Older place that definitely feels the wear -- bathrooms are not very nice, peeling paint, etc. But it's in a good location, has a good atmosphere, a restaurant downstairs, and live music every night. Noisy until late (around 1am when we stayed), but not so bad that it was impossible to sleep.

I made a booking with female dormotory, but on sunday, it's suddenly changed to mixed dormitory without any previous information. The staff said it's because of weekend!!! The location was good. The breakfast was poor. The staffs were all good and kind. The room was clean. A.C was working from 10 PM to 6 AM. Wifi not wokring in the room. If you want to use WIFI you should go out of the guest house and walk a bit to the discovery cafe (3minutes).

The blanket is not a blanket but mattress cover, and there is no curtain for the window and cause us sleep hardly with the bright light (room 20) from outside. The wood floor is making noise when got people walk through.

My friend and I stayed for a weekend and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The staff were very friendly and helpful, making us feel very welcome. It was my firend's first experience of back-packing and he loved it.

The location is excellent, just at the center of Melaka. While the room decoration is just average and the bath room could be better. And since it's too close to the center, maybe because of the Deevali festival, it was too noisy to get asleep under strong music and songs. Anyway, a fun experience and the hostel owner is nice.
