Malacca Seaview Luxury: Bathtub & Balcony Bliss (B3605)
Malacca Seaview Luxury: Bathtub & Balcony Bliss (B3605) - My Honestly Messy & Amazing Review
Okay, buckle up buttercups, because I just got back from Malacca Seaview Luxury (that B3605 room, specifically) and I’ve got opinions. This isn't some glossy brochure, people. This is real talk. And lemme tell ya, it’s a bit of a mixed bag, in the most gloriously human way possible.
First Impressions - The Good & the "Oh, Okay…"
Finding the place was… an adventure. Okay, maybe “adventure” is being generous. The hotel itself looks impressive from the outside, modern and imposing, promising views that would make even a seasoned Instagrammer drool.
Accessibility: Okay, so the website touted accessibility. They do have an elevator, thank god, because my calves were already screaming from lugging my suitcase around earlier. But the actual implementation of accessibility? Let's just say it’s a work in progress. Ramps exists, but not necessarily leading to the most important spaces, at least some of them. I'm not in a wheelchair, but I can see how some areas might be tricky. (Accessibility: 3/5 - Needs serious improvements for true inclusivity!)
Parking: Free parking! Yes! Thank you, hotel gods! And a charging station! Nice touch for the Tesla crowd. (Getting Around: 5/5 - Easy peasy, lemon squeezy.)
Check-in: Contactless? Sure. Fast? Not exactly. There was a bit of a queue, and the staff seemed a little overwhelmed. But hey, at least they were friendly, even if they were a tad flustered. (Services and Conveniences: 3/5 - Could be smoother, but ultimately fine.)
The Room (B3605) - The Star of the Show (Mostly)
Alright, the room. The room. Finally, we’re getting to the good stuff. B3605, you’re the reason I put up with the mild chaos.
The Bathtub: Oh. My. God. The bathtub. Picture this: a giant, freestanding tub, positioned perfectly to look out at… well, at the sea, eventually. The balcony was great, no doubt, but this tub was something special. I spent a solid hour in there, with bubbles, a glass of wine (thanks, mini-bar!), and the world melting away. This alone is worth the price of admission. (Available in all rooms: 5/5 - Bathtub bliss achieved!)
The Balcony: The balcony was lovely, as advertised. Decent size, comfortable chairs, and the view… when it wasn’t cloudy… was pretty magnificent. The fresh air was a welcome change from the sometimes-stuffy air conditioning. (Available in all rooms: 4/5 - View dependent!)
The Bed: Comfortable? Yes. Extra long? Apparently! I actually enjoyed sleeping in it. (Available in all rooms: 4/5 - Sleepy and satisfying.)
The Bathroom: Separate shower and tub? Score! Good water pressure? Yes! Clean? Absolutely. Plenty of fluffy towels and lovely toiletries. It ticked all the boxes. (Available in all rooms: 5/5 - Practical and pampering!)
Internet Yes, there’s Wi-Fi. (Internet access: 4/5 - it did the job.) The free Wi-Fi in all rooms is a must these days, and it worked well enough for the occasional email check, Instagram scroll, and video streaming marathon when needed.
The Amenities - A Mixed Bag of "Wow" and "Meh"
The Pool: The outdoor pool was beautiful – stunning view and it was a great spot to relax. (Swimming pool [outdoor]: 5/5 – Heaven!)
The Gym: I’m not a gym person, but the fitness center looked well-equipped. (Gym/fitness: 3/5 - Didn’t try it, but seemed okay.)
The Spa: The spa… now that was an experience! The massage was divine! I had a body scrub and a body wrap, I felt like a new person. So very, very relaxing, and the staff were lovely. (Spa: 5/5 - Pure, unadulterated bliss!)
The Restaurants & Food Fiasco: This is where things get a little… bumpy.
- Breakfast: Okay, so the breakfast buffet was… extensive. Like, seriously, it was a lot. There was everything you could possibly want, from a full Western breakfast buffet (eggs, bacon, sausages - the works!) (Breakfast [buffet]: 4/5 - great with wide range of food choices.)
- Asian Cuisine and More: The hotel also has a restaurant featuring Asian Cuisine, Western Cuisine, Buffet, A la carte available. (Dining, drinking, and snacking 4/5 - lots of choices.)
- The Bar: The bar was nice, offering the Happy hour, and the Poolside bar also made me feel luxurious. (Dining, drinking, and snacking 4/5 - lots of choices.)
- Room Service: 24-hour room service is always a win! Especially after a long day. (Dining, drinking, and snacking 5/5 - very convenient.)
