really enjoyed my stay at **Heeren Street Boutique Hotel**! Location memang best gila – just sebelah Jonker Walk, jalan kaki less than 1 min dah sampai semua food & shops. Dutch Square and river cruise pun dekat je, very convenient. Hotel very clean and comfortable, tilam empuk, bilik pun fresh. They even ada water filter untuk guest, not many hotels provide this. Plus, ada pest control regularly and UV sterilization, so rasa safe and hygienic. Staff semua super friendly, siap tolong angkat luggage and bukakan pintu. Parking senang juga, ada big paid carpark kat belakang hotel, boleh masuk ikut pintu belakang terus. Overall, very worth the price. Suitable for couple, family, even pet friendly rooms pun ada. Sure akan datang lagi next time! Highly recommended 👍

FAQs about hotels in Melaka

Asia in a Nutshell

One of Malaysia’s smallest states, Melaka (or Malacca) has an important place in the country’s history. Home to one of the first Malaysian sultanates, it features a fabulous, replica sultan’s palace in the capital – Melaka City.

A UNESCO World Heritage Site, this sprawling city is a fascinating mix of architecture, including temples, mosques and churches dating back to Dutch and Portuguese colonial periods. Alongside more modern structures - such as Masjid Selat (also called the Malacca Straits Mosque) just offshore by Melaka beach - are ruins of A Famosa fort, wooden fishing boats, and traditional buildings in the Kampung Morten area, by a sharp bend in the Melaka River.

The city is also a rich mix of Asian nationalities and the Chinatown hotels near Jonker Street weekend night markets are particularly popular.

Melaka Airport is in the northern Batu Berendam suburb, and to the east is the Malacca International Trade Center in the small town of Ayer Keroh. Surrounded by lush greenery, this town also houses Melaka Zoo and the Taman Mini Malaysia and Mini ASEAN theme parks, featuring cultural events and reconstructions of housing styles typical of the Malaysian regions and south-east Asian countries.

Wherever you choose to stay, Booking.com has a great range of apartments, guest houses and hotels in Melaka to choose from.

    This was my 4th time staying here. The villa or banglow were very spacious, clean, and you could cook. No washing machine. I suggest the management to put one in every villa. Swimming pool is clean. The workers were friendly and helpful. Action was taken very fast for any report or request asked. Can park about 4 or more cars. I like the design of the villa. 4 bedrooms. Aircon good. There are 2 aircon in the hall and every room has aircon. There are two types of beds. Single and super single bed. 2 rooms with 2 single beds and 2 rooms with a super single bed. You need a car to move about. It is quite a distance to the dearest town, Simpang Empat and Tampin. The Famosa Free Port is near by about 5 mins drive. Good bargain and lots of restaurants. Check-in was quite fast. Friendly staff. The villa is provided with breakfast for 8 people. During the fasting month, they will send our Sahur (food). There is no need to drive to the restaurant.

    Melaka is a wonderful and historic city.

    Melaka is a wonderful and historic city. Spending 2 or 3 days there is good, however you will only get to see the tourist aspect of the city. There is more to Melaka than the small tourist area. Try and take time to visit the restaurants, cafes and sites further afield. You may be pleasantly surprised.

    Melaka is a popular historical country, wherever you go, you need to plan ahead. but dont rely too much on online booking, like for us, when we want to book for the Ayer Keroh Zoo,all online booking stated fully booked. but when we went there physically, it was available all the way. a bit frustated with the Zoo though, a lot of animal sites are empty or under construction, but the Dinasour Experience are the best, especially for kids

    The calmness of the town is unique. I liked the food they served in the shops, very authentic. Unlike the big towns in Malaysia, this little town has its own uniqueness in the food, the scenery & the peace. Its awesome for Nature lovers. Its like visiting our past in the late 60s/70s. The people there are so friendly.

    A laid back town, with friendly yet respectful people. Food is abundant and reasonably nice, as well as priced. Seafood outlets are many, but if you are looking for western food, head over the Chillis Village Food Court. The beef burger, puts McD's quarter pounder to shame.

    A town with many things to do. Visiting colonial buildings, Jonker's Street is filled with many good stuffs e.g. variety of Street food, local delights such as jam tarts, gula Melaka, nyonya kuih etc etc. If you are there in the month of Nov/Dec, do visit Portuguese Settlement for the wonderful Christmas decorations that the locals put up in their houses and not forgetting the wonderful food that you can also enjoy at the settlement.

    A location in older part of town, not far from historical attractions. However not in the proper Kampung Morten precint the locals know. Nearby scenic river walk. Public transport nearby. Historical kampung Hulu mosque over the river footbridge, 400 metres away. Resonable shopping in local shops. Further from upmarket plazas. Unfortunately, the footpaths in this location/general area are either non-existant or painfully uneven. Some shop traders have made a lovely entrance to their shop, but raised the footpath infront of their premises by upto 20 cm. Every 2nd-3rd shop entrance is different to the last...hopeless for a baby pusher.

    We found the people exceptionally friendly and helpful.

    We found the people exceptionally friendly and helpful. The many tourist attractions are well-maintained, really interesting and all within easy walking distance. The city is known for its delicious food and coffee and does not disappoint! The Grab taxi service here is very reasonable, but you need to be sensible and get yourself out of the busy traffic jammed areas to meet your Grab, or you will lose precious time unnecessarily. Personally, I LOVE the contrasts of well-maintained vs derelict buildings, the vibrant colours of the buildings along the river, the busy vibe of the market and the music in the background while enjoying dinner in a beautifully decorated street. It is wonderful to see so many cats around - some sterilised and well-loved and others, sadly not. I would love for animal rights people to catch the exotic pet trader at the Jonker Street night market....
