Very cheap accommodation, good location
Staff very friendly/welcoming, walked through what looked like a mattress warehouse & parts of the building looked not very clean, bedroom clean & comfortable, shared common room was clean & spacious but the aircon was not working. The bathrooms could have been cleaned better in my opinion but overall I had a pleasant stay.

CONVENIENCE IN THE MIDDLE OF TOWN
Malacca brings back memories of my teen years when I used to drop by for a rendezvous and I love travelling/touring. The reclaimed land/new Malacca offer more choices, conveniences, enhanced by blue Straits of Malacca

Very Kind and Friendly Staff, Good Location !
Staff very kind & friendly. So helpful and hard working. Located 10 mins by taxi from Sentral Bus Terminal. 5 mins walking from Jonker Street. less than 10 mins from tourist attractions. Located riverside but no mosquito or any bugs when I stayed (end of APR). In concern of staff, I stayed in an annex where located 1 min from the orgn bldg, just across the street, not to disturb my sleep because the orgn has bar and little noisy at night. Common space and bedroom were clean. Shared bathroom was enough clean. No shampoo no soap. Shower was just next to toilet seat, but toilet paper was not wet because it was covered. It was inconvenient for me that bathroom has only hooks does not have table where I put my clothes and shampoo etc. I put them on the tank, but it was tilted,sometimes my stuffs were slipped and fell down. Bed & storage box.2 outlets.Air-conditioned.No safety box no fridge.They kept my water in fridge in main bldg. Comfy Cafe & Tasty drinks. Good Wi-Fi conx. スタッフがとても優しくてフレンドリー。いっぱい助けてくれ働き者でした 立地はセントラルバスターミナルからはタクシーで10分。ジョンカーストリートまでは徒歩5分、主な名所・史跡は徒歩10分以下! マラッカ川沿いですが私が宿泊した4月末は蚊など虫はいませんでした 夜はバーも併設されているため静かに眠れないだろうということで、徒歩1分もかからない向かいのストリートにある別館のお部屋にしてくれました 共用スペース、お部屋ともに清潔でした。バスルームは、ゲストハウスはみんなあんな感じではないでしょうか。シャンプーや石鹸などはありません。便座のすぐ横でシャワーを浴びます。トイレットペーパーはカバーがされてあるので濡れていませんでした。ただ、物(着替えやシャンプー等)を置くところがなくフックのみなのが不便でした。トイレのタンクの上に置けますが、少し傾いているためシャンプーなど時々ズレ落ちました お部屋はベッドと物入れのみ。コンセントは2つ。エアコン完備で快適でした。セーフティーボックス、冷蔵庫はありません。スタッフに頼めば本館の冷蔵庫で冷やしてくれます カフェの居心地がよく、ドリンクも美味しかったです W-Fiが繋がりやすい

立地の良いゲストハウス
部屋の設備は普通のゲストハウス。 立地が良く、併設されているお店で音楽を聞きながら 宿泊者はビールが格安で飲めるのがなかなか良かった。 節約した旅行を求める方にはオススメのゲストハウスです。

優しくフレンドリーなスタッフ
とても居心地が良く、ぜひまた次回も利用したいと思えるゲストハウスでした。3泊の予定でしたが、結局5泊させて頂きました。それでも足りないくらいの居心地のよさでした。 女一人旅でしたが、オーナーさんがごはんに連れていってくれたり、観光地を案内してくださったり、他の宿泊客との間を取り持ってくれたり、スタッフ以外もみんなフレンドリーでよく話しかけてくださいました。おかげで友達がたくさん出来、毎日楽しく過ごさせて頂くことができました。 立地もよく、ほぼ全てのマラッカの観光地は歩いて行けます。 施設は古く、トイレにトイレットペーパーはないです。1階はカフェと、夜はバーになっていますので、夜は深夜まで大音量のカラオケが流れます。神経質な方は近くに同じ方の経営するホテルもあるようなので、そちらをオススメします。カフェでのごはんはとても美味しく、日本人の舌に合う味だと思いました。 本当にお世話になりました。是非また利用したいゲストハウスです。

ロケーションは抜群‼︎
マラッカのバスターミナルから市内に出るまで、なんと2時間も掛かってしまった為、辺りも暗くなってしまっていたのですが、アクセス重視で選んでいただけあって、直ぐに見つかり助かりました‼︎ が、暗くなってから案内された共有のトイレ・シャワーはチョット使うのを躊躇してしまう感じでした。

最高でした!
マラッカへ1泊するのに利用しました。素晴らしいゲストハウスです。 スタッフの対応然り、立地然り、ここのゲストハウスに宿泊して本当に良かったと思いました。 またマラッカへ遊びに行くときは是非利用したいです!!! ただ、川沿いの近くにある宿の為、蚊が多いです。 虫除けアイテムは必要かもしれません。潔癖な方も×かも?
