Best Hotels near Covenant Baptist Church, Melaka

This is a very new hotel which started their business in March 2023. Wanted to try on the first day of opening but due to some reason, it was delayed till now. It’s a first Marriott hotel in Melaka, so I do have very high expectations from them. As a Marriott platinum elite member, I’ve stayed in many hotel under Marriott organisation. Upon reaching the hotel with grab car, the staff came up to me immediately and lead me to the check in counter, the lobby are huge, and I can still smell that the hotel are still so new. Not much of the guest in the lobby area, it’s a Monday so I guess it’s normal. No suite room upgrade and no complimentary breakfast for a platinum member, although I was upgraded to a strait view room which I appreciated it. It can see a tiny bit of the sea. Apart from that, I guess the room size and amenity are the same. The check in staff told me that the suite room was full… I mean.. it’s a Monday.. and I literally still can see the suite room was available in the Bonvoy app. As I’ve mentioned, I’ve been to many hotel under Marriott organisation. I don’t always get upgraded to a suite room, but it was okay, I do understand all these are subjected to individual hotel policy and it’s all a good will. But I guess the staff could just tell me that the hotel are still new, the suite room are limited and it’s reserved for paying guest. I would totally understand that. But I don’t think it’s wise to you know, use a default replied as member like us, we check on the app. For me, if there’s no available suite room, I wouldn’t even ask for an upgrade. Secondly, there’s no complimentary breakfast, I paid RM70 for the 2 day breakfast. I’ve stayed in a few courtyard hotel, this was the first one that I’ve paid for breakfast, there might be other courtyard that don’t provide complimentary breakfast for guest with elite status, maybe I didn’t stay much enough to see it all. I’ve stayed with hotel that told me that their facility actually don’t offer complimentary breakfast for elite member, but they will just give it to me as a good will on top of my welcome gift. Just a little suggestion, like maybe let the counter staff to decide, if they could slip in some complimentary breakfast to guest with elite status or even guest that potentially come back again. I’m not complaining here, just some of my suggestions. The room are new, nice and spacious, very clean. Nice TV channel selection, view was great. Bed are firm to the level that I like, they offer pillow menu as well. Had very good sleep for the 2 night. Breakfast was very basic. There’s a very annoying flies flying around my table.. how did it come into the hotel, lol. Gym are small but there should be everything you need. The infinity pool are great! Very good view and very Instagrammable. Please visit the pool when you are here. The staff and friendly and nice. Would come back again to the hotel when I’m back in Melaka.

It was a pleasant experience. The check-in and check-out processes were smooth. True to their name, the Perfect Host staff guided us to our room and demonstrated how to use the digital door lock. He's really kind. The room was spacious, clean, and well-equipped with a hairdryer, iron, fresh mattress, and towels, and the shower gel smells nice. However, it would be nice if they provided shower cap. (You can roll down/up the curtain of the shower area, as the wall of shower area linked to bedroom is made of glass) Convenience is a big plus, with a mamak and nasi ayam restaurant (鸡粒饭)just downstairs (it's lucky for us to see one of the beautiful MYfm DJ having her foodie program if not mistaken taken during breakfast at the restaurant). Several malls, including Mahkota Parade, Dataran Pahlawan Megamall, and Hatten Square, are within walking distance. You can easily grab a ride to Jonker Street at night or simply enjoy a 15-min walk from the hotel. The area is breezy in the evenings, and there are a few massage centers nearby. The highlight of my stay was the rooftop swimming pool – with the nice view, I really enjoyed it. Overall I had a great time, and would recommend this hotel to everyone for a staycation.

They are not lying when they said unlimited breakfast buffet from 7am till 12pm. This is the most great thing about this hotel. Their view is beautiful. Like others mentioned, we can see melaka river cruise at night from the balcony. Other than that, facilities in children a bit wear out already. However we did enjoy the pool because it’s quite big. The adult pool have infinity view but slightly poor in cleanliness.

”I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Shore Hotel and Residences in Malacca for a night, and I must say it was an exceptional experience. From the moment I stepped into the beautifully designed lobby, I was impressed by the hotel's modern amenities and warm hospitality. The room was spacious and comfortable, with a stunning view of the Malacca Strait. The staff were attentive and helpful, and the breakfast spread was delicious and varied. The location is also convenient, within walking distance to many of Malacca's historic attractions. Overall, I would highly recommend the Shore Hotel and Residences to anyone looking for a comfortable and enjoyable stay in Malacca.”

I spent a night here after my talk in a nearby hospital. It is located at the business area of Ayer Keroh, which on the contrary, is not very busy. As it is one of the tallest building around, finding the hotel is not difficult. As the title suggest, it is a basic no frills hotel. The lobby is small and well lit. The room is clean and functional. It was well worth for the price. The issue is since it is fairly cheap, the hotel seems to be choice of the rowdy Mainland Chinese tourists. The breakfast was where they displayed their disorderliness.

The hotel from the exterior looked really grand. The room was quite big in size and the hotel reception staff were nice enough. We (husband, two teenage children and I) arrived an hour early and were directed to the note that they didn’t have early check-ins. The doorman was nice and gave us an umbrella as it was raining when we were going out. However, the bathroom was not very clean with rotting shower screen because of most likely poor cleaning. The towels in the bathroom were supposed to be white but were brown in colour and stained. Unfortunately, we had to use these as there was no other option, felt unclean after shower. The corridor had a musty odour which was overpowering. Stayed two nights and had put up a door sign to have the room cleaned but no one came around and we were out all day. Bottled water was given on the first day but not on the subsequent day. I’m glad we only stayed two nights as couldn’t have tolerated the place for any longer.

received a free upgrade to deluxe room as we have waited too long to check in. the room was both comfortable and newly furnished, ensuring a pleasant stay. Despite encountering an issue with the TV, which couldn't be resolved, I still managed to enjoy a peaceful night's sleep. Breakfast was good but could have been more variety in the options offered. Currently, only one restaurant is open. overall, we left feeling content with our stay, appreciating the efforts made by the hotel staff to accommodate guests and ensure a pleasant experience.

Clean room but this time the floor feels sticky and some area still wet. Probably the housekeeping didn’t ensure the floor dry before close the room door. My family like it here because of space & comfortable room they provided so not stuffy. Wardrobe, table, sofabed, kitchen space and kettle provided are bonus especially for families travel. Keep improving the service.

Very practical location within walking distance to many attractions and Jonker Walk. 7-11 right next door with a few food outlets and the crazy cheap price is a great reason to stay here. The buffet breakfast is good for the price. I had tater tots. Love it. Only gripe, the water pressure in my room is pretty low.
