During the recent Valentine's weekend, I and my other half together with our friends decided to have a double date weekend away from the city. Instead of a romantic trip, we opted for a food-filled trip. We just needed to take a break from our busy city life. Hence, we had a road trip to Melaka, the historical state. During our visit, we stayed in this unique, classic yet modern boutique hotel, Hotel Puri. The hotel is nicely decorated with peranakan and life culture decorations. It feels so traditional and homely unlike the typical boutique hotel. Even the receptionist who checks us in is wearing a traditional Baju Kebaya.
Talking about check in, we arrived 2 hours before the check in time. Fortunately, we are allowed an early check in because our room was ready. The receptionist was very efficient. She checked us in in less than 10 minutes! The four of us stayed in a superior quad room. The room was spacious, tidy and comes with complementary bottled mineral water and free Wi-Fi. However, there was some stain on the toilet seat. We called up the reception to inform them about our little issue and immediately they send their cleaner to clean them up right away. I was truly amazed by their efficiency.
Other than their great services, the other thing I love about this hotel was its location. Hotel Puri is very strategically located. It is just one block away from Jonker Street where at night, we just park our car in the parking lot provided by the hotel free of charge and walk over to the night market. Hassle free!
The hotel provides free breakfast for their guests too. They served a fusion of Malaysian breakfast and continental breakfast such as nasi lemak, porridge, toasts, baked beans, sunny side up and so on. For a boutique hotel, I must say, they serve wide varieties of food. In my opinion, the best part about their breakfast wasn't just about their food. It was the dining area, where we had our breakfast in the garden surrounded by trees and potted plants. It was so serene and relaxing.
Overall we were very contented with our stay at Hotel Puri. They offer great service with reasonable price. I will definitely come back to stay on my next visit to Melaka.
