Unbelievable Hulu Hotel Malacca: 90756's Hidden Gem!
Unbelievable Hulu Hotel Malacca: 90756's Hidden Gem! – A (Mostly) Glorious Rant
Alright, buckle up buttercups, because I’ve just clawed my way back from the Unbelievable Hulu Hotel Malacca: 90756’s Hidden Gem, and I've got FEELINGS. And those feelings? Well, they’re a mixed bag, like a delicious Malaysian buffet mixed with a slightly burnt satay stick. But mostly… delicious.
First things first: Accessibility. Okay, so let's dive right in. They say they have Facilities for disabled guests. And they do have an Elevator, and everything. But you know how it is with these things, right? "Accessible" can mean different things to different people. I didn’t personally test it with a wheelchair (though I felt like I needed one after that marathon exploring Malacca!), but from what I saw, it seemed relatively okay. Just… double-check your specific needs when booking, yeah? Don't take my word as gospel on that.
Cleanliness and Safety: Hoo boy, they REALLY went to town here. Felt like they were practically hosing the place down every five minutes. Anti-viral cleaning products, Daily disinfection in common areas, Rooms sanitized between stays, Staff trained in safety protocol… the works! I felt safer than a bank vault. They even had Hand sanitizer EVERYWHERE. Okay, maybe a little overkill, but hey, no complaints from me. Individually-wrapped food options? Check. Sanitized kitchen and tableware items? Double check. Sterilizing equipment? Believe it or not, triple check. They're taking it seriously.
Now to the fun stuff, the good stuff… Things to do, ways to relax: This is where Hulu Hotel really shines. Let's start with the spa. The spa! Oh, this is a story. I went for a Body scrub and a Massage, and I swear, I floated out of there. Okay, maybe I’m exaggerating slightly, but the therapist was amazing. Like, magic hands amazing. The Spa itself was gorgeous. They also had a Pool with a view, and a Sauna, a Steamroom. The Fitness center was pretty decent too, though I mostly stared at the treadmill and judged it silently. There's a Swimming pool [outdoor], and it looked lovely, though I was too busy enjoying the spa to actually use it.
And the food… oh, the food! Dining, drinking, and snacking: This is where things got dicey, but still mostly good. Restaurants – yes, plural. Asian cuisine in restaurant? Yup. International cuisine in restaurant? Also yes. Buffet in restaurant? Oh, yes indeed. The Breakfast [buffet] was pretty good, though the coffee… well, let's just say it could have used a little… oomph. They did have a Coffee/tea in restaurant, but I preferred the little coffee shop for my caffeine fix. There were Desserts in restaurant, all of which I may or may not have sampled liberally. The Poolside bar was lovely for a cocktail. The Snack bar was perfect for a quick bite. They even have Vegetarian restaurant options, which is always a plus. I indulged in the odd A la carte in restaurant meal as well. Anecdote time: One night I ordered room service, and it was the best thing ever… and then I realized I'd ordered a whole pizza AND spring rolls and I had to find spots big enough for them both in the fridge.
Services and conveniences: They have EVERYTHING. Concierge, Daily housekeeping, Laundry service, Dry cleaning, Luggage storage, the whole shebang. Cash withdrawal, Currency exchange – the works! Meeting/banquet facilities if you're, you know, into that whole corporate thing. Gift/souvenir shop for the inevitable "I forgot to buy something for Aunt Mildred" moment (we all have them). Air conditioning in public area (and in your room, obviously!). One thing to shout out in particular is their Contactless check-in/out. Smooth, easy, and no awkward small talk to be had.
For the kids: Ah, the little ones. They have Babysitting service and Kids facilities, which is great news for parents wanting some precious alone time. Family/child friendly is a definite yes.
Getting around: They can sort you out with Airport transfer (thank God, after the journey I’d just done!). They have Bicycle parking, a Car park [free of charge], Car park [on-site]. They even have Taxi service. And a car power charging station!
