📍Ibis Melaka I tend to like the Ibis hotel chains, especially since they are generally new, modern, minimalistic and affordable. Ibis Melaka was lovely. Located centrally at the heart of Melaka, the location is a mere 5-minute walk from the famous Jonker Street and the Malacca River. As Accorhotel Gold Status members, we received a room upgrade. Service was efficient and fast, despite it being fully booked. We stayed for 2 nights, and we couldn't ask for better. Though the rooms may be small, it is designed efficiently to make the stay comfortable, with USB ports provided. There's a pool which certainly is a child's favourite, and an adequately equipped gym. Overall, if I do ever return to Melaka, I'd stick with Ibis. It has everything I would need for a trip to this Heritage town - comfortable clean beds, perfect accessibility to the main tourist hubs, adequately minimalistic and with great service.#beachlife
