Courtyard by Marriott Melaka

The hotel is quite large, and so are the rooms. The double room beds are also quite spacious. The service was excellent; the bellhops carried all my numerous bags to the room. Breakfast was also very generous. Since my son didn't wake up in time, the hotel even allowed me to take some bread and eggs back to the room. The service is good, but there aren't many staff who speak Chinese, so a basic understanding of English is needed for communication. I particularly enjoyed the swimming pool and gym. However, I booked a sea view room, and it was really far from the strait. I zoomed in to take a picture, but the scene I imagined, with many ships sailing on the strait, was non-existent because it was too far to see anything! Still, for this price in Malacca, it's considered quite expensive, which explains why all the facilities are so good!!!

Overall, this hotel really shines with its service, which saved the day. The location is a huge plus, only about 2 kilometers from the main attractions, so you can pretty much get anywhere by taxi in under 10 minutes, making getting around super convenient. Even though the property was just renovated in 2023, some of the facilities aren't very user-friendly. The shower is a tub-style, with grooves on both sides for drainage, but it drains quite slowly. After a shower, the entire bathroom floor is flooded and very slippery. The biggest inconvenience was the lack of movable or extra hangers in the room. After handwashing towels and underwear, we had nowhere to dry them. This would be a nightmare for guests with kids or those staying for an extended period. Also, the infinity pool isn't really true to its name; there's no spectacular view. In fact, the higher floors of the apartment hotel behind it have a much better orientation and theoretically should offer direct views of the Strait of Malacca. However, the hotel definitely has its bright spots. The food at their in-house restaurant is delicious and reasonably priced. Breakfast ordered on-site is 45 MYR per adult, and kids eat for free, which is great value for money. The service attitude is excellent. Because our child had online classes at noon, we communicated with the front desk, and they seamlessly arranged a late checkout for us. This experience was fantastic. Just a heads-up, it seems like most big hotels in Malaysia no longer provide bottled water. This hotel has a direct drinking water system, so you'll need to bring your own cup to fill up.

The front desk staff were very enthusiastic. The hotel is newly opened and is already one of the better options in the area. The hotel breakfast was average; while there were many options, the quality was just so-so. The Strait of Malacca is nice. You can also go to Jonker Street to try the 'monster instant noodles,' which are very unique!!!

It's a relatively new hotel, but the bathroom floor still had hair, so it wasn't cleaned properly. It's about 5 MYR to Jonker Street, which is convenient. It's a bit far from the Straits of Malacca, but overall still very accessible.

This is a Marriott hotel, and there appears to be a配套 apartment building nearby, with advertisements downstairs. The infinity pool and guest lounge are particularly stunning from a distance.

The hotel is about a ten-minute taxi ride from Jonker Street. There aren't many shops around the hotel, but the lobby is very spacious and the room hygiene is pretty good. It's a decent choice if you're just staying one night in Malacca as a stopover, especially since there aren't many options there. After checking in, we headed to Malacca, which was also about a ten-minute drive. Malacca isn't a large city.

The hotel service was good, and check-in was very quick. The cleanliness was just okay, but the room size wasn't too small.
