Incident at Century Mahkota Hotel, Malacca
My colleague recently came back from her holidays at Malacca and had a scare when she decided to stay at Century Mahkota Hotel. Century Mahkota Hotel, Malacca is currently located just behind Mahkota Parade shopping center. When she choose the hotel together with her husband, she thought it was the strategic location and affordable prices that got her interested but somehow did she not know that something eerie was lurking.
On the day she and her husband checked into Century Mahkota Hotel, Malacca they were pretty tired after the 2 hours journey from Kuala Lumpur. As soon as they arrived to Malacca, they took a quick lunch and proceeded to the hotel for some rest before heading for their pre-arranged agenda for the day. When they checked into the hotel room apartment, my friend’s husband decided to turn on the tap in the bathroom just to get the water running but to his horror, instead of clear water, he saw stinking dark brownish water. Noticing something amiss, he alert his wife and they decided to call the reception to get an answer for this “bad” service.
When the receptionist picked up the call, the husband explained the situation and demanded an answer why the water was unclean. The receptionist then asked the husband to hold on for a while. After several seconds, the receptionist came back online and told him, “Oh, I’m sorry sir but it seems that we have mistakenly placed you in the wrong apartment. The apartment room that you are currently staying has very long been vacant therefore causing the stinking dark brownish water since no one has been staying there for quiet some time.”
Do you think what I’m thinking?
The couple packed up their belongings and ran out of the room as fast as they could.

Nothing spooky about that… Mud and oil get clogged in water pipes if no water flows through for a while, just leave the tap running for a while and the water will become clear again. If your friend flushed the toilet she would have seen the same dirty water flowing out as well.
However… since the apartment has been vacant for a while, maybe it was also ‘dirty’ in other ways… a narrow escape for your friend perhaps?
