The Pines Melaka

I had the executive twin room with balcony, located at the 26th floor. The view is absolutely fantastic. Certainly worth the price that you paid for. Beautiful view of the beach, city, river, and other Malacca attractions. The room might appear small initially, but once you open the curtains and sliding door to the balcony, it becomes huge. The bathroom is also about the size of the room with bathtubs and showers available. Parking is nice, just take a ticket from the gate machine when you come in, and present it during check out to be reimbursed. You can use your hotel room card as parking pass when you exit throughout your stay. Twin beds are very comfortable. Creates a nice separation with your partner. Receptionists and other staffs were very friendly to us. Always replying our answer with patience and a smile, and always willing to assist or help when we needed it. Riverside walkway is available at the back of the hotel. Do note that the gate closes at 11pm, so if you return much later than that from you enjoying the nightlife, do enter the hotel through the main road.

Cleanliness, accessibility, convenient, free parking, clean parking floors. The best part, the room has a small pantry and kitchen table n chairs. Big thumbs up! So easy to drive to Ley Park station at ayer keroh. Direct driving route to the hotel from kampung Jawa. You can rent a bicycle to ride along the melaka river and it’s near the Melaka river cruise jetty. You can cross a small bridge to the Kampung Morten, where there are many food stalls and walk around the village to look at the Malay kampung houses. There is a small restaurant opposite the hotel lobby selling delicious kuay teow goreng. They are open for breakfasts and open on Saturdays n Sundays too.

We booked the suite and the room was large, very roomy with a day bed. Not much of a view from the odd numbered room side of the building however. Parking was easy and plentiful. The hotel is right next to the Melaka river which is a nice walk in the evening. There is a bridge that leads across the river to Kampung Morten where you have options for dinner at night.

Room was big and comfortable. Hot water for showering was very good, had good pressure and constant. I did not have to constantly adjust the hot water. Located near to two large food court that had a good representation of local food. One across the main road and the other beside the hotel along the river. Breakfast had good quality and quantity of food both local and western. Location to Jonker street is about 2km along the river bank. During the night the lights light up beautifully especially Morten bridge. 7 Eleven just beside the hotel on the main road about 2 mins walk without crossing main road. Hotel is at the edge of the city center so not to far and not to near.

The location and heritage view are absolutely the winner! Next to the river & a good 5-10 mins walk to local restaurants. Breakfast is also quite a good spread & delicious. Dont forget to try Hainan Milk Tea...really good. Will come again.
