5-Star Hotels in Melaka State, Malaysia

Excellent location and service! Generally the room is clean, just that there were certain areas (e.g. basin) that were not cleaned thoroughly as compared to our previous stay. Spacious room and nice seaview! Breakfast was also worth the value!

Pros: Super cozy room: Extremely plush pillows and a massive, super-comfortable King bed. Great amenities: High water pressure, hot water, and premium Appelles herbal toiletries that smell amazing. Wonderful pool: Beautiful pool area that both adults and kids will love. Friendly staff: Excellent, warm, and smiling service from everyone. Cons: Breakfast: Features a multi-cultural spread (Malay, Chinese, Indian, Japanese), but the actual options are quite limited. Maintenance issues: Some furniture (bathroom door and drawers) felt unstable and worn out. Drainage: The bathroom drain was clogged, causing water to pool while showering. Pest & AC: Noticed small ants near the minibar, and the air conditioning took too long to cool the room.

Excellent service! I accidentally booked the wrong dates, and it should have been non-cancellable and non-refundable. However, I was able to change the dates for an extra charge of only 100. It's great that they helped me solve the problem. The room was comfortable, though the view was just ordinary – no sunset, and only a partial view of the sea. The pillows were high, and there were no extras. Breakfast was just okay.

I've stayed at The Majestic in both Malacca and Kuala Lumpur. The one in Malacca isn't huge, but the common areas and rooms are very nice. My window overlooked the Malacca River. The gym, though small, had a good range of equipment, and the swimming pool was on the smaller side. The breakfast restaurant had a pleasant atmosphere, and breakfast was à la carte with unlimited orders. However, I felt it was one of the more average breakfasts I had during this trip; perhaps it just didn't suit my taste. The service was good too. It's definitely worth experiencing if you're visiting Malacca.

Here's a review of the hotel: **Pros:** 1. **Excellent Location:** Situated in the main city area of Malacca, directly above a large supermarket and a street filled with local eateries. Everything you need for food, drinks, and entertainment is easily accessible. It's also not far from major attractions like the Dutch Square (Red House) and Jonker Street. 2. **Cleanliness and Amenities:** Although the interior decor feels a bit dated, the hotel maintains good cleanliness and is tidy. Both the rooms and the entire hotel are very spacious with comprehensive facilities, easily meeting the standards of a domestic four-star hotel or higher. It's also very quiet, ensuring a peaceful and restful night's sleep. 3. **Extensive Breakfast & Large Pool:** The breakfast offers a wide variety of options, though it might not entirely cater to Chinese tastes. The swimming pool is also quite large. 4. **Good Service:** The hotel staff provides good service and is friendly towards Chinese guests. **Overall:** Considering the price point of 300-500 yuan, this hotel offers excellent value for money. The stay experience was very good, and I personally recommend it.

Dusit Princess is a newly renovated 5-star hotel. The lobby is grand and opulent, and the doormen are very friendly and professional. The Indian-descent lady at check-in was a bit perfunctory; a warmer welcome would have been nice. There are plenty of food options nearby, and a 7-Eleven, but no large shopping malls. It's not far from Jonker Street, but on a hot day, it's still a 10+ minute walk. The room was clean, the bedding was very comfortable, hot water was plentiful, and the water pressure was high (almost too high; don't turn the faucet on full blast, or water will splash). The air conditioning, in particular, was efficient, comfortable, and adjustable, making it one of the most comfortable air-conditioned rooms we've stayed in (though a basic fan noise is unavoidable). The hotel's Wi-Fi was excellent throughout, and the elevators were efficient. The gym was well-equipped (though a bit cramped), and the rooftop pool on the 9th floor offered good views and clean water, with both deep and children's sections. However, if you're looking to do some serious swimming, the pool might feel a bit small. Breakfast was quite extensive and international. We ate there for three consecutive days and found enough variety. While the taste wasn't particularly amazing, it was good enough, though some dishes were only lukewarm, which affected the texture. I personally enjoyed the fully deshelled spicy Lala and the green curry beef. The Laksa with 'rat's tail' noodles was also very good. Overall, the hotel is very comfortable and offers great value for money. Having listed the positives, here are some small suggestions for further improvement: 1) The edges of the connecting room doors (door frames) should be sealed with weatherstripping or silicone to improve sound insulation. On our first night, we could hear guests next door talking, but the window soundproofing was excellent and not an issue. 2) A blind or shade should be installed on the small window between the bathroom and bedroom to block light from the bathroom when needed, especially when family members sharing the room are sensitive to light and easily disturbed. 3) The breakfast was delicious, but some dishes were not hot enough. 4) Could the front desk provide local tourism information or brochures?

The hotel is about a ten-minute taxi ride from Jonker Street. There aren't many shops around the hotel, but the lobby is very spacious and the room hygiene is pretty good. It's a decent choice if you're just staying one night in Malacca as a stopover, especially since there aren't many options there. After checking in, we headed to Malacca, which was also about a ten-minute drive. Malacca isn't a large city.

I really loved the hotel's Portuguese architectural style and the simple yet distinctive design of the rooms. Behind the hotel is the Strait of Malacca. Perhaps it was the wrong season, as the water was murky, but after high tide, facing the strait and listening to the wind and waves, you could feel the weight of history and the special geographical location. Surprisingly, there were cannons (presumably placed by the hotel itself) behind the hotel and in front of the lobby. The only minor drawback was the very limited breakfast selection. Overall, the value for money was pretty good.

Spacious room with additional 1 single bed. really exceed our expectation. big bathroom, we were really satisfied with the accomodation. dinner and breakfast provided in the room rate. Thanks very much to trip.com for the recommendation. All staff really helpful. Please join all free activities and amenities provided at this resort such as morning/night safari walk, movie watching, gym/library/swimming pool.

Pros Breakfast had a lot of variety. Bed was very comfortable. Fast Wi-Fi. Spacious room. Amenities were good. Cons Breakfast had many choices, but the food was just average. The location is quite far from everything. Not walkable, so there's nothing much to do at night. The room isn't soundproof. No view at all. The walk from the lift to the room felt a bit eerie, especially at night. Overall: Comfortable stay with a spacious room and a good breakfast selection. Would recommend if you don't mind the quiet location
