Gill Garden Boutique Hotel — Hotel in Malacca

Totally recommended!! So in love with the space fragrance and the modern, scandinavian interior ❤

Let me list all the good things here: Location is so perfect, just 5 minutes drive away to the Bandar Hilir Melaka as well as many famous eateries. 15 minutes drive to the Klebang beach. Even though it is near to many tourist attractions and so much more, but the hotel is located in Semabok, Melaka, a hidden gem from the near bustling and hustling Melaka town. A quiet place to rest at night. Parking spaces = A LOTT!! And FREE!! Iron board + iron are provided but at the common area at each level. Security! If you come back by late night, only Hotel residents can enter via the given access card. Owner is so friendly and he is a Malay. The room is spacious! Perfect for Muslim guests to pray and families with kids! SERIOUSLY SPACIOUS FOR A CHEAP HOTEL!! (I took Deluxe Twin Room for 2 of us, but the space can fit for 4-5 pax) New furnitures and CLEAN room & toilet!! Good TV signal, but only several channels. Fuss free check in. 11.Refundable deposit for only RM50

Sorry guys, forgot to...

Pros :

Easy to find carpark, quiet and chill area.

the bed is ok and comfortable.

the room is big, the hotel lobby there is nice.

Near to restaurants.

Cons :

No lift there, I booked a deluxe twin room at level 2 (is ok I can walk) but the stairs super dusty.

I don’t mind that the room is old, but hygiene is a must to be maintained. The floor in my room was not cleaned or vacuumed at all and I could find hairs on the floor, it was absolutely disgusting. I had to use my own wet tissue to wipe the floor then only I could walk in my room with bare foot. This could not be accepted at all.

They do not provide hairdryer. (It is fine, not expensive hotel)

They should really refurbish the bathroom.

I know it is a 2 star hotel, but the hygiene should be improved. I don’t expect a super fancy room but at least clean and comfortable. The lobby is fancy and bright but nothing related...

No 24h check-in, if you book and arrive after 11pm no one there to help you with check-in. The light in the room was broken but they told me no more room to change and no light bulb available to change so i have to bear with it. I booked theough Agoda so i contacted them to help. Unfortunately the owner of the property denied provided any compensation or cancellation for this room though the quality was poor.

I requested the receptionist to contact manager for a solution but he told me the answer would be the same which are no room available to change and no light...
