2023

A bit noisy at night time till 2am, maybe due to weekend.

The room is clean and spacious. The property owner is helpful and efficiency to respond my message.

The smaller room needs more time to cool down from the afternoon sun, and water pressure not great because heater pump was not working perfectly. But as I shared with my party, this was exactly how it was like in my grandpa's place. It is a full suite vintage peranakan experience, and despite these, all of us enjoyed our stay. 😀

4 of us had a great, "as-it" peranakan home stay experience, right to peranakan meals (not included) we enjoyed at the cafe! The host and family are friendly and we feel really at home! We love the resident cat Joe-tto, who is quite a character. The bigger room with a bathtub gives a "travel back in time" feeling like some movies we watched.😀

Breakfast ioptions limited to western. Its fune but I would have preferred other options

Old shop house converted to Cafe and 3 rooms. Nicely decorated. Bed was comfortable ac and WiFi both good. It is an old house, so floors and plumbing creak, which is to be expected but I slept fine. Cafe serves tasty food at lunchtime. As no one checked in after me, I could leave luggage in the room until 3 pm. when I was catching the bus.

Water pressure at the basin is low although the shower is fine. Aircon takes a while to cool the room on a hot day. The building could do with minor improvements and extra hands to spruce it up.

Good location, an easy walk to Jonker but away from the crowds. Easy to find parking. This is an interesting, 3-room, old shophouse with character, not a boutique hotel. Wifi is OK. The proprietor is helpful and the downstairs cafe laksa is excellent. The dumplings at the shop next door are pretty good too.

Cleanliness can be improved

I love that the owner still maintained the pre war structure and also antique furnitures in the hostel. I feel like I’ve gone back to my grandmothers time when i stepped in the hostel. Water pressure is good and air con is cooling. Saved me from hot weather in melaka.

As our room was facing the main road, we could hear loud noise from the traffic even up til 2am in the morning.

About 15 mins walk from Jonker Street. There are parking bays available in front of the guesthouse. Place is really clean and well kept, and i love the vintage decor in this place. Room is super spacious ( we took the double room with private bathroom) ,and so was the bathroom. The room also came with free breakfast. The owner who runs the place is super responsive on the phone. There was also a water dispenser so we could refill drinking water any time.

Stayed in September 2023

The place is calm and in a beautiful old house. The room has the perfect size, the AC works well. The house is well located, very close from the city center and chinatown. The host was very kind. There is a foutain of drinking water available at all times. Breakfast was good as well (continental breakfast)

Stayed in August 2023

All was correct and we would stay there again. If you don't want to walk these 15 minutes, maybe choose a different accomodation, which is closer to the town centre.

The staff was very nice and friendly, the room was huge and it was clean. The neighbourhood had got many restaurants where you can eat. It's only a 15-minute walk from the city centre and it was very quiet at night.

Colin's place was a really welcoming and timelessly charming place to stay with a wonderful host who was attentive to our needs. The space beautifully curated with local crafts by Colin, transported us to the true baba Nyonya experience of Melaka. From the delicious food available at the restaurant below, a short walking distance from Jonker Street and back to a room that was spacious with a bath to soak after our long day of exploring: It was a really nice retreat and good value overall. Thank you for having us we look forward to visit again ☺️

Since the construction is old and next to the road, it can get noisy at night. The toilet overall was okay, but could have done with some thorough cleaning. Due to the size of the room, the aircon takes time to cool and the fans are quite old too. We had breakfast only once and the options were English/Continental - we would've preferred to try something local instead.

Colin's Place is in a traditional Peranakan house converted into a cafe and an Airbnb. There is a cafe/restaurant that runs till about 3PM, with traditional tables and furniture. The ambience is very rustic and nostalgic. There is an small courtyard area in the centre. The room was very spacious (Laksa is the name of the room) - comfortable bed (though a bit soft), a large seating area with an old traditional lamp. Extra mattresses, pillows etc. were provided as well. The room is huge, and features a lounge chair, cupboard, dressing table, work table and TV. Wifi was excellent throughout. Location is quite good - about 10 minutes walk from the bustle of Jonker street. There are a few traditional kopitiam's around too.
