ASIA MELAKA HOTEL managed by The Straits Hotel & Suites

This was my second stay at the Asia Hotel Malacca, which was renovated in 2025. Surprisingly, the bathroom was leaking and water was flowing into the living room (see picture). I had to be very careful to avoid slipping 😬 The first time I stayed here, it was called the Straits Hotel & Suites. Overall, the three-night stay was quite good 😊 I would definitely stay here again. Hopefully, they won't assign me room 1611 again next time🤞

Location near many amenities and shopping centres especially Dataran & Markota Parade. Cleanliness is acceptable and good. Service as above average. Facilities - overall outlook as projected and neat & tidy. Internet connection intermittent (no sure what the reason - however, always have no issue of whilst in other hotels in Melaka). TV channels not clear to watch (anyway don't really watch TV).

Wasn't expecting much for a one night stay at this price point. However, was disappointed to find that the toilet was rather dirty and one of the drawers had some wet coffee spilt in it. Front desk staff was very slow, couldn't quite communicate in basic English, and wanted to use her hp to take photo of my passport on the pretext that the copier is faulty. When declined, the copper miraculously worked. Staff had also asked to collect more than the amount that was reflected in the app. If I didn't check the app and refuse to pay what was unstated, she would have insisted on payment as tough it was a routine fee to be paid. The entire check in process was simply puzzling. Unlikely to come back again.

Check in hotel, 2 lift cards were given. Was trying to enter the room without success, went lobby to check and realised room key card was not given. Toilet bidet was faulty, need to turn off or else water will flow. Aircon was good throughout our stay. The balcony door was faulty unable to lock it. One plus point was right below our hotel there were plenty of eating places and walking to Jonker Street was convenient taking some short cuts.
