The Straits Hotel & Suites Melaka


Last weekend my family had a short 3 days 2 nights fun vacation in Melaka. We stayed at The Straits Hotel & Suites Melaka which is located in the heart of historical city of Melaka and UNESCO World Heritage site. There are 352 rooms designed elegantly for maximum comfort. This 4 star hotel is within walking distance to most tourist attraction spots such as The Stadthuys, St. Paul's Church, Jonker Street and A'Famosa. It is just 2 minutes walk to shopping centers.




When I walked into the hotel lobby, I saw a very spacious and comfortable waiting area with complimentary orange juice, cookies and snacks. There was a cafe where you can buy other drinks and snacks too. I felt very relaxed here and my children loved to eat their cookies.




The friendly staffs at the receptionist area were fast with my check in. They collected RM 100 refundable deposit and RM 8 for heritage tax for 2 days. The staff told me to get a parking card at Level 1 by giving the parking management RM 30 refundable deposit. This is because Straits Hotel & Suites building is connected to Novotel Hotel and both share the same parking spaces.

There are four types of rooms - Deluxe Twin, Deluxe King, Premier Suite and Straits Suite. My family stayed at the Straits Suite room and Deluxe King room which were linked through a door. Both these rooms had a balcony and comes with comfortable king size bed, LCD TV,  kitchen cabinet with a sink and complimentary mineral waters, coffee and tea, toilet amenities, shower, free wifi, mini fridge, wardrobe, bathrobes, safety box, hair dryer and slippers.

Here is a short video I recorded with my children in the hotel rooms.

The Straits Suite room is bigger with a dining table, living area with comfortable sofas and television. The bathroom has a bath tub and iron & ironing board are provided. We loved the Straits Suite room as it was more spacious and my children love to play at the bath tub.

The hotel has a great view and we could see the sea view from our room on the 22nd floor.


There is an infinity swimming pool on the 23rd floor where my children and husband enjoyed themselves. The swimming pool has a depth of 1.2 meters. The view here was very beautiful here. Breakfast, lunch and dinner is also served here besides the pool area. There is also 2 sauna rooms located next to the pool for you to relax and lose weight.
