Description
Elegant, charming yet inexpensive! Eastern Heritage is one of the oldest buildings in town which has neo-classical European architecture. Built in 1918, it is the only guesthouse in Melaka to have floral and pictorial motifs grace parts of the front of the house while the interior is adorned with intricately carved fittings finished in gold leaf. The guesthouse has lots of character with original ornamentation, tiling and carved panelling. The rooms are mostly typical guesthouse rooms, freshly painted in a pseudo art deco style. There is a nice plunge pool which was built specially for our guests who would like a dip after a hot day around town. For those who like to sunbathe, we have the perfect balcony for you to do so.The guesthouse is situated in the town centre which is next to Chinatown and less than 5 minutes walk from the historical areas.There are single/double rooms available with a fan and there are dormitory rooms available for those on a budget.
Dirty, grimy rooms, lousy service. Owner came back drunk and scolded us for making noise when we were talking quietly, then went to wake up guests in the rooms to tell them to scold us if we were too loud and disturbing them. Overall, horrible service, horrible stay.
