Top 10 Wave Pool Hotels

The location is good and it's newly renovated, but there's no window and only one bedside table. The electrical outlets are severely lacking; one is used for the bedside lamp, leaving only one in the bathroom and one next to the TV. If you want to boil water or charge two devices, you only have that one! The public hallway and the room itself are tiled, which makes every sound echo. The cleaning staff start vacuuming at 8:15 AM. They plug the vacuum into an outlet in the hallway and then drag the cord into the rooms to clean, so the vacuum noise is incredibly loud. We stayed for two nights and no one cleaned the room. Reviews mentioned the staff here are very enthusiastic, but I didn't experience that at all. The female staff member who checked me in around 8 PM didn't smile once during the whole process. I was very disappointed to find there was no window in the room, especially since I had requested one. When I went back to ask the staff member, she said they couldn't arrange it that night but could switch us to a room with a window the next day if one was available. I said that was fine, as long as I got a window, I didn't mind if it changed from a twin room to a larger room with a double bed. However, the next day, there was absolutely no update, as if nothing had been discussed. Is this their idea of hospitality? Later, I discovered a rectangular window that I initially thought was just decorative. It turns out it looks out onto the shops downstairs. Does that even count as a window? Compared to other places in the area, the price isn't cheap. The room is small, and there was no cleaning even though we stayed multiple nights. We had to go to the front desk ourselves to get the two bottles of water on the second day, and they wouldn't give us an extra one. Plus, because it's a staircase, we had to carry our luggage up and down ourselves! Haha, out of the three hotels we've stayed at in Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, and this one over the past 10 days, this one had the worst service attitude. I really didn't feel any hospitality here.

This hotel absolutely deserves a full five-star rating for its location, service, and ambiance! Upon arrival, the front desk thoughtfully offered a smoothie and a cold towel, instantly refreshing us from the scorching travel heat. After check-in, a staff member personally escorted us to our room, and we even received meticulous turndown service in the evening – a truly excellent experience. The location is also impeccable. Directly across the river is the famous Dutch Square (Red Square), and it's only about a 200-meter walk to Jonker Street and the night market, making it incredibly convenient for getting around. What surprised me the most was discovering, while looking through old photos, that I had unknowingly captured this hotel in a picture way back in 2012 when I first visited Malacca. To reunite with it years later as a guest feels like a rare and wonderful serendipitous encounter. Highly recommended!

This is a charming boutique hotel, exuding a strong Malaccan Nanyang (Southeast Asian) style. The room decor is a delightful blend of European and Nanyang influences, with high-quality materials used throughout. The lobby and public areas feature beautiful and impressive marble, and even the bathroom fixtures in the rooms are top-notch. There's an elevator, which is a great plus, as many smaller hotels often prioritize aesthetics over convenience. The room isn't huge, but it has a balcony – though I didn't use it due to the heat. The air conditioning was excellent, and the shower water pressure was great. The towels weren't brand new, but I always bring my own anyway. The toiletries are L'Occitane, which is a nice touch. Breakfast is semi-buffet style; it has everything you need, and while not super extensive, it's quite good. Each room gets two complimentary coffees to take away daily. There was a male staff member, I think named NASIK, who was incredibly friendly and happy to chat with guests. He was very helpful with luggage and looked quite Chinese, leaving a great impression. Overall, this hotel is excellent. While not directly on the river, the location is still very convenient for exploring and experiencing the local culture. My only gripe is with Trip.com – I don't understand why the price was so high when I booked. I didn't keep an eye on it, and when I checked in, I realized booking on the same day would have been much cheaper. That's likely a platform issue, not the hotel's.

Nice simple room. It can be pretty dark as there are no exterior windows and being on the main corridor close to reception meant we were conscious of hearing other people and being heard. Parking isn't available there but there is a car park close by. The arrangement to send you there with a very young staff member in your car rather than give directions is a little strange.

We are bikers from SG , carpark for motorcycles is sheltered. Not bad. 500-800m to jonker street. Carpark is behind hotel, need to stop at front of hotel at main road and ask for exact direction. If not going to be difficult to find.
