We stayed 2 nights in this GH, a few minutes walk away from Chinatown. We had an A/C room with private bathroom @ 85RM per night. The room had a window and the street might be noisy for some people till late. The place is really clean, shoes not allowed inside. Breakfast included, huge shared area with sofas, books,DVDs, wifi,... More

We recently spent five nights at Old Town Guesthouse and we both agree that this is one of the best places we have stayed during eight months of travelling Asia. We'll start with the manager Chua. He is an extremely friendly and caring host. He was always looking out for his guests and asking if there were any improvements we... More

This guesthouse offers excellent value for money. We stayed in an ac-room with an extra bed for our daughter for only 85 Ringgit per night (including a light breakfast). The room was also absolutely clean and the lounge and kitchen area is big and nice. Our 2 year old daughter enjoyed all the space to run around and play very... More

This guesthouse is great value for money. Rooms are clean and the owner (Chua) is very friendly. It feels as if you are at home. Chua will advise you on what to visit, where to eat and help you with taxis... We stayed there for 2 nights when he was doing some works to the guesthouse during the day. It... More

The owner of the place is really helpful and happily introducing local specialities. The place is clean, rooms are quite wide and two lounges offer plenty space for all quests. Location is very good if you want to be a little bit outside from touristic areas, but still a small walk away for going sightseeing. Best wishes from Estonia!

We didn't stay there because Melaka kept us busy,... More

I've stayed in this guesthouse for 3 nights. I find the location very good, about 10 min. walking distance from the old town of Melaka with the major sightseeings and the river. Around the guesthouse there are local restaurants where you can eat cheap and good. The rooms are clean and you have the option with private or shared bathroom.... More

I can only agree with other reviewers - highly recommended. Old Town Guesthouse is very clean, very friendly, very spacious and very affordable. We stayed 4 nights in an air conditioned 3 bed room using the shared toilets and showers, and appreciated the large size of the room compared to other places we stayed in Malaysia and Singapore.
