Old Town guesthouse — Hotel in Malacca

After 3 weeks of traveling thru Malaysia, I can say without lying that we have seen a lot of locations and had different accommodations (good hostels and, for sure, bad hotels). After that, I have to admit, that this guesthouse made it to the top of the list (the good one of course). Chua is such a nice person, he gave us a friendly welcome, explained us everything we needed to know (where to eat, what to see, how to travel … without his hint we would have never checked if there is a direct bus connection between Melaka and the Airport. That saved us some precious time). The location itself is clean and cozy (visitors have to take there shoes off, fair enough, it's his home). It felt a little bit like home at the minute we entered. They have different rooms, some have their own bath, some have just beds, some with window to the street, some just with indoor windows but all clean and nice. A lot of space to chat with other guests, a huge breakfast table (you can have breakfast whenever you want, and not just from 8 to 10) same for coffee and tea. It's all there, all the time. Beautiful wall paintings and not just simply white, enough comfy furniture to relax after the exhausting walk... After all we regret that we couldn't stay longer. But, if there is a next time, we will...

Had a very quiet and relaxed stay for 3 nights in a good value for money double room. Chua is an excellent host, made sure to explain the main sights and also helped with other destinations on our trip, always happy to help and answer questions. Very clean rooms and bathrooms, good number of shared showers, toilets and sinks. Enjoyed the wonderfully painted common area with plenty of seating and a kitchen, gets hot even with a couple of fans but jist cooled off in our A/C room. Location is quiet and close to some very good restaurants in Little India (satay and Indian), 10 min walk to the sights. Basic free breakfast of bread, butter, jam and hot drinks - jam not the best but a lot of selection. Very quiet when we stayed but think it would be a very sociable place to stay in busier periods. Thank you for having us, hope to come...

The owners are extremely friendly and will go out of their way to make sure you enjoy your stay in their guesthouse and Melaka. They even gave me some fresh banana cake to take with me for my trip back to KL! The guesthouse is very well located just a few minutes away from the historical town center. The room was basic, but big and clean. The bed was very comfortable as well. If I have to be picky, the furniture in the room was very basic and dated, but that is just part of the charm. Breakfast was served in the common area and there was plenty to choose from. All of this for a very reasonable price. Would...
