Melaka Hotels - Reviews and Rates

After a few days of Western world it was time to continue our adventure in the Wild Wild East - we looked at our options and decided to continue on to Malaysia and take a ferry over to the Indonesian island of Sumatra. Originally our plan had been to travel all along Indonesia, from Bali to Sumatra, but there just isn't enough time to do all tha...

19.03.09: Bye Bye KL. Hello Melaka! This small colonial town is not only impressive by its history but also by its looks.

I am toasty on the inside from a couple of glasses of wine nuanced with a plate of cheese. The evening is coming to a close and the long journey from I...

On Sunday I caught the coach down to Melaka and then Monday morning I caught another coach to Melaka. I can thoroughly recommend travelling by coach in Malaysia. They all seem to have only three seats across the width of the coach, all of which recline to a near-horizontal position. Very comfy. I had three days in Melaka, staying in a beautiful ...
