I have been one of the many who booked Majestic Hotel Kuala Lumpur and got another night's voucher at Majestic Melaka Hotel. Due to the rising COVID19 cases, I was quite worried initially but was looking forward for a short trip to Melaka. In order to address the COVID19 concern, I have taken a few precautions including not visiting indoor tourist attractions, only visit open air areas and less crowded areas and going for meals extra early (i.e. 5.30pm and 11.30am).
Upon arrival at Majestic Melaka Hotel, I was greeted by the hotel butler who checked my name against his guest list. I was told that I can park my car temporarily near the entrance for check-in. The check-in was immediate and brisk. We were shown to the lift to our room (as the hotel is uniquely designed due to the mix of an old building + modern tower wing). I must say both Majestic Hotels in Kuala Lumpur and Melaka shared the same English style feel and maintain the attraction of having a nice bathtub. They also included a capsule type coffee machine from Boncafe. Although as a coffee lover, I drink Lavazza or Illy regularly and would 'complain' that Boncafe doesn't taste as good, but I suppose the coffee is definitely better than the sachets of Nescafe that we normally see in hotel.
I was given a room at the top floor (Level 10) and it's right in front of the lift. The room is adequately sized (~400sqft) and I must say the views at night is fantastic. The bathroom takes up about 30% of the room space already due to the nice bathtub (that's one of the main selling point of the hotel). However, the utilization of louvered doors (can be fully opened so that you can still look at the TV while soaking in the bathtub) helped in giving the feeling of spaciousness. Let's look at the photos below.

The hotel is no doubt small in size but despite the size, the amenities are adequate for guests. Not many who come to Melaka would like to stay just in the hotel (unlike some beach resorts where the whole idea is to go to the beach and stay around the hotel and use the facilities). Most of us would like to venture out and just come back to the hotel for a good rest and chill.
Let's have a closer look at the room.

The room is very comfortable and coupled with good night view, it's very relaxing. The icing on top of the cake is the bathtub where you can soak your feet and body in the warm water after a long day of walking and food hunting within Melaka town. Also, the nice thing is Kg Morten is just right opposite and you can just cross the bridge for a relaxing walk and sight seeing at both the village and Melaka River.
