Jawa Street Townstay Malacca Review
Last year, my church youth and young adults decided to go for our planning retreat in Malacca, and we found this nice, quaint little townstay hotel really near to Jonker, Jawa Street Townstay.

For us, we booked 3 houses, and the houses have a door in between that we can leave open so that…

Hotel Hallmark Leisure Review
I had to make a last minute booking for our last trip to Malacca, having not really planned it. It was Wesak Day, so most good recommended hotels are full. Then I found the Hallmark Leisure Hotel on tripadvisor and it seemed pretty good. Note that they have 2 branches, another one is called Hallmark Inn. The one I booked was pretty near to town on Jalan Portugis. In fact, we walked to Jonker Street from the hotel. The hotel looked really normal from outside, low cost type. By the way, I paid RM133 for a Deluxe Double (1 queen bed) + 1 added mattress. A Superior room cost RM150…
