The Baba House was not difficult to locate if you drive and just a stone throw from Jonker Street. Parking is at the rear of the hotel with security at night. The service standards were decent but don't expect a concierge service. No offer of assistance with the baggage. The interior of the hotel did not look as good as... more

I spent a night at The Baba House on Saturday. When I first reached the hotel, I couldn't find where the parking is. Only later I was told that the parking is at the back of the hotel, which needed me to drive further down the road and turned into the back alley. The hotel was located less than 50m... more

My friends and I stayed at the Baba House in Oct 2009. The hotel is in a old, heritage building, and the lobby preserved the peranakan elements such as the furniture and deco.. really adds to the charm of the place. There are only a handful of the standard rooms and they are all located in what seems like the... more

Booked a twin deluxe room. Basic deco. Clean but very stuffy. Can't really adjust aircon. Hot shower not working. Hairdryer not provided for rooms in the old wing. Feel more like a standard room. The Baba deco is mainly prominent at the reception and the garden area. Breakfast was ok but not enough tables. 15 minutes past 8am, the little... more

I had been staying at this hotel from 26-27 Sep. The location of the hotel was really great, just a walking distance to Jonker Walk and those tourist attraction.

I wanted to book a hotel room that is big enough for a day for the use of my wedding photography in Melaka so I called to ask about the standard single room costing RM51.30++ if a dressing table was available. The sales person told me there are no dressing table in that price range unless I go for the... more

The baba house was not as bad as i read from the reviews, instead it turns out to be a nice and comfortable stay while i was in Malacca. The room was clean, however the bathroom was a bit too small. The hotel was very spacious and not as small as i thought, there are lots of " baba and... more

We drove to Malacca and printed out the carpark map from the website. Even with the map, we got lost finding the carpark and called the hotel. However, the staff could not provide directions to their own carpark or even the road name of their carpark as it is behind the hotel. Eventually we found it based on a lot... more

The hotel is full of Pernarakan flavour even right down to the basin of the room. The lobby has much Pernarakan funiture and design. I read many poor reviews but it is really not as bad as it seems. The staff were friendly albeit slower in checking in and out. I requested for extra pillows and it came quite fast.... more
