This is a very new hotel which started their business in March 2023. Wanted to try on the first day of opening but due to some reason, it was delayed till now. It’s a first Marriott hotel in Melaka, so I do have very high expectations from them. As a Marriott platinum elite member, I’ve stayed in many hotel under Marriott organisation. Upon reaching the hotel with grab car, the staff came up to me immediately and lead me to the check in counter, the lobby are huge, and I can still smell that the hotel are still so new. Not much of the guest in the lobby area, it’s a Monday so I guess it’s normal. No suite room upgrade and no complimentary breakfast for a platinum member, although I was upgraded to a strait view room which I appreciated it. It can see a tiny bit of the sea. Apart from that, I guess the room size and amenity are the same. The check in staff told me that the suite room was full… I mean.. it’s a Monday.. and I literally still can see the suite room was available in the Bonvoy app. As I’ve mentioned, I’ve been to many hotel under Marriott organisation. I don’t always get upgraded to a suite room, but it was okay, I do understand all these are subjected to individual hotel policy and it’s all a good will. But I guess the staff could just tell me that the hotel are still new, the suite room are limited and it’s reserved for paying guest. I would totally understand that. But I don’t think it’s wise to you know, use a default replied as member like us, we check on the app. For me, if there’s no available suite room, I wouldn’t even ask for an upgrade. Secondly, there’s no complimentary breakfast, I paid RM70 for the 2 day breakfast. I’ve stayed in a few courtyard hotel, this was the first one that I’ve paid for breakfast, there might be other courtyard that don’t provide complimentary breakfast for guest with elite status, maybe I didn’t stay much enough to see it all. I’ve stayed with hotel that told me that their facility actually don’t offer complimentary breakfast for elite member, but they will just give it to me as a good will on top of my welcome gift. Just a little suggestion, like maybe let the counter staff to decide, if they could slip in some complimentary breakfast to guest with elite status or even guest that potentially come back again. I’m not complaining here, just some of my suggestions. The room are new, nice and spacious, very clean. Nice TV channel selection, view was great. Bed are firm to the level that I like, they offer pillow menu as well. Had very good sleep for the 2 night. Breakfast was very basic. There’s a very annoying flies flying around my table.. how did it come into the hotel, lol. Gym are small but there should be everything you need. The infinity pool are great! Very good view and very Instagrammable. Please visit the pool when you are here. The staff and friendly and nice. Would come back again to the hotel when I’m back in Melaka.

The Majestic Malacca Hotel - Small Luxury Hotels of The World

Malacca City Center Melaka|2.57km from Portuguese Settlement, Melaka
**Overall Rating: 9/10** My stay at The Majestic Malacca was delightful, earning a solid 9 out of 10 for its excellent service, well-appointed rooms, and overall experience. However, there's room for improvement, particularly in refining the conduct of the guest liaison officer. **Building: 8/10** Despite being relatively small, The Majestic Malacca impresses with a complete array of amenities. However, minor issues like the broken lock in the lobby men's restroom need attention. **Christmas Celebration Package: 8/10** The festive package offered fun activities with impressive prizes, although luck wasn't on my side. The dinner, albeit a bit disappointing, exuded a lively vibe, making the celebration enjoyable. **Breakfast: 9/10** The breakfast experience was exceptional! The Nasi Lemak was outstanding and a must-try. Although the menu is excellent, incorporating new dishes could enhance the overall variety. The à la carte dining provided a fine-dining experience, encouraging guests to dress well and indulge in the gastronomic delights offered. **Room: 8.5/10** The room was inviting with a fantastic view, scoring an 8.5 out of 10. While the amenities like an iron and ironing board were not readily available, they were promptly provided upon request. The bed's comfort level added to the overall positive experience. **Would I Revisit?** Absolutely! The Majestic Malacca stands as a beacon of a well-rounded hotel experience, especially with its delectable breakfast and convenient proximity to Malacca's main attractions. In conclusion, despite minor areas for improvement, The Majestic Malacca is a definite recommendation for those seeking a charming hotel with top-notch service and a delightful breakfast experience. Sincerely, Your happy guest <3

I’ve booked 3 rooms. When i arrived i had to contact the host myself. Normally the host will contact us before checking in to ensure we could check into our rooms smoothly. The hotel should remark that we have to contact the host before checking in if they wont contact us first. Because we have to fill a form for each room so it takes so much time. I even have to wait for the host to set our room. We were supposed to check in by 3pm but there’s 1 room that we had to check in at 6pm. The host asked us to park at the mall’s parking which we have to pay ourselves if we did. After negotiating the host agreed to give us the parking card first but we had to wait in my sister’s room first. It has 5 lifts for both blocks but only 2 lifts can be used. Had to wait almost an hour to get ourselves inside the lift. Other than that, the water supply in block b was yellow. Would definitely not repeat to stay here again. But on the bright side, the rooms are spacious and clean. Suitable for families

Malacca City Center
We stayed at this hotel for 3 days and 2 nights this weekend and all I can say is it's really good! The staff here are very friendly and considerate (the duty manager Khairul even showed us around The villa area), the service was excellent, the rooms and the rest of the hotel were clean and well maintained (bathtubs in the common rooms), and the food (breakfast) was very good. The decor of the hotel is a mix of Malay wooden furniture and European. There is a small pool and a spa - we tried the spa and it was really nice. The hotel has a one way shuttle bus to Holland Street (Jonker Street) every two hours from 10am to 6pm. But since the hotel is not in the city center, it would be better if you have your own car (the car park is just behind the hotel and can park about 8-10 cars). The hotel is also very close to the Portuguese Settlement, about a 10 minute walk, but it's not a good walk at night. We all know that this hotel has been open for less than a year, and the building was previously used by the government. The hotel's current star rating will last until the end of the year, it really does feel like a bargain, especially for those looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city, it's not a great place to stay. But it's very close to those attractions. My heartfelt thanks to Kailu and his entire team for making our trip so memorable. keep it up!
