A fantastic Hostel incredibly friendly staff and owner introduce you to all the guests which is great way to meet everyone. Really nice hangout areas and rooftop view. The beds are comfortable with privacy. Enough showers and toilets for everyone. Decent breakfast different everyday. Well worth the money would happily stay again. Having the A/C on before 4pm would be nice but no big deal

Friendly and comfortable stay
The capsule pods in the dorm room allow privacy and keep noise to a minimum. Breakfast is different every day, and the warm welcome the owner and volunteers makes this a great place to be. The roof terrace and cheap beer complete a great place to stay. Riverside Melaka and tourist sights are just a short stroll away.

A hostel with a rooftop view
It's about 5-10 mins walk to the main touristy areas in Malacca. So it's pretty convenient. The staff and owner there were generally friendly and helpful.

Great location
Thorough tour and info on arrival from josh which was really helpful. Sleeping pods were great but mine smelt very damp and the bed was quite lumpy. Cycle tour was good but the volunteers didn’t seem very enthusiastic about it. Excellent location. Would recommend it if you don’t mind putting up with a lumpy bed for a few nights.

Recommendated.
Excellent service, and get to know and chat with people from so many different country is awesome. A minor setback on aircond is quickly addressed and fixed, and the owner is so friendly i feel like he is my brother. Lol. He even let us refund the last day stay as we have to depart back home earlier due to unforseen circumstances. Another plus is we forget about the key deposit return, and owner called us promptly to take back the deposit. Location wise is superb, basically just 1 min walk to Jonker's street.

Friendly staff, nice free daily breakfast (french toast one day, pancakes the next), huge rooftop balcony. There's a daily evening bike ride around the city which is only 5 ringgits to join. It's a lot of fun and a good way to see the city while it's cool outside, plus get a great view of sunset over the strait.

We had just the best time at Ringo's. Howard goes out of his way to make everyone feel welcome and to build a community feel. Our room was grea and many happy evenings were had chilling out with beers and good company on the roof.

Nice place to stay and very convenient location
nice location but due to its style there is very little privacy... its nice to try it once but would prefer a single room...its also hot due to limited use of aircon...

Great but not completely worth the money
I just can rate the 22bed dorm. Overall cleanliness is good so far, only the bathroom cubicles could need more attention. Seems like the cleaner just hoses them down and mob it out, without spending too much attention on the details, as the toilets had the same dirt/sprinkles inside during my 2 nights stay :/ Depending what mattress you get, you can feel the springs. And the breakfast is a joke, even though they prepare nice sandwiches, toast with jam... (daily changing) - their most generous breakfast I had was 2 slices of toast as sandwich -> you want more you pay! There are cheaper options with the same or even better standards out there.. I'd say cause of the good atmosphere and the lovely owner it be fair with 25/30RM the night. Ooh and the aircon ist just running from 6pm-9am and the cleaner starts to get noisy quite early - so no sleep-in.

Thank you for nice hospitality!!
特にサービス面は大満足でした。チェックイン時には、屋上や共用スペース、シャワーの使い方など細やかに説明してもらえて、滞在中に困ることが何もありませんでした。周辺アクセスのアドバイスや、出発の際のGrab予約なども助かりました。 日替わりで違うメニューが提供されている朝ごはんもシンプルながら美味しくて、簡単に済ませるにはちょうど良かったです。 チャイナタウンから近く、周辺は夜でも安全に歩けるエリアです。ホステル内では観光場所やグルメに関する案内が充実している他、日によって異なる無料ツアーも実施されているようでした。観光の拠点に便利な場所ですが、のんびり過ごすにも良い時間が持てるホステルです。 またマラッカに行く時には、是非利用したいです。

Hostel ótimo para conhecer novas pessoas !
O hostel é grande, tem uma sala confortável com sofás, tem um rooftop bem legal onde é servido o café da manhã. A localização é ótima, perto do night market que acontece aos fins de semana, além disso é possível encontrar lojas, mercados e restaurantes por perto. A wifi é boa durante o dia, mas a noite ela fica muito lenta (acredito devido a quantidade de pessoas). O staff é super bacana de maneira geral, o dono é extremamente simpático e apresenta todo mundo, o que é ótimo para fazer amizades. O hostel também é limpo frequentemente. Pontos negativos: Não havia adaptador de tomadas, um voluntário me emprestou o dele. Acredito que deveria ter sabonete pelo menos para lavar as mãos. O café da manhã é variado todos os dias, tem dia que é só cereal com leite e café, não é um café da manhá de verdade, é complementar.