Cleanliness and Safety - Feeling Secure (Mostly)
- COVID Precautions: They definitely take their hygiene seriously. Hand sanitizer everywhere, staff wearing masks, and the room felt spotless. The staff's training in safety protocols was evident. Safe dining setup and individually-wrapped food options were great. (Cleanliness and safety: 5/5 - Felt super safe and secure.)
Things to Do & Ways to Relax - More Than Just a Pretty View
- The Spa, Again!: Seriously, go. Just go. The spa is the highlight. (Spa: 5/5 - Seriously, go!)
- The View: Take lots of pictures! (Things to do: 4/5 - Lovely View)
For the Kids - Limited, But Present
- Babysitting Services: There's a babysitting service available if you need. (For the kids: 3/5 - Limited)
In Conclusion – Should You Book?
Okay, so Malacca Seaview Luxury isn’t perfect. There are some minor imperfections and quirks. But you know what? Despite the hiccups, the bathtub, the spa, the view, and the overall luxurious feel of the room (and the fact that they REALLY cared about cleanliness) makes it a winner.
Here's the thing: If you’re looking for a luxurious escape where you can unwind, pamper yourself, and soak in some seriously stunning views (and bathe in a ridiculously amazing bathtub!), then absolutely, YES, you should book B3605 or a similar room at Malacca Seaview Luxury.

Escape to Paradise: Your Private Pool Villa in Krabi Awaits![City+Seaview Balcony Bathtub [TvBox] B3605 SC Malacca Malaysia](https://pix2.agoda.net/hotelimages/33863575/0/5e1b9f3162daa4ed38055d01e41f720e.jpg)
Alright, buckle up buttercups, because this isn't your sanitized, perfectly-planned travel itinerary. This is MY Malacca adventure, and trust me, it’s probably going to be a delicious disaster. We're talking City+Seaview Balcony Bathtub [TvBox] B3605 SC… Sounds fancy, right? We'll see!
Day 1: Crash Landing & Colonial Charm (aka, Mild Panic)
08:00 - Arrival at KLIA2 (Kuala Lumpur International Airport 2): Okay, first hurdle. Jet lag is already kicking my butt. I swear, the air in those Malaysian airports is specifically designed to make you feel perpetually dehydrated. Found myself wandering around looking for the train, muttering about "proper signage." Someone pointed me in the right direction, bless their heart.
10:00 - Train to Melaka Sentral: The train was fine. Clean, air-conditioned, which is good. I spent most of the journey staring out the window, trying to process the fact that I was actually in Malaysia. Kept flashing back to all the pre-trip Pinterest boards and suddenly feeling overwhelmed.
12:00 - Taxi to B3605 SC (fingers crossed): This is where things get…interesting. The taxi driver was a whirlwind of energy, talking a mile a minute about everything. I understood about 10% of what he said, but the ride was fast and bumpy enough that I didn't have time to dwell on it. Finally, we pulled up!
12:30 - Check-In & Apartment Revelation: Okay, okay, here it is. B3605 SC. Turns out “City+Seaview Balcony Bathtub [TvBox]" is a slightly misleading description. “City” is more like "view of other buildings." "Seaview" is… distant, if you squint. But the balcony IS there! And the bathtub? Oh, the bathtub is magnificent. I made a beeline for it. I am so ready for a nice, long soak. The TV box is like a fancy remote control and i can watch anything i want to watch.
14:00 - Lunch at a Hawker Centre (the real deal!): Right. Time to conquer the food. Stepping out of the apartment, this place is already dripping with humidity. Found a hawker centre. This is where the chaos begins. The smells! The people! The endless choices! I ended up pointing at something that looked vaguely delicious. It turned out to be Char Kway Teow. Heaven on a plate. Spiciness level? Apparently, "mild" is a relative term in Malaysia. My mouth was on fire, but god, it was good.
15:30 - Melaka River Cruise: A Tourist Staple (and a bit meh): Okay, the river cruise. Honestly? A little bit dull. It's pretty, sure, seeing the colonial buildings from the water. But it's also crowded, and the narration was in that singsong voice that makes you want to nap. Still, I got some nice pictures, and that's what counts, right?
17:00 - Exploring Jonker Street (aka, Souvenir Hell): Jonker Street. Oh, Jonker Street. Imagine a street overflowing with tourists, knick-knacks, and the persistent aroma of street food. It's overwhelming. And I loved it. I was immediately distracted. Bought some batik, some questionable dried fruit, and a ridiculously ornate fan. My wallet is already crying.
