Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Distance from key sights — The hotel is about 2 km from Malacca River, meaning you’ll need transport or a longer walk to reach the main tourist area.
  • Modest room ratings — While the staff and service score well, the rooms themselves rate 7.6, suggesting a basic standard that may not impress those seeking more comfort.
  • No pets allowed — The hotel does not permit pets, which could be a drawback for travellers with animals.
