Casa del Rio Melaka

$$$ | 88 Jalan Kota Laksamana, Malacca, 75200, Malaysia

Within walking distance to Jonker Street and next to the Malacca River, Casa del Rio is the top choice for a central Melacca location. You'll get a taste (literally) of the excellent service in store when you're greeted at reception with a cooling towel and refreshing ginger-lime sorbet. Stylish, spacious rooms include balconies with wonderful river views, and the rooftop infinity pool with phenomenal city and river vistas is a delight. The hotel restaurant's food, particularly the Peranakan lunch and the Sunday riverside jazz brunch, comes highly recommended.

Pros

  • Extremely central location
  • Fast, reliable Wi-Fi (though three device connection limit per room)
  • 24-hour room service

Cons

  • Can be expensive compared to other Malacca hotels
  • Rooms facing the road rather than the river can be noisy

Jonker Boutique Hotel

$$ | 84 Jalan Tokong Kampung Tiga, Malacca, 75200, Malaysia

If you want to stay right in the middle of the action at a reasonable price, you can't do much better than this three-story hotel with an art deco facade right in the middle of Malacca's main shopping street. Rooms are large and simple, with modern interiors and free Wi-Fi, and the efficient, helpful staff are happy to recommend local restaurants and other things to do. Rooms facing the street are rather noisy at night (especially on weekends), so choose a back-facing room for a quieter stay.

Pros

  • Shopping and night market right outside your door
  • Private parking
  • Very friendly staff

Cons

  • No elevator
  • Noise in street-facing rooms
  • Breakfast not included in price
