Melaka Hotels with Pools

The hotel sits right along the Melaka River, offering daytime views over stretches of red-tiled heritage rooftops and lovely riverside light views at night. It's just a short walk to the Stadthuys (Dutch Square) and the Melaka River Cruise jetty. It's a classic, older hotel with vintage decor and somewhat dated facilities, but overall it is well-maintained—rooms are clean, and all the basics work properly. The breakfast deserves special praise: with a great variety and delicious options, it was definitely a highlight of the stay. Summary: Highly recommended if you prioritize great views, easy access to the historic city center, and don't mind the retro charm of a heritage property.

A great experience worth sharing! My stay here was really enjoyable and excellent value for money. The room had plenty of amenities, and there were great recreational facilities for the whole family, like a large adult swimming pool, a mini theme park for kids, and even a snack and drink kiosk for everyone.

I had a wonderful stay! The hotel is clean and tidy, the rooms are spacious and comfortable with soft beds and fully equipped facilities, creating a warm and relaxing atmosphere. The staff were very friendly, welcoming, and polite, and both check-in and check-out were smooth. The location is also very convenient with easy transportation nearby, making getting around a breeze. From cleanliness and environment to service, everything was done exceptionally well, and it offers great value for money. Overall, it was a fantastic stay, and I will definitely choose to stay here again given the chance. Highly recommended!

Very Disappointing Experience Unfortunately, this was one of the most disappointing hotel experiences I’ve had, especially considering the standards I would expect from Courtyard by Marriott. The check-in process was unnecessarily slow. The reception staff did not make us feel welcomed and appeared more focused on their work than assisting guests efficiently. We booked a city view room, but there was hardly any view at all — the room faced another building directly, which was very disappointing. The most concerning issue, however, was at the swimming pool. One of the guests accidentally stepped on broken glass, and a broken glass bottle was subsequently found in the pool. This is a serious safety concern. Fortunately, we had not yet entered the pool ourselves. Overall, the experience was far below what I would expect from a Courtyard by Marriott property. From the slow check-in and lack of hospitality to the disappointing room view and, most importantly, the serious swimming pool safety issue, this hotel needs significant improvement. For a Courtyard by Marriott, this is honestly the worst experience I’ve had.

The interior design is beautiful. Living room is spacious. This unit has sea view at a distance. The condo is a service apartment. Hence, there is traffic jam at the lobby area during check in and check out time due to self collect and return access card at the postal box. There are 4 lifts. During check in and check out time, this is another choke point. Very long wait, 3 rounds of lift all full to the max.

I stayed at this unit on 1st August 2026 (Sat - Sun). While I checked in around 10:00 PM and understood that immediate late-night fixes might be difficult, the condition of the unit and the host’s clueless, irresponsible handling made this stay unacceptable for the price paid. The host hides behind an automated AI system that spits out completely inaccurate, unhelpful, and generic replies. After wasting precious time forcing my way through to a human, the support was even worse. When I brought up all the missing facilities I had paid for, they turned around and asked me ”what they could do for me” instead of taking charge responsibility. I shouldn't have to tell a host how to run a proper accommodation when I paid full price for the listed amenities. - The floors were sticky and stained. Cleaners were sent immediate in 10 mins, change the floor bucket by using the kitchen sink. - The bedsheets that weren't even the proper fitted size for the bed. - The washing machine failed to function (told me that its broken), and the Wi-Fi/TV setup didn't work (we were absurdly told the Wi-Fi modem was located in a completely different unit's ceiling!, the cleaner told this is New Unit, Wifi Havent install !) - The master bedroom water heater was broken, they went and check, then left the floor with dirty foodprints. Since the water heater couldn't be fixed at night, their ”solution” was to send a technician at 10:30 AM the next morning, offering a late check-out until 1:00 PM or 2:00 PM as ”compensation.” Offering extra hours in a broken, dirty unit while forcing guests to sacrifice their privacy and endure technician repairs on their final morning is not compensation... Instead of offering a proper refund or a fair remedy, the host simply offered copy & pasted apologies (”sorry for the inconvenience caused”), took our money, and left us to tolerate their mess. This host fails to take responsibility even for basic, functional essentials. I’d be better off staying in a homestay or a simple hostel bunk bed. Save your money and avoid Alviv Homestay entirely. Preferring another host for this property as a returning guest. Love the property itself, great location, easy parking, smooth check-in, and low lift wait times.

Very comfortable hotel with a pool, suitable for kids. Great location near the River Cruise jetty, and walking distance to Dataran Pahlawan along the riverside path. Beautiful views... worth it. Shops, especially Speedmart99 and Mamak Sri Sahabat, have really delicious and affordable food. The staff, from top to bottom, are all kind, friendly, and welcoming. You should definitely stay at this hotel... it's worth it. I stayed 1 night, then extended to 3 nights! 😆😆

The hotel rooms were very big, clean and came with all the amenities you would need for a self-catered stay. The view was also very good. The WhatsApp service is very efficient with fast and helpful responses. Would highly recommend. 👍

No water dispenser provided at all!!! The room also lacks sufficient power outlets; if your phone is charging, you can't use the bedside lamp. You constantly have to unplug things, which is very inconvenient. It would be much better if they could provide a water dispenser. Finding food near the hotel is super convenient, thumbs up 👍🏻

Overall, the experience was acceptable the ocation was convenient about a 10-15 minute ride to the city centre, which made getting around quite easy. However, there were several issues during our stay Cleanliness: We noticed some smallinsects on the floor. While it didn't significantly affect aur stay, it would be better if the rooms could be more thoroughly checked and cleaned. Customer Service: All communication had to be done online through WhatsApp, as there was no face-to-face front desk service. This was quite unconventional and sometimes made things less convenient when we needed assistance urgently. Room Equipment: One of the air conditioners in our room kept switching on and off by itself and wasn't functioning properly. Even more concerning, the hairdryer had a short circuit, produced a burning smell, and even sparked flames. This was a frightening experience, and although it was eventually replaced, waiting a full day for such a serious issue was very disappointing.