19:00 - Dinner at a Peranakan Restaurant (the real deal! Round 2): Went to a place called "Nancy's Kitchen." It was recommended to me by the taxi driver. The Nonya food was amazing. I had the Ayam Pongteh. Hearty, flavorful, chicken stewed in a rich broth. Comfort food at its finest. I basically licked the plate clean. This is living.
21:00 - Balcony Time & Initial Thoughts: Back at the apartment, sitting on the balcony. It's hot. But the city lights are pretty. Drinking a Tiger beer (local brew, by the way). Day 1 complete. Exhausted. Satisfied. Ready to get lost in this city even more.
Day 2: Temples, Towers, and Total Meltdown (Emotionally, Mostly)
08:00 - Slow Start & Breakfast Scramble: Okay, I slept in. Jet lag is a sneaky bastard. Managed to stumble out for a quick breakfast of…well, another noodle dish. I clearly have a type.
09:30 - St. Paul's Church & A'Famosa Fort: Headed up the hill to St. Paul's Church. It's a bit of a climb, but the views are worth it. The church itself is ruined but hauntingly beautiful. I sat there for a while, just… observing. Feeling all introspective. Then, wandered over to A'Famosa Fort. More history. More photo ops. More tourists. It's a beautiful place and I am not sure I've ever seen such an artistic ruins.
11:00 - Cheng Hoon Teng Temple: Wow. This temple is just… stunning. Seriously, the colours, the carvings, the atmosphere. It's like stepping into another world. I wandered through, trying to understand the rituals and the history. I'm such a baby christian, the whole display was very different.
12:30 - Lunch: More Food Adventures: Found a little food stall tucked away. The food was spicy. The stall owner kept smiling at me as i was literally crying.
14:00 - The Melaka Sultanate Palace Museum (And a Moment of "WTF?") Let's talk about this museum. It's a replica of an ancient sultan's palace, and it's gorgeous. The wood carvings, the royal paraphernalia. It's all very impressive. But… the mannequins! Oh God, the mannequins. They're just…creepy. Expressionless faces, staring out into the void. It's the most unintentionally hilarious thing I've ever seen in a museum. I had to leave.
15:30 - The Stadthuys & Red Square: All the red, all the tourists: The Stadthuys. The Red Square. More colonial architecture, more red paint. This whole area is incredibly picturesque, but also, incredibly crowded. I took some photos and then promptly retreated to…
16:30 - Coffee & Reflection: Found a quiet cafe and had a coffee. Sipping it, watching the city go by. Considering the emotional toll of mannequin encounters, and how everything is going so smoothly. I feel like I'm starting to fall in love with this messy, beautiful place.
18:00 - Exploring the Streets: Just wandering. Getting lost. Letting myself be surprised by the turns and turns. It's good. It feels good.
19:30 - Dinner: I'm hungry again!: Found a place serving satay in the alley. It was juicy, flavorful, and the peanut sauce was to die for.
21:00 - Balcony, Beer, and the Sweet Symphony of City Sounds: Another Tiger beer. Wind down and ready for the next adventure.
Day 3: A Beach Day. Maybe. Probably Not (Spoiler Alert)
08:00 - "Let's be beachy": The plan: Escape the city. Go to the beach.
09:00 - The reality: I woke up. I remembered I forgot my sunscreen. I was already feeling the weight of the impending heat.
09:30 - Breakfast, or more like, what's in the fridge: My fridge seemed to only contain the previous night's leftovers.
10:00 - Procrastination and Netflix: "Maybe I'll just chill here."
11:00 - I'll just stay here more…
12:00 - More Netflix!
13:00 - Lunch Time! I was hungry. The beach was a dream.
14:00 - Decision Time: It was getting to 4 pm. I didn't go to the beach. I just didn't feel like it. (And I have a feeling I'd have burnt to a crisp.
16:00 - "Let's explore:" Found a small antique shop.
17:00 - "Find a good spot:" Went to a new restaurant. The interior was stunning and the view was gorgeous.
18:00 - Dinner: The restaurant's food was delicious!
19:00 - Sunset on the balcony: It was amazing.
20:00 - Pack some bags and ready for tomorrow: It was a lazy day, but I didn't mind it to be honest.
21:00 - The final goodbyes: Final beer, final view. Goodbyes.

