Where To Stay In Melaka
Like many cities in Malaysia, Melaka is fairly spread out and there are many different locations that travellers choose to base themselves in. Below I’ve provided a brief overview of the most popular areas tourists choose to stay in Melaka.
Jonker Street
Hotels around Jonker Street tend to be the most popular for people coming to Melaka. Here you will find a wide range of accommodation options, particularly for those looking for a cheap hotel in Melaka town area.
The best thing about staying around Jonker Street is that you’re in walking distance to most of the Melaka attractions. You’re also close to plenty of shops, restaurants and bars. And, of course, Jonker Street is also where the famous Jonker Street Night Market takes place every weekend.
If you’re looking for good value hotels in Melaka City, where you are in the heart of it all, a hotel around Jonker Street is where you should stay. If you are looking for some peace and quiet – Jonker Street is not the place for you.
Malacca City
Not too far from Jonker Street, you will find Malacca City. This is a modern part of the city which is known for its European architecture.
Malacca City is where you will find large modern hotels with access to several shopping malls. This is a good location for people who want more luxurious hotels and to be surrounded by all the amenities you’d expect from any modern city.
While Malacca City is a little further to most of the main landmarks than Jonker Street accommodation, it’s still within walking distance or there is public transport.
Ayer Keroh
Ayer Keroh is the place to be for those who want to escape the busy city centre, but still, be within easy access to the main Melaka tourist attractions. Located around 15 kilometres east of Malacca City, Ayer Keroh is the perfect location for travellers in search of some peace and quiet.
Ayer Keroh also has its own tourist attractions to explore. Here you will find the Melaka Bird Park, the Malacca Butterfly and Reptile Sanctuary and the Melaka Zoo. These attractions make the location perfect for families and nature lovers.
This area has a good selection of accommodation to choose from, however, as can be expected there are less dining and shopping options here than the city centre.
