The hotel offers a stunning sea view and cityscape from the rooms, though the dim lighting gives a slightly eerie vibe. The friendly service and strategic location near tourist attractions make it a practical choice despite the simple dining options. The pool area is enjoyable, although it can get crowded.

Rooms

The rooms face the sea and the main town, but the worn-out and dimly lit decor may give off a 'haunted' atmosphere. However, amenities like a refrigerator and hairdryer are provided.

The hotel is situated on the rear side of the city, making it a peaceful retreat minutes away from major tourist spots. The rooms offer a great city view and a bathtub, but there was a slight strange smell hinting at the hotel's age. The service was exceptionally helpful and friendly, ensuring a pleasant stay. The dining options were limited, but the location's convenience and ample free parking made up for it.

The hotel has a nostalgic feel reminiscent of the 1960s and 1970s, offering better than budget hotel accommodation but in need of modernization. While sudden water issues surfaced, the ambiance calls for renovations or demolishment. The service encountered issues with bed availability and guest documentation mishaps, even though various staff departments were responsive to concerns.

I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The location is very convenient, close to many tourist attractions and with ample parking. The rooms have a musty smell that could be improved, and breakfast ordering could be more efficient for guests who prefer not to visit the cafe early.

I had such a nice view of Malacca from the 18th floor, but the room was not very clean, and there were some maintenance issues. The staff, especially the Senior Front Desk Receptionist cum Night Auditor, were really friendly, although they stared a bit, probably because I'm a white guy with long hair. The location was okay if you drive because it's minutes away from most tourist attractions, and there's ample free car park space. The dining options were quite limited, but the stewed partridge was a standout choice.

The hotel offers spacious, clean rooms with a nice view, making it a great choice, especially for close friends. The service staff, with 10-15 years of continual upgrading, were friendly and helpful.
