2-Star Hotels in Melaka

I was there with 13 of my friends. To our surprise, the whole unit is very clean, much higher than our expectation. The beds are clean, the toilets are clean, the karaoke system is very good (according to one of my friends who sings a lot), the TV comes with different channels catering to young and old, the kitchen is in tip top with all the cutlery. Can park 3 cars inside the porch and 1 car outside, suits groups with a few cars. Service from the Management Team is responsive, even when I messaged them in the middle of the night on the day when we were supposed to check in. Location is around 20 minutes drive to Jonker Street or surrounding ”famous” eateries. 5 minutes walk to a nearby Chinese coffee shop selling Chinese food and a Muslim eatery selling Muslim food. Convenient for those who just want to have a simple coffee and food for breakfast. Will definitely book this place again if I were to go to Malacca again with a big group of friends or family. Highly recommended.

Ease of check-in: It's located in an alley. My check-in experience that day was quite dramatic. I arrived as the sun was setting, and the hotel is tucked away in an alley. There were a group of dark-skinned laborers gathered at the entrance, which made me hesitant to go in alone. I waited until a young couple came along and followed them inside. My navigation still showed the hotel was further in, and it was almost dark. Carrying two bags, I didn't dare proceed alone. I tried contacting customer service to ask the front desk to meet me, but no one responded. Safety: It felt quite safe; you need a key card to enter. Amenities: There's a coffee machine and a hot water dispenser, but the showerhead in the shower room isn't detachable. Hygiene: Quiet. You take off your shoes upon entering, and you have to go barefoot in the shower.

This is my second stay here. We booked a deluxe double room and got a ground-floor room right behind the front desk. The room wasn't huge, but it wasn't cramped either; there was still enough space to sit. There were plenty of outlets, the air conditioning worked well, and there was also a fan. The room was clean and smelled good, and the bed and pillows were comfortable. In the wardrobe, there were several hangers that seemed to have been left by previous guests. The bathroom provided soap and shampoo, and the water pressure was good. There was no drinking water in the room, but you could always get water from the dispenser behind the front desk. Tea and coffee were also available.

It's worth more than the price, the location, the facilities. I paid less than RM50 per night (not including the RM50 deposit). The bathroom and showers are amazing. The heaters is 5/5 stars, complete with shampoo, soap, towels. We got a window with the city view. The room is big and very comfortable, the air-conditioning is fully functioning. A lot of space for prayers. I'd definitely book this hotel again, next time.

Overall, the experience was acceptable the ocation was convenient about a 10-15 minute ride to the city centre, which made getting around quite easy. However, there were several issues during our stay Cleanliness: We noticed some smallinsects on the floor. While it didn't significantly affect aur stay, it would be better if the rooms could be more thoroughly checked and cleaned. Customer Service: All communication had to be done online through WhatsApp, as there was no face-to-face front desk service. This was quite unconventional and sometimes made things less convenient when we needed assistance urgently. Room Equipment: One of the air conditioners in our room kept switching on and off by itself and wasn't functioning properly. Even more concerning, the hairdryer had a short circuit, produced a burning smell, and even sparked flames. This was a frightening experience, and although it was eventually replaced, waiting a full day for such a serious issue was very disappointing.

My first stay here was with my child during the summer holiday, and this time it's for work. Both times have been quite good, at least the place is clean. It's located right in the old town, which makes shopping super convenient. The security access is also pretty good and safe. And you absolutely cannot miss the durian ice cream shop not far from here – it's amazing! 😎

Cons: -Reception closed after 7PM till next day morning! Please beware if you are checking in after 7PM. I reached there around 6.45PM, but already no one there. But there is a notice at the door saying we can contact someone to collect room key. Afterall, we are able to checkin successfully. -No lift. I carried my luggage up 2 floors. I know I can't complain with the price I paid. -No hairdryer. Since the reception is closed, I gave up asking the staff for help. -Looks like this hotel changed its name, now managed by someone else. I am guessing bcs of this, there is no manpower for the reception. Pros: -High value for money, this makes me come back in the future -Spacious room, compared to other hotels with the same price, cleanliness is also good -Quiet environment for me, although it might look a bit creepy at night for someone -Coway water dispenser machine at reception, although the lights are all off since reception is closed. -Ample parking for free. Not private parking by the hotel so I guess there are some kind of small charges by the city council (MBMB) -I actually called the hotel's local line on the checkin day (apparently that time the reception is still open) to confirm my booking. The staff over the phone was nice and polite. *Sry for the messy room as I only took it during checkout

The Swing & Pillows group is one of my favourite accommodation brands in Malaysia. I've always had pleasant stays with them. One of the top notch is the affordable price. Moreover, the staff are friendly, welcoming, and accommodating, while the check-in process is quick and hassle-free. The rooms are consistently clean and comfortable, especially the cosy beds and soft pillows that ensure a great night's sleep. Most of their properties also feature a Smart TV, making the stay even more enjoyable. Highly recommended for both business and leisure travellers!

The location is very strategic nearby the red church which is the tourists attraction, also surrounding by famous cafe & bakery. So it’s easily to go anywhere, the road kinda busy but it’s still find for us to sleep. The room is enough for two people and it’s clean. Cute interior of the places, no receptionist standby at the place need to go to the next building if you have stuffs to ask.

This small, Chinese-run guesthouse's biggest draw is its excellent location. It's just a short walk to numerous restaurants, shops, and Malacca's Old Town. However, the facilities are quite dated. The air conditioning in my first room kept leaking, so I had to switch rooms. The AC in the second room also didn't cool well, but I just put up with it. I figured all their rooms probably had similar issues, so changing again wouldn't make much difference. Even the bath towels were torn and frayed. Given the low price, I couldn't really be too critical. After all, you get what you pay for, haha!
