RC Hotel Melaka

This is my second time staying at this hotel. The bar staff even speak Mandarin, and there are more food options nearby, especially the breakfast noodle soup and iced coffee next door, which are really to my liking. I'll definitely stay here again next time.

Run by a Chinese owner, the ground floor houses a restaurant that seems to cater to tour groups. The hotel rooms are spacious and well-equipped, featuring central air conditioning and USB charging ports, so no adapters are needed. Its location is excellent, right near Jonker Street and with the Malacca River just behind it. The only downside might be the small and slow elevator. There's a 100 MYR cash deposit required for the stay, which is refunded instantly upon check-out.

Right outside is the Malacca River, and it's within walking distance to all the main attractions in the city, which is super convenient! The facilities are a bit old but very clean. Most of the staff are Indian, and their service was actually quite good.

They required a 100 MYR cash deposit and insisted I go get cash, which was a bit inconvenient. Other than that, everything else was fine. The environment was nice too, but only the suites had river views.
