The location is great, its only a few minutes to walk to the city centre. The room was beautiful and clean (though a bit small). The bed was comfortable and it is very quiet, so I slept wonderfully. The windows are sooo beautiful. In a country, where it is normal to have no windows at all or windows that only go inside the house it is amazing to have huge windows, a lot of light and an amazing view in the gardens of the Sultans Palace. The pool is also great and good for swimming.
I found it a bit too expensive, but on the other hand it was the only place in the city cente with a pool.

The family suite size was great for 3 people - plenty of room to move around and enough space for luggage and shopping. Separate toilet and bathroom so that we could use both simultaneously - no waiting. The hotel was very thoughtful and had turned the air-con on before we checked in. It was really nice to come into a cool room, especially in this hot weather.
Parking is a bit challenging if you are driving. The road leading to the Inn is a dead-end, and insufficient room to turn the car around. Also limited spots. You may have to park on the main road.

Everything is exceptional! We opted for double room in a hostel and instead got 5 stars hotel luxury in a very modern premises with so many well- thought welcoming details (tooth brushes, great quality shower products, an iron, hairdryer, coffee, tee, bottles of water, a kettle!!! They even offer two types of pillows- the ones with duck feathers and the ones with synthetic/ regular feeling)! Everything is sparkling clean! The reception features ice cream freezer and cold beverages for very affordable prices.Seating area has very comfy sofa and amazing view of jungle-like garden! Finally, you can swim in an amazing swimming pool with sun- beds and sound-system playing int. music hits! Not to forget wonderful staff members always smiling and ready to assist! All in all, very satisfied with our stay at this exceptional place!
There is absolutely nothing to be disliked about this place!

Spacious and walkable distance to Jonker area.
toilet is too dim and cramped. corridor light is too bright, good to consider lower wattage else allow us to adjust the brightness. also, good to consider having a standing lamp near the tv console. find that area is dark, not able to draw the curtain from that spot. the bed is soft + it gives squeaky noise when there’s movement. lastly, the flask cord is too short! need to place on the tissue box before we can start boiling water. the tip handle of the flask is not insulated properly, it’s hot and i got scalded when i tried to pour the water

Room nice view of gardens very unique n good sunlight n it's fine n comfort bed to have a few days rest n tour around the streets near by Rucksack by walking, lots of chinese food along the streets,chinese chicken n roasted pork rice on both sides n Baba Nyonia goodies was amazingly delicious,I may come back for more to a try.,,,!
there's smell from the drains n the streets are narrow but got to look out for crazy motor cycle riders dashing their way to your parh n also crossings not to your considerations they just come right in front of you n stared at ,have to be carefully along every narrow streets in malacca.

The place to stay in Malacca! The pool is a plus....good to visit the city half day and be in the pool the other half. Good to stay 3/4 days or more. Helpful staff and very nice people. Clean. Close to everything but quiet area. Female dorm with ensuite bathroom for 4 girls...it's enough. I hope to come back again!
The lockers are too small and if you need to use one more you have to pay 50RM

facility wise : theme and deco were very symbiotic location : not hard to find even when road blocked for jonker nite street cleanliness : could not find a strand of hair nor odd odour staff: wonderful ,helpful and ready to assist checking in: was clear and fast, no hassle
maybe the toilet deco or the waterproofing coat was not that comfortable and due to that the floor felt oily and grea. though it was shining clean.

Peaceful and quiet location. A pool for cooling off in. Some of the rooms have a lovely view of a park next door.
A few weird design features. No bathroom mirror. TV was not great and doesn't have any streaming options. The bed was a bit small and creaky. A deposit has to be paid (??). Anyway, these are relatively small issues and I enjoyed my time at this hotel.

Our stay at the rucksack was very nice. The hotel is super comfortably situated, only a few minutes walk into the city center but still 'far away' so it isn't loud at night. The room was spacious and clean. The pool is very nice and refreshing. The staff is friendly.
There is nothing really to complain about rather some explanations why we did not give the full 10 points. The surroundings of the pool could be improved by adding some trees to provide some shade and make it a bit prettier in general. The rucksack in general needs some more attention to detail to update it for example the wallpaper was coming off on some walls.

Loaction is just beautiful, from our window there was an incredible view of the garden facing the Melaka Sultanate Palace Museum. Everything was in walkable distance. There is small pool outside. Receptionist helped us to call taxi to Melaka bus station.
Everything was good. It should be noted that behind the hotel there are some abandoned old houses, but we did not feel unsafe for a moment, and it wasn't the hotel's fault.
