there was a weird smell in the lift everytime, the rooftop bar was closed and the walk from jonker street to the hotel is pretty far so you may need a trishaw or taxi. the movie night was good but outdoors when its hot and humid didnt make me wanna watch the movies.

the Baba House was a resort like peranakan style hotel that was very relaxing. the staff was friendly and rooms big. it was very clean and loved walking around the place. the rooftop lounge area was good.

No sound insulation so if you’re a light sleeper you may struggle. Breakfast was very busy, to the point where it was sometimes hard to find a seat.

Superb location in a beautifully restored Baba House. Friendly staff, spacious rooms, very clean.

Small place for breakfast. Cramp at food collection area. Have to wait for seats & distance between the tables quite close. Very noisy. Room rate high.

Clean & roomy for three persons. Unlike some hotels, basic amenities already stoodby without the need to ask for missing stuff. Baba House has a nice, cosy & authentic setting. Staff were patient, friendly & helpful. Room service was prompt eg. when we asked for some ice, they were delivered shortly. In another instance, we were waiting for Grab. It rained & we asked a young male staff who was manning the reception alone to help to collect the umbrellas when the vehicle arrived. After we got into the car, he cheerfully collected them from & at the same time he gave direction to a stranger when being approached. He was able to multi-task & stay cool regardless of the rain. Very convenient to Jonkers walk & the shops.

Very limited n narrow parking

As soon as you enter there’s this lemongrass smell❤️❤️❤️ the interior of the building is nice with mural paintings. IT is nearby to most tourist places ( walking distance). We mainly booked it to stroll around the Jonkers street. There were some decent nyonya restaurants just across the road. Loved the food in kocik heritage nyonya restaurant.( located opposite the stay)

The hotel is not very well soundproofed, which shouldn't be a problem if other guests aren't very loud (unfortunately we had a somewhat inconsiderate tour group on the same floor). The only other negative aspect I can think of is that during our stay there was always a very unpleasant smell in the air in the hallway around the breakfast area (not of food), which you have to walk through on the way to the rooms.

The room looked exactly like the photos and was very clean. The location of the hotel is very good, with everything within walking distance. We were pleasantly surprised that there is a good fitness room for a hotel (I don't think it is mentioned as a feature on booking and is a bit hidden). We didn't have breakfast in the hotel so can't judge it, but can recommend the restaurant in the same building (Rumah Kechik | small house).

The breakfast was very average - kitchen staff seemed disinterested. Our room was a little musty smelling too!

The location was amazing and the staff at reception were fabulous! The movie viewings were cute as an extra! The room was big and spacious and we loved the look of the place when we arrived - very grand!

Since this is a Peranakan-themed hotel, it would be good to have a wider and better selection of Nonya kuehs for breakfast.

The hotel staff are very professional, friendly and helpful. In particular, my family and I would like to commend Mr Leong for his helpfulness. Upon our requests, he was able to give us very good advice and recommendations on the things to do and places to go to in Malacca (restaurants and massage etc). In addition, when I highlighted a constant droning noise in our room that was affecting our sleep at night, he was able to quickly and accurately narrow the cause down to the swinging of the aircon vent in our room. I adjusted the aircon vent movement and the distracting noise disappeared.

There was a strange and not so nice smell in our rooms and in the hallway connecting our rooms. The coffee at the buffet could be better.

Beautiful hotel/museum, love learning about the history of the house, the Peranakan families, the culture and philosophy. The dip pools at the rooftop were great for relaxing.at night time. The staff were super accommodating, helped us with our luggage. Comfortable beds and pillows. Location was amazing, right next to the main attractions and eateries. The cafe below the gym serves fantastic breakfast!

Cute hotel being a renovated old house. It was in a good location just walking distance to the main streets in the old town. We did not pay for breakfast and went out to a cafe.

The breakfast gives room for important for especially European guests. Even the room is too small, and the atmosphere could be better.

Top location in the city center in walking distance to Jonker Street and other attractions. Spacious rooms to the streets, on weekends, might be a little bit noisy at night.

Nestled within the winding streets of Melaka, Baba House stands as a testament to the rich cultural tapestry that defines this UNESCO World Heritage city. Recently, I had the pleasure of immersing myself in the timeless charm of Baba House, an experience that seamlessly intertwined history, culture, and hospitality. Upon arrival, the grand façade of Baba House exudes an aura of nostalgia, transporting visitors to a bygone era of Peranakan splendour. Stepping through the entrance, I was enveloped in the warmth of traditional Peranakan hospitality, as the friendly staff greeted me with genuine smiles and a warm welcome. The interior of Baba House is a marvel to behold, meticulously restored to its former glory, yet tastefully adorned with modern comforts. Intricate Peranakan motifs adorn the walls, while antique furniture and artifacts offer a glimpse into the opulent lifestyle of the Peranakan elite. Every corner of the house is steeped in history, inviting guests to embark on a journey through time. My accommodation at Baba House was nothing short of luxurious. The rooms, adorned with ornate wooden furniture and vibrant Peranakan textiles, exuded an air of elegance and refinement. Modern amenities such as air conditioning and high-speed internet seamlessly blended with the heritage ambiance, ensuring a comfortable stay without compromising on authenticity. Beyond its architectural grandeur and culinary delights, Baba House offers a myriad of experiences to enrich the soul. Guided tours provide insights into the rich history and heritage of the Peranakan community, while hands-on workshops

The breakfast place is easily crowded and noisy. A second coffee machine will help reducing the queuing time when the place is busy. Luckily they have nice tables outdoor.

I would highly recommend this accommodation. We had a room with balcony and it was quite spacious. The hotel is beautiful, very nicely decorated. It is centrally located and has a parking, which is very useful in Melaka. The service is excellent with a very friendly and efficient staff.
