Another nice hotel....

Jonker Boutique Hotel
When I first saw the picture of Jonker Boutique Hotel on the internet, I was honestly not impressed. The grey exterior didn't appeal to me at all and I quickly jumped to the conclusion that it must be one of those dodgy budget hotels.

I would have made a big mistake if I didn't go to the Tripadvisor to search for recommended hotels in Melaka and surprise surprise, Jonker Boutique Hotel was ranked third! I checked out the rooms immediately and boy, they took me by surprise! All the rooms are nicely decorated and some are so spacious that they could fit 2 queen sized beds comfortably. Without hesitation, I called the hotel up to check on room availability. They gave me both good and bad news... The good news is, their grand deluxe (largest) room was still available for the first night of our stay. The bad news is, the same room type was fully booked for the second night of our stay but the premium deluxe room is still available. The difference between the two is that the beds in the latter are smaller. For the sake of being able to stay there, I decided to go for it ie book the grand deluxe room for the first night, then shift to the premium room for the second night.


The rooms, especially the grand deluxe room, didn't disappoint. They are really as good as they look on photos. We stayed in room 109 for the first night and 206 for the second night. I fell in love with room 109 the minute we stepped into it. It is incredibly big despite the fact that there are 2 queen sized beds. The bathroom is very nicely decorated too.


Bathroom in Grand Deluxe room - love the flower decor 

Very comfy queen sized beds
  Room 206 is not bad too, loved the beautiful black and white wall paper. I was quite happy with the room until I saw some tiny red ants (Yikes!) crawling on the wall in the bathroom.


All in all, except for the need to climb the staircase to go to our rooms, it was a good stay in the hotel and I will not hesitate to return for my next trip!
