The Suite is so amazing. Affordable and not crowded. Directly facing the Forbidden Garden, Istana Sultanate.

The Jacuzzi is so cozy. Love it.

This hotel/hostel was to our expectation for price vs quality & experience. *Location* : Great, 3mins away from the Melaka Palace Museum we could see it from our 1st floor room window. About 5 mins walk to the A'Famosa gate building, it's literally behind this hotel. 12mins walk from Jonker Street just past the A'Famosa gate *Room* : Quirky, clean and roomy. High ceilings, good hot/cold shower, silent aircond. Slightly lacking local TV channels via antenna as IPTV provided was hit or miss with signal. Wifi was good. Rooms are no-smoking, no-durian/mangosteen. *Breakfast* : Okay, local delicacies, fruits, bread & coffee/tea. Could do better with a wider choice of local fruits. *Pool* : Nice outdoor, shower/toilet, free pool towels provided. *Others* : 🌿Hotel common areas outdoors decorated with potted plants, 🥫drinks fridge (payable at reception), 🥛 free water fountain (hot/cold), 🚗free parking by hotel in front of entrance marked in yellow lines for about 7-8 cars. If there's no free space, council parking was RM5/day payable by parking app. We got a free space used for 3 nights make our money's worth on the stay 😁

Incluyen desayuno, lo que es poco habitual en Asia. Poca variedad, tanto tipo europeo como local, pero suficiente para salir de visita con algo en el estómago!!
Por cierto, hicimos el Check in pasada la medianoche ya que aterrizamos ese mismo día en Singapur, y no hubo problemas ya que el día anterior avisé al hotel!
Gracias por esta estancia de 3 días!!🫶🫶👌👏

Lo mejor es su situacion, pero es un hotel sin personalidad y el desayuno deja mucho que desear. Pero es muy barato y cumple su funcion.

Perfect hotel for a night in Melaka and a moderate budget.

Great Location and Friendly Staff
Rucksack Premium Inn Hostel Malacca is just a 5-minute walk to Dutch Square and the city center, including St. Paul’s Church on the upper hill and Jonker Town (Chinatown). This made sightseeing in the morning very convenient and time-saving. Breakfast was served with traditional Malaysian dishes that were light and enjoyable, especially for Asian travelers. The staff were very friendly, always welcoming me with a smile and kindly offering to store my luggage, which allowed me to focus on my travel itinerary.

I only wish there were curtains in the room, but I understand this may depend on the hostel’s circumstances. At present, the park nearby is under construction, though I believe this is something unavoidable. Overall, it was a comfortable and satisfying stay.

地理位置优越,员工友好
Rucksack Premium Inn Hostel Malacca 距离荷兰红屋广场和市中心仅5分钟路程,包括山上的圣保罗教堂和鸡场街(唐人街)。这使得早晨观光非常方便并节省了时间。早餐提供了马来西亚传统食物,清淡可口,尤其适合亚洲旅客。工作人员非常友好,总是面带微笑迎接我,并贴心地帮我寄存行李,让我能够专注于旅行行程。

我只是希望房间里能有窗帘,但我理解这可能取决于旅舍的情况。目前附近的公园正在施工,不过我认为这是无法避免的。总体来说,这是一次舒适而令人满意的入住体验。

立地が良く、スタッフが親切
Rucksack Premium Inn Hostel Malacca はオランダ広場や市内中心部まで徒歩わずか5分で、丘の上にあるセントポール教会やジョンカーストリート(中華街)も含まれます。そのため、朝の観光がとても便利で時間を節約できました。朝食にはマレーシアの伝統料理が用意されており、特にアジアの旅行者にとっては軽くて食べやすく楽しめました。スタッフの方々はとても親切で、いつも笑顔で迎えてくださり、荷物を預かっていただけたので旅行の日程に集中することができました。

部屋にカーテンがあればさらに良いと思いましたが、これはホステルの事情によるものだと思います。また、現在周辺の公園が工事中ですが、これは仕方のないことだと思います。全体として、快適で満足のいく滞在でした。

좋은 위치와 친절한 스태프
Rucksack Premium Inn Hostel Malaka는 네덜란드 광장과 도심(언덕 위의 성 바오로 교회와 종커 타운(차이나타운) 포함)까지 도보 5분 거리에 있어 아침 일찍 관광하기에 매우 편리하고 시간을 절약할 수 있었습니다. 아침식사는 말레이시아 전통 음식으로 준비되어 동양인 여행자 입장에서도 부담 없이 즐길 수 있었습니다. 스태프 분들이 항상 미소로 반겨주고, 짐도 맡아주셔서 여행 일정에 집중할 수 있었습니다.

방에 커튼이 있었으면 더 좋겠지만, 이는 호스텔 사정에 따라 달라질 수 있다고 이해합니다. 현재 주변 공원이 공사 중이지만, 이는 어쩔 수 없는 부분이라 생각합니다. 전체적으로는 편안하고 만족스러운 숙박이었습니다.

Location is great, 2 minutes walking from all the attractions. Small room but clean. Small breakfast on that day available nasi lemak cone boiled eggs croissant butter and jam, cornflakes and milk, but it is a plus anyway .swimming pool outside
Jana
Top Hostel in der Nähe des Zentrums! Sauberes Zimmer und kleines kostenloses Frühstück. Pool ist perfekt für eine Abkühlung nach einem langen Tag in der Sonne. Es waren auch viele Familien da, sodass in der gemütlichen Lobby immer jemand war. Staff auch sehr freundlich und man hat sich sicher gefühlt.
Peter Zakrzewski
Rooms have everything you need for a stay of a few nights. Breakfast was included and had a mix of western and local options. Pool was perfect to cool off in the middle of the day. Excellent location right near A Famosa.
Ellen Jansen
Such a nice place. The place was perfect and the rooms were very nice and also very clean. We really liked our time here. They were also so kind to book a taxi for us to the taman negara. Really recommend this place
Syazwan Azhar
I checked in to this hotel in 2019. The room was comfortable and aesthetic. Swimming pool open until 10pm. Which is i have time to swim at night and during the day i went for a walk around melaka. There was a very calming smell near the hotel lobby. May I know what the smell was called? I've been looking for that smell since 2019. I forgot to ask the reception before checking out.
Madalina Grusea
