    Truly exceptional- a wonderful historic hotel in the heart of the city. All the decor was ‘just right’- it had a wonderful atmosphere and felt like a home rather than a museum. All the facilities were to a high standard. All the staff very lovely especially the owner who kindly explained all the different foods served at breakfast.

    Lovely stay at 5 Heeren Museum Residence, a fabulous & lovely Peranakan boutique hotel with great collection of antiques & artifacts, compliments with lovely plants & flowers. The staff are very helpful & polite. The owner takes a lot of pride in the hotel & her collection, taking time to explain on the history. The hotel is so kind & generous to offer breakfast for us (although it is not in the package), allowing us to have a taste their home cooked nasi lemak, laksa, prawn noodles, chicken rice balls, fried bee hoon, prata, butter&kaya toast, the assortment of Nyonya kuehs.

    I loved our stay at this lovely hotel. Located by the Melaka river in the heart of the town, it is in a fantastic spot to begin your exploration. The breakfasts served at the hotel are wonderful and tasty spreads of the paranakan cuisine that helped us understand the culture, tradition and history of the unique melting pot that Melaka is. The staff are very kind and welcoming and they made sure our stay went marvelously well.

    1. I think the room is a bit congested, I suggest relooking into this 2. Only display those are needed and maybe an empty small table is needed for guests to put their small belonging like wallets, watch, spectacle and etc

    Breakfast is fantastic and the host is great at getting personnel in touch The staff is good and excellent Overall, the Environment is great and clean especially when we need to take off our shoes and go upstairs, this is something new and good, maybe add a shoe rack on the ground floor so we can put shoes more organized

    Our room (207) was facing a really busy street. The noise level made sleeping impossible until 1am and then after 5:30 am. The room is windowless for all practical purposes, because of its location. It didn't feel luxurious at all.

    Wonderful staff. It almost hurts to say negative things about the place but truth needs to be told Beautiful common area

    1. Staff quality and training, though helpful, needs a bit more polishing, though, granted that its more of a "homestay" type of hotel, its already not too bad 2. Honestly, at this price range, one would have easily compared it against the MNC brands like Four Seasons, Marriot etc, so I think if you are looking beyond the exquisite architecture and getting yourself inundated in peranakan treasures, then you'd be in for a little disappointment when it comes to service quality and the like that makes it "worth paying for", since its the most expensive hotel around in Malacca, it's fair to subject 5 Heeren to the greatest scrutiny!

    1. It was a beautiful hotel with all the trinkets and curiosities of the past, so if you are a history lover or someone who loves peranakan architecture and treasures in general, it would have made yours a great stay! 2. Great personal touches with the breakfast served at 5 Heeren, a lovely spread of quality peranakan food served, all homemade with love and painstakingly prepared by the staff at the hotel. 3. Full privacy once behind the glass doors, since outsiders are not allowed in, definitely a great plus point if you want to stay away from all the nosy crowds and the tourists along Jonker Street.

    Our room was facing the street so it can get very noisy at night , with the "pikachu" songs playing.

    Very unique, cozy and lovely hotel. Friendly owner, gave us very warm welcome and explained a lot of things. The hotel is full of interesting design and things to see and explore. The room size is adequate, comfortable, with a traditional bed. It also locates in the center of the city, within walking distance to all the attractions and things to do.

    The tricicles go around at night and make a lot of noise with their music. Try to get a room facing the river.

    If you like old colonial houses, you'd love this place. It is like living in a museum! really nice and close to city center.

    This is a unique place to stay. The building is old and decorated with antiquity and old knick-knacks, but the bedrooms and bathrooms are totally modernised. The owner was a fantastic hostess, and the staff were friendly and attentive. Breakfast was amazing with local delicacies. Next time I am in Malacca, this will be where I will want to stay.
