같은돈이면 깔끔한 호스텔에서 보내시거나 돈을 더내고 호텔에서 지내시는 것을 추천합니다.

숙소 위치는 네덜란든 광장이나 존커거리 야시장 등 관광지에 걸어서 대부분 다니기 좋습니다. 숙소는 생각보다 낡고 더러운 느낌이 들었습니다. 이불이나 배게는 낡고 굉장히 찝찝한 느낌이 들었고 샤워하기에도 좀 불편했습니다. 누울곳만 있으면 잘 자는 편인 제가 그럴정도면 다른 분들은 좀 힘드실 것 같습니다.

Bonne hotel, mésaventure fâcheuse

Hotel très bien situé, chambre au rez de chaussé un peu petite pour 2 personnes avec chacune une valise mais plutôt confortable. L'une des deux personnes à la réception (d'origine birmane) été très accueillante. Quant à l'autre nous l'avons retrouvé dans notre chambre le dernier jour juste avant notre départ, alors que nous revenions de petit déjeuner. Il s'est plus ou moins excusé et s'est éclipsé rapidement. Résultat 50€ et 150 ringgit disparus.

飯店位置優，離夜市幾步之遙

這間老闆還蠻健談的，服務很不錯～ 不過我們7:00到時鐵門都拉下，沒得進去......等了2小時才開 房間很乾淨，床也很舒適，重點是來馬來西亞唯兩間看不到蚊子的旅店（共住4間） 早餐也很棒，三明治裡面的料超豐富（起司....） 總之很值得推薦！！！

The centre of China town and Jonkers Walk. Great!

A low cost value place to stay. I had room two, small, in fact compact but all I needed. Own shower/toilet with little extras like shower gel and shampoo, aircon, secure locking, queen bed and wifi. The whole area is old and this place is a Chinese house shop conversion. It has character and comes with decor flaws but easy to over look for the location. New owner manager and some work being done every week. The cafe part is a small courtyard cafe across the road serving great Lebanese fare. Very friendly and good service. Other rooms share bathroom.

立地は最高に良く、ジョンカー通りから2分くらい。近くにはフットマッサージとミニストア有り、設備はゲストルームよりいい感じ。掃除はあまり行き届いていない。シャワーに毛髪があったりした。なぜか部屋の片隅に女性用のＴバックが脱ぎ捨てられていた。

존커스트릿에서 가깝고 직원이 친절!

영어로 소통하기에 어려움이 없고, 한국어도 살짝 하는 분이 있었어요. 혼자 지내기에 무난했고 밤늦게 드라이기 빌려달라고 할때도 웃으면서 대해줘서 편하게 지낼 수 있었어요. 버스 시간대 여쭤봤는데 홈페이지 뒤져가며 알려주신건 진짜 감동! 다만 수건이 헤져있었고, 에어컨에서 소리가 엄청 탁탁탁탁 난다는점...ㅎ 환기...가 좀 어렵다는점..? 샤워기 수압이 조금 낮다는점..? 그래도 편하게 쉬고, 잘 지내다 왔어요. 직원친절은 별 다섯개 이상!!!

The motel I went was totally different from what was shown in your hotel.com apps. The room was suck! It was only big enough to fit in a double bed with NO space at all on the 2sides of the bed. It gave us a very strong oppression ! No bottled water was provided at all .And the worst was,that was no privacy at all! We were in the room for just about 10mins, we heard all sorts of noises of washing clothes, hanging clothes,people walking to and fro outside our room. And also people continuous singing while washing clothes! I asked for a refund from the owner and was told that i need to go through hotel.com After that,

Super séjour dans cet hôtel ! Le personnel est très sympathique et l'hôtel est très bien situé. Ideal pour visiter Malacca. En ce qui concerne la chambre simple et efficace. le plus aurrait été d'avoir les toilettes et la douche au même étage que la chanmbre.

Strategic location

It's was great to stay at here as it was a strategic location to many tourist attraction nearby that you can walk in the short distance such as jonker street night market, St. Francis church, shopping malls also at nearby. Overall is okay unless the room is a bit small for couples.

ホテルの名前が実際は違っていて、見つけるのに苦労した。予約MAILの地図を確認して名前が違うことに気づいた。フロントの人は感じ良かったが、いないときもある。部屋も値段の割にはよかった。立地は、マーケットのすぐ近くで便利だったが、早朝はタクシーが近くを走っておらず、大通りまで歩いた。

Bien, pero los hay mejores

El hotel está muy bien situado y lo elegí porque el precio de la habitación individual estaba bien. Sin embargo, vi otros muchos hostales con mucha más vida, más gente joven. Aquí, el lobby estaba colonizado por los dos trabajadores y casi siempre con todas las toallas y sábanas que lavaban. Por cierto, la lavadora cuando quise usarla me dijeron que estaba rota; no pude poner la colada. Teníamos que cerrar y abrir no solo la puerta, sino la verja cuando no estaban los trabajadores; un rollo. Los baños no estaban muy bien.
