Your Junior Suite was thoughtfully styled with warm wood tones, clean lines, and Peranakan-inspired decor. While not huge, the room felt cozy and meticulously maintained, with a comfy bed, elegant bathroom, and personal touches that reflected the building’s heritage roots .
The property is built around a quiet internal courtyard and features a small rooftop plunge pool—ideal for private relaxation amid the city’s bustle . Despite being tucked away down a side street, you were just minutes from heritage attractions and walking distance to everything yet retained a peaceful respite away from the crowds .
Breakfast struck the right balance between local Peranakan flavors and familiar morning fare—well-received and thoughtfully prepared . The lounge and coffee bar provided lovely spots to unwind, soaking in the charm of old Melaka.
