A river which flows through the middle of Malacca City. Did you know it used to be a vital trade route during the heyday of Malacca Sultanate in the 15th century?

#lifeatexpedia #my2016
The river was the main artery of trade for Melaka in its heyday when it was bustling with traders from all around the world. 

Some buildings from that era still stand majestically by the river, which is also lined by old villages, or kampungs, and modern day buildings.

8/10 Very Good! (1,005 reviews)
Spa definitely worths the money! Very relaxing with good price. And they also have a very good business lounge and a nice gym. But the towels in my room are a bit dirty, the lighting is a bit too dark.

9.2/10 Wonderful! (263 reviews)
Room was spacious and clean with great aircon. Infinity pool was very relaxing and location was a small walk into main area but Grabs also very cheap if u didn’t want to walk. The only thing I would recommend is a small bar at the pool area other than that perfect stay.
