Bravely rented a car larger than what i am comfortable driving, took my 6mth old licence and sped off into Malacca with my best travel partner in tow. Decided to check out The Sterling which i understand is relatively new.
LOCATION
The Sterling is located in Little India - conveniently within 5 - 7 mins walking distance to many eating places, the Stadhuys, St Francis Xavier Chuch, St Paul's Church and several museums. It is 10 - 15 mins walk across the river to the Jonker Street market. Parking is relatively convenient with ample and spacious lots.
ROOM
We took the Leyton room, which is the lead in category with Queen bed. This is good for 2 persons, so if you are travelling with a family you might want to consider the other categories. The room comes with a great rainshower - 3 modes of use : the overhead rainshower, the handheld sprayhead, and 3 small nozzles from which water can be directed to massage your back and neck region. Heard that the Riley Rooms are also popular due to the private jacuzzi that they come with.
MEALS
The Loft serves ala-carte breakfast selections from Classic American style, to Asian delights such as Teochew congee and Nasi Lemak. Juices, fruits and cereals are available buffet styled but do check what you order to see if it is included. Choose to sit in the cozy air-conditioned indoor sitting area, or alfresco...Bravely rented a car larger than what i am comfortable driving, took my 6mth old licence and sped off into Malacca with my best travel partner in tow.

FACILITIES / OTHERS
Decent channels on the tv, wifi is also available in the room and throughout the hotel. We planned to check out on Sunday and the hotel was kind to offer us late check out at no charge. Perfect for lunch then a leisurely drive back to Singapore. Do check with the friendly service staff to see if they can extend the same courtesy (subject to availability)!
The service crew are generally friendly and helpful - especially the doorman. It could be a little hard to get their attention during weekend breakfast turnovers though.
VERDICT
7/10. Will be back!More
