I rated 8 because the bed sheets ,duvet covers and pillow cases have lost their brilliance while colour. I know they are being cleaned but they are looked a bit grey. This could be problematic for someone with OCD. The section we stayed has a bad drain smell. I think the smell is from the bathroom. Perhaps this is normal for the old town in Malacca.

It was a privilege to stay in this hotel with rich heritage. The place was beautiful and the facilities were very modern to provide comfort for the guests. The location is great for all Malacca old town exploring. The hotel itself is very beautiful with courtyard and an old water well and lots antique furnitures. We took lots of pictures. The roof top bar is very beautiful. There are free towels if you like to sit on the sun chair dipped in the shallow pool.

The location is strategic, the room is clean and comfortable, the hotel aesthetic is very beautiful and instagram-worthy.

Baba House it's a very beautiful hotel in the heart of Melaka. Everything from the building, to the interior, to the plates for breakfast recall of tradition while everything is brand new. The staff is nice and welcoming.

Beautiful hotel. Modern amenities but they have conserved the original property well. We had a great breakfast in the cafe unfortunately it wasn't available on our second morning and the buffet breakfast wasn't so good. The roof terrace was lovely with individual shallow pools to cool down in. Great location in walking distance of main sites.

The carpark area is quite smelly, maybe due to sewage. The rooftop area has the same smell, too. The bathroom is spacious and it would be great if there were more hooks for towels since the room is catered for 4 people.

Booked a family suite and room was spacious and had an outdoor jacuzzi, which was a pleasant surprise. Previously the room that I stayed had a tiny window panel. Location is great too!

Very nice deco. Friendly staff. Good location

The room was relatively small and without direct light, just a small interior window. The breakfast could have more options.

Beautiful colonial building, very well decorated. Central location

It would be nice if more of the existing downstairs area could be used for breakfast.

The Baba House in Melaka met most of our expectations fully. We liked the modern interior with hints of by-gone years, cleanliness, warm hospitality, and proximity to Jonker Walk. Our room was comfortable and quiet. The only slight disappointment was the breakfast – limited options and quite crowded. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would certainly return.

Well, the cost of the rooms were steep for Malaysia's pricing.

The location in old town of Malacca was amazing - Jonker Street was a stone's throw away - and the property was just lovely. Not to mention the smell of lemongrass that permeated every corner that was both soothing and rejunevating. Oh and the private car park was such a bonus as we had driven up.

Breakfast a bit poor but it’s more like everywhere in Malaysia.

We like the staff a lot and also the facilities were very good. Location is excellent and I think that is the best hotel in town.

A small jewel in Melacca. Hotel much larger and much more spacious than it looks in the official pics. Great location, good breakfast. Bath tub on the terrace was a nice additional surprise!

You can buy soft drinks and tea in the lovely and very cool reception space, but there's no bar as such - but of course this isn't untypical of Malaysia. But there are loads of nice bars in Melaka (not least along the river), so it's not a problem even for a committed drinker like me... ;-)

This is one of the most superb hotels I've ever stayed in, for work or leisure. The moment you walk into reception you feel what a classy place it is. It's quite a new refurb, and everything is fresh and beautifully presented. Lots of displays showing aspects of the Peranakan culture that they're clearly very proud of. The Baba House is relatively expensive by Malaysian standards, but it really is worth it. The room was beautifully decorated, spacious and well-equipped (with every kind of bathroom freebie you can imagine and one or two I didn't - little bag for unused soap, anyone? :-) Great idea btw... ) The staff were all delightful and helpful. The location is excellent, on a lovely historic street parallel with Jonker Street and around seven minutes' walk from Dutch Square and the centre of things. Finally, Melaka is a wonderful little city and a joy to visit. Go if you haven't. :-)

The room rate is on the higher side. We loved the room, but you can get bigger rooms in Kuala Lumpur at this rate. The lobby air conditioner was too strong for us. The locals are used to it, but we were freezing.

Prime location in Melaka. All the tourist attractions are within walking distance of this fabulous property in Melaka. The interiors of this hotel have a Malaysian feel. The staff is attentive and check-in and check-out were a breeze. We also rented a bicycle from this hotel for a joyride around Melaka. I enjoyed my welcome drink in the nice courtyard of this hotel, which also functions as a movie hall on weekends. If the street food is not your cup of tea, there are quite a few nice restaurants near this hotel.

The breakfast was quite basic- but adequate.

Gorgeous interiors, very stylish, with cooling water features, and the courtyard at the front, set back from the street was a great place to have a drink, and they even had films projected onto the wall. I really recommend the restaurant adjacent to hotel (I forget the name - small plates). The food is superb, the people lovely, and they give a discount to hotel guests.

The initial room we booked had a smell of sewage that seemed to waft from within. This is not true of the eventual rooms we had. The lemongrass air-freshner smell which is a bit strong in the lobby makes it smell a bit like a bathroom.

This hotel is well situated and the rooms very nicely decorated. I appreciated the help given by the receptionist when we commented on the smell in our initial room, she helped by re-rooming us and we no longer had the issue.

Breakfast was ok, not really memorable . I can say the same about one dinner I had there. Staff was polite.

This is an immaculate, well located boutique hotel with endless time and thought put into the many details that give it its charm. It also has paid attention to security with multiple card triggered doors throughout. The ankle pools on the roof were delightful (although there was no one there to order drinks or snacks).

As in many other reviews, the noise being made by other (mainly Chinese) guests. Management is not doing anything about it. Kids screaming and yelling after midnight and running around on the hallways.

Perfect location. Building itself is very beautiful with artifacts everywhere.

The breakfast buffet offerings were adequate but could have been better.

Great location and beautifully restored buildings. Open air movies each evening were a plus. Courteous and helpful staff.

There’s a smell of sewage in the hotel which greets you as you enter the inner lobby. I recalled same experience when I stayed in Feb 2023. Cause likely due to enclosed structure of building. This can easily be solved with installing a few deoderiser on the wall throughout the hotel or putting essential oil burner throughout the hotel
