- Aida (8/5): Even though the room is small in size, but it is okay for a night stay and to rest - Very accessible and easy to move around near the town area Room is slightly small, but it is okay
- WChoy (6/5): - The location of the hotel was very strategic being close to tourist attractions. The room and bathroom is a little small.
- Hup Guan (4/5): - At midnight the other guests talked loudly, ran in the corridor even press my room doorbell. Totally harassment
- Lee (7/5): -
- Ismail (7/5): - Dekat dgn tempat tumpuan Di Bandar hilir. Tiada
- Razif (8/5): Worth it - Location, easy to checknin, staff is helpful Too small , lobby interior. No refrigerator for all room
- Choon Lee, Wendy (7/5): Pleasant staff and good service. - The location is ideal to Mahkota Parade, Palawan Megamall and Jonker Street.
The rooms are clean but a bit too small. Hotel could provide a more complete set of basic toiletries such as shampoo, face/hand towels and tissue box. However, due to the constant traffic jam along that stretch, it was difficult to get Grab service.
The rooms are not really sound proof and we could hear the activities around the hotel till quite late into the night.

- Dalila (10/5): Will stay here again for vacay in malacca for sure - The location is strategic. Walking distance to every attractions. Easy access to all transports. Near with Jonker Walk, basically everything is walking distance. It would be nice if it have breakfast, lunch and dinner in house provided :)
But, Everything is clean, staff is friendly. this is the 2nd time i stayed here. i like everything that this hotel have to offer
- Gazali Bin Ahmad (6/5): -
- Norisah (8/5): best hotel location - near to many interesting places to visit like uptown, beca, historical building, mall etc contact number is unvalid because the hotel is hiding to another building.parking sign should be upgrade so that custumor easy to find the parking lot
- Affan A. (3/5): Not a worthy explored hotel. - The location wise, the smooth check in. 1. The front staff (male) was practically on the phone when we were checking in. Rude.
2. The duvet and bed were dirty with questionable red spots, everywhere. It was terrible.
3. Wifi not provided in room. Albeit smart tv supposedly using wifi
4. Too noisy at night with karaoke. The room could use some sound proof surfaces.
5. Instead of two night, we only went for one night. (Two rooms)
