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
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
Malacca is kinda strategic
as a meeting point when you have
friends coming from the Central
(KL/Klang Valley) vs the South (JB/Sg)
