fantastic. Covered pretty much every angle, only possible issue is that it isn't very lively, but this works in its favour, so as long as your not looking fo somewhere lviely this is 100% the place to stay in Melaka. Friendly, more than helpful, the welcome is great, gives you a good grounding and points you in all the right directions. Right ont he river if you happen to get the balcony room upstairs, you step out of your room to a view of melaka river. An absolute steal.

the hostel is located in the heart of melaka\'s chinatown and it makes every place there so easily accesible : little bars or local shops. plus it\'s just by the river so you can enjoy your morning cup of coffee looking at the boats passing by. the couple running the place was very friendly, providing us with all possible info about the local area. you can say that they make this place so adorable. the hostel itself was very clean. so all in total: mostly recommended!

The staff make this place amazing! The building is simple - painted concrete floors, painted walls - some not even painted. But it's airy and clean. The bed is the most comfortable bed EVER and I wish I could have taken it with me :-) Nice communal atmosphere. Not a party hostel though. Great location.

This was my 1st time stay at hostel, im very satisfied with the choice. The location is great, it very near the attraction site, and there are plenty of local foods that u can find within hostel area. The owner of the hostel is nice, she will provide a map for the tourist, but also telling us what should we eat, where to visit etc. In total, me n my friends are very satisfied with the hostel!

I started travelling in 1976 predominately in SE Asia and this is the best place I have ever stayed. Clean, welcoming, good info and attentive but not intrusive hosts.

Mani and her husband are so nice! The room is clean and spacious, just that it's a bit noisy if the room is facing the street, but they have ear plugs and will renovate the room soon! I'll definitely come back again!

Stayed only 1 night. Very friendly and helpfull owners, perfect location in Malacca's historical district. Very characteristic building (old storage house along the river) with great matrasses and spacious room! Very clean, no bugs seen. Towels are provided. Highly recommended, we would stay here again when visiting Malacca.