Available in all rooms: Here’s where things get really personal. Air conditioning? Obvious. Wi-Fi [free]? YES! (though occasionally a bit patchy – more on that later). Essential condiments. Coffee/tea maker – my lifeline. Free bottled water to keep you hydrated after a long walk. Hair dryer, In-room safe box, a Refrigerator to keep your snacks chilled. Satellite/cable channels. All the usual suspects. But the best thing? Blackout curtains. Glorious, sleep-inducing, light-blocking curtains. I slept like a baby. A baby who occasionally woke up to check the Wi-Fi.
And now, the Wi-Fi… This is where the "Unbelievable" part of the hotel's name nearly turned into a frustrated yell. Internet access – wireless (aka Wi-Fi) was advertised as free, which it was. But, oh boy, it was a bit… temperamental. Sometimes it was blazing fast, sometimes it vanished into thin air like a magician's rabbit. I had to hotspot off my phone a few times which was a pain. I'm serious about it. If you're relying on it for work or streaming video, it might give you some grief, but the Hotel’s Internet access – LAN was also available, if you're into it (but I wasn't.)
Okay, let's get REAL: This isn't a flawless, five-star palace. But it's got character. It's got charm. It's got a fantastic spa. And it's got a whole lot of potential. The staff are friendly and helpful (though, let's be honest, sometimes a little overwhelmed).

Okay, buckle up buttercups, because this isn't your grandma's meticulously planned travel itinerary. This is a survival guide to the Capital O 90756 Cara Hulu Hotel in Malacca, Malaysia, and my rapidly unraveling sanity. Consider this less a schedule and more… a therapy session on paper, punctuated by Nasi Lemak and probably regret.
Day 1: Arrival & The Great Bathroom Debacle (or, "Why Did I Choose This Place?")
- 14:00 - Arrival at the "Hotel": (Air quotes, because, well…) The taxi driver, a man who clearly hadn't slept in a week and smelled faintly of durian (a culinary hazard!), dropped me off. My first thought? "Oh dear God, is this the right address?" The building looked less like a hotel and more like a slightly neglected condo complex. The lobby? Let's just say "minimalist" is being generous. It felt more like a waiting room for a dentist.
- 14:30 - Check-In Chaos: The check-in was surprisingly smooth, which immediately set off my internal alarm bells. I got Room 307. Score! (or so I thought)
- 14:45 - The Room Reveal (and The Bathroom Breakdown): Okay, here's where things take a nosedive. The room itself was… small. Okay, tiny. But hey, I only needed a place to crash, right? Then I ventured into the bathroom. And the bathroom… Dear Lord. The showerhead was practically glued to the ceiling (I'm 5'4" and I felt like I was attempting to bathe under a water feature), the water pressure was akin to a gentle drizzle, and the smell. Oh, the smell. I'm pretty sure it was a mixture of mildew, despair, and a lingering hint of… something vaguely floral? It was a smell that clung to the back of my throat for hours. I seriously considered just using the public restrooms in the mall. I briefly considered whether I could possibly survive and get a good travel experience without a proper shower setup – the answer was no.
- 15:30 - Attempted Exploration (and Instant Regret): I decided to venture out. The surrounding area was… interesting. Let's just say it was not exactly the picturesque Malacca I had envisioned. There were a lot of stray cats, a lot of questionable food stalls (I'm talking, like, really questionable), and the oppressive heat was making me feel like I was slowly melting into a puddle of touristy angst.
- 16:00 - "Revenge" Nap: So, I retreated back to the "safety" of Room 307 and passed out. I'm fairly certain I dreamt of clean bathrooms and air conditioning.
- 19:00 - Dinner & Existential Crisis: Finally dragged myself out for dinner. Found a "restaurant" down the street. It was… okay. I ate some noodles that were about as exciting as my hotel room, and spent the entire meal questioning my life choices. Why did I pick this hotel? Why didn't I book a nicer place? Was I seriously paying money to be miserable? My inner monologue was a delightful symphony of self-pity.
