Tan Kim Hock Hotel, Melaka

Advantages: Good cheap hotel and excellent location
Disadvantages: Busy - but very popular

...It was a very good place to stay - it was a cheap hotel with a convenient location. The prices where very good and the staff friendly.

Its a friendly place with parking right outside and this nice chicken restaurant right outside on the ground floor. The coffee shops are near by. The rooms as good and many types if you need a large room for a family or your relatives are staying with you. It was nice to have an adjoining room for my kidss. It recommend it again to anyone....
