Aava Malacca Hotel

Beautiful heritage hotel on the river with large rooms, helpful staff & good breakfast. Advantage room only had internal shuttered window onto original courtyard/lobby which was no problem except it wasn’t dark at night, so hard to sleep. Lovely little infinity pool but shame there was no chairs of any kind to enjoy sitting out in evening. Would return again though 😘

Pros Few minutes walk from Jonker street and many major sightseeing spots. Lovely peranakan decorations. Comfortable bed. Good in-room coffee. Very helpful staff. Cons Street view room little noisy starting around 6am. In room electricity power cut off frequently but it backs again in a minute or so.

Everything were of working distance especially to Jonker Walk. The hotel was surprisingly baba nyonya beautiful architecture and looks better in real life. Kudos to the staff, Sri, for been helpful, resourseful and friendly.

I have been to many boutique hotel in Melaka and this one is so far on top of my list as it is very cozy, felt at home, clean and well maintain, friendly staff, great location next to the river behind and few min walk to Jonker street avoiding the busy section.

Interior: The peranakan interior of the hotel is picturesque and is instagram worthy. Room: The bed is so comfortable and spacious. We took the double bed. There is enough space to put your luggage, safety deposit box etc. There is a window but there no view, however the infinity pool is on the same level and is really picturesque as it is overlooking the river. Water pressure is excellent and the provided soap etc is of excellent quality. You'll need to bring or borrow a compatible adapter at the reception as the socket are type G. Parking: Best to confirm with the hotel. There is a vacant lot after the building. Breakfast: I guess there is room for improvement for the breakfast being served. We only stayed for 2 night and the options are the same menu. The food is of excellent quality. I love the chicken, sausage, scarmbled egg and fruits. It's not a deal breaker. Staff: Excellent staff. They are very helpful and courteous. Sri and the other guy are courteous and very helpful

We booked this hotel with a queen size and at the end we got 2 tiny tiny twin beds, I don’t know why Agoda is not keeping its word while you book for something and then when you get to the hotels, they are slightly different than what you requested for. Disappointing!

Had a very pleasant stay with a group of friends - the room was well equipped, clean, beds were comfy - the only thing is that not all rooms come with a window but at this price, it wasn't something to complain about. There's even a cute pool overlooking the river. Location wise, it's great. It's near enough to the attractions and you can get to the main Jonker walking street in under 10 mins, but far away enough so it's not too noisy. Would definitely return. The receptionist was also very friendly and efficient with service levels exceeding those of the city even!

Fabulous old chinês property full refurbished in a good state of conservation. Fabulous decoration. Location very good. Front desk staff, specially Sari, was of an extreme help alwYs giving help and the best advise. Information transmitted very clear. I will return to this boutiques &chique Chinese decor and recommend this hotel for everyone. Keep going !!!!

This hotel might not be a 5 star Ramada Inn, but its super value for money. Budget but clean and the staff is great. Any issue we had they solved immediately. The hotel is 2 blocks off of Jonker Walk and by the river,, so you choose to walk and dine along the river, or take the quick walk down to Jonker Street. Its even close to the less touristy Jonker Hawker Stall which has the perfect Sesame oil Chicken.

Great value for money in a tastefully restored house in Malacca that had a great feel. Location wise, the hotel backed onto the river as well as being easy walking distance to the Jonker night market and Dutch Square. Extremely clean with helpful staff. A great hotel to stay in.

Very cute hotel, breakfast was OK.

it's generally an enjoyable stay. new, clean, accessible, friendly. the infinity pool, though small, is quirky as it is just on 2nd floor, by the river side walk. Flaws to pick on will be that air-con can take a while to cool the room, bath tub skirting is rather high and tend to hurt the foot getting in /out

We enjoyed our stay at Aava Malacca, especially the location along the river. The only negatives were that the website showed a window, but a lot of the rooms either don't have a window, or they're internal windows (to the hallway, etc). They charged for juice and yogurt at breakfast, which, to me, are things that should be included. The room was 'okay', but nothing special. Our room had a connecting door, so you could hear pretty much everything going on in the next room. The staff were friendly and the lobby area was beautiful. If you can get a discounted rate then I highly recommend, but if you pay full price there is probably better value elsewhere.

Loved the ambience of the hotel. Loved the pool. The staffs were very friendly and helpful to us the first timers. Close to Jonker Walk Street. And not that far to A'Famosa and the rest of the historical places. Abt 10 mins walk. Very good! Would love to stay again the next time if there's another chance.

Reasonably priced and strategic location, just 3 mins walk to Jonker Street. Room was clean, bed is comfortable, aircond is cold too. However, the bathroom ceiling paint flakes fell off while showering, need to touch up on that. Breakfast was simple but filled us up. The rendang chicken was good. Overall a good stay.

This is a new hotel with nice ambience, located 300M from Jonker Street. The hotel is clean and quiet, with a dipping pool on the upper floor. The hotel is converted from a peranakan building, giving it an old world charm. Will definitely come back to this hotel again.

The grand room is very very big and have a very comfortable bed. The decoration in the hotel is very nice and classical. Jonker Street within the walking distance and beside the hotel have a car park too. (need to pay)

It was great from the first we stepped in, kids definitely enjoyed the available tidbits at the reception and cafe, staff was very accommodating and they were always smiling and asking we needed anything, our room was huge with 2 queen beds and lots of space for the kids to run around, the pool was awesome for kids, breakfast was limited but it definitely was yummy and filling too..will definitely be there again!!!

Room only had a window opening into the inside of the property but excellent facilities in the room. All very new and tasteful. Definitely good value for the ambience and style

Cons: no stairs if you get upper room. Breakfast is just roti bakar/nasi lemak. Other than that, good location, nice room!
