Hip Boutique Hotel in the Heart of Malacca!
Fantastic location surrounded by sights of Malacca! Clean and decent place to lay your head after a long day out sightseeing. Areas for improvement: Stable/reliable WiFi connection, breakfast options for vegetarians.

Would stay again
Great location, very clean, exactly as pictured. My only complaints- 1) the walls are quite thin, so you can hear your neighbors’ every move, 2) the WiFi doesn’t have a good signal and annoyingly you must refresh your access every 30 minutes. Other than these two things, it was a great stay.

New and comfortable hotel with exceptional service from the front desk employee. Only area for improvement: the whole washroom gets wet after shower.

4/10 Fair

Good location but noisy.
Rooms are not soundproof.can hear the slamming of doors & noises etc. The sink is outside the bathroom. Water flood in the bathroom to the toilet bowl area after every bath. Terrible. It’s the design flaw. Housekeeping is terrible, did not refill toilet roll, tissue box, sleepers etc. The windows faced a concrete wall, cleverly decorated with plastic plants. But the room looks dark.

Excellent!
I had a splendid stay at The Rucksack Caratel - Jonker Wing. Initially we walked to the Garden Wing, and thankfully the staff guided us the way to the Jonker Wing (only a 8-10 min walk away) and even provided their own customised map of Malacca together with a list of food places recommended. We used the list to visit many places and enjoyed the food so much. The room was amazing - comfortable and did not lack any facilities, not to mention the affordable rates. Staff was also very friendly and helpful. Breakfast served was pretty good too. Highly recommended place to stay at, would stay there again if I return to Malacca.

Spectacular Rucksack
The stay was awesome. It was only there when I realized that the location of the hotel is almost at the center of places of interest. Just a reminder that if you want to have your room cleaned, you have to hang the clean up room tag at the door, unlike in hotels, no need to do this.

Highly recommended, especially if it’s your first visit to Melaka. Beside the superb location; the room is clean and comfortable. The hotel staff (Daniel) was super friendly and helpful!

Chic hotel room, very comfortable!
I spent a lot of time trying to find the right place in Melaka. I was going to be traveling solo for the first time and wanted a room that would be comfortable as well as a location that would be convenient. Upon checking in at Rucksack, I was greeted by a very friendly woman at reception who provided a map and made great restaurant recommendations for dinner that night. I didn't realize I would need to put down 100 Ringit deposit, so be sure to have cash handy. In terms of the hotel itself, the lobby area was slightly different than what I expected but had everything you could need - good lounge space and a delicious breakfast buffet (I enjoyed the waffles and maple syrup each morning). The room was fantastic. I felt like I was in a chic NY city boutique hotel that would cost $500 a night. The location was steps from Dutch Square, the river, and Jonker Street (though be aware that the market there only takes place on weekends). I would absolutely recommend this place!

The location is really ideal for a weekend getaway to Malacca. It is just a 3 minutes walk to Jonker Street and the Riverside. The room is cosy and the hotel staff are really friendly. The breakfast spread is not a lot, but it is simple and good. It is also very convenient to explore Malacca from the hotel's location! There is nothing not to like about this space (:

Fantastic place, with a small HeadsUp...
Fantastic place but with a BUT... I loved the location, right next to Christ Church, very clean and polite service. The rooms were positively different and really enjoyed how it was BUT... in the grand rooms with windows, the street with heavy traffic is just 2-3 meters from the windows. High noise all night and I would NOT stay in the grand rooms again. However, I was informed that the Putery rooms are all the way in the Back and super quiet. I would come back, I would stay in the same hotel but I would pick that room and not the grand room due to noise. Everything else was really positive!

6/10 Good

Good location but basics are lacking
This is a new hotel situated in close proximity to the central sights in Malacca. It has a hip vibe with pop art and signs featuring the local slang expressions and colourful furnishing. I found the hotel pleasant and room very clean and beautiful. The hotel staff was attentive and the whole check-in process was smooth and efficient. While the hotel is overall good, it lacks in some basic areas and for these reasons I won't stay here again.: The room is equipped with shampoo, body wash, and toothbrush, and a hairdryer but you won't find other amenities. The walls are very thin and I woke up in the middle of the night to the sound of my next door neighbours fighting and yelling. Breakfast is provided over an unreasonably short window of 8:00-10:00 am and the food is not that good (they only provide instant coffee, for example). There is a restaurant menu that only includes American style fried food (think burgers and fries) but no healthier options, drink menu that only includes beer but not wine. The hotel faces one of the main streets that has a constant flow of traffic and crossing it makes it a pain. Despite these issues, the hotel is clean, brand new, beautifully furnished (targeting the young 20s crowd), and reasonably priced. It is a 1-2 minute walk to Christ Church, so definitely stay here if you'd like to be near the sights! For me, I feel like I'm a bit old for the place (I'm in my late 30s)-- would stay elsewhere next time.
