Nestled within the winding streets of Melaka, Baba House stands as a testament to the rich cultural tapestry that defines this UNESCO World Heritage city. Recently, I had the pleasure of immersing myself in the timeless charm of Baba House, an experience that seamlessly intertwined history, culture, and hospitality. Upon arrival, the grand façade of Baba House exudes an aura of nostalgia, transporting visitors to a bygone era of Peranakan splendour. Stepping through the entrance, I was enveloped in the warmth of traditional Peranakan hospitality, as the friendly staff greeted me with genuine smiles and a warm welcome. The interior of Baba House is a marvel to behold, meticulously restored to its former glory, yet tastefully adorned with modern comforts. Intricate Peranakan motifs adorn the walls, while antique furniture and artifacts offer a glimpse into the opulent lifestyle of the Peranakan elite. Every corner of the house is steeped in history, inviting guests to embark on a journey through time. My accommodation at Baba House was nothing short of luxurious. The rooms, adorned with ornate wooden furniture and vibrant Peranakan textiles, exuded an air of elegance and refinement. Modern amenities such as air conditioning and high-speed internet seamlessly blended with the heritage ambiance, ensuring a comfortable stay without compromising on authenticity. Beyond its architectural grandeur and culinary delights, Baba House offers a myriad of experiences to enrich the soul. Guided tours provide insights into the rich history and heritage of the Peranakan community, while hands-on workshops

The location is the best thing. It's only a few minutes' walk to the lots of restaurants and attractions. The atmosphere has the charm of the old world and the comfort of a modern hotel. The staff is polite and helpful.

The soundproofing is not good. Our room was on the ground floor, and there is a lounge area outside the room. Design wise, it's beautiful and functional. When someone is talking, the sound is amplified. We had someone on their phone and we could actually hear the person he was talking to. It wouldn't be a problem in the day time but he was doing it at night when we were about to sleep.

Sound insulation not that good. front desk staff no smile. security guard attitude terrible. i park longer time after check out room. The security guard give me very bad respond. Room charges is 5 stars rate but the security treat the customer is very lousy.

Brilliant location and beautiful historic setting. Just a block behind Jonker shopping street so you have easy access but none of the crowds. The accommodation is actually 8 adjoining historic Baba Nyonya heritage homes repurposed into a hotel. Always wonderful to see heritage buildings given a second lease of life. The hotel have kept much of the decor (e.g. water well, courtyard, sitting room etc) intact even going so far as to add plaque explaining the history and previous owner. Staying here is like visiting a time capsule but with modern amenities such as WiFi and air conditioning. Regarding facilities, the room is comfortable, spacious and well lit. WiFi signal is strong and room has a small fridge. There is a rooftop bar terrace that gets quite full in the evenings. Didn't eat at the restaurant but prices were fair. Plenty of eateries and shops downstairs regardless. Would recommend Jiuyi Kitchen which is a few doors down for their excellent Cendol and Nyonya curry. Finally, this location is also walking distance to A Formosa Fort but a better destination would be the Baba Nyonya museum also several doors down. Else staff is extremely friendly and helpful to recommend things to do or places to eat in historic Malacca.

Single use plastic bottles for bathroom amenities. The recycling bin in the room is a step forward but the single use plastic is 2 steps back. Finally the hallway lights are always running regardless of time of day. With so few floors and so many windows, the hallways are bright in daytime rendering the lighting an unnecessary waste. All knocks against the environment.

The location was very ideal and it is a beautiful hotel, reflecting the peranakan culture. They play a movie each night at the front and if I didn't have children, I would have thoroughly enjoyed it with some food and drinks. The shallow pool is good for lounging and for small children as they can play without parents worrying too much. They must have been replacing the umbrellas as when it is hot, there is no reprieve from the sun and the bar is basically unserviced. In terms of cleanliness, it is good in our room, however there is mould at the bottom of the air conditioning and also in the shower. We didn't use the breakfast service but did not hear great things about it so we didn't feel like we were missing out.

The design is beautiful: historical but contemporary and stylish. Beds and pillows were excellent. Had the buffet dinner which was exceptional in quality. The price I paid for, with the discount since my friend and I were staying in a room, made it cheap if compared to what we would have to pay for if we had eaten in a Peranakan restaurant elsewhere. What small number in facilities there was was made up for by the homey touches: movie nights, a library, antique items to take photos with, making this hotel unique in its offerings compared to other hotels elsewhere offering typical facilities. The staff were friendly and considerate. Very helpful too! Their warm relationship among themselves is infectious, carrying their happy attitude over to their customer service.

Haha... my room in the photo looks bigger than it is in reality. There is lack of space around the basin to place our own toiletries. It's fantastic to have friendly, helpful staff which clearly have great collegial relationship among themselves. But they could be more mindful to maintain a professional manner when hotel guests appear (e.g. instead of looking at the handphone).

Exceptional in every way ! Our stay at Baba House was nothing short of perfect. From the warm, welcoming staff who went above and beyond to ensure our comfort, to the immaculately clean and beautifully designed rooms, every detail exceeded our expectations, from the cozy bedding to the thoughtful little extras—made us feel truly pampered. The house breakfastwas a culinary delight, offering fresh, flavorful options that started our days on a high note. It’s rare to find a place that balances elegance with such genuine hospitality. Thank you for an unforgettable experience—we’ll be recommending you to everyone and can’t wait to return somewhere in time …

Charming ambience and decor. The Western Restaurant was surprisingly very good. Excellent location.

(1) The bathroom door squeaks terribly. (2) For the price, the bed linens were visibly well worn and can find a few small black dots of stains caked into the sheets. (3) For our first night, there were little bugs on the bed which woke us with their itchy bites. We killed three on sight! Hotel Staff changed rooms for us immediately. Maybe its just that one bed, second room no such issue.

Really a nice place to stay when travelling around the Melaka old town. Convenient location with Baba Nyonya decorations. You can walk to most of the attractions and restaurants. Staffs are nice and friendly, and the room is clean and quiet. You could get Chinese tractional coins as a souvenir which could be also redeemed for a drink at the reception or the rooftop bar. Some spaces are designed for displaying some cultural artifacts.

The room isn't that soundproof. When someone talks at the corridor, you could hear clearly. I would suggest the management team to remind guests of speaking softly in the public areas.

The location of the hotel was excellent, walking distance to all the places we intended to visit in Melaka. The building was beautiful - a renovated old traditional building with all the decorative touches maintained. We were allowed to check in an hour early, which was very welcome. The rooms were comfortable, the bathroom very luxurious with very nice toiletries. Very comfy bed. The welcome drink tokens were a nice touch, although we were unable to use them on the roof as the bar was closed.

The ceiling leaked in the family room during heavy rain. It did not cause too much issue but when we reported it on check out, the staff member simply nodded and did not apologise. Some milk for the tea and coffee would have been very welcome in the rooms. It was a shame that the roof bar was closed when we visited (early evening). We did not have breakfast as it was not included in the room price.
