Great room, amazing breakfast
Reviewed By 235shauntLike most doubletree hotels, we were greeted with the warm delicious cookies. We were here during the long holiday weekend so the hotel was pretty packed. I had a low floor corner room which allowed us to have some sea view (better than none!), but our sea view was partly blocked by another residential building opposite. The room had a bathtub and shower combo which we enjoyed a lot after a long day outside in the heat. we had no noise issues during a peak period so I guess the rooms are pretty well designed for insulating noise. We sure were well rested despite the crowd. Given my Hilton diamond status, we were able to enjoy some simple afternoon tea and drinks at the lobby cafe (sadly no executive lounge was available). The food was unremarkable and pretty similar to the breakfast food ( more on that next). So if you have some status don’t expect the usual high floor views, tea and evening canapés at most Hilton properties. A highlight for us was the international breakfast. The international spread was amazing and there was so much to choose from! It was also so delicious. This makes us want to come back again if we ever return to this historic town.

Bad experience
Reviewed By AKHC99Cleanliness: Very Bad (dirty toilet bowl, seat, basin, mirror, bathroom, and even yellow stain on bedsheet and pillow) Check-in: Very Slow (only 1 receptionist or at most 2 during peak hour, and they have so many rooms, u can imagine how slow it is, 1 room takes 15 mins to complete check-in) Breakfast buffet: Crowded (need to queue very long every morning) Room condition: Aged... Overall, it is a 2/3 star hotel! Does not deserve 4 stars. RM1,200 per night for a suite?? Go for it and good luck.

Secured parking
Reviewed By mabeline88The hotel is a little old but decent since hotels near jonker are mostly boutiques. The hotel came with an open carpark designated to hotel guests. The barricade only comes down at 1am. There is a security guard patrolling the carpark. Attached pictures for interest. Went on a sun- Tue. On weekdays there are some company events and parking lots could be crowded in the day but still there were space. The hotel is located in the little India streets hence all around were indian stalls. Pillows were alittle too soft but bed was good. Overall acceptable with advantage of location

Wouldn't stay here if not for the location
Reviewed By L-SihuiWe booked the Hatten Premier Suite last week and stayed for 4 days 3 nights. We arrived around 7.30pm in the evening and the room was ready upon check in. After which we went for dinner as it was late and headed back to the room, half way while I was showering my child, my child told me the bottom of his feet hurts, to my horror he stepped onto some sharp white pieces which seems to be broken ceramic in the shower. Tried dialing the reception or operator but there was no one picking up the phone at the other end, it was soooooo hard to reach someone. I had to head down to the reception to look for the manager, no explanations were given only 'im sorry, i will get housekeeping to the room to vacuum the area. Housekeeping came but it was only a few seconds into vacuuming, the vacuum broke down - it was already around 11.10pm. The person said they would return but they did not even after waiting for 25mins. I rang the reception twice during the wait to request a call back and for the manager to come to our room, as the vacuum let out a horrible smell which made the whole room smell like garbage area. As we did not manage to get anyone, I went to down again at around 11.40pm, but guess what? There was not accountability and the previous manager DID NOT ask for any follow up. The previous manager happily went back home, the housekeeping did not come and finish what's suppose, there's no explaination neither service recovery for what has happened. My kids eventually only manage to sleep after another round of screaming at the reception with housekeeping coming up and doing what's supposed - it has already past 12 midnight. Of course, other than the first episode of sharp objects identified in the shower, it was also identified in the carpet in front of the toilet in the master bedroom, the toilet bowl was always leaking water (unable to flush properly after using), the aircon in the room are also making loud noises. The breakfast was so-so, wouldn't recommend, you could get way better breakfast options and less crowd elsewhere. Did i mention that a day after check out, they had the cheek of overcharging my card for another room which we only stayed for 01 night. The person who called sounded so confused and couldn't explain why did they charge that extra night, stating it was a mistake. In the first place, we only stayed for 01 night and paid cash in full upon check-in. The person who checked us in, even stated that they did have our card details and requested for payment, so that's obvious a lie - beware people! I think the only good experience we had was with the porter that assisted us with our stuffs when we arrived and provided us with useful information. All in all, it was a bad experience - you pitch yourself as a 4 star hotel, providing luxurious stay and good experience BUT WHAT IS THIS? Paying a premium price for a premium room which is not upkeep to standard? If not for the location, I wouldn't had stayed here. During our entire stay, there was no follow up, no service recovery, no courtesy calls - i guess the hotel doesn't require repeat business and couldn't care less? If your management couldn't care less about guest experiences, doesn't bother about guest feedbacks - guests like us suffers and wouldn't ever be back!

