    There are ni freezer facilities, so cannot store items that require freezing or need to be kept in cold conditions. Additionally, the water heater is not functioning.

    In the middle of tourist area in Bandar Hilir Malaka and no need to bring a car, just walk only.

    So noisy at night!! There is karaoke below at the same building with people singing well into the 2-3am...

    Location is nearby malls and at night there will be stalls set up across the road and along the way to jonker Street. Somewhat walkable

    There is a karaoke joint nearby and loud singing every night until 2am which affects the sleep. The windows are not cleaned. TV reception is not working well.

    Location, near to attractions. The flooring is not carpeted, which is good as it is cleaner and less dusty. Simple room. Clean beds.

    Location is very strategic. Reach melaka earlier and not yet can check-in but the staff allowed us to park at hotel parking. All the tourist spot is between walk range. 2 min to Dataran Pahlawan, resturant & shop all nearby. Walk distance to Jonker walk & A Famosa. If you tired to return back to hotel, just use Beca.
