Stayed for one night, 3 pax. One family with one toddler. Location is good near dim sum restaurant. Room size ok, receptionist ok. No phone in the room. And no lift. But I guess that's why the price is competitive.

The Riverside Cardamom

Overall, I had an above average stay. Facilities are basic, but good, as is the price.

Reviewed By macedonboy

Stayed here for 10 nights in February. The check-in was pretty straightforward as I had already booked online. The hostel does not accept cards as suggested on the booking websites, which was annoying as I don’t want to have too much cash. I stayed in the double room with a window view of the river. It was a large double room with a double bed, a desk and chair to work on and a coat rack, but nowhere really to put your clothes. Melaka is unbearably hot at this time of the year and it’s a good thing the room has an A/C unit and a fan. The bed came with two thin blankets. At night I usually kept the A/C warmer than during the day and had the fan on, so just one blanket was fine for me. The bed was comfortable, with a thick memory foam mattress, so I had no trouble sleeping at all. While I think all the rooms had A/C, the common areas certainly did not. That includes the lounge, kitchen and bathrooms. The kitchen is pretty basic and there’s not even a kettle, which is a problem when the water machine is not working, which can happen when there is no water supply. There is no cooking facility, but there is a fridge where you can keep stuff. On the subject of the water supply, Melaka is currently subjected to water rationing where there’s no water from the mains every second day. Most of the time this was fine, but when there’s a lot of guests staying at the hostel, the water does run out i.e. no shower. The hostel has 2 shower/toilet combos and one shower room. The bathroom is rustic and could do with some maintenance, especially with cheap doors and half broken locks. Nothing unacceptable, all clean and usable. The reception has limited hours and in my entire stay, I barely saw the owner. He basically shows up whenever to deal with check-in. Someone does clean up the hostel everyday to clean the common areas, the kitchen and bathrooms, so the place is pretty clean. Location wise, The Riverside Cardamom is about 5 minutes to Jonker Street where the main attractions are in the city. There’s an amazing range of choices for food close by including several vegetarian places. Overall, I had an above average stay. The hostel and the facilities are basic and even quite rustic, but there’s little to complain about. for the price

so disappointing !

Reviewed By Dehondt L

Our family got stuck in a tiny room, we could not even put our suitcases on the floor nor access the tap. the worse thing was the alarm that kept ringing each time one of us would go out to the bathroom for instance, a real nightmare from start to end!!! The breakfast was really disappointed too, nothing of the snacks mentionnes, only industrial bread and black tea/coffee

Yote 28

Yote 28, a modern youth hostel in Melaka with a friendly and international atmosphere. The hostel is strategically located in the heart of Melaka City Centre, walking distance to all the major attractions (Jonker Street, Stadthuys, Victoria Fountain, Christ Church, St. Paul Hill & Church, A’ Famosa, Melaka Riverside and shopping centres such as Dataran Pahlawan and Mahkota Parade).

The Best Stay

Reviewed By bluelad27

This place literally beats a typical hotel. The environment is super cosy and everything is well-maintained. Everything is squeaky clean. The guy who runs the place, Terence, is the best host ever. Very accommodating and meets all your needs. Definitely a stay that's worth your money!!!

Karim CT Guesthouse

Excellent Guesthouse. The best attention!

Reviewed By Vanessa A

The Guesthouse is managed by its owners, Karim and Siti, who are very lovely! The location is great because it is very near to the center of Melaka and the breakfast is basic and very good (includes coffee, tea, toasts, butter and jam). The room and the whole Guesthouse was very clean. We had a wonderful stay in Melaka because Karim and Siti were always willing to help us. Thank you very much for make us feel so comfortable! We'll miss you.

Relish The Moment

I would rate minus if here was option

Reviewed By ZarinaA79

And all because of reception guy, inhospitable and rude. We even "didn't step into hostel" and faced unprofessional behavior of staff, exactly reception guy who was standing behind the bar. He continuously repeated that good ppl don't do like that: book, come but don't stay. He said that we shouldn't book instead just come and see the room, despite the fact that most of rooms were available. First of all the room doesn't look like it was described on booking website, second I would never stay with inhospitable staff like in that hostel. Unprofessional, rude, zero hospitality, he spoiled first impression of melaka people. Never recommend!

Sleep Here Hostel Melaka

Beautiful budget friendly backpacker hostel near Jonker Street

Reviewed By banggedebe

At budget friendly prices this is as close as you can get to a tastefully done-up hostel near Jonker's street - a mere 500 metres away - without having to pay Jonker street's prices. Although the premises are "not on the water" it is just a stone's throw from the riverside. The surprise was the inside. I went with three friends and and at this price point for a hostel, we got more than our money's worth. On the ground floor is a separate reception area where your card key only allows access to the upper hostel floors. Upon ascending the staircase we were surprised that the interior spaces were quite large. There was a huge common room / coffee area for the backpackers to chill. We took the largest available room with the 4 double deckers in anticipation for a few more friends who might decide to crash with us later. It can fit 8 comfortably with large storage areas under the bed. Out the door is the common wash area, more than ample with rows of numerous shower/toilet stalls. Each shower stall has a commode and towel racks and the stall locks for your privacy. Like I mentioned earlier, the interior spaces are surprisingly large, and shout-outs to the owner/designer to make this into a large-living budget hostel. The other plusses were the beddings. Nothing felt "hostel" here but more like a 3 or 4 star hotel. Dare I say the smooth white sheets are made of thousand count Egyptian cotton? Two firm yet fluffy pillows are complemented by an equally fluffy comforter that would soothe the tired traveler after a walk around town. The mattresses are top notch too. In short the owners did not skimp on the rooms to ensure travellers will be well rested. We shall return!

Room size is alright for 2 persons. My room has no window and we had to ask for toiletries. Nearby to the Sentral bus terminal, Tesco and Aeon. Eateries around the hotel too. May need a car to move around.

Value for money

Second time back at the hostel, this round with friends and this hostel is the best for value + amenities. Affordable rates + affordable beer + near to the Stadhuys and Riverside were one of the best parts of staying here.