- 21:00 - Bedtime Bliss (or, The Persistent Smell): Back in the room. The bathroom smell was still there, mocking me. I sprayed half a bottle of my travel-sized air freshener trying to tame it -- it was not effective. Fell asleep, dreaming of scented candles and hotel rooms with actual, functioning showers.
Day 2: Melaka's Charms (and My Ongoing Bathroom Trauma)
- 07:00 - Wake-Up Call: The Drizzle Returns: The promised "amazing" shower ended up being a 3-minute event. I spent more time fighting the wonky water pressure than actually cleaning myself.
- 08:00 - Breakfast (and a Moment of Hope): They had instant coffee! The breakfast was just toast and butter, but coffee is life, and, for a brief moment, I felt human.
- 09:00 - Jonker Street Immersion (and Tourist Overload): Jonker Street. It's pretty, it's vibrant, it's packed. I got jostled by a crowd of camera-wielding tourists every two seconds. The trinkets were tempting, but, honestly, I was overwhelmed. I did manage to snag a postcard, which I promptly dropped in a puddle.
- 11:00 - The Red Square (and the Feeling of Being Watched): The Red Square was beautiful. The red-painted buildings, the history… It was hard to soak it all in with the oppressive heat and (still) the lingering feeling of being judged by the ghosts of Malacca's past.
- 12:00 - Lunch (and The Curry Catastrophe): Tried the local curry laksa. It was spicy. Very spicy. I think I sweat off a gallon of water and almost cried.
- 13:00 - Escape to the Hotel (and Bathroom Resignation): Back to Room 307. Faced with a dilemma. No better shower - just survive. Surrender all that I had in me and get down to it.
- 14:00 - A Brief Encounter: The Cat: The cat from yesterday reappeared by the hotel door. It was slightly comforting. I have no idea why.
- 19:00 - Dinner, Round Two (and Food Poisoning Suspicion): ate street food, in a rush. Now I'm not feeling so great.
- 20:00 - Bathroom Vigil: I don't believe that the hotel room is going to be my downfall, but I'm keeping a close eye on the situation.
Day 3: Goodbye, Cara Hulu (and a Glimmer of Hope?)
- 08:00 - The Last Shower (and a Prayer): I survived. I got some good rest and a decent breakfast.
- 09:00 - Saying Farewell to the Room: I left the room. It should be obvious – it's time to check out.
- 10:00 - Farewell to Malacca. I believe in love. I hope I can get through this.
My Final Thoughts:
Look, this wasn't the perfect trip. The hotel was a disaster. The bathrooms were an insult to hygiene. But… I survived. I saw some beautiful things. I ate some spicy food. I definitely learned some lessons about travel booking and the importance of reading reviews. And, in the grand scheme of things, maybe a little chaos isn't so bad, right? Maybe that's the real adventure? Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go book myself a spa day. And maybe invest in a hazmat suit for future hotel stays.

Unbelievable Hulu Hotel Malacca: FAQ - Prepare to be... bewildered (in a good way?)
So, what *is* this Hulu Hotel Malacca thing anyway? Sounds... intriguing.
Okay, so picture this: you're scrolling through travel sites, desperately searching for something *different* in Malacca. And BAM! Hulu Hotel. The name alone… it’s like a secret password to something cool. It's a boutique hotel, yeah, I guess you could call it that. But it's *way* less "cookie-cutter chain" and *way* more "your quirky aunt’s awesome house, but professionally run". It's nestled in the historic heart of Malacca, in one of those charming, ancient shophouses. Think exposed brick, funky art, and a vibe that's like... laid-back sophistication, if that makes any sense. Honestly, the description on their site doesn’t do it justice. It’s… an experience.
The rooms! What are they like? Tell me everything! (And be brutally honest.)
