I loved this hotel because it is strategically situated in the city centre. It is right behind Equatorial hotel and it is within walking distance to the new Dataran Pahlawan mall. You can get to Jonker Walk easily from this hotel too. In fact you can get to all the places of interest in Melaka by foot (if you're the... more

We booked this hotel because there were no other rooms left. Claimed to be the first Batik boutique hotel - and maybe even the last. The Hotel is inconveniently located behind Equatorial Hotel, which is another giant architectural mishap.

We arrived at Melaka Straits when a group was having a function, so parking was difficult, we had to go around since the road just outside the hotel is a one way street, in the end after making... more

I booked two of the special "suites" -- so named because they have jacuzzi tubs. Although descriptions of the hotel portrayed a "charming boutique with traditional Malaysian style", it looked very shabby from the outside. The first problem we encountered was that when we arrived at 3 pm, one of our rooms was not ready. (They said they were short... more
