Hotels near Church of St. Francis Xavier Melaka, Melaka

Charming hotel with a beautifully-designed Peranakan interior - you may even want to spend some time in the hotel just to appreciate the intricate and tasteful in-house decoration. The room was very clean and extremely comfortable, equipped with quality fittings, comfortable bed and pillows and all the amenities you need. Strategically located within close proximity to various places of interest, especially Jonker Street which is just a short walk away. They provide free parking albeit limited and in a very tight alley (not very suitable for big cars), but there is a public parking directly opposite the hotel's designated parking alley which is a very good alternative considering how challenging it is to find a parking spot in Malacca. Reception staff were helpful and courteous too. The only slight downside was the underwhelming breakfast - I would suggest foregoing the hotel's breakfast and instead enjoy a hearty local meal outside. Overall an excellent experience - I would not hesitate to come back.

Regular guest at this hotel due its excellent location close to the main tourist attractions, eateries and shopping malls. Room is comfortable and quite spacious. My usual grouse is the tiny shower cubicle that leaves splashes of water on the bathroom floor. But overall, a satisfactory stay.

I have been staying at this Guest House for 4 during my visit to Melaka for 5 days. I love the newly renovated room instead of the old type (which is cheaper). This is the cheapest hotel and I feel like I am winning a Jackpot! ☺️

I feel scammed on my first ever visit to this country. My room was run down, quite old, a bit yucky and dirty. Stains everywhere incl on the bedsheets! See attached pics for details. The furniture, curtains and windows were disgusting and it smelled mouldy. WiFi barely worked during the 5 nights I was there. Had to constantly reconnect. Had to escape to Starbucks opposite to be able to work. Mattress totally sunken, never seen anything like it in any hotel. Felt completely groggy and suffered from back pain during the entirety of my trip. This was definitely a first. The sheets were stained as well. Lobby all shiny and glitzy and clean, the place was busy and staff very friendly holding doors. Felt like a 4 star hotel when you enter but definitely a 0 star for the rooms!

Stayed at The Shore for 2 nights over the Merdeka holidays. Had 2 connecting rooms on 32nd floor. Did not face much problem going up and down the lifts. View was great and did see fireworks because of the Merdeka celebrations. Since it was our first hotel booking here we were very confused with the parking layout. Signs should be bigger and brighter to direct guests to the correct lift ie Tower 1 to The Shore and Tower 2 to the Swiss Garden hotel. Check in was a breeze but was a bit surprised as housekeeping is not done on a daily basis. If you need towels and refreshments you need to make a request at the reception.

Experience an impeccable stay that meets the highest standards. Enjoy the luxurious ambiance of a classic, comfortable, and immaculate setting, enhanced by the attentive care of the hospitable staff. The breakfast is superb, offering a delightful start to your day. Located in a strategic, yet private and peaceful spot, it is an ideal retreat. Highly recommended for those seeking a premium experience. 5 stars! Kudos to Staff Greg!

**Review of Swiss-Garden Hotel Melaka** My stay at Swiss-Garden Hotel Melaka was a bit of a mixed experience, with both positive aspects and a few frustrations. Starting with the positives, the location of the hotel is great—situated near the heart of Melaka, making it easy to explore the city’s attractions. The facilities, including the pool and gym, were well-maintained, and the overall ambiance of the hotel was modern and welcoming. However, there were some issues that affected my overall comfort. First, the parking situation. While the hotel offers a premium valet service for RM25, it feels a bit overpriced given the alternatives in the area. Though convenient, the cost doesn’t match the level of service provided. The biggest downside was the bathroom design. The toilet and shower are separated by one of those glass partitions, which isn’t the most functional setup. It made the space feel cramped and awkward to move around, especially with limited space behind the bathroom door. The shower glass just added to the inconvenience—honestly, removing it might improve the usability of the space! On a brighter note, the staff were polite and helpful throughout my stay, and check-in and check-out were smooth. Overall, Swiss-Garden Hotel Melaka has potential, but small details like the bathroom layout and parking costs took away from what could have been a more enjoyable experience. **Rating:** 3.5/5

Hotel is well located however the parking is a bit far. Room is perfect with proper toilet items. Pretty love the long walkway in the hotel. Free parking, just remember to give ur touch and go to lobby before check out

Where do I begin with this hotel…?! Booked for 3 nights via Expedia because the hotel’s reservation page kept declining my credit card but still charging it - will sort this out later. Check-in: was told I had to pay a RM50 deposit in cash when I checked in. My hotel was prepaid online but I have no issue with the deposit, except they wouldn’t take credit cards for the deposit as they apparently cannot issue deposit refunds via credit card. I guess they haven’t learned about placing authorizations on cards and reversing the charges. They have Touch n’Go e-wallet stickers at reception but also wouldn’t allow me to pay the deposit via TnG. Fortunately I had some cash on me or I would have had to go find an ATM to withdraw money. Arguing with the receptionist is pointless since they’re merely enforcing stupid and nonsensical policies by management. Room: basic but acceptable. The remote controls for the air conditioning and tv were given at check-in. I guess the management is highly suspicious of guests and will not leave them in the room. Hot water in the shower was lukewarm at best and water pressure so-so. TV channels have zero channels in English. Guess English-speakers aren’t their intended clientele. Housekeeping does not automatically make up rooms. I was out the whole day and when I came back around 645pm, realised that the room was not made up. By then I had decided to move hotels and forego remaining 2 nights after the first night. At checkout when I told the receptionist about the unmade room, I was told that I had to call housekeeping to clean the room. What kind of half-baked, cheapskate dump has such a ridiculous policy!? I was told that apparently some guests don’t allow housekeeping in and so they just decided to not clean until asked. Amazingly every other respectable hotel in the world has a better solution to this - come back later!! Funnily this ridiculous policy is also not communicated at check-in. I didn’t expect an offer of refund for checking out early. Any hotel whose management is such a skinflint that they wouldn’t even provide daily housekeeping or keep the remotes in the room can hardly be expected to engage in customer service. Oh as a bonus, I saw an ironing board in the corridor. They wouldn’t provide ironing boards in the room of course. The pictures say more than I can. Verdict: never coming back here again if I can help it. Overpriced and does not deserve 3 star rating.

Love it so much, we stayed here for 3 days 2 nights, the rooms are very clean, wide and equipped with basic equipments and electrical appliances such as microwave, electrical stove, fridge, washing machine and TV. You will be assigned one unique parking lot for each unit after checked in. Customer service is so excellent and efficient. The view is pretty nice, can even see Encore Melaka from our unit. Will come here again next time.
