Mr. Chua is the perfect host. He runs this guesthouse on his own and keeps it full of history, art, kindness, and warmth. His jokes, advice, and good vibes were the best part of our trip to Melaka. We definitely miss his banana pancakes (especially the black ones, haha). The place is kept clean, and there is enough space both inside and outside the rooms. The air conditioning in each room is a big help with the climate in Melaka. The location is excellent (close to the center but in a quiet neighborhood with good local restaurants nearby). *The Wi-Fi signal is weak, for those who need it.

it was perfect!

Old town guest house is a little gem tucked away in the old town section of Malacca, reasonably close to the heritage sights. The decor is quirky & unique, with small, but clean and comfortable rooms. The hosts are wonderful people and treat you like family. Mr. Chua gave me a printed map of the heritage sights and advised me of how to navigate it through the day. He did not try to sell any tours and recommended that we walk everywhere. When we were leaving, his wife packed us some homemade snacks for our journey to Cameron highlands. This thoughtful gesture was over and above the daily breakfast included in the room price.

I liked everything.

Thanks to Chua is my holiday in Malaysia just great. He gave me lots of useful tips and recommendations and we are still in touch. His guesthouse maybe doesn't reflect the latest design trends, but it's comfy, clean and just a few steps from the city center. What's more, Chua is such a great host that he will share breakfast with you and always make something special. It may be a small thing, but especially if you are a solo traveller, you can appreciate it. These things make you feel like home and are a proof, that good people are everywhere around the world, no matter where you are.

Honestly, the hidden gem in Malacca ✨️ From laughter & a home feel, to taking care of us as if we were their children. We needed a late check-in, as we were driving in after work from Iskander Puteri - we were immediately told that would be sorted. We were given advice on where to go, and had the beautiful fortune of staying at the same time as 3 sisters who were just as friendly. They were repeat and local guests, so that is telling. There is a mini library, swing chairs to lounge in, and an adorably quaint kitchen. Both hot and cold water showers are available [I prefer completely cold]. We had accidentally booked a double room, but were offered a twin room upon arrival. I needed to borrow a hairdryer and that was immediately offered to me upon request. So much was done for us, it was so appreciated! We had an extremely early check out, and were given such care in the process. They were still checking in on me, after having left because I had some challenges with my airline. The care was above and beyond. Location was central to every attraction we wanted to go to ✨️ Thank you for a little home away from home! Highly recommended!

So where shall I start 🤔 We arrived very late due to our bus being delayed, and the host stayed up to greet us. Everything was just perfect. I felt like I was a child again 😔 just felt like home 🏡 Nothing was too much trouble they put their guests first 24/7 The host gave us a map of malacca telling us of all the places to go . We have been travelling for a month and have stayed in many places, but this is on the top of my list . Clean Comfortable Kind Breakfast was a lovely treat 😋 I was sad to leave 😞 I would 💯 recommend this place 👌

Nothing

We looooooved the host and how he treats everyone with respect and gives attention to each guest and tries to make them feel at home the moment you walked through the door. He sits down with a map n gives you highlights of the area suggests main places to visit n also gives you alternative places as well depending on your preference. It helped us so much to navigate the weekend and we recommend this place to everyone if you like the more authentic feel.

We didnt like leaving so soon. :(

Everything, the owners Chua and his lovely wife Maria are the perfect hosts who cannot do enough for their guests. Chua has a wealth of knowledge to help with guests onward travels if they need any guidance, we did. We stayed there 2 years ago and he gave us great advice as to where to travel after Melacca and he has done so again this time ! The guesthouse is immaculate. Last but not least is Maria's baking of Bananna and chocolate cakes, which are superb. We only hope we will be able to return a third time. Fantastic place and a lovely lovely couple.

Stay in the heart of Malacca in true original style at Old Town Guest House. The guest house provides a homey feeling that truly sets it apart. We spent our mornings chatting over a big breakfast, which included delightful banana cake, and thanks to Mr. Choa's excellent hospitality and detailed insights about the city, we felt right at home. The location is unbeatable—just walking distance to the top spots in Malacca. Exploring the city was a breeze, and every step revealed new charms. The cozy ambiance, personalized service, and attention to detail make Old Town Guest House a standout choice for anyone visiting Malacca.

The host, Chua, facilitated every moment of our stay in Melaca. We have had several mishappenings during our stay there and not only was he thoughtful but also he provided assistance. His update on the city highlights and secrets, upon our arrival, helped us understand better the settings of the city. The location of the hotel was ideal, and we felt constantly we had someone to guide us! Totally recommendable place, Chua thanks for all!

Omg this Guesthouse was amazing!! It has a very good location (away from Tourist noise) and you are in the centre 10min Walking! Maria, the host, is so lovely and makes sure you have everything you need!! She makes her own banana bread and even gave me some to take to the Airport. Communication also works with the owner via WhatsApp and he helps with any questions. The Guesthouse is very Clean (i had my own bathroom but the shared facilities are also great). Highly recommend and would come again! Thanks Maria and owner :)!!

Nothing, it was great.
