You will have a problem to find this guesthouse if you dont have gps or not know well this area because of the signboard is small but the easiest hint is you can look for traveler planet hotel and it just in front of it. All basic amenities are sufficient and you need to bring your own toiletries except shower gel(provided in toilet). Location is nice because most of attraction at Malacca town can reach by walking, very near. Overall, very good budget guesthouse.

I was positively surprised by the place since it looked better in reality than on the pictures! The staff was super friendly. The only problems had was the weak light in the room and the door which was hard to lock from outside. Other than that, I trully enjoyed my stay.

Simple, well priced budget guesthouse
This is a very economical guesthouse. The rooms have very thin walls and the first room we were given had a window shared by two rooms meaning we heard everything from the other room's occupants. However the staff are very keen/helpful and friendly and moved us to another quieter room as soon as we asked. The breakfast is simple and adequate and the communal bathroom is kept clean. Certainly is a good deal for the low price and would recommend this to travellers on a budget.

Stay at Lavender Guesthouse
The room is small n just nice which is understoodable. Only can fit 1 person to stand to do prayer. Luckily we took a room with aircond so that's the only thing we feel so thankful. The toilet is the worst. Shared bathroom is okay for us but need to upgrade its condition. Shower head not well functioning. In overall, it is just fine for a room with the price of rm50 per night. Suitable just to sleep after tired of sightseeing for whole day.

You get what you pay. Staying on third floor but only have 1 bathroom with toilet. Need to upgrade and add a toilet. The room is great but quite noisy on Saturday midnight because of the garbage lorry. Overall, I will stay here again because the hostel is situated within a walk distance to night market and historical places.

Horrible and unpleasant stay!
It was very horrible and unpleasant stay. Toilet/tap water was running too slow that I can't even take a shower. There were also some cockroaches flying in my room. The towel given was also in bad condition and it's like "kain buruk". I'm definitely not coming back to this hotel.

Du får vad du betalar för
Vi fick ett varmt välkomnande av en glad personal. Killen som ägde stället hade alltid ett leende på läpparna och frågade om vi hade det bra, så personalen får ett plus. Det skulle dock behöva renoveras och grovstädas. Det är ett bra område och ett bra backpack alternativ

十分适合背包族
这是一家家庭式的民宿，服务员都很友善，房间比较大，但是公共浴室的水压很低，水流很慢。旅店在购物广场附近，离红屋广场大概五分钟的路程，沿着马六甲河一直走就可以看到荷兰红屋到鸡场街的桥。楼下就是夜市，很热闹但是不会觉得很吵。大路边没有明显的公交站牌，所以坐公车去汽车站有点麻烦。

super friendly host, mediocre facilities
The guesthouse owner did his best to make sure we felt welcome, and he was very helpful.The room came with free breakfast of toast and jam, with all-day free coffee or tea. The AC worked well. The room and shared bathroom were very clean, and someone cleaned the common areas every day. There was hot water in the shower. However, there was hardly any water coming out of the showerhead, the rooms and bathrooms are small, and the walls are very thin. We also had to kill one big cockroach, but considering the overall cleanliness of the place, it was probably just bad luck.
