Melaka Hotels with Pools

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 front desk staff were very enthusiastic. The hotel is newly opened and is already one of the better options in the area. The hotel breakfast was average; while there were many options, the quality was just so-so. The Strait of Malacca is nice. You can also go to Jonker Street to try the 'monster instant noodles,' which are very unique!!!

The room was excellent, boasting a fantastic view of Malacca city. Being on a high floor, humidity wasn't an issue at all. It was incredibly comfortable and impeccably clean. The service was outstanding! Absolutely superb!

I stayed at this unit on 1st August 2026 (Sat - Sun). While I checked in around 10:00 PM and understood that immediate late-night fixes might be difficult, the condition of the unit and the host’s clueless, irresponsible handling made this stay unacceptable for the price paid. The host hides behind an automated AI system that spits out completely inaccurate, unhelpful, and generic replies. After wasting precious time forcing my way through to a human, the support was even worse. When I brought up all the missing facilities I had paid for, they turned around and asked me ”what they could do for me” instead of taking charge responsibility. I shouldn't have to tell a host how to run a proper accommodation when I paid full price for the listed amenities. - The floors were sticky and stained. Cleaners were sent immediate in 10 mins, change the floor bucket by using the kitchen sink. - The bedsheets that weren't even the proper fitted size for the bed. - The washing machine failed to function (told me that its broken), and the Wi-Fi/TV setup didn't work (we were absurdly told the Wi-Fi modem was located in a completely different unit's ceiling!, the cleaner told this is New Unit, Wifi Havent install !) - The master bedroom water heater was broken, they went and check, then left the floor with dirty foodprints. Since the water heater couldn't be fixed at night, their ”solution” was to send a technician at 10:30 AM the next morning, offering a late check-out until 1:00 PM or 2:00 PM as ”compensation.” Offering extra hours in a broken, dirty unit while forcing guests to sacrifice their privacy and endure technician repairs on their final morning is not compensation... Instead of offering a proper refund or a fair remedy, the host simply offered copy & pasted apologies (”sorry for the inconvenience caused”), took our money, and left us to tolerate their mess. This host fails to take responsibility even for basic, functional essentials. I’d be better off staying in a homestay or a simple hostel bunk bed. Save your money and avoid Alviv Homestay entirely. Preferring another host for this property as a returning guest. Love the property itself, great location, easy parking, smooth check-in, and low lift wait times.

The hotel is simple and clean. It looks newly refurbished with the paint still looking fresh. It is conveniently situated in the Portuguese Settlement area of Melaka and a short drive/grab away from Jonker street. Perfect for a short weekend trip. Side note: there is a home based Portuguese restaurant a few houses down that was really good.

Very comfortable hotel with a pool, suitable for kids. Great location near the River Cruise jetty, and walking distance to Dataran Pahlawan along the riverside path. Beautiful views... worth it. Shops, especially Speedmart99 and Mamak Sri Sahabat, have really delicious and affordable food. The staff, from top to bottom, are all kind, friendly, and welcoming. You should definitely stay at this hotel... it's worth it. I stayed 1 night, then extended to 3 nights! 😆😆

Although there was a small hiccup when we arrived, we were still able to check into our room smoothly. The staff even checked the air conditioning beforehand and told us to message them if we needed anything. My first impression of the room was how clean and comfortable it felt. When the hairdryer broke, I messaged them immediately, and they replied quickly and replaced it for us. The location is also great, within walking distance to many places and plenty of food options nearby, so you won't go hungry.

I had a pleasant stay at The Apple Premier Suites Melaka. The room was clean and comfortable, with both air-conditioning and a fan to keep cool. It also had a mini fridge, a bathroom water heater for hot showers, and an electric kettle for hot drinks. Everything I needed was provided. Good value and a comfortable stay — would stay again.

We didnt bring any car, no comment about parking. The unit is enough for 6 adult. Aircon work good at living room, but not at the 3 bed room. They need to fix it. We have decent stay at the unit, towel and drinking water provided. One thing minus from the building is the Elevator, only 2 slow Elevator to provide all the unit with 26th floor. There is one time we need to go emergency exit just to go down to the ground floor. 😅

Had a great stay at The Waves Suite Melaka! The place was clean, comfortable, spacious, and well maintained. The room was cosy and had everything we needed for a pleasant stay. The location was also convenient, with easy access to nearby attractions, restaurants, and other places in Melaka. Check-in and check-out were smooth and hassle-free, and the host was friendly, helpful, and responsive. The facilities were good and made our stay even more enjoyable. Overall, we had a very pleasant experience and really enjoyed our stay here. Definitely recommended for anyone looking for a comfortable and convenient place to stay in Melaka. Would happily come back again! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