WORST HOTEL STAY
Reviewed By Sunz Suniza HI chose this hotel because of the location near to most tourist attractions in Ayer Keroh. I paid RM293.50 x2 Deluxe Room since I asked for a connecting door room for my teen. Room has 1 queen bed 1 single bed but it was too small a deluxe type of room. Perhaps 3 feets walking area between beds & wall. Basic amenities. But my worst nigtmare, there was NO IRON inside the room. Claimed to be a 4 star rated hotel but no iron? We’re in 2022 & there’s still hotel doesn’t provide in room ironing set. The hotel has placed a shared iron at the far end of the corridor to be shared amongst all rooms on the floor. And there was NO hook or cloth rack to put our cloth during ironing session. I’ve to hang my blouse at the exit door knob. Just imagine guests at the opposite ends meee to go out just to use the iron. And the hotel took advantage by offering an ironing service for those guests that they called “lazy” to iron. Yes, I would opt for this option since they didn’t provide iron inside the room & I don’t trust the shared iron not to burn my silk & satin blouses & scarves. So I called 0 to request for ironing service and the staff told me they had no staff to do it ?? please bear in mind I went there during weekends and they should expect more guests during this time. Breakfast on the next day also worst. Breakfast time is from 7am-10am. My family came down around 8:45am, still early in my opinion. But there was no cereal bowl left on the counter. No plate left on the main menu counter. Staff didn’t check or topup all those crockery. Breakfast spread was okay. Nothing much to expect. 2 types of Cereals, breads, omelette, mee soup, nasi lemak, fried noodle, salads & porridge. Baked bean & chicken slice was gone and wasn’t refill. Tbh, I will avoid this hotel in future.

A MODERN HERITAGE HOTEL - Immerse in Malacca's Living Legacies An atmospheric pre-war building, nestled within the core of Malacca's Jonker Street, is reimagined into an intimate hotel that celebrates the city’s past and present. Timez Modern Heritage Boutique Hotel presents 12 individually-designed rooms and 3 suites, each an ode to Malacca’s vaunted history that spans several centuries.
Wheelchair-friendly Hotel
Reviewed By morethanblueThe location of the hotel is superb! It’s situated right in the heart of jonker walk, so it’s really convenient to get to most of the city’s attractions on foot. Staff were also helpful and the hotel provided free breakfast which had decent options like american breakfast set / fried rice / sandwiches etc. Above all, the hotel is wheelchair friendly. Not many properties are wheelchair friendly in malacca. One thing to note though, it’s a little difficult to get a wheelchair into the bathroom due to the limited space between the bathroom’s sliding door. Still, it was a comfortable and decent stay for my family.

Family Friendly Hotel
Reviewed By Darien KVery spacious and comfortable room which suitable for family. Love the location of this hotel which near to town, melaka river cruise, a Nadeje mille crepe cake shop, 7-Eleven & a huge hawker stall all nearby. Kid's enjoyed the swimming pool and playground a lot. We shall try the pool suite next time. One of the best hotel to stay in melaka. However check in staff services could be better and more friendly. No greeting by the Indian lady and her voice tone is a bit rude talking to customers and a lot of information was not informed if i dont ask for it. Its different from another malay lady during check out which is more professional and friendly.
