Amazing place

This place was really amazing ! It is pretty, super clean, modern, big. And the perfect location by the river, the view in the lobby was exceptional. Victor was a super host and always available to give us information and to guide us even if we haven't met him in person. Fully recommend this place !

Something different than the usual hotel

Friendly staff who helped us with the laundry (with 20RM). Property is close to the river and walking distance to the jonker street . Room is clean and modern designed . Facility has filtered water .This is a family owned service apartment, it feels very warm . Thanks Mr Tse and victor :)

Please note that this apartment has only 1 toilet . Which is not convenient if you have a bigger party of people . I will definitely choose a bigger room next time .(same property)

A fabulous place that will seduce anyone who chooses to stay there to want to return.

Location location location

No elevator. No fan on the almost entirely enclosed terrace. A floor fan would have been welcome. The living room air con unit was noisy at night for me personally so I had to turn it off but only after everyone else had gone to bed. It was not apparent at first that it was the cause of the high pitched whine. A lot of electrical switches in the unit to try to figure out too.

Fantastic location with fantastic view for photography!

I stayed one night with family on Wed, it was peaceful & quite. The full glass wall of this building is a stand alone unique design that I can't find in anywhere else in Melaka jonker. The river view looking out from this building is FIVE STAR and worth everything I paid. The apartment design is modern, toilet is clean, aircond is cold. The unit we stayed in was equipped with everything we need (*especially the drinking water dispenser) overall it's an Excellent experience.

No regrets! I will definitely book again when i come back!

What won me over was the price when i was browsing. I didn’t regret at all! It was great the view was mesmerising! Right Next to the river.

So far all good. Just my parents were not very pleased with the flight of stairs as our room was located on the highest floor

Beautiful hidden gem with superb location, well equipped, clean & comfortable. Love it!

Truly a hidden gem. The location is superb, located just by the riverside. We took the unit on the highest floor with beautiful view from its balcony. If you have concern walking up the stairs with luggage or for older guests, please note that there's no lift. Walking distance to Jonker Street and many restaurants and bars around it. Property is beautiful, comfortable, well equipped and clean. Unlimited supply of mineral water which is definitely a plus point. Parking is provided but need to walk a short distance, no issue for us. Owner was really kind to drop off some nonya kuih on the last day to go with the coffee & tea provided in the kitchen. Clear instructions to parking, check-in and check-out. Will definitely recommend to friends.

Best homestay

It was seamless from checking in to checking out. Clear instructions were furnished by the host day prior. Property was clean, apartment was bright and location was convenient with an excellent view of Melaka River. A great homestay feel.

As the apartment was at the highest level, it was hot - it would have been good to have a ceiling fan or standing fans in the to cool the living area before the aircon coolness kicked in.

Amazing homestay, the best I've had ever.

Beautiful decorations, location is great, 10-15 mins walk to jonkers Street/a famosa. Comfortable arrangement for a family of 1 couple plus 2 kids and elderly mother. Love the fact that the owner allocates a big hallway area for shoes so all guests arent wearing shoes in the apartments. Very lovely owner too, who gave us some nice kuih for free, I think it's a lovely gesture

The parking is a short walk away but area is a bit rundown but the fact that there's designated free parking in such a central location, we can't really complain so all is good!

Nice stay

The location was great, just a few minutes walk from Jonker street and only a bridge away from a nice small bar area. The scenery around the house was good as well and the house was clean and looked stylish.

It was a bit noisy and you could hear everything that happend outside

Heavenly Riverside Nook

Oh my how do I start... I love love love everything about this place. I previously stayed at 1852 and I wondered what this building next door was. Can't believe my luck I managed to stay here this time around. Units are limited btw. It's a self check in so please inform owner 30 minutes before eta. They will give you a complete instruction on where to park etc. If you are not driving, just ask the driver to drop you off, near the Jambatan Kg Jawa or else you need to walk quite a distance with luggage (if you have any) from the designated car park. It's a one way road so please be quick. The unit is spacious, as it can accommodate 6 adults complete with all the amenities mentioned. Some review mentioned about the mosquitoes... Surprisingly they're not the biting type or they simply don't bite us. Don't worry, the host did provide mosquitoes repellent at every corner of the unit. It is situated just next to the Melaka River... So the view was indeed something... Simply love the scenery early in the morning and at night. You can definitely hear the sound of the river cruise up until 11 if you are staying at the lower level. But honestly... it didn't bother me. Most of the time we are already fast asleep or already on our way out to enjoy daily walk in Melaka. It is within walking distance to Jonker, Stadthuys and Melaka River Cruise. Cafes are abundance. This is the best choice in term of location, pricing and if you are travelling in big pax. Plus point, Victor the host graciously belanja us nyonya kuih for breakfast. Thank you so much Victor. If I ever come to Melaka, I will surely stay here again

This is a hidden gem, really. An excellent "hideout" if I may say. We got the top floor, which was nice, meant to be a family suite with 2 bedrooms. Love the high ceiling and it's pretty quiet. Furnished with enough amenities, there is even a proper 3M water filter located at the sink, for literally "unlimited" water supply. The toilet is nicely furnished and the host even provides shampoo and bath foam. Excellent. Rooms are quiet, and sheets are clean.

Parking - could have been better. Not the Host's fault. It's just where it is located. It's a pretty cramped street being next to the river and all. Parking was in an adjacent building & we had to lug our luggage, even when in the rain. Also the parking - really not suitable unless you're driving a Perodua Ativa or small car....
