Well... the location is great. You couldn't find a more central or romantic place to stay. The room is also kind of cozy, definitely old-school. Great view of the river. The owner is incredibly nice. But... We booked 36 square meters. The room was 16 square meters plus a small bathroom without hot water... Taking off your shoes at the front door and walking barefoot through the house is also a matter of personal taste. The offerings urgently need to be revised. And the price is too high for what you get. But still, I'd recommend it for the right kind of renter. But I wouldn't book it again... Too quirky. Too expensive. And far too many barriers throughout the house. The toilet is designed for short people.
A nice place, a bit far from the attractions so had to take a taxi but there are lots of places to eat.
No elevator and you have to go up a flight of stairs.
Nice place for solo travelers.
The check in is a bit of a hassle, where you need to contact the owner and they'll give you instructions on how to pick up the keys, where to get them but fortunately the check out is very simple. You just need to drop the keys in the box for check-out.
Overall the environment is quite clean, there's a restaurant out front, near the main road so it's very easy to find.
But it's NOT near well known locations like river cruise, taming sari, shopping mall.

This was a very short trip to Malacca, but luckily I found this hostel. It was very comfortable and the staff were incredibly kind. I would definitely stay here again if I ever get the chance to return to Malacca.
