Very clean and new hostel. Room was large, with window, good air conditioning and very clean. Big locker. Bed was large, lots of light, clean, good mattress, curtain, clean and large sheets. The bathroom is small and everything gets wet when showering, but it is very clean and completely new. Water pressure is perfect and hot water. Lounge is large, good kitchen, fridge and air conditioning. Check in was super easy. Staff were nice and always available via message. Since it's new, there wasn't much going on. It will definitely be a nice and lively place when more people come. What is missing: A shelf in the bed where you can put your cell phone while charging. Everything is lying around in the bed. The walls are a bit "bare". A few pictures would be great and would make it even more homely. Please install a switch to open the door. I had to short-circuit two cables to get the door to open. I felt a bit like a burglar.😅

We really enjoyed our stay here. The location was perfect—only a 5-10 minute walk to Jonker Street and Dutch Square and just around the corner from some nice restaurants. Wi-fi worked perfectly, the accommodation was super clean, and the communication was easy between the owner/manager. There are also hot water showers and filtered water, which are much appreciated! We didn't need it, but a kitchenette is available for use and a small, nice communal area with a table and couch.

The service was excellent. The reception staff were very friendly and helpful. My friend accidentally left her bag, with her wallet inside, at the hotel, and the staff called us immediately before we left Malacca to let us know. The room’s air conditioning was also very strong. You also get a free welcome drink from the hostel restaurant, which has a great vibe—almost like something out of the Disney movie “Coco”.

All hostels in Melaka

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

Good vibe in the lobby with people greeting me, offering snacks, etc. Comfy, spacious sleeping pod and secure locker provided. I was stranded at the hostel by the weather after checking out and the staff helped me try to get a taxi (very busy with chinese new year) and made me feel really welcome to hang out there until the storm had passed. Great location too- I felt safe walking home late at night alone.
