Liked: We really enjoyed our stay at the Riverview Guesthouse. The owners (Mani and Raymond) were probably amongst the nicest guesthouse owners we have met on our travels over the last 8 months. If Mani and Raymond were not around Faisal would be there and he was also extemely helpful and nice. The guesthouse rooms were good size and clean. The location was excellent being 5-10 mins from most attractions/restaurants. It was also very nice to be given a detailed map and talk about Melaka when we arrived (along with a cold drink!). We found numerous restaurants and sights as a result. On top of this all they provide delicious cakes! Beware the giant lizards along the river though!! =) Highly recommended.

14 December 2009 Jacob, Jason would recommend this property
Liked: The owners are very helpful and will give you an orientation of the area when you check in. If we had stayed here longer than one night we probably would have taken advantage of the advice. We did eat at some of the recommended restaurants which were fantastic! The hostel itself is clean, there is a computer and wifi available and a self-catering kitchen. We would recommend this place to everyone without exception. We would return if we ever come back to Melaka...wish we had more than 1 day to explore it.

Liked: its an old building...but they renovate it to a good place to sleep..really cozy and fun...especially the view from the back terrace.for me its kinda new experience to slept in historical building, especially the wooden floor, it really need some ability for you to walk gently so u wont disturb the other guests with ur footsteps.also for Raymond and Mani, they really helpful and very friendly to all guests. they provide a lot of information for us (becoz this was the first time for us to visit Melaka).but most of all i just want to say that it is really a good place for u to stay and feel like home..enjoy it... :D

Liked: It's a great choice of accommodation in Malacca: Value for money, cleanliness and especially very helpful and friendly staff. The only problem is that it's quite noisy during the night(vehicles and people passing by), so if you have problem with your sleep, it might not be for you.
