Question about Malacca

[Soule]

Hmm...what's so bad about it?

My friend from France and Switzerland tried it and they loved it - the French guy even had 2!
The crepe was well done, the cream was smooth and ample.
And it's not expensive either.
You sure you went to the same store?

The crepe is one of the worse me and my wife ever had. Pay me I also will not want to try again. Over rated

one of the ex-worker in capitol satay told me, the satay sauce is recycle sauce

Oh gosh, but I am very surprise to see how long is the queue on weekends, just to have this satay celup..

I can't remember the stop's name but it was on the 5th floor. Very nice crepe especialy the original flavour. In fact I want to buy back to Singapore but the cream can't last more than 2 hours, go give up. Did you go to the right shop?

This one I'll give it a miss knowing that the sauce is recycle. Did not try at Capitol but went to the one few shops away from Capitol. Same thing - all of them recycle the sauce. Went to the toilet and saw that the kitchen had big pots of sauce pouring from the customers' pots.

Not sure why it was that case as I asked the hotel and the Check-in time is From 2:00 PM they told me wireless is available.
But at S$86 really can't complain too much (Price from Here valid as at Dec 18)

Nonetheless you can try these the next time

Stayed there in august. Check in at 2pm, long queue during check in. After queueing for 1 hour they say room not ready until 5. At 5 we go back hotel check in still need queue for 45mins.

Lots of those property agents inside the hotel lobby pestering you.

The lighting in the hotel is awful, looks more like an office building than a hotel.

Check out took 45minutes.

Swore never to stay there again.

Will stay at holiday inn next time or back to the usual equatorial.

 

[machomike]

Its true, Hatten is one of the cheapest hotels with good location. So cannot really cry F cry M.
They dont have wifi in the room only cable internet. Wah lau. These days, we use tablets leh, give me cable for wat???!!!

I tried casa and equatorial. Not really keen in Holiday Inn. My girl said its too far from the shopping zone.

I never heard of harbour inn wor, will check out. Thanks!

I went to Melaka last weekend.

Stayed in Hangout @ Jonker. The room is consider satisfactory. But at night, you will hear a lot of noises as the hotel is near to the road.

I noticed that the people there like the song "Gangnam style". I heard this song whenever i go, and most of the trishaws playing this song too.

As for food,
i) Chicken Rice Ball - Recommend Chung Wah. Hoe Kee Chicken and Rice Ball not as good as Chung Wah.
ii) Mille Crepe - Must try! Taste good!
iii) Jonker 88 - Laksa and Cendol must try.
iv) Satay Celup - Ban Lee Hiang <- Long queue. You will notice that the other two satay celup shops got no customers at all despite same row as Ban Lee Hiang. However, we don't feel anything special with the satay celup. But, found that its unhygiene to dine there.

Sounds awfully bad service there... Hmm... Of course the all round tried and tested EQUATORIAL never fails me as I do my annual CNY exodus to Melaka. Holiday Inn is nice too with good price but the location is not that great. If you wanna head to Mahkota you gotta cross a busy 4 way road with an overpass next to it. Very challenging and if you have kids ... RISKY!... So it's kind of in an odd location. Too near to drive but too inconvenient to walk... But it's secluded near a nice jetty so for R&R definitely.. for shopping makan... you better drive even though you can walk.

Hatten was quite jialat. I was there last month.

I checked in about 5pm, no much people, but still queue for 30 mins. Only 2 staffs at the counter.

The renovation at lobby was still going on, noise was loud and my ears cannot take it while in the queue.

The morning breakfast was chaotic, if you are late, the queue can be extended to lift lobby. The queue for restaurant and lift passengers all bump together. I guess probably 50-100 pax in the queue when the time I left the restaurant about 9am+.

Look at the situation, I quickly packed and check out knowing that the official check out time will be another round of mess.

Other than the new room and location, nothing is fantastic.

The only reason why i would stay at HI over equatorial is because i am an intercontinental priority club member can claim points.

Corporate rate for equatorial is 300myr a night, i like the club facilities.
