We loved the very unique building, the many antiques throughout the residence, and the location. Also, the staff was ready to meet us when we arrived and ensured a parking spot was available.

Actually nothing

I stayed for 2 nights as a solo traveler and really enjoyed the unique charm of 5 Heeren Museum Residence. As the name suggests, the place feels like a living museum — full of antiques and old-world character. Don't expect modern minimalism, but all the essentials are there: air conditioning, warm water, and a comfortable bed. A truly special stay if you appreciate heritage and atmosphere!

The location is perfect with the old town steps from the door. The house is filled with treasures and you can freely wander amongst it all.

Slightly noisy due to other guests but proximity of rooms was the issue.

Excellent location in the centre of Malacca. Parking was provided and was convenient to the location. Quirky and interesting place to stay. Breakfast was very good and the hosts were attentive and helpful.

Being on a major junction may be a bit noisy at night but that’s part of the charm of being in middle of all the action.

The location is fantastic, the room was comfortable and the decor is like being in a traditional old home. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The breakfast was generous.

Nothing, it was a lovely experience would have liked to stay longer.

The whole atmosphere of the hotel was amazing. There was so much to look at and take in, a truly unique place. The breakfasts were lovely, so nice to try all the traditional foods. Camilla and her staff were very attentive.

This boutique hotel is perfectly located, right in the centre of Malacca. As others have said, it’s like staying overnight in a museum. The attention to detail is incredible. Breakfast was like an introduction to the very best Malaysian breakfast food available, super interesting and tasty. Loved staying here and would definitely return!

Not much really. There wasn't much to complain about. But it is not a 5-star hotel with all the amenities e.g. swimming pool, gym, sauna, bar, restaurants etc. It's intended for those who want a really nice room in a historic setting.

If you'd like to stay inside of a piece of history - with antiques around you and a vibe that brings you back over a few hundred years...well then this is place for you. The photos don't do justice - the place is quite a bit nicer in reality. This is a small boutique hotel so service is personable and it feels almost like you're staying at someone's house. The breakfast is super - it gives you a very good introduction to nyonya/baba (Peranakan) breakfasts...and honestly I'd find it hard to find similar on the streets of Malacca (probably cause I don't know where). The staff are very helpful and friendly. The location is fantastic if you want to be in the heart of Malacca town and near the various historic sights/museums.

Since this is an historic house with original interior, there are two things one should keep in mind: - The stairs are kind of narrow and might pose a problem for those who are not very mobile. - The beds are on the short side, and taller people might want to double-check beforehand.

This is a very special place, an historic mansion. The house is beautiful, and the location perfect: right around the corner of Jonker Street. The staff was wonderful, and the Malaysian breakfast delicious.

Having to leave!

Truly exceptional- a wonderful historic hotel in the heart of the city. All the decor was ‘just right’- it had a wonderful atmosphere and felt like a home rather than a museum. All the facilities were to a high standard. All the staff very lovely especially the owner who kindly explained all the different foods served at breakfast.

Lovely stay at 5 Heeren Museum Residence, a fabulous & lovely Peranakan boutique hotel with great collection of antiques & artifacts, compliments with lovely plants & flowers. The staff are very helpful & polite. The owner takes a lot of pride in the hotel & her collection, taking time to explain on the history. The hotel is so kind & generous to offer breakfast for us (although it is not in the package), allowing us to have a taste their home cooked nasi lemak, laksa, prawn noodles, chicken rice balls, fried bee hoon, prata, butter&kaya toast, the assortment of Nyonya kuehs.

I loved our stay at this lovely hotel. Located by the Melaka river in the heart of the town, it is in a fantastic spot to begin your exploration. The breakfasts served at the hotel are wonderful and tasty spreads of the paranakan cuisine that helped us understand the culture, tradition and history of the unique melting pot that Melaka is. The staff are very kind and welcoming and they made sure our stay went marvelously well.

1. I think the room is a bit congested, I suggest relooking into this 2. Only display those are needed and maybe an empty small table is needed for guests to put their small belonging like wallets, watch, spectacle and etc

Breakfast is fantastic and the host is great at getting personnel in touch The staff is good and excellent Overall, the Environment is great and clean especially when we need to take off our shoes and go upstairs, this is something new and good, maybe add a shoe rack on the ground floor so we can put shoes more organized
