    Honestly, this is where I'll stay if I were here on a trip with Hubby. Not only is this place more atmospheric and cheaper than the hotel I mentioned above, it is in the heart of town, in the midst of all the little streets, antique shops and great restaurants...
    The only cons to choosing this place are the small interior and the lack of parking facilities. You'll need to park your car a couple of lanes away from the narrow street where the hotel is.

    I was told that this joint used to be a luxury home belonging to a millionaire named Tan Kim Seng and it's actually situated in a millionaire's street.

    I like this place since the first time browsing on the net. The Peranakan style in architecture looks very nice. Added with historical story of its place and old stuffs, from bullock cart to ceramic ware and wood carvings make this Hotel Puri so gorgeous.

    I saw the swallow flying in the evening, entering the museum room of Hotel Puri. It's cool. Then my room on 3rd floor, every morning I open the window, I find the roofs of Chinese houses style. Nice, nice, nice ....

    Hotel Puri Melaka is the historical city's premier boutique hotel. It is located within the Jonker Walk area in the heart of the old part of the city. Being in Jonker Walk area, the hotel is surrounded by antique and bric-a-brac shops and it is only a stroll away from Malacca's historical precinct.

    As a boutique hotel, it is housed in a carefully restored Peranakan house (built in 1876) which once belonged to the decendants of an eminent philanthropist and rubber plantation owner, Tan Kim Seng. Extending 100 metres long, its distinct characteristics are its beautiful and intricately decorated façade and the impressive length of the house. Retaining its old charm, Hotel Puri Melaka provides modern amenities to its hotel guests.

    I selected Hotel Puri because the things I read in VT, but I found Hotel Puri much better than I thought It will be. So cute, so full of history, so special, something a modern hotel will never can offer. Good breakfast, with internet, a beautiful Patio with Bar. The location of Hotel Puri is just the best. 99 RM with breakfast

    Ok... no I didn't stay here. But as soon as I do, I'll revise this tip how's that? The website looks pretty good, so check it out.

    It just looked pretty from the exterior already. The newly painted facade made it stand out from the rest of the hotels on the street. Hey, they say first impressions count, right!

    - A great history of the hotel, check it out.
    - Breakfast is not good.
    - Tends to be noisy in the morning due to kids "stomping" along the corridors.

    Centrally located at Jalan Tan Cheng Loke which is the street beside Jonker's Street. Walking distance to the St Paul's Hill, Dutch Fort, St Xavier's Church, Christ Church area and even the Maritime Museum.

    Basing on my experience, dated May 2005, I would definetely say Hotel Puri is the place to stay if your are looking to a mid-level accomodation and a great base to visit Melaka.

    Hotel Puri is a boutique hotel with level of service typical of a three-star hotels: no luxury but absolutely comfort and cleanliness. My room was large, clean and comfortable. The location of the hotel is great, right in the heart of Chinatown, in the old Heeren St, the historical street where the old peranakan houses are lined up, one street off Jonker St. You will be right in the heart of Chinatown and you will walk to almost whatever touristic attractions in town.

    The real plus though is the setting: the hotel is located in an old peranakan house, very well preserved and maintained, with the lobby and the common area furnished with antiques and art from the Baba-Nyonya heritage (see pictures attached). Eventually you will enjoy comfortable accomodation, great location and complimentary visit to a kind of musum of Baba-Nyonya heritage.

    If I had to go back to Melaka as a tourist, I would definitely return at Hotel Puri.

    The hotel is marvelous. Clean rooms and pretty efficient A/C system for every room. Architecture of this old building is interesting. Cafe is nothing to shout about but the surrounds are its strongest points. Places to eat flank it on the street and across it. Jonkers Walk (Jln Hang Jebat) is just behind it. Cross the bridge at the end and you will reach The Stadthuy's and all the integrated museums there, Bukit St Paul and the last standint A'Famosa gateway.

    Highly recommended if you want to be close to Melaka's historic attractions.

    Staff are very friendly and the hotel does boast its own "parking lot". Just drive there and let them take care of it. Best if you inquire in advance and tell them you are driving. The lot limited.

    Rooms are affordably priced at MYR200 per night with breakfast included.

    Second hall after the front desk has swallows nesting at the corners of the ceiling. I sincerely hope they do not chase them away.

    Boasts a tiny history room for those who need an introduction to Melaka's rich past.

    House was owned by a prominent Melaka resident and was restored to be Hotel Puri as it stands today.

    Hotel Puri is a restored heritage house which was formerly the ancestral home of the family of Tan Kim Seng (1805-1864), a third generation Straits Chinese, more commonly known as Peranakan. The building façade and lobby still maintain the classic Peranakan architectual style. In contrast, the rooms are rather plain, although still comfortable with all the modern hotel amenities. The breakfast buffet is adequate but nothing great. Good value for money though. Overall, a good choice is you are planning to tour the historical sites of the old city.

    The best part of Hotel Puri is its location. Right in the heart of the old Peranakan district, which still contains many fabulous mansions from Melaka's glory days as a colonial trading center. Also, only a block from the great Jonker Street night market and a short stroll to the river and colonial attractions. Also worth noting is that they have their own secure parking area, so be sure to ask the doorman about it when you check in.