Escape to Paradise: Your SocialTel Samui Adventure Awaits!![City+Seaview Balcony Bathtub [TvBox] B3605 SC Malacca Malaysia](https://pix4.agoda.net/hotelimages/33863575/0/ce1d97f0e273b736c5b8430f693c06bc.jpg)
1. Right, so "Luxury"? Is it *actually* luxurious, or just some marketing fluff? Because I've been burned before...
Alright, alright. Let's address the elephant in the room: the "L" word. Look, *luxury* is subjective, right? For me, after lugging my suitcase through that infernal Melakan humidity, the *sheer* relief of air conditioning and a decent shower felt like a taste of heaven. Was it the Burj Al Arab? Absolutely not. But was it a significant step up from the slightly-dodgy backpackers' hostel I'd endured the night before? Oh, HELL YES.
The balcony did actually have a pretty decent view. Not *breathtaking*, mind you. You know, like a postcard from a slightly-less-affluent relative. I'd give the luxury rating a solid 7/10. Consider the price point. It was a nice place to unwind after a long day of sightseeing. The bathtub, however... now *that* was where they earned their stripes. More on that later.
2. That tub! The "Bliss" part. Spill the tea! Was it actually blissful soaking time? What's the deal with the lack of privacy I saw in a photo?
Okay, okay, the tub. *This* is where things get interesting. It's the jewel in the crown, the reason I booked the damn place! And... (deep breath) ...yeah, it was pretty darn blissful. Imagine, steaming hot water, bubbles the size of grapefruits (thanks, bubble bath I *secretly* brought), and the salty air wafting in from the sea. Pure. Freaking. Bliss.
About that lack of privacy... Yeah, there are *some* frosted glass panels, but you're essentially exposed to the balcony. And let's be honest, the balcony view is pretty good. If you're shy... maybe pack a decent robe? I'm not going to lie, the first few minutes were a little awkward, but after a glass of wine, all inhibitions flew right out the window. The wind. You get the picture.
And let's be honest, the best view is from *inside* the tub. I spent a good hour in there just staring at the sky. It was magical.
3. The balcony. You teased it. What's the vibe? Is it actually usable, or just some fancy decoration?
The balcony… Okay, let's be real, it wasn't massive. But it was *usable*. A small table and two chairs. Perfect for a morning coffee (which I promptly spilled all over myself – don't judge, I was still half-asleep) or a sunset beer. The view? As I mentioned before, not Dubai, but still pretty darn decent. You could see the sea, the coastline. The sound of the waves was soothing.
One minor gripe: there were a few times I spotted the neighbours on their balconies. Thankfully, we all seemed to be polite, looking the other way. Maybe that's part of the bond of sharing a luxury hotel.
4. The room itself? Other than the awesome bathtub, were there any other redeeming features? Or any disappointments?
Alright, fine. Let's talk about the *room*. The bed was HUGE and comfy. Seriously, I could have held a small dance party on it.
The aircon worked, which, as I mentioned before, is a huge win in Malaysia. The decor was... well, it was modern, a bit generic. Think Ikea-meets-hotel-chain-chic. Nothing to write home about, but also nothing offensively bad.
Now, for the disappointments...Okay. The TV wasn't enormous. And... (whispers) the Wi-Fi was a bit spotty. But hey, I was there to unplug, right?
5. Location, location, location! How far is it from the action? And how walkable is it?
The location is *pretty* good. Not right in the thick of it, which is a bonus for peace and quiet, but a short Grab ride (the local Uber) away from the main attractions like Jonker Street and the historic district. Walking? Doable, especially if you don't mind a bit of a stroll in the heat. I walked everywhere and got to see everything, and probably sweated out a couple of pounds in the process.
But hey, you're at the sea! Why sit inside?
6. What about the staff? Were they helpful, friendly, or just going through the motions?
The staff were... lovely. Actually, more than lovely, they were *genuinely* helpful. The check-in guy (I forgot his name, sorry!) managed to navigate my terrible pronunciation of "laksa" without so much as a raised eyebrow. They were always cheerful, helpful with recommendations, and even helped me to reorder the room keys that I lost on several occasions!
7. Would you stay there again? Honestly. Seriously.
Honestly? Yes. Absolutely, yes.
Despite the slight imperfections, the tub alone is worth the price of admission. The location is great, the staff are amazing, and the overall experience was really enjoyable. There's some hidden beauty in this place. I'm already dreaming about my next soak. And maybe this time, I'll try to remember those room keys...
8. Okay, last thing, is it actually good for couples?
Definitely. Romantic? Yes. The bathtub situation alone is *perfect* for couples. And the balcony is perfect for a sunset drink. Whether you want to stare at the sky, or each other... the magic is there.
