The apartment is really very charming, right in the middle of the old town. We enjoyed the central location - so close to all the old town sights and easy to nip back during a day of sightseeing! There are plenty of nice places to eat, drink and...

Aesthetics, authenticity and location made us chose Leju 8 and these three did not disappoint. The vintage appeal, the originality Malaysian house and being by the riverside and close to all the ‘attractions’.

Charming place close to a kopitiam and bars at night. Walking distance to Jonker area. Felt like living in Melaka 80 years ago with the super steep stairs and constant chatter and noise

After LEJU 21, we discovered this little gem LEJU 8 in the same alley — once a humble traditional rubber stamp shop, now a cozy heritage hideaway. Restored with love, it features scraped walls where you can still see hints of the original blue paint ( colour once common in the homes of old Malacca), wooden beams and original staircases. We also designed an open-air bath, a quirky yet memorable touch that invites guests to slow down and soak in the moment. Step into a revived century-old shophouse, where history meets understated charm. Behind its weathered façade lie cement walls, wooden floors, exposed pipes, and original staircases and beams, tastefully complemented by vintage furnishings and soft, ambient light. Nestled within the UNESCO World Heritage area, the neighborhood brims with old-world life — traditional barber shops, keysmiths, and some local cafes /bars. A wooden staircase leads to the living room and a designed open-air bathroom terrace facing Lorong Jambatan — a serene space to unwind. Upstairs, the bedroom with scraped walls and three custom-built single beds celebrates rustic beauty and quiet comfort. 🌿 Professionally laundered linens and thorough cleaning ensure a fresh, comfortable stay every time. 🌿For guests staying 7 nights or more, weekly housekeeping will be provided to keep the space clean and comfortable. Extra towels are available upon request for guests staying 4 nights or longer. 🌿 Complimentary parking (10 min walk from LEJU 8, reservation before arrival is required). 🌿 Located in an authentic old alley of Malacca — peaceful and charming in the morning, lively with local bars at night. Perfect for guests who enjoy culture and local vibes, but may not suit light or early sleepers.✔️For added comfort, we provide complimentary earplugs to help you rest better at night. ✔️Kindly note that the original wooden staircase might not be suitable for very elderly guests, small children, or anyone with mobility challenges.

Each of our homes carries a piece of history-old walls,wooden staircases,and timeless charm,and we do our best to preserve them with love and care.

This house is tucked away in a charming alleyway of pre–World War architecture, a living symbol of the early Chinese migration to Malaya. The street remains lined with some of the country’s earliest Chinese shophouses, distinguished by their wooden shutters, staircases, and timeless facades that whisper stories of the past. Located along the Malacca River, it offers a serene riverside atmosphere while staying wonderfully central — just a stone’s throw from the Stadthuys, Jonker Street, Hard Rock Café, and other iconic landmarks.
