The Grand Southern is a budget hotel located at the fringe of the Malaccan town and is about 15 minutes by car from Bandar Hilir. It occupies the upper levels of a four-storied building and is surrounded by several restaurants and shops selling a variety of goods and services. The room furnishings are basic although all the rooms are air-conditioned and come with attached bathrooms. The hotel caters mainly to budget travelers and the occasional backpacker.
With only about 10 rooms, it is perhaps the simplest type of lodging located in the heart of Melaka Raya. The room rates are highly affordable and will suit even the most cash-strapped backpacker. A big television set in the main hall is by far the only sign of luxury. The guesthouse is surrounded by shops and eateries, so you will have a good time exploring around. A short stroll will bring you to the many attractions left behind from the town's Portuguese past.
A handsome hotel strategically located at the entrance of the famed Heeren Street, it serves as a smart visual introduction to a street where first the colonialists, then the rich and notable, used to set up homes. All rooms are tastefully furnished in a nostalgic Straits style (some with four-post beds) and come complete with good views of the Malacca River. In addition, its small capacity ensures consistently high standards of service.