Alright, buckle up. Rooms at Hulu… they aren't clones. Each one seems to have its own personality. I stayed in the *Blue Room* (or was it *the one with the giant mirror*? My memory is shot, sorry!). Anyway, it was absolutely gorgeous! Lots of natural light, a supremely comfy bed (I may or may not have spent a whole afternoon just *existing* on it), and design that felt modern but respected the building’s old bones. Now, here’s the *but*: the bathroom was a bit… quirky. Okay, let’s just say the shower situation was... interesting. The water pressure varied wildly, and at one point, I’m pretty sure it was coming out in a light drizzle. (Not ideal when you're covered in Melaka heat and humidity, let me assure you!) But hey, that's part of the charm, right? Like finding a slightly smudged Monet - it’s still a damn Monet! And honestly? I *loved* it. The little imperfections made it feel real, not sterile.
Okay, that sounds like it could go either way. What about the location? Perfect for exploring the old town, right?
PERFECT. Seriously. You're *right there*. Literal steps from Jonker Street, the famous (and insanely crowded, but still worth it) night market. The river's a stone's throw away. You're practically *inside* all the historical sites. I spent a whole day just wandering around, getting gloriously lost, and popping in and out of cafes. It’s THAT convenient. No need to rely on taxis or Grab (though those are plentiful too). You can stumble home after way too much Nyonya laksa feeling like royalty. Which, honestly, is the point.
Food! Is there breakfast? And what does it entail? Because I'm a total breakfast fiend.
Yes! There is breakfast, thankfully. And it's… good. Not the mind-blowing, Michelin-star experience, but good. Think a mix of local and Western options. Fresh fruit, toast, eggs (cooked to your liking!), maybe some noodles or nasi lemak. Coffee. Lots of coffee. I'm not a breakfast person, but I found myself actually *looking forward* to it each morning. It's served in a lovely little courtyard, which is a great way to start your day. The best part? The staff is seriously lovely. They'll happily chat with you, offer recommendations, and generally make you feel welcome. They're what sells the hotel more than anything.
The staff... you keep mentioning them. Are they a cut above the rest? Give me the tea!
Oh my god, YES. The staff is the unsung hero of Hulu. I'm talking genuinely kind, helpful, and (importantly) *real*. They clearly care about the place and the guests. I remember I was having a complete meltdown because I couldn't find my charger, I was practically in tears (jet lag, you know?). One of the staff members, bless her heart, actually *loaned* me her own! Seriously, that's above and beyond. They go the extra mile. They were full of recommendations about things to do in Malacca – hidden gems, the best food stalls, all the insider info. They're not just employees; they're like… your honorary Malaysian family for the duration of your stay. I wish I could remember all their names, but the general feeling was just pure warmth.
What's the vibe? Is it good for couples, families, solo travel?
I'd say it's pretty versatile. I went solo, and it was perfect. Felt safe, comfortable, and easy to meet other travelers if you're inclined. Couples would LOVE it; it's romantic and intimate (despite the occasional shower drizzle). Families... might need to consider the layout of the rooms, some might not be ideal for small kids (the stairs can be a bit steep). But overall, it's chilled out and inviting. It’s not a party hotel, but it’s also not stuffy. You can relax. You can explore. You can just… be. It's the kind of place that makes you feel at home, even if you're halfway around the world.
Any downsides? Don’t sugarcoat!
Okay, okay, here’s the real talk. The Wi-Fi can be a bit… flaky. And depending on your room, noise from the street can be a factor (you're in old town, remember?). Also, parking is tricky; you'll probably need to park on the street. And, as I mentioned, the bathroom situation might not be for everyone. But honestly, those are minor quibbles. They add to the charm… or, you know, they make the whole thing a bit more *real*. Look, if you're after a perfect, polished, 5-star experience, this isn't it. But if you want something with character, soul, and a genuine heart? Then absolutely, go for it.
Would you go back, though? Seriously?
YES. Absolutely, unequivocally YES! IHotels In Asia Search
