Booked this hotel via Living Social site, got it for half the price for a Deluxe Riverview room. Did not expect much of the hotel however it is really old, dated and tired looking. The entrance was drab and lobby was badly lit. Room was dark, dirty and bathroom amenities were very minimal (no shower cap). Bed sheet felt thin... More

Great customer service - Front Desk was excellent at check in and check out. Lobby - average. Does not carry the brand image.. Basic hotel room amenities, nothing to shout about. All in the room was in working order..requested for a connecting room but only next to each other.. If you need to request anything from Housekeeping, make sure it... More

If I could give this hotel a negative score I would. I arrived at this hotel in the early hours of the morning only to be shown not one, but two equally dirty looking rooms with grotty mouldy bath rooms, broken shower screens, floors that had not been mopped and hair from the previous occupant on the toilet seat.

This hotel is right next to the river. You can walk along the river or jog in the morning. If you wish, you can purchase river cruise tickets from the hotel. We only had breakfast in the hotel. Its very Malaysian (read spicy/hot). Only problem we had was the loud music from another official function on the other side of... More

The hotel is located right along the Melaka River and has its own river cruise pick-ups at 10am, 3pm and 8pm, but be sure to book your tickets early at the hotel reception. It's also convenient to walk along the river banks to get to the main historical areas of Stadthuys and Jonker Street. It'll probably take about 20 mins.... More

Nothing to complain about, but the standard is a bit lower than the usual Best Western standard (the price as well, to be honest). However, it is fairly clean and at walking distance from the main attractions; breakfast matches the usual BW standard.

Stayed here for a weekend break from JB. Hotel position is really good with great views of the river and Jonka Street in the distance. Check in was very good, albeit no porter to take you bags to your room. Rooms are a little bit tired and sparce , could do with sprucing up and perhaps have a picture or... More

Had the opportunity to stay here recently for a quick family get-away over the weekend. Found a great deal on Booking.com and went ahead with the reservations. The hotel was not that difficult to find, seeing that we drove from Kuala Lumpur entering Melaka without a map nor GPS. We just headed towards 'Pusat Bandar' and used our instincts -... More

The taxi desk at Melaka Sentral didn't know where this hotel was, nor did the taxi we took from the street; But - when we finally found it - the location of this hotel is actually very good: Right on the riverside, and around 15 minutes walk to Jonker Street and Hard Rock Cafe.
