I love Malacca, my Dad was stationed there 1959 to 61 at Terandak Barracks. My school camp was Terandak Barracks 1979 typical Army Brats ,jungle survival etc. I returned 2000, 2004 and wouild love to return again. I felt at home in Malacca for some strange reason.

Having grown up on the street, I'm glad that the enigmatic old building finally got refurbished. Glad you enjoyed the stay!

[@andrewtaylor4558]

Wow, guess you have seen a lot of changes! 😊

[@lanatir]

@@andrewtaylor4558 yes over the years. I miss living there very much

[@maryrosed8475]

It looks lovely. I would love to stay in that hotel. Look forward to more of these videos! They are so interesting.

[@andrewtaylor4558]

Thank you so much! 😊

[@lindadorman2869]

What a lovely hotel - I'd love to visit Malaka and stay there someday! It reminds me of my favorite restaurant in San Francisco called Foreign Cinema where they project old foreign films with English subtitles on a huge wall in the outdoor garden.

[@tbnit]

What a gem. Thanks for the tour. I've bookmarked it for my visit to Melaka.

[@andrewtaylor4558]

Hope you love it! 😊

[@vtanson2724]

What a lovely hotel... A fine quintessential example of how a heritage alike hotel should be. Thank you for sharing!

[@bongtzeyong7540]

AMAZING! In my 41 years of life, I have never seen the inside of this hotel before, because I do not need to have a stay there as I have my parents house. Wow... it really blew my socks away. Guess I have to make an exception some day. Thank you Andrew, you're the best!

[@andrewtaylor4558]

Thank you so much 😊

[@moonorashikinahmad9221]

[@hyderalwi41]

Thank you for this video Taylor! Love the ambience and will definitely try this hotel next time in this Unesco listed old city. Btw can you make videos on the green area and parks In KL?

[@andrewtaylor4558]

That’s a great idea, thanks! 😊

[@contrary8880]

Wow...that is a gorgeous hotel. I love all the -coffee- areas (love coffee). The tiles throughout are spectacular. The architecture is just stunning...🤩 Thank you for showcasing Taylor.

[@Dr.Mzungu]

Nice property! Looks relaxing.

[@gabesimmonds8421]

Beautiful!! I have seen similar architecture in Singapore around the Arab street where the old Malaysian cemetery located. Right behind the mosque.

[@lilingloh8061]

Hi Taylo, It is so good that you came to Malaysia. Take care. Its hot! The Met said El Nino may have a powerful effect in June and July. Then temperatures will go up higher. Take care. ❤❤

[@lilingloh8061]

* Sorry, Taylor I mean.

[@1yanfei]

Outside seem small hotel but inside so much going on! 😲

[@andrewtaylor4558]

I was surprised too! 😊

[@seaview9948]

Great presentation Taylor ! Enjoyed that

[@CKology]

Really fabulous!

[@timhanser1943]

Thanks Taylor, I’ll check out the hotels in Malacca in January.

[@kiwibelinda]

Do you think you could do a future video on the best satay stall or hot cold tea coffee drinks like teh tarik ?

[@andrewtaylor4558]

Thanks for the idea !

[@kamelaref9334]

[@katherinelo2590]

Bapa Nyonya style of Malacca hotel! Beautiful!

[@RayMak]

Yassssss

[@rininurzid1743]

Hi Taylor ! i see you out in the sun alot..your face is so red from the burning Malaysia heat. nice to see you out and about. im so jealous. lol 😊

[@andrewtaylor4558]

Yes, I got too much sun in Melaka! I burn easily. 😊

[@minglim5485]

Hello Taylor, I just checked the rates at the Baba Hotel. It is now nearly a year since you stayed there. The rates are now RM1,140 for three nights, an increase of over 60% over RM690!

[@andrewtaylor4558]

Oh my, quite an increase! I have been noticing price increases when I’m looking to travel.

[@minglim5485]

@@andrewtaylor4558 Indeed. This is the topic for your next video, then: given the rising prices everywhere, what is your take on retiring to Malaysia in 2024? The world's currencies (even the crumbling US dollar) should still exist next year but after that, who knows?? Thanks for replying!

[@melongoh1909]

March 2024 rates for 3 nights is no more RM1140, is RM 1740!!!

[@Big-Harry]

what a lovely hotel thank you for sharing Taylor

[@joeshmooo5327]

Oh keck yeah 1st Love you Taylor!!

[@spincube5734]

Thanx for the nice tour Taylor! One suggestion for your next trip.............extra sunscreen !!!!!

[@andrewtaylor4558]

Yes, I burn rather quickly in the tropical sun! I meant to take a hat but forgot one. 😂

[@masturaahmadkamil8619]

Tq. Im Malaysian and enjoy this video

[@AnnieT369]

That mansion was my old teacher's family home.

[@andrewtaylor4558]

That is so interesting! Wow! 😊

[@chongpengsan7425]

Welcome to Malaysia must visit getting highlands

[@fredschwartz5032]

LOVE!!!

[@alexmorgan3435]

I’ve stayed at the Baba hotel, many years ago. It was nice. No Earl Grey? The Chinese are doing a huge off shore land reclamation off the coast of Melacca. It will massively change the area.

[@andrewtaylor4558]

I hope it doesn’t change too much. 😊

[@melongoh1909]

You were very lucky when you had such a cheap rate staying in the Baba House, now the room rates sky rocketed to RM580 per night for the most basic / cheapest room which I didn’t even find nice. And if you add breakfast, is additional RM140 for a pathetic spread of food. I’d rather go out and get better local food. 😂 Not to mention the pool on the roof is so shallow, it’s not even for swimming. It’s scorching hot for Melaka’s weather, it’s as good as a sun tanning roof. 😅 Anyway thanks for the video.

[@andrewtaylor4558]

Thanks for the info!

[@murugandj]

nice 😘

[@andrewtaylor4558]

Thanks

[@sjpanfeng]

the only weak point for me is that the sound insulation of the their door is not good enough that I can clearly hear the noises from their corridor

[@andrewtaylor4558]

Good point 😊

[@teatree6228]

Very Penang like

[@CheCosaTesoro]

Nice hotel. So what about Melaka itself?

[@andrewtaylor4558]

Next video. 😊

[@robertw8666]

No Earl Gray today? I miss him.

[@andrewtaylor4558]

Sorry, no. You will hear him in the next video though. 😂

[@EvolvedBonobo]

Free hotel stay in exchange for KZbin promo video? Or did you really pay the 600RM? ;) Also, friends aside, would you prefer to live in Malacca or Penang?

[@andrewtaylor4558]

Oh my David, such a sceptic 😂 Yes, I paid for the room. I would have said if it was a paid endorsement. 😊 I’m not sure about Penang vs Melaka tho. I would need to visit Melaka more before making that decision. One point in its favour though is its proximity to KL. Much closer! 😊

[@murugandj]

next time u can stay my new apartment in melaka

[@andrewtaylor4558]

I’m happy in hotel. 😂

[@murugandj]

😄

[@tourcox]

Looks delightful 👍
