Dusit Princess Melaka

The room looks exactly like the pictures, no touch-ups needed. You can see the Malacca River from here. It's clean and hygienic, and the bedding is of good quality; I had three wonderful nights of sleep. The room was also cleaned very well every day 👍. The elevator was never crowded, always empty. The hotel's location is excellent, within walking distance to Jonker Street, and there are many delicious small eateries nearby, though you need to pay attention to their closing days and operating hours. After dinner, you can also take a leisurely stroll along the Malacca River to digest. The only thing that could be improved is that sometimes the breakfast replenishment isn't timely; it feels like the staff are overwhelmed, but the variety of food is quite good.

The room is quite spacious, and from the high floor, you can see the ocean in the distance. The surrounding buildings look a bit run-down, but sleeping was very comfortable. The breakfast was decent; my child really liked the egg bao there!

This hotel is a renovated old building, it definitely doesn't feel like a hotel that opened 25 years ago. The 4.7-star rating online seems misleading! The front desk staff don't speak Chinese, so issues can't be resolved promptly.

This time I chose the Dusit Thani Princess Hotel in Malacca, Malaysia. Since I took a long-distance bus from Kuala Lumpur to Malacca, I arrived at the hotel after 3 PM. At the front desk, the staff upgraded me to a room on a higher floor and gave me a 50 MYR dining voucher. I immediately went to the Western restaurant on the first floor and filled my stomach with warm pasta and a vegetable salad, which was incredibly heartwarming. The room was quite spacious with a great view, overlooking the scenery of Malacca, with the Malacca River below. It's a five-minute drive to the Red Square (Dutch Square), the lively Jonker Street, and other main attractions like the A Famosa ruins. The breakfast offered a rich mix of Chinese and Western dishes. The staff member, Joey, even patiently helped me download a ride-hailing app, which was very thoughtful. This hotel left me with wonderful memories and is highly recommended!

The bed is quite small and the room isn't very big, but it's super convenient for getting around. Downstairs, there are plenty of places to eat and drink. It's only a ten-minute walk to Jonker Street. The breakfast is just okay, and the air conditioning is a bit loud. You can hear motorcycles from downstairs, but the view from the window is excellent. I'd still recommend staying here.
