The Cardamom Hostel

The self‑check‑in was convenient, all communication was online, and I never saw a staff member from check‑in to check‑out; the host replied promptly. The room’s basic facilities were complete, the air‑conditioner worked well, and it met short‑term needs. The downside was that the booked room had no windows, so it felt stuffy overall; if staying longer, a windowed room would be better. The location was fairly convenient, the off‑season price was good, and it’s suitable for a simple overnight stop. I was probably in the off‑season, was the only guest at the hostel, and didn’t see anyone else, so no other drawbacks.

The longer you stay, the more you feel at home here. When you’re tired after walking around, you can just shower and rest. The backyard has a washing machine and a drying area, and the AC is strong—pretty good. The location is fantastic, right along the Malacca River, a slow walk to Jit Fong Street, which is great for a lost‑and‑found type of me, and it’s refreshing while still offering scenery, so I’d come back. Recently it’s been hot and mosquitoes are plenty, but the owner was very considerate, immediately gave me mosquito repellent, and sent daily messages checking if everything was fine, paying close attention to guests’ needs.

“Das beste hostel dass wir bis jetzt auf dieser Reise hatten”

A large room, everything clean, a washing machine available, very central, and the owner is straightforward and courteous.

The owner is the friendliest ever and even took us on a little sightseeing tour! The floor is a puzzling green, but it’s no big deal.

“a great location”

If you’re excited to walk around Malacca, this hostel is in a great spot, just a five‑minute walk from many central areas. The showers and toilets are excellent, and the owner is welcoming and ready to help with any questions. If you’re two adults, I wouldn’t recommend the bunk beds; I was worried they might collapse.
