Layang Layang Guest House 28 – 29 May 2014

This time around in Melacca, we stayed at Layang Layang Guest House. It was highly recommended by Daddy as I did call up for a stay and booked for 28th and 29th of May.

We were at A’ Famosa Theme Park for the whole morning and children were enjoying the Water Theme Park. Besides this Water Theme Park, there are Safari Wonderland and the Old West.

But, we had decided not to go for it, after seeing the Old West is a bit wear off and the Safari World, as if we were staying to play all the Theme Parks, it would be very late for us already, to drive down to Melacca town.

Thus, Mummy called up Layang Layang Guest House as we would like to check in earlier.  Fortunately they still have rooms available for us.

Layang Layang Guest House is an old building, whereby the owner of the building striving their very best to preserve the building and the guest house was awarded this recognition by the world heritage organization.

And, their warmth and hospitality that extend to every guest who chooses to stay with them have let the travellers around the world in giving their good credits for the guest house.

Once we entered the guest house, we were welcomed by the receptionist. And, it is a spacious waiting area, where there are some board games, guitar, chess board, card games, for the guests to use.

What attracted me was the wall paintings – a layang-layang (kites) on the clear blue sky. On our way to our room, there are bicycles which can be on rental for the guests if they want to.

The handcrafted wooden furniture, the wall paintings, and the decorations are really pieces of arts.

Not mentioning the fish pond, and the courtyard garden in the centre of the guesthouse. There is an un-use well there too. The children were so excited when they reached here and see all these lovely interior decorated guest house.

In the public areas of the guesthouse, complimentary wireless internet is provided.

There are a total of 8 shared bathrooms with hot shower. Although the guest house offer only shared bathrooms, they are spacious, neat and clean with unique laboratory design and equipped with quality toilet amenities.

Personally, we did not feel or experience any inconvenience on this count. The washing basins areas is so nicely done up, with the unique stone basins installed on top of the bare finish concrete top.

The kitchen area is well-appointed and the guests can enjoy free coffee, tea, alkaline water, and/or biscuits at anyone convenience. A large fridge is also convenient for us to keep own bottles or other stuff that needs temperature control. But, we do not use the fridge.

We do enjoy our stay here as it is really comfortable, relaxing, clean and the most affordably priced accommodation in a hospitable environment with friendly staff, as well as its proximity to Jonker Street, Kampung Keling Mosque, Stadthuys (Red Square), St. Paul’s Church, and many other attractions offered by Malacca.

We definitely will come back next time if we able to book it. As the Layang Layang Guest House is very difficult to book as it is very popular among the travellers.

We love this place!
