3-Star Hotels in Melaka State, Malaysia

Had a really good stay. If you’re looking for a decent budget hotel room with a fair price. Here it is!

Not too far from Jonker Street, easily walkable. The hygiene was pretty good, and the bedding was comfortable enough. There's a durian shop very close to the hotel, which was really convenient. The downside was that rooms facing the street could hear motorcycles revving at night, which disturbed my sleep.

I had a minor accident in front of the hotel lobby—I hit the cement curb/bollard in front of the hotel, resulting in a slight scratch/damage to a floor tile (and this particular tile already had several previous damages from other people hitting it before). Subsequently, an Indian staff member (identified as a supervisor by his colleague) came and took pictures of the damaged tile. The issues I have with his conduct are as follows: He started chatting with a Chinese customer while pointing out the minor damage and simultaneously pointing towards my car, smiling and chuckling slightly as if mocking or being sarcastic. Then, another Chinese man (possibly a customer or staff) approached, and he again showed the damaged tile, smiling and chuckling lightly while pointing at my car. My issue here is: there were also Malay customers present; why did he choose the Chinese customers to point out this issue to, but not the Malay customers? He then approached me and said: ”You have hit and damaged this tile, and you need to know that I will report this to the hotel owner, and you should know that the owner of this hotel is a Chinese person, and I am certain you will have to pay for the damages.” What is the implication of saying, 'the owner of this hotel is a Chinese person'? I asked why he needed to make a scene and involve other customers to talk about the incident while laughing lightly and smiling as if being condescending, and why this incident was being exaggerated when he himself was aware and had mentioned that customers frequently hit that cement curb. Is it now my turn to be made to pay for the damage, after it has been hit multiple times by other customers previously? Am I being made a scapegoat to settle the costs of previous incidents? Where is the commitment to excellent Customer Service in terms of maintaining a customer's 'dignity' or 'reputation' (air muka) in front of other patrons? He made a fuss as if I had brought down the whole building. I am attaching photos of the tile damage and other pre-existing damages.

Very nice hotel Very convenient! Staff friendly and clean Spacious hotel room

Booked this hotel for family stay when first time visiting Melaka, not very far from Jonker Street if driving, so far so good. Remember to bring your own toothbrush and toothpaste.

Good hotel with decent cleanliness & breakfast included in the room package. Would recommend should you need a short stay. Room & toilet : spacious with a king bed & 4 pillow provided. Iron & iron board provided in a room with spacious space for big luggage / working space. Toilet have no shower screen, old painting started to peel off. Towel provided. No designated parking for hotel but Majlis parking available in front of the hotel (payable via apps on day time). Breakfast : great selection of breakfast - Nasi Lemak, Kurt Teow Goreng, Wedges, Fried sausages, coffee tea, cereal, bread, salad station, fruits, soup/mee station. Only downside no egg station Other downside is you have to pay for RM10 should you need extra pillow Location wise is great - 5 minutes walk to local tourist attractions like A Famosa etc. lots of Adam Pedas shop selection within the hotel location as well. 10-15 mins walk to Mahkota Parade, local mall.

Sorry, I won't be returning to this hotel. I booked a king bed, but when I arrived, I got two single beds pushed together. Then the staff let me change to a second room, but the air conditioning was noisy, which really disturbed my sleep. So the staff let me change rooms again, but the third room was in really poor condition. The bed was broken, causing the mattress to sag downwards. The floor was peeling, the dressing table was old and shabby, and the AC wires were scattered behind the bed. I was traveling with a small child, which made it even worse. What bad luck! I've never had to change rooms three times before. Luckily, the staff's response was good, and we got an upgrade to a family room. The room was okay, and the air conditioning was fine, but I definitely won't be coming back.

The water pressure in the bathroom was quite weak, which made showering uncomfortable. Also, the room did not provide slippers, which would have been a nice basic amenity.

The front desk service was excellent; they even reminded us about the police issuing parking tickets and to remember to pay for parking. The room was cleaner than expected, and all the restaurants were conveniently within walking distance. Plus, we got a massage discount for staying there! 🤩🤩 I'd definitely stay here again!!

S&tayed at De Ocean Hotel Melaka and had a pleasant experience overall. The accommodation was well-maintained, offering a simple, clean, and cozy atmosphere. The room was tidy and comfortable, and the towels provided were clean. However, the bedsheets were a bit old and could use an update. Parking is available, which is convenient for guests traveling by car. It would be even better if the hotel could provide a water dispenser for added convenience. Overall, it's a decent and comfortable stay for short trips in Melaka.
