    Favorite host during our whole trip!”

    Kawan Kawan was like a home. Thinks were provided for (drinking water, cups, utensils, etc.) and the place was very clean and well maintained! Best of all, Mrs. Tan was very welcoming and accommodating. She was very helpful and hospitable and offered things that would make our stay comfortable. I could only wish that all hosts are like her.

    The guest house is located at the heart of Jalan Harmoni/ Tukang Besi facing the Sam Toh Tong temple. Perfect lodging if you want to explore Jonker street area as most points of interest in the area are within walking distance. The guest house itself is well maintained and the rooms are clean. Bed is comfortable and room is well lit. Basic amenities provided are sufficient. Toilets are shared but design and cleanliness are top notch. Aircond unit in the room is working fine and fan is also available. Pantry is available for those who prefer to eat in the guest house but guests must bring their own food. Overall we had a good time at the guest house. Recommended for no-frills travellers.

    Great Location”

    Basic accommodation but most importantly it was CLEAN, great location .. within walking distance to heart of old Malacca. Towels and basic amenities provided, plenty of bathrooms even though it was shared, never had to wait at all. Will stay again at Kawan Kawan if we visit Malacca.

    Excellent location, only walking distance to all heritage and easy to find food. ”

    There was no staff at the guest house after you call for check in, so the main entrance we need to lock when out and in. Just like your home. No daily cleaning for deluxe room.
