Palace Hotel: Palace Hotel Palace Hotel Review

I was going to be quite harsh about this place but that was before my KL experience and compared to the flea pit in KL, this hotel seemed pretty good.
The staff are friendly and it is cheap. The rooms aren't a bad size, all have twin single beds. The bathroom is what you'd expect for somewhere that costs 10 quid a night.

Unique Qualities: Lacking in facilities. There is a coffee shop where breakfast is served (included in the price). That's about it. The A/C is centrally located so there is no individual unit in the room and it is very quiet. (I just hope I don't get Legionnaires disease later).

Address: 201 Jalan Munshi Abdullah, 75100 Malacca

Comparison: less expensive than average

Directions: 10-15 minutes walk from Chinatown. It's not the best area but not that far from the centre of town.
