A Memorable Week in Melaka- Lunar New Year 2025

4.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 5 weeks ago
A Memorable Stay at the Pines Melaka (3 to 8 February 2025)

Unlike the previous years in Penang, this was the first time I was in Melaka during the Lunar New Year & I did not know what to expect ...
Yet, Deo Gratias ( Thanks be to God ) , it turn out to be a very pleasant and memorable week in Melaka!

I was surrounded by many Godsent Angels & friends at the Pines Melaka who welcomed me with their sincere and friendly hospitality, in authentic Melakan style! They went out of their way to provide great customer service, with a class of touch.

In their own unique way, from the day of my arrival till my departure, I enjoyed my stay as a Friend of the The Pines (this was my second time staying at the Pines).

The overall excellent & consistent customer service rendered with a smile always with its prompt efficiency is indeed a class of touch from the Front Desk to Room Service, Housekeeping and F&B!

The big pleasant surprise came on Wednesday morning of 5 February at the Hotel Lobby- there was a Lion Dance at 10am! It was so exciting and rejuvenating to watch the fireworks crackling continuously amidst the vibrant prancing lions and the team dressed in bright red and gold costumes! I almost joined in the dance, as i enjoyed the lively tempo of the drumbeats and the entire lively performance, which captivated everyone present!

Indeed, I am glad to have returned to stay at the Pines again.
I would like to thank the entire Team at the Pines for making my stay at the Pines a truly pleasant and memorable one, this Lunar New Year.

Keep up the good work & my Best Wishes to everyone!

Kind Regards
Josephine Ng from Singapore

This is a comfortable and well located hotel for visiting Melaka. Staff were friendly and helpful, the hotel clean and well presented. Breakfast was plentiful in choice but not targeting western tastes perhaps.
The river sits just alongside with a water taxi stand into the centre of town, and a short walk up river to the start point of the river tour boats. Walk to Jonker street is about 1.2km.

Our second time stay at this hotel within 3 months period, this property is charming and we had a comfortable stay in our two Junior suites. Friendly and accommodative staffs, spacious big room with a mini kitchenette, great fluffy pillow and and bed, we still had quality of sleep even though our room level is accessible to the pool with children running around happily. However, we wish to have more Tv channels instead of locals only and more variety of breakfast spread and add more desserts and local kuih rather than just fruits. Overall, we enjoy our stay and of course will return here again for our future stay

The vicinity is just nice. Not too situated in high traffic yet not far from the city. The view from the 26th floor is lovely. Rooms are clean. Has a bathtub too.
The staff are friendly and professional.
The breakfast buffet is super good with ample varieties.
We had catered dinner there for 28 pax. Food was good and the servings were plenty. Pricing was super good too.
I have no complaints.
I will definately come back and I highly recommend The Pines for your next stay.
Keep up the good work!!

First I have to give credit to the location. River Melaka is right behind the hotel with a nice and clean board walk along the river. It is within walking distance to most popular places like China town, India town and the main square. However, it was so hot (31 degrees), I was not able to enjoy my walk. Had to take Grab everywhere we went.
The rest was not that great. There was not a concierge or bell boy to help with luggage upon check in/out. The hotel had seen better days! Everything was so dated. The room was large but bare, all furniture looked cheap. Flakes from the ceiling kept falling down on a daily basis, I guess it was from dry paint of some sort. And a musty smell from the room too. It was so bad but we only had 4 nights so I didn’t bother asking for another room, not really sure we would get a better one. I also found some clip on the face towel. Lucky I did not scratch my face with this towel.
Breakfast choices are limited, no pastries at all. Menus almost remained same every day.
