3rd work trip to Malaysia - Malacca. Colleagues arranged car to and fro Malacca from JB so I just followed ;) Accommodation at Avillion Legacy Melaka Hotel. Corporate rate S$88 including breakfast. The lobby looks grand but the guest room is damn lousy! I'd give it only 2.5 start (of 5 stars). Hotel is not situated in town centre where Mahkota Parade is. Taxi ride from Legacy to Mahkota cost RM15. The return trip was RM12.
Hotel lobby
The linen has a smell ;( My colleague in the other room said he felt itchy!
TV remote was not working. Not many channel options, bad reception for some channels.
Bathroom which needs refurbishment too. The bath tub was definitely "uninviting" haha!
View from the 14th floor - I suppose this was the best loh haha!The breakfast was as bad hahaha!! We only had a few mouthful and headed for tim sum recommended by a taxi uncle the night before. For 5 mini dishes, 3 pork buns, 1 lor-mai-gai and 1 pot of tea, it cost only RM13 for 3 persons. Food was ok and I love the pork bun! So soft!
Best thing that happened that morning was the lady boss of the tim sum coffeeshop. She was such a big-hearted lady! It rained heavily and we couldn't get back to our hotel (which is only a 5min walk). Waited for taxi in vain for about 15min. Then the auntie came forward and offered to help us find taxi drivers in her coffeeshop. And so, we got one ;) She even got her staff to shelter us with big brollies to the taxi. So nice of her! Next time when I go Malacca, I must go to the tim sum place again. Everyone, please go too!! Err.. I don't know the address but you can ask based on the name of the shop ;p Apparently very famous wor...
