Guesthouse

In Melaka I am staying in a guesthouse / hostel where you can get a dorm room for under $10 CDN, a private with two beds and shared bathroom for about $20, and a very nice room with queen size bed and private bathroom and shower for about $30. 

I splurged and went for a private room at $18.

From the street...easy to miss...

Reception

Friendly concierge Carson

Common area where you can meet everybody

Still downstairs

Heading to the kitchen...one of the nicer things about a hostel

Breakfast is served here

And you can make your own food...and keep your beer cold

There is something new baked every day for an afternoon snack

Let's go upstairs.....

Everything super clean here....the owners really take pride

Bathrooms double as shower rooms....very common in Asia

Lots of space to hang out

I am up on the top floor...where I like to be

Front patio near my room....with a great outdoor shower

Nice to shower under the sunshine

Back patio...get's lots of sun and people hang out in the evening

Ingrid comes to Malaysia ever year for the winter

Nice thing about two beds...you can empty your pack and spread out your junk

A little desk is a big luxury in a hostel

Here for three days....really great place to relax
