Heeren House
This is the place to stay in Melaka for a taste of the local culture.
Started by a local family, the small guesthouse is a r enovated 100-year-old building fur-
nished in traditional P eranakan and colonial style and located right in the hear t of his-
torical European Melaka. All the bedrooms have views of the Melaka River, and outside
the front door of the hotel is a winding str etch of old buildings housing antiques shops.
Just walk out and wander . Small r ooms hav e v ery basic amenities. The r ooms on the
second floor are somewhat larger. Laundry service is available, and there's a cafe and gift
shop on the pr emises. Very friendly establishment r un by a family who is v ery knowl-
edgeable on local events. Reserve well in advance.
