Melaka Travel Forum

Hi all
My dad flies to Melaka for curing his eye this Monday. I am looking for hotel close to MMC. The nearest is Mahkota Hotel. Do you have any commment? Having good recommendation of Hotel Puri, how far is it from MMC? How to reach MMC from Hotel Puri? Thanks a lot

Hi!

Apart frm Mahkota Hotel, other hotels close to MMC are Equatorial Hotel, Holiday Inn and Seri Costa - all these are in Mahkota Melaka area abt 5-10mins walk from MMC. Hotel Puri is further a bit at Jonker Walk area, abt 20-30mins walk frm MMC. You can also hire a cab or trishaw/beca to go to Hotel Puri frm MMC.

I recommend Hotel Equatorial highly. you can see Mahkota Medical Centre from the hotel and you can walk there in minutes. It also has the best Nyonya restaurant, wtih Chef Bong at the helm. The hotel staff are very friendly including the concierge, Amin.
My favourite hotel is of course Hotel Puri. it is a very long walk from there to MMC but a good trikshaw ride. If the person is infirm in any way, I recommend Hotel Equatorial. Both Equatorial and Mahkota ( i have stayed there once, very oriented towards local tourism )are very close.

mahkota hotel is more of a serviced-apartment rather than a hotel room...

they have 2 or 3 room-apartments.

It really depend on your budget.EQ,Holiday Inn and Century Mahkota are abit on the higher side.Seri Coaster is cheaper,a very comfortable and clean 3star hotel.Forget about Puri as it is way out for you

Thanks to all of you.They are really helpful.

if u are looking for more budget hotel..there's a fenix inn around that area.this is a new hotel which is transformed from shophouses
