    Couple seeking charm and comfort

    Had a great time at this place. the staff were super friendly, went out of their way to help us take some memorable photos and they even had this cool movie night projected, felt like home! Plus, the location is right by the famous street so we could walk everywhere without dealing with the crowds.

    It wasn’t exactly cheap, but I’d say it was worth it.

    charming decor
    friendly staff
    lack of play area

    The hotel is a 5-minute walk from bustling Jonker Street, making it easy to explore local shops and eateries. We loved the charming decor, blending traditional Nyonya style with modern comforts. Plus, the friendly staff even welcomed our small dog!

    My kids wished the hotel had a designated play area for them.

    A Charming Getaway Near Jonker Street

    Enjoyed the vibrant atmosphere with family-friendly eateries nearby. The antique decor added a unique touch to our stay. Don't miss Mari Chiak restaurant for a delightful meal. Pro tip, Reserve your spot ahead of time during weekends to avoid long waits!

    Charming, Charming, Charming

    I was absolutely captivated by the beautiful blend of history and luxury! The spacious Family Suite was a cozy hideaway, with a lovely balcony and a surprise bathtub that made our stay feel extra special. Plus, being steps away from all the buzzing activity of Jonker Street was a game-changer for exploring amazing shops and trying out delicious food!

    no hot water
    crowded dining area

    The room had no hot water supply, which was frustrating. When I brought this to the front desk's attention, their response was unhelpful and felt dismissive. Additionally, the dining area was packed during breakfast, making it nearly impossible to find a table or get assistance from the staff.

    crowded breakfast area
    limited hot water

    Baba House Melaka is perfectly located in the heart of Melaka, just a short walk from Jonker Street and the river. The junior suite we stayed in was elegantly designed, featuring comfortable beds and a clean bathroom. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, making our stay even more enjoyable.

    The breakfast area can get quite crowded.

    quirky design
    spacious rooms
    great location
    soundproofing issues

    Interesting design elements like ceramic door knobs and Greek key crown molding add a quirky charm. Spacious rooms with high ceilings provide a unique atmosphere, coupled with a great sightseeing location in old Melaka that offers easy access to local attractions.

    Rooms lack soundproofing, making it easy to hear movements and conversations outside. Many rooms come without windows, adding to the dreariness. The absence of a TV remote and the subpar breakfast featuring limited cereal options and no fresh juice were also disappointing. Additionally, a persistent musty smell lingered throughout the room, particularly in the bathroom, which had drainage issues and an unpleasant odor. Also, the air conditioning didn’t cool the room adequately, despite being set to the lowest temperature.

    comfortable beds
    good water pressure
    streaming options
    cleanliness issues
    noisy ambiance

    The Deluxe Double Room was a decent size and pretty comfortable overall. Cleanliness was okay, but some areas felt a bit neglected. The water pressure in the shower was solid, which was a plus. The TV had streaming options like Netflix, perfect for winding down after a long day out. A bit noisy at times due to the building's age, but the ambiance was charming. Friendly staff made things easier too.

    disorganized check-in
    limited breakfast
    noise from surroundings

    The hotel offers a unique historical charm and is ideally located near popular attractions. Our room was clean and comfortable, but the check-in process felt a bit disorganized, and the breakfast selection could be improved. This place is great for those wanting an authentic experience in a vibrant area.
