A very good value place to stay right on the river with great views from the terrace and good sized rooms. The more expensive double was large and comfortable and nicely decorated.

The upstairs patio on the river is a great place for tea and coffee in the morning, and there are always snacks and fruit available in the kitchen. I shared no common languages with the Chinese housekeeper, but she was always eager to offer advice and provide tourist info.

As a middle aged couple with grown up kids we were keen to try a different experience and decided on the River View. First impressions were set by the fantastically helpful owner Raymond who gave us a... More

Read all the good reviews and is getting excited to go see for myself. I could not find the Guest House website. Does anybody have the email contact for the River View Guest House in Malacca, Malaysia? Hope to book with them during my trip in September 2013.
