Plenty of Parking

I was pleasantly surprised by the ample parking available at The Sterling Boutique Hotel. Given its proximity to Jonker Street, having plenty of parking space was a huge relief and made our stay incredibly convenient. We were able to park without any hassle, which is not easy to find in Melaka.

Spacious Balinese-Style Bathroom

I absolutely loved the spacious Balinese-style bathroom in our Deluxe Family Suite. The double sink and spacious layout made it so easy for our family to use without stepping on each other's toes. It was a true delight to have such an expansive area to get ready in every morning.

Nice TV Setup, But Needs Improvement

Our room had a really nice setup with a TV fitted into the wall panel, which was a stylish touch. However, the channel reception was a bit spotty at times, which was frustrating when trying to unwind in the evening. Still, I appreciated the effort in creating a cozy entertainment space.

Spacious Family Room

The Deluxe Family Suite was incredibly spacious, perfect for our family. With two double beds and plenty of room to move around, we felt comfortable during our stay. The clean linen and amenities provided made it feel welcoming right from the start.

There were issues with the staff response, and the lack of food and beverage options didn’t help the overall experience much.
