As I stayed there, I could say that the place was fit for me as a solo backpack. I stayed in 4-female dorm room. It's walk-able to the famous places in Malacca. Warm welcome and clean room were the highlight of my staying here.

The staff was friendly and helpful. The location is great as it's walking distance from most of the places we wanted to go. The only issue was that there wasn't running water most times in the toilet on our floor. It made it a bit hard for hygiene routines. Overall, a good place for short stays.

Location is the only good thing. But overall room, bed sheet, pillow, everything was very dirty. Cabinets unclean and had remnants from other guests, and mosquitoes as well. For this range, much better budget options are available. Didn't get what was advertised and even as a budget option, it falls short.

The location is okay. Easy to get everywhere. Close to the Melaka River Cruise. The room was decent, but there was no window. Even though there was a fan, it was still hot. The problem was the water in the bathroom. There was a little, but then it stopped flowing. I thought it was just the afternoon when I checked in. But it didn't flow until that evening and the next morning. Oops. It was hot, even though there was a fan. There was no water in the bathrooms on all floors.

The location is very strategic, not far from popular tourist attractions. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Yesterday, we booked a dorm for 8 people, but we only had 6. The room was quite neat and clean, cool with air conditioning and a fan. The toilet and bathroom were quite clean and adequate. There was a washing machine and kitchen facilities. The downsides were the stairs, and the reception area was separate from the rooms. The reception area was extremely deplorable: dirty, dusty, messy, disheveled, and scary. Plus, there were pets roaming around. But overall, it was very good, and I highly recommend staying here.
