This place was wonderful, perfect location for exploring Melaka. The hosts were so hospitable with advise on where to go to, what to see ad some of the best restaurant suggestions. River view is a very relaxed place which backs onto the river and feels like a home away from home with plenty of space to relax and a perfect... more

We extended our stay here for a couple more nights as we enjoyed it here so much. The guesthouse was a former shop/warehouse and is in the historic Chinatown. You can walk right out onto the sidewalk along the river and stroll into the main part of town. Our room was very large and had a/c and a fan. We... more

Stayed in twin room as doubles booked -twin beds each big enough for two, feather pillows, ceiling fan worked a treat -walls so thick not much heat gets in anyway. A refuge to come back to after a hard days exploring. Hosts -agree with all other comments. Other guests great , security excellent -beautiful location and lovely atmosphere -has to... more

We definitly recommand this place to anyone who wants to visit this beautifull city and have... more

Happy to endorse the other great reviews. Stunning little place with lovely owners. Arrived mid afternoon to be welcomed with a cold drink and a complete guide to Melaka. Mani and Raymond took the whole house out for a meal at the wonderful Capitol Satay on our second night. This is a hostel - shared bathrooms are a little compact,... more

Atmosphere was calm and quiet, and can be a balm to the soul. Nevertheless, I was not there for the balm; I was there for fun, and found much help and advice... more

We arrived as walkins for 1 night only and was greet by Raymond and Mani and shown the last room they had available - Raymond was so upfront, he said he usually didn't sell the room as it was the only one right on the street and there was noise from the cars (it's really more a lane then a... more

The riverview was amazing value. The room while small were clean and comfy. The single beds we had were quite large and the nights were quiet, being on a side road from the weekend night market. The best part of the guest house however is its owners Mani and Raymond. They sit down with you and go in detail about... more

I went there with my friend, with the intention to look around Malacca after a long while of no travelling... Found this place recommended by my friend. The thought of staying in a guest house was one that would never come to my mind but staying here changed it all. The hosts, Mani and Raymond, were friendly, providing as much... more
