3-Star Hotels in Melaka

The room was clean and tidy when I entered. The space is small if you bring 2 cabin size luggage because there is limited space to open. The service is good as early check in is possible if the room is ready. I reached early and waited at the hotel lobby area. Then I also borrowed a board game (congkak) from the front desk. Breakfast provided are breads, eggs, cereal and oranges. Good for a light breakfast. I would consider staying again because the location is very near to the jonker street. It is very convenient for tourists without a car.

It feels a bit like a hostel, but the hygiene is good, and you have to take off your shoes when you enter. There's a very cute and friendly cat. On the first night, there was no hot water, but it was resolved after I reported it. The concept of Swallow's Nest is environmental protection and energy saving, so sometimes it feels inconvenient, but on second thought, it's not bad. The room is quite small, and the bathroom design is extremely compact. Since they don't provide breakfast, the hotel offers free instant noodles and coffee packets. The lobby on the first floor feels like a living room at home. It's very comfortable to sit and chat with a cup of Milo before bed.

This was my first time staying at this hotel, and it was really good. First off, it's very close to the Dutch Square (Red Square) and Jonker Street, just a 5-minute walk away. The biggest mall in the area is also only a 10-minute walk. Malaysian hotels usually don't provide toothbrushes and toothpaste, but this one did. What touched me the most was on my last day; I needed a taxi to the long-distance bus station early in the morning, and the owner specially came to the hotel early to call a taxi for me. A truly wonderful person!

We stayed at the RC Hotel in Malacca for 3 consecutive nights. We booked a deluxe twin room with a window. Upon check-in at the front desk, we had to pay a RM100 cash deposit. We also paid a heritage tax of RM9. The hotel's location is super convenient! We took the M100 bus from Malacca Sentral Station, which cost RM1 per person, for 4 stops to the Ibis Hotel station, then walked about 400 meters to reach the hotel. Within 1km of the hotel, you can walk to Jonker Street, the Stadthuys (Dutch Square), St. Paul's Church, Cheng Hoon Teng Temple, and the Zheng He Memorial Museum, among other famous attractions. There are also many delicious tea houses and Nyonya restaurants nearby. A taxi to the Malacca Straits Mosque takes about 15 minutes one way and costs approximately RM10. The front desk staff were friendly and arranged for us to stay in room 112. The window overlooked a street, and the room was spacious and well-equipped. We didn't need a converter plug for our domestic mobile phones, as they could be charged directly. The bedding was soft and comfortable, the air conditioning worked well, and there was a mini-fridge and a kettle. Complimentary toothbrushes, toothpaste, bath towels, razors, cotton swabs, slippers, toilet paper, shower gel, and instant coffee/tea bags were provided. The bathroom was wet/dry separated, and the room had a drying rack and hangers. The downside was that there were some ants in the room. Additionally, on the third day of our stay, no staff came to clean the room until 5:30 PM. We informed the front desk to arrange cleaning as soon as possible when we went out for dinner. When we returned, it was indeed cleaned, but strangely, our own blue bear-patterned towel and our own mouthwash cup, which we had been using fine for the past two days and left in the bathroom, were gone. Also, they didn't replenish disposable toothbrushes, toothpaste, cotton swabs, etc. Since we were checking out the next morning to go to Kuala Lumpur, and these were minor issues, we didn't bother to communicate with the front desk again. We hope the hotel pays more attention to detail and standardizes its cleaning procedures. Such behavior of arbitrarily discarding guests' personal belongings is truly baffling. For a trip to Malacca, I highly recommend staying at least two nights to slow down and enjoy the unique charm of this small city. Every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday evening, Jonker Street has bustling street markets and various small performances. A leisurely stroll along the Malacca River in the quiet morning and evening hours is truly delightful. At the crossroads near Malacca Pay Fong Middle School, there is a large durian stall offering various Black Thorn durians from RM18 to RM48 per kg, as well as Langsat fruit for RM6 per kg, which is also very delicious. We had a wonderful and unforgettable time here and hope to visit Malacca again if we have the chance.

The breakfast was good, with a nice variety of food and a spacious dining area. However, there were quite a lot of hairs on the carpet in the room, which was not very pleasant. The carpet should be vacuumed properly before each new guest checks in. Only two small bottles of shower gel were provided, which was not enough. I asked the receptionist for more, but was told there was no extra shower gel available and was only given shampoo instead. One of the towels was also torn. The water flow was quite slow, and the mattress felt a little too hard. Overall, the breakfast was good, but the room cleanliness, amenities, and comfort could be improved.

I had some issues with my luggage and the hotel staff were incredibly helpful and quick, even though it was past midnight. The room was very spacious, beautiful, and the price was very affordable.

The staff is super super friendly and attentive to us when there is an issue. The room is quite spacious for 2 pax and also clean however we didnt turned on the tv as we spent most of the time outside which is super convinient near to jonker street/walk. We went back and forth few times because we forgot to spray on sunscreen. But overall, i will definitely book again as it is really super super convenient. Oh! And not to mention about the gelato downstairs at the lobby too!!

a great budget hotel find for anyone looking for a comfortable stay without breaking the bank. the room was really cozy. got upgraded for a bigger room for f.o.c and it came fully equipped with a tv, iron and kettle nor mineral water. as a muslim travelers, they also provide a clear qibla direction sticker. the aircond was superb too, really cold and perfect for a good night's sleep. the bathroom was the best part, it was clean and the water pressure was really strong which makes showering so refreshing plus most importantly, it has a bidet hose, which is a huge plus. the elevators are okay so no long waits. the staff are very friendly and welcoming also theres plenty of parking space, not to worry about finding a spot for parking. hotel location very strategic & located in the middle a city & convenience store for restaurants, i have to walk a little bit, but it’s a manageable distance. one minor downside, the room soundproofing isnt the best, i can occasionally hear noise from the hallway or outside the room. if youre a light sleeper, you might want to take note of that. overall i highly recommended for those who want comfort on a budget

Actually, I was extremely satisfied from the start, thinking I wouldn't need to look for another hotel next time. There was no unpleasant smell when I opened the door, and everything was very clean except for a few gecko droppings. The bed was so new it was still in its packaging! Most importantly, it was very convenient as it was close to all the places I needed to go. However, when I got back in the early morning and needed to wash up, there was no hot water and no hairdryer. I took a cold shower, and my hair was still wet, so I couldn't sleep. My whole mood was ruined. I didn't receive a reply to the owner's message, perhaps because it was too late. I hope this can be improved; otherwise, even with a better environment, I won't come back.

A very nice place
