Melaka Hotels with Pools

The hotel sits right along the Melaka River, offering daytime views over stretches of red-tiled heritage rooftops and lovely riverside light views at night. It's just a short walk to the Stadthuys (Dutch Square) and the Melaka River Cruise jetty. It's a classic, older hotel with vintage decor and somewhat dated facilities, but overall it is well-maintained—rooms are clean, and all the basics work properly. The breakfast deserves special praise: with a great variety and delicious options, it was definitely a highlight of the stay. Summary: Highly recommended if you prioritize great views, easy access to the historic city center, and don't mind the retro charm of a heritage property.

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.

Place was beautifully furnished and clean. Apartment has many amenities like swimming pool, gym, basketball court, skateboard park etc. Location was good with many food options nearby. Close enough to attractions via a short car ride.

I stayed at this unit on 1st August 2026 (Sat - Sun). While I checked in around 10:00 PM and understood that immediate late-night fixes might be difficult, the condition of the unit and the host’s clueless, irresponsible handling made this stay unacceptable for the price paid. The host hides behind an automated AI system that spits out completely inaccurate, unhelpful, and generic replies. After wasting precious time forcing my way through to a human, the support was even worse. When I brought up all the missing facilities I had paid for, they turned around and asked me ”what they could do for me” instead of taking charge responsibility. I shouldn't have to tell a host how to run a proper accommodation when I paid full price for the listed amenities. - The floors were sticky and stained. Cleaners were sent immediate in 10 mins, change the floor bucket by using the kitchen sink. - The bedsheets that weren't even the proper fitted size for the bed. - The washing machine failed to function (told me that its broken), and the Wi-Fi/TV setup didn't work (we were absurdly told the Wi-Fi modem was located in a completely different unit's ceiling!, the cleaner told this is New Unit, Wifi Havent install !) - The master bedroom water heater was broken, they went and check, then left the floor with dirty foodprints. Since the water heater couldn't be fixed at night, their ”solution” was to send a technician at 10:30 AM the next morning, offering a late check-out until 1:00 PM or 2:00 PM as ”compensation.” Offering extra hours in a broken, dirty unit while forcing guests to sacrifice their privacy and endure technician repairs on their final morning is not compensation... Instead of offering a proper refund or a fair remedy, the host simply offered copy & pasted apologies (”sorry for the inconvenience caused”), took our money, and left us to tolerate their mess. This host fails to take responsibility even for basic, functional essentials. I’d be better off staying in a homestay or a simple hostel bunk bed. Save your money and avoid Alviv Homestay entirely. Preferring another host for this property as a returning guest. Love the property itself, great location, easy parking, smooth check-in, and low lift wait times.

Trip.com is truly unscrupulous, pushing this trashy hotel just for ad money, completely disregarding their conscience. 1. It's not a five-star; at most, it's a three-star. There's no service. On the first rainy day, the staff were actually gathered in a corner of the hotel smoking. A five-star rating isn't earned just by having an outdoor pool. 2. The hotel was renovated, not newly built in 2025. Who on earth has a five-star room with a window air conditioner? The walls are dirty, and the room door can't be deadbolted. Except for the lobby on the first floor, there's no air conditioning in the hallway on the second floor. There's no elevator, and you have to ask staff to help with luggage. Overall, it's a defective hotel where Wyndham seemingly ran out of money for a full renovation, started operating halfway through, and the operations can't keep up either. I'm guessing the staff's salaries aren't high, so they don't bother managing it, looking utterly idle. The weeds in the courtyard are as tall as grave grass—are you even going to clean them? My two biggest complaints: 1. Even if the AC isn't great, why does it blow directly at your head? And you dare claim to be five-star? 2. You clearly didn't bother with soundproofing, did you? Not only is there no soundproofing in the corridor, but when you converted the rooms, you just slapped a plywood board in a suite and dared to sell it? I can hear the whispered conversations from the bed next door. How am I supposed to sleep? Seriously, can these two issues send you straight to hell? To anyone reading this review: don't be fooled by '2025' or 'five-star.' You won't get a bargain (at least I didn't, and 400 yuan a night isn't exactly a steal). What makes it worthy of three stars: The bedding is relatively clean, the towels (though I didn't use them) seem to be of decent quality, the pool is barely usable, and the breakfast is edible.

Hotel is clean, spacious and have a big window view, bed is very comfy and cozy. Everything was ok for me. There are different lights and have a lamp on bed side which I like. I would suggest to give better quality toilet paper. Receptionist helped us to charge out phones at lobby while waiting to go back. Breakfast at hotel is nice with affordable price, meet our expectations. Location is not very far from Malacca attractions.

Although there was a small hiccup when we arrived, we were still able to check into our room smoothly. The staff even checked the air conditioning beforehand and told us to message them if we needed anything. My first impression of the room was how clean and comfortable it felt. When the hairdryer broke, I messaged them immediately, and they replied quickly and replaced it for us. The location is also great, within walking distance to many places and plenty of food options nearby, so you won't go hungry.

The front desk is on the first floor and is quite spacious. The 8th floor features a children's play area. The pool area on the 23rd floor (section A) is very large with beautiful views. The front desk service was attentive and thorough. The hotel is about 1.5 km from Airport Street, which is approximately a 12-minute walk. The facilities are quite complete; the rooms have both air conditioning and a fan, not just AC. There's no breakfast, which is a minor disappointment. Overall, I was quite satisfied with my stay. If you're a couple, the pool area on the 20th floor is fantastic for photos. Very satisfied overall.

We didnt bring any car, no comment about parking. The unit is enough for 6 adult. Aircon work good at living room, but not at the 3 bed room. They need to fix it. We have decent stay at the unit, towel and drinking water provided. One thing minus from the building is the Elevator, only 2 slow Elevator to provide all the unit with 26th floor. There is one time we need to go emergency exit just to go down to the ground floor. 😅

Overall, we had a very pleasant experience and really enjoyed our stay here. Definitely recommended for anyone looking for a comfortable and convenient place to stay in Melaka.
