Accommodation Information

Experience staying in a double storey pre-war shop-house that has been refurbished without compromising the exterior façade. River View Guest House just opened its doors in April 2009. It offers the comforts of home and at the same time, able to cater to the needs of travelers on a budget.

All rooms have windows. Towels are provided for guest use. There is a sitting, TV and dining area with a kitchen for light cooking. Drinking water, coffee and tea is provided complimentary.

The first floor terrace has a magnificent view of the Melaka River snaking majestically through traditional Melaka shop-houses and homes (thus the name of the guest house). You could sit here in the evening, drink beer and watch the boats go by or just take a walk along the river, which is brightly and beautifully lighted at night. This is true local living.
