Hotels in Jonker, Melaka

The best thing about this hotel is the location, it’s at the entrance of Jonker Street, where there are many food outlets and selections. During weekends the whole street turn into a night market with lots of food stalls. There are also many pubs along the river side within walking distance. As the room, it was clean and aircon was very strong, it was good for the hot days during my stay.

I made a last minute booking without expecting anything. But, I made the best choice! This hotel is located perfectly within Jonker area. The man at the counter, he was kind, attentive and always smiling. The room, it was spotless, bedding was clean and comfy. The toilet was very clean and spotless. The water running a little slow, heater was not really working. These are part can be working on to improve. Other than that! Value for money!

Mixed Experience – Not Worth the Price Location: The hotel is within walking distance of Jonker Street. However, weekend road closures make it difficult to access the hotel by GrabCar or GrabFood. The nearest pickup/drop-off point is at Public Bank Melaka, which can be inconvenient for those relying on car transport. Room: Standard Family room is pretty small in size, and it does not felt like 28㎡. Likely we were given the smallest room size among the same category as I manage to take a look into another Standard Family room which is much spacious when I was about to check-out. Room cleanliness was lacking, with tea and sugar sachets left scattered in the cabinets. Sound proof needs improvement. Facilities: Security is a concern as there is no key card access control for rooms or lifts, allowing public access. The room furniture was not well-maintained (slanted table, peeling wall paint). The VR room was largely non-functional, only 1 of 4 machines was working during my stay, and access required a staff escort. The room has 2 fixed short hour time slots. Accessibility is also poor. Many rooms require climbing stairs, even on the ground floor, making it challenging for guests with heavy luggage. The only lift available is small, slow, and it felt like a home elevator primarily intended for handicapped access instead of the normal lift type. Service: There is a strict check-in policy. Early check-in, e.g. 1 hour before the standard time will incur a MYR50 charge. Out of the 3 hotels I stayed at in Melaka, this was the only one with such a policy. There isn't much of an engagement of the staff with the guests as well. Overall: The stay experience did not justify the price paid. Maintenance, accessibility, and service standards is a letdown.

Pleasant Stay at Baba Hotel Malacca (Level 2 Room) This wasn’t my first time staying at Baba Hotel Malacca, and overall, it was another pleasant experience. We were assigned a room on Level 2. The room size was decent for two people, with a comfortable bed that provided a good night’s rest. There was no weird smell in the room, and the towels were fresh and pleasantly fragrant, which I really appreciated. The bathroom had strong water pressure and no drainage issues, which is often overlooked but makes a difference. However, the basin water flow was a bit slow, and I feel the bathroom could benefit from a proper ventilation fan. Also, cleanliness between the tiles could be improved for a better overall feel. One noticeable improvement during this visit was the internet speed, which was better than before—perhaps due to a different room location within the hotel. That said, noise insulation could still be improved, as sounds from the corridor or neighboring rooms were occasionally audible. A special mention to the FOM/DM, who was very friendly and attentive—really made us feel welcome. The same goes for the other staff members, who were equally warm and helpful throughout our stay. All in all, it’s a comfortable and convenient place to stay in Malacca, and I wouldn’t hesitate to come back again.

The place is furnished with beautiful antique furnitures, it is good if you love antique Chinese furnitures and get photos. Crews are very friendly and helpful, location is good, 1 min walk to jonker street. The room however is very basic, quite small and you could say old. Sprung mattress where you can feel the spring and the bed creeks when you move. Aircond and water heater was ok. There’s no bidet in toilet. Amenities are good. A very very basic room. Overall, if you want to take nice photos, yes. Room wise, don’t expect too much. Added value, free buffet breakfast, nice 👍

The room was very clean and spacious. Bedding and towels were comfortable and soft. The shower pressure and water temperature were fantastic. The air conditioner was quiet and effective. The receptionist was very kind and helpful. The hotel itself is situated close to Jonker walk which made it very convenient to travel round The only downside I found with the room was that the walls were quite thin/the room itself has a connecting door to another room so I could hear the other guests talking/using the toilet

The location is good and it is quiet, but it was a little inconvenient because there was no refrigerator. Overall, I think I was satisfied as an individual backpacker.

This is our second stay at this hotel. We love the environment, service, and location. It is very homey in many ways. During our second stay, we also noticed the beautiful acrylic art paintings created by talented artists! We highly recommend this hotel to travellers!

Great location clean and cosy hotel. Have been staying in this hotel whenever i visit Malacca and the staff service and hotel cleanliness standard never disappoint me.

The room was literally a small cubicle and so there was not much moving around, except to be in the bed. Actually, the bathroom had more space to be comfortable in, although just very basic. The WiFi did not work and so I missed on on some important transactions and communications. I had to go out into the hallway to get signal to communicate the following morning. The view to the river was the best thing about being in the hotel, we could look outside. This hotel is best if most of your time will be spent outside and you are only coming in to sleep and freshen up, then it’s ok. If comfort, modern ambience and technology are important, then you need to make decision with these things in mind. We appreciated the gift token at the end of our stay, it put a smile on our face.
