When we travel we like to stay as much as possible in locally owned hotels. Turns out that this hotel is owned by a Singaporean academic who has a passion to collect antiques. The whole concept of this hotel is fascinating.....beautifully decorated, the swiftlets nesting in the Swallow Hall and the antiques. We had a family room which was very... more

Just came back from a trip to Melaka. Stayed at Hotel Puri for 2 nights. This is a hotel with strong peranakan flavour. Room was adequate and clean. Free bottled mineral water were provided which was great! However bed was a bit squeaky. Could it be because the previous person who slept on the bed was too heavy and spoilt... more

My husband and I have just returned from a short break in Malaysia. We caught a taxi from LCCT airport to Melaka at a cost of 159RM ($55.55c australian). For a journey that took nearly 2 hours, we thought this was very good value. We stayed at the Puri Hotel which is just around the corner from Jonker Street. The... more

Stayed at this hotel for 1 night late Oct. We drove from Singapore and it was great that the hotel provided secure parking in their small parking lot. The room was small but quaint, just like the rest of the hotel. Air-con in room was a little weak but after a while it got cool. Small bathroom with tiny shower.... more

This would be my third time staying at Hotel Puri. Nice hotel in an excellent location. In the heart of Malacca old town and just a street behind Jonker St where you get a pasar malam (night market) on Saturdays. Rooms are basic and clean but could do with a curtain at the window. The light shines in when the... more

My wife and I checked in late after being disappointed with another hotel we had booked. We were very impressed with the check in, as Hazamilah was great and helped us throughout our stay. We thought we would only stay one night but it ended up to be four. The hotel was just what we wanted, after doing tours of... more

Stayed over the weekend 9Oct. We booked well in advance although hotel is full we got what we requested. (ground floor, connecting rms) It is a beautifully restored peranakan house. Everything is within walking distance if you don't mind the heat. (Jonker street,St Paul's Church,Mahkota) Hotel also provide a useful map of the restaurants nearby. Superior rooms are spacious and... more

We booked Hotel Puri based on tripadviser reviews and it is a lovely building and hotel. However I did feel it was a bit over-rated for the price. Our standard room was quite small and dark, however the communal areas of the hotel were very tastefully done out. The courtyard where we had breakfast was lovely and breakfast was good,... more

my son checked on the nesting swallows in the hotel a few times each day. haha he is only seven years old, but then again, i have never seen swallows before either as i'm city girl from kl. It was a culturally rich setting, my husband and I loved the aesthetic. The experience was infinitely superior to a soulless chain... more
