Hotels near Nirvana Melaka Memorial Park 富贵山荘 马六甲, Alor Gajah

This is not my first time staying at Ames Hotel, it's my third time, and it will be the last!! I travel for business almost every week, both within Malaysia and abroad. I have stayed in dozens of hotels, as you can see from my record on the Agoda website, but this has been the worst stay ever!!! I arrived at midnight, and no staff assisted with my luggage. There was a male staff in a black shirt who just walked past me at my car without offering any help, and there was also a pregnant woman (a customer) who just got out of her car to check in, and no one helped her either. The night manager, named FARED, assisted with my check-in. I requested a late check-out at 3 PM because I had an event under my company at the Ames Hotel as well, but the next morning, he informed me that I had to check out at 2 PM. I complied even though I had told Mr. FARED the night before about the late check-out at 3 PM. However, when I was having breakfast at the Merchant Lounge, a manager named JOSEPH told me that I had to check out by 1 PM, even though FARED had confirmed with me the night before that I could check out by 2 PM. I find this completely unacceptable. JOSEPH also mentioned that my room was upgraded for free, even though I paid extra for the suite—it was not free. I found this extremely rude and unprofessional because he did not check my room details before speaking with me. He made it seem like I received a complimentary upgrade and was not entitled to the service I deserved. This is extremely disrespectful, and this is my honest review of Ames Hotel Melaka. Thank you to the lounge staff named DILA for calming my wife and me and providing good hospitality service.

Very near to Pantai Hospital, Melaka, just across the road. It's standard room comes with a double bed and a single bed. For solo traveler like me, I feel it's a bit pricey because I am paying for a 3 persons room instead of for a single person room. The staff are friendly and helpful. Not many eateries around. The ones nearby are Kings' Cafe and another restaurant nearby serving Western, Chinese and local food which is a bit pricey. Ironically, the most economic place to have meal is at Fresh Cafe by Pantai which is inside Pantai Hospital. The ala carte meal consists of rice, a main dish of chicken or fish and a vegetable is set at RM6.00. The dishes are quite tasty. They also have meal to order like fried rice, fried noodles, etc. Price wise also not so pricey and the portions are big. As for the hotel, location wise, if you don't have a car, you have to use Grab service or public transports to go places. Not far from Aeon and Mydin hypermarkets. Very convenient for those from outstation who are visiting patients at Pantai Hospital.

The villa is new and clean, large and has many rooms. It sings karaoke very new. The water quality of the swimming pool is also good. BBQ can be ordered. The housekeeper is also very considerate and the service is first-class!

The hotel is in a convenient location, but parking is quite troublesome. The room is managed separately from the hotel, requiring us to park in an opposite lot, which is about a 10-minute drive to the highest floor. Unfortunately, the room was not clean. The toilet also needed attention, and there was a persistent odor reminiscent of dampness that we couldn't eliminate, even after purchasing a freshener. Additionally, there were stains on the walls and throughout the room. I provided feedback to the management, but it appears my message went unnoticed. On a positive note, the room does offer a great view of the river and the city and the bed is very comfortable.

Location wise is good, many restaurant nearby within walking distance; ample of parking behind the hotel too, they do provide coffee for free even milo or white coffee refillable! The room are clean but bed are way too springy, pillow are too soft & shallow can’t support our head. There was a power db in my room making frustrating noise whole entire night, these low frequency noise really drive me crazy. I even need to switch the whole power off to silence it, bathroom are way too narrow, dimmed and lamp r blinking. Sound proof pretty bad especially nearby the road. Overall ok, but won’t be bk anymore

Where do I begin with this hotel…?! Booked for 3 nights via Expedia because the hotel’s reservation page kept declining my credit card but still charging it - will sort this out later. Check-in: was told I had to pay a RM50 deposit in cash when I checked in. My hotel was prepaid online but I have no issue with the deposit, except they wouldn’t take credit cards for the deposit as they apparently cannot issue deposit refunds via credit card. I guess they haven’t learned about placing authorizations on cards and reversing the charges. They have Touch n’Go e-wallet stickers at reception but also wouldn’t allow me to pay the deposit via TnG. Fortunately I had some cash on me or I would have had to go find an ATM to withdraw money. Arguing with the receptionist is pointless since they’re merely enforcing stupid and nonsensical policies by management. Room: basic but acceptable. The remote controls for the air conditioning and tv were given at check-in. I guess the management is highly suspicious of guests and will not leave them in the room. Hot water in the shower was lukewarm at best and water pressure so-so. TV channels have zero channels in English. Guess English-speakers aren’t their intended clientele. Housekeeping does not automatically make up rooms. I was out the whole day and when I came back around 645pm, realised that the room was not made up. By then I had decided to move hotels and forego remaining 2 nights after the first night. At checkout when I told the receptionist about the unmade room, I was told that I had to call housekeeping to clean the room. What kind of half-baked, cheapskate dump has such a ridiculous policy!? I was told that apparently some guests don’t allow housekeeping in and so they just decided to not clean until asked. Amazingly every other respectable hotel in the world has a better solution to this - come back later!! Funnily this ridiculous policy is also not communicated at check-in. I didn’t expect an offer of refund for checking out early. Any hotel whose management is such a skinflint that they wouldn’t even provide daily housekeeping or keep the remotes in the room can hardly be expected to engage in customer service. Oh as a bonus, I saw an ironing board in the corridor. They wouldn’t provide ironing boards in the room of course. The pictures say more than I can. Verdict: never coming back here again if I can help it. Overpriced and does not deserve 3 star rating.

The boss is very nice and can speak Chinese and recommends a lot of delicious food. The room is also good. The sea view room has a beautiful view and you can see the Strait of Malacca. I will book it next time.

The place is great for family. It’s slightly off the city but quiet and cozy. With sea view is the best. Parking is available if you’re driving. The swimming pool is great and there’s a convenient store available as well. The rooms are clean and comfortable, spacious as well. I booked an appointment with 2 rooms. There’s a living room with dinning place and a small kitchen. There’s also a service yard with washing machine.

Though it is basic, it is complete with ac, hot water shower, tv, free wifi etc Near to many restaurants including 24hr restaurant around the corner, small park to exercise ,supermarket etc. Nice mountain view nearby. No breakfast provided because it is a budget hotel. No lift, only 2 floors. MYR85 walk in. If anybody interested, I,ve booked a standard room on 29th sept, , wrong date for me, with special price
