Homely and Comfortable stay

Review of Cafe 1511
4.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed Jul 30, 2012
Tried to book a stay at the original Cafe 1511 but was relocated to their secondary guesthouse that is about 8mins walk from the original Cafe 1511.
If you are driving (Free open air car park directly opposite the GuestHouse) and do not mind the 8 mins walk to Jonker Street, then the guesthouse is a good choice.
There is also a food street directly below the guesthouse at night to satisfy your hunger.
Bedroom was cozy and comfortable.
Toilet was small yet sufficient.
They should have their TV up soon so it'll be a good communal space for the guests.
Date of stay: July 2012
Room Tip: If you do not mind paying RM20, I would recommend to get the Triple Room which is worth the extra...

We were looking for a quiet place to stay after spending 5 intense weeks in India and we felt we made the right decision in heading straight to Melaka as soon as we walked out of the airport (Kuala Lumpur)...Cafe 1511 wasn't our first option since bathrooms were shared but the other hotels in the same location were all full so we called Collin and he booked us the attic room...we were so glad we stayed here instead since the place did feel homey...the GH is a former shophouse so it has character and is very well kept...rooms are small-ish but we usually care more about cleanliness and the shared bathroom wasn't even an issue anymore...staff are friendly and discreet and the laksa we were served for breakfast was fantastic! (we ended up having the same dish every morning during our stay)...location-wise, it's just a block away from Jonker St without the noise and a few steps from Hainan Food Street..we also had lunch here one day and were not disappointed..

I can't remember how much we paid but probably around US$30 per night for 2 adults so found it to be very good value..

A friend happens to be going to Melaka in a couple of weeks and I've insisted he stay in Cafe 1511...

We stayed at the cafe 1511 for one night and had a great experience. We had the attic room, initially felt awkward, but in no time, it felt like your bedroom. The place is very clean. Bathroom located a floor below attic, but was not a problem. Privacy is respected. The owners were very friendly and did a fantastic job. The breakfast was simply ample and delicious.
We had a choice of movies from a movie library and books for a full shelf. If I have a chance to visit Melacca again, I will consider to stay there again.

Room tip: Consider asking if you are being booked for attic room ; given about 4 flights of stairs and small steps. And also note the the bathroom is on a floor lower than attic .

At the outset, let me state that we stayed in the sister property of Cafe 1511, Cafe D'Laksamana. As there is not entry yet for the new property, I thought I could put my review here as it is under the same management.

The house is a short walk away from all the action near the Jonker Street area. But it's only about 5 minutes, 10 minutes maximum. There were 7 of us, so we booked all four rooms in the house. Sadly, we could only stay for 1 night but as a base for exploring Melaka, the property is great.

The house has 4 rooms, 2 rooms with double beds, 1 with twin beds and 1 with a single bed. There are mattresses available so potentially, you could fit around 10 people in there. The toilets were nice and clean. There is free wifi and a computer if you don't have a laptop with you.

I want to make special mention of Colin, the owner. He went out of his way to make sure our stay was good. The free breakfast which is to be served at Cafe 1511 was only going to start around 9 am. Our bus was leaving at 8. So he picked us up at around 7 am from the house and drove us himself to Cafe 1511 where he had breakfast prepared extra early for us. Then he brought us to the bus station himself! Talk about service. It was amazing!

Kudos to Colin and his staff! According to him, they are going to open another property this year. I personally recommend staying in his properties. Go!
