Question about Malacca

[Nemesis Alien]

Do those buses from Larkin have space for luggage (just like coaches from Sin)?

Coaches yes, just follow standard brand names, of course those lao pok bus won't have

Which hotel do you guys usually stay in Melaka?

Last time I stayed in Hatten hotel before. The location of the hotel is great but only thing that it was quite crowded during the weekend and there were long queues at the check in counter so checking in took some time.

So I might want to stay other hotels the next time I go there.
Any recommendations?

Casa del Rio. I like that location better, as many places are within walking distance. Like The Shore, even walked back from Jalan Gajah Berang, Jonker obviously, then Dataran Pahlawan all the way to Mahkota Parade. Could have walked to the Portuguese Settlement too, as got as far as somewhere near there.

But that's back when Grab Car wasn't available, only Grab Taxi at best. Grabbed to Aeon Mall.

Now looking at something cheaper in the same area... narrowing down to Hotel Puri, Heeren by the River, and possibly even Quayside.

Casa del Rio a little expensive though. Don't want to spend so much. I'm also looking at something cheaper in the same area.

Timez Modern Heritage Hotel looks not bad too.

So many hotels have opened in that area since my last stay.

My fav all time at melaka is strait hotel. It's suite is cheap s$100 per night and good parking lots. Walking distance to hatten and restaurant below open till 4am Lok Lok shoik while couple of mama shop open 24hrs.

Stayed there like 8-9 times already. Hygiene and cleaniness not there yet but still cheap.

For those not driving, heritage hotel is the next best for cheap and big room. Minus pt - no carpark lot for customer.

yes. try to book early. shouldnt be that expensive, should be around sgd40 per night for the normal rooms.

very good if u drive cos there're plenty of food all over melaka. can oso consider driving to tangkak (about 1 hour). no need to go via ns hwy. take small road there and enjoy the countryside view. can makan famous food like char siew sio bak mee, beef noodles, bak kut teh, shanghai seafood (this one is ok ok only but my wife nn her friends say nice)...

i usually have bf in jb before driving straight to melaka. after bf, i will drive straight to kl.

wanton mee, chicken rice, kway chap - cedar point

roti canai, murtabak - abmh (along this row of shophouses, there's a kopi tiam selling wanton mee, kolo mee, laksa...) there's also a money changer beside the restaurant. rates r ok.

taman sentosa area has quite a few kopi tiam and hawker center opened for bf at 6+am too.

i think holiday starts next week. so if u can, try to be at customs before 6 or 630am.

If you refering to Imperial Heritage hotel, do not get the last room at the end of the corridor. the room is small, only walking space between the 2 beds.
i was there 2 years back with a big group and stayed in the last room. was ok when i entered the room, then got a shock when i enter my relative's room, it's almost double the size of my room.

Might be a good idea to have breakfast in JB like what someone else said. Take it as a reward for waking up early to clear customs, or take it as a reward for having survived the custom jam if you go in a bit late.
Dim sum is my favourite for early bird breakfast in JB. Because some dim sum shops the things will get sold out even if you go at 10am.
Try to take the chance to explore JB. Don't go and eat at those places near KSL, which you can do on any day trip. But don't detour too much, plan it in a way where you're heading north and it's easy to join the NSHW.

I find Yong Peng a good stop because it's really in between JB and Melaka. Can either go into the town itself or just stop at the R&R. There're are two on the same stretch of road, won't miss it, the coaches stop there. Maybe I'll explore other rest stops on my next trip.

That time I exit Jasin and went by the small road into Melaka for a different scenery. I think it's one exit before Ayer Keroh with a lot of Sime Derby plantations. The Ayer Keroh toll is more expensive, so if you've time and want to save money, then take the Jasin exit or other earlier exits and go by the small road. Just google map and navigate to some location in Jasin and when you exit, you reprogram again.
Coming back to SG I follow the navigation which took me to Ayer Keroh.
