Melaka City
This lovely place in an old traditional home is very good value and away from the crowds. There's a kitchen with free coffee, a decent lounge area, and the double rooms are simple but comfy. The owners are a mine of information and it's only a 15-minute walk into the heritage district.
You can rent out the entire house for a night which is useful for large groups, or if you just want the entire place to yourself.
