    Nearest parking was hard rock cafe, or pusing pusing cari mana ada slot kosong, not even a proper drop off spot.. restaurant downstairs was closed at night so we didnt manage to try it out. when we checked out, it was slowly opening. you cant pass thru restaurant if closed , so have to enter and exiit through river side. You self check in means making sure phone has battery at night since you need a torchlight to pass a closed restaurant going in and out at night, no lights except for at staircase, dead cockroach on floor, lots of steps. not recommended for elderly as toilet only on upper floor (we knew about this) and also kids be careful on the spiral staircase

    Huge space, double beds comfy, location excellent for tourist, easy self check in, many restaurants nearby, 5mins walking to jonker street, right next to river but view of street infront

    I loved that it was located near Jonker Walk, it was clean and cozy, it looked like the host had a vision on how the place would have the “heritage” touch to it and still looks modern. It was perfectly chilled in the place

    Only has 1 bathroom and it is located on the upper level, have to climb the narrow spiral stairs up and down all the time. The mopping pail was left in the bathroom, not quite a pleasant sight as the bathroom is not very spacious...had to move the pail around when using the bathroom. Having to climb spiral stairs, this place is not recommended for elderly people.

    Place is acceptably clean considering that it's along a busy Jonker area. Beddings are clean and comfortable. Air cond & water pressure was good. A good place to stay for young people on the go!

    - Hassle to make the deposit if you don't have the eTNG wallet (Touch n Go). Had to pay extra bank fees if you use bank transfer, and owner can only refund via eTNG. - The spiral stairs not ideal for children or elderly folks. - There is no sink on the 1st level, making it very very inconvenient as we have to either leave the apartment to use the sink at the cafe downstaits or climb up the stairs to the toilets. - The sinks outside tge toilets are small, making it hard yo do any proper washing. - The fans upstairs responded erractically to the remote control. When we turned off the fan in one tent, the fan in the next tent got activated! Took us a lot of tries to finally turned off all of them as the aircon was cold enough. - No TV to watch, have to use own netflix account. Please state all these in your description. Quite disappointing.

    Superb location right at the front end of Jonker Street.

    Accommodation is above the restaurant and you can hear everything!!!!! The boom box, played on repeat for many hours until closing and their cleaning up, was coming through the floor into my bedroom loudly. We asked for it to be turned down at 10pm and they were not happy with the request!

    Quaint. Central to old Melaka and near the markets (held Friday, Saturday, and Sunday).

    Absolutely loved the authenticity of the property and the vicinity. However was aware it was in a busy street but due I guess to no insulation which is the nature of the building the noise from the cafe downstairs was so loud. It wasn’t particularly busy but the staffs voices just carried and until 1 am. Would have stayed longer but not for us If you are a night owl all well and good but come 11 I need my sleep

    There is no sink downstairs so washing any cups needs to happen in the upstairs bathroom. There's also a cleaning fee for leaving things unwashed which considering the circumstances is not great. Would have liked a couple of mugs for tea/coffee It was extremely loud at night and internet was terrible. The remote controls for the fans activate random fans not the ones intended so we could not stop them all once started without unplugging.

    The location is great and the staff was very helpful although we never met them. The beds were comfy enough and the upstairs was charming. The AC worked great though it does not reach the shower area.

    Great location! Very big double storey apartment that can fit a group of 8 adults or more. Downside was no counter for your toiletries and a very small sink. Also the wifi is bad. Other than that very nice stay. Location was superb. Next to hard rock cafe.

    It's not suitable for small kids and elderly to stay, because there have 2 staircase, first one is for you to climb up to reach the entrance. The second one is in the house, the staircase is to the 1st floor. The second staircase is spiral staircase and very slanted and narrow. The bed concept is camping concept, is put on the floor, is not suitable for elderly. Both of the toilet is at upstairs, so it not convenient for kids and elderly~ During stay until check out, the wifi is not able to connect even the they said already call the service centre to settle the problem. In the night is heavy raining, the ceiling got a hole and the rain water flow down from the ceiling, they ask us to put the towel on the floor to absorb the water, that's all. Luckily is not rain for the whole night, if not I think we will busy with the rain water~ I hope owner can fix the leaking as fast as possible

    Near to the Jonker Street and some of the tourist attractions. Is face to the Malacca river as well, have not bad view~

    There is no basin on the first floor. So any simple washing, like hands and the dishes, will have to be done on the second floor. The basin is also too small for washing the dishes.  There is also a struggle on the first day when trying to enter with the digital lock. It is not easy, even with the instructions provided.

    The location was superb. Jonker Street is less than 5 minutes or less from the guesthouse. My children love the room a lot. The tentage concept makes the place so cozy. I thought it would be hot inside the tent while sleeping on the bed, but it is actually cold with the fan turned on. We have the river view apartment, which is another bonus to the stay. Although there are one or two negative points, but the overall experience of staying in the guesthouse was fantastic.

    Very clean and cosy. Interesting concept using tents for privacy. Large duplex with enough room and beds for 8 pax. Fantastic location and view of the river. Responsive owner.
