Ramada Plaza Melaka, Malacca, Malaysia

OH MY GOD. I KNOW I HAVE BEEN AWAY FOR WAYYYYYY TOOOOO LONGGGG AND I AM SO, SO SORRY. 

Well, if you were wondering about my disappearance (or not), no I did not die and got resurrected. I just went abroad to study and this blog has been on hold ever since. Urgh. Way to go, right? I just need to learn how the hell to juggle and get my shit together. *Slaps forehead*

So today, after months of not updating this space, I am back and will be blogging about Ramada Plaza Melaka, Malaysia. Its another hotel in my favorite state and no, I do not live in that state. I stay in the heart of Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur. 

HOTEL RATING: 9/10

Overview
Ramada Plaza Melaka, Malacca, Malaysia, is a premier international 5-star hotel managed by the Wyndham Hotel Group, an American hospitality company. With all their newly refurbished rooms that comes with classic wood furnishings and pleasant neutral shades, it definitely provides a comfortable, luxurious stay for all its guests. It only takes a 10-15 minutes walk to most of the famous landmarks like Jonker Street, Christ Church Malacca, and The Stadthuys while it is a 15 minute drive to Melaka Sentral, the largest public transportation terminal in Melaka City, and a 20 minute drive to the Batu Berendam Airport. 

So, I checked-in on the 10th of February, 2017 and it was RM615 for a 2 night stay in their Premier Room, and the price was inclusive of tax and service charge. 

The Premier Double or Twin Room
The Premier Double or Twin Room is a spacious 36m² room featuring river and city views with a choice of either 1 Sofa Bed and 1 Queen Bed, or 2 Twin Beds. Right in front of the bed would be a work desk and a flat-screen TV that hangs on the wall. A sofa bed can be seen beside the bed by the window, and the mini bar and coffee and tea maker set has its own area on a table near the entrance.

The Bathroom
With the shower area and toilet area separated, guests can have a little privacy when doing their businesses without getting wet from the splatters of water from the shower area. Hahaha! The water pressure was good and they were generous with their toiletries.

I was lucky enough to get a room with a view that overlooks the river. It was absolutely beautiful. Just by sitting on the sofa bed and looking out the window made me feel so relaxed. Yes, I enlarged the picture for you guys because seeing is believing. Hahaha!
