"Overall good."

Hatten Hotel Melaka

8/10 Good

"The room is clean and spacious. The place is very accessible to nearby shopping, not too far from Jonker Walk. Good transport options for coaches nearby. Washroom does not have a bath tub. The tv seems to be analogue with poor picture quality. Only thing is breakfast is for a lot of customers, quality is average at best."

"Puri Melaka interior is gorgeous and like a peranakan museum! Its location is spot on. All the touristy venues, eateries and shopping areas are within walking distance. The hotel standard room is immaculate, clean and well maintained, however its bathroom is tiny. Breakfast is ok and nothing negative to mention. I will consider staying here when I am visiting Melaka again."

"The hotel is well-situated near some quaint coffee shops & sarabat shops with authentic Malaysian food. 😋😋 There’re stalls which open at night too. The hotel staff are all cheery & very helpful.

The laksa is a must-try!! ❤️‍🔥 All in all, a wonderful stay here!! 朗Highly recommended!! 💞"
