Where Almost Everything’s X Just Around the Corner: Malacca Sleepover

happened to have the opportunity to

explore two totally different types of

accommodations in Melaka

i.e. Suite vs backpacker hostel

 

Straits Hotel & Suite Melaka

weekend rate was at less than 300 MYR

with breakfast included

we sort of understand why

they have Sg Channel 5 on the TV

 

location-wise

it’s near the main shopping district

the tourist attractions are quite near

within walking distance for some

 

that was actually

my very first time of

staying at an paid accommodation

right at my hometown

i think i can see my own home

somewhere….. there

Melaka Raya area

 

the other one was a short visit

to Troka Prewar Residence

somewhere in my neighbourhood

right opposite my favourite WTM

location-wise

a pretty decent neighbourhood

to explore on foot

well, of course,

see who’s staying here

 

not to mention

quite a bit of fooding and shopping done

mix of cafe, typical local, North Indian, street etc

FYI, brunch for two

Kopitiam opposite The Shore

 

Malacca is kinda strategic

as a meeting point when you have

friends coming from the Central

(KL/Klang Valley) vs the South (JB/Sg)
