Ringo's Foyer

Melaka City


Staff do a great job keeping the atmosphere at this old-style backpacker joint sociable, particularly in the laid-back rooftop cafe-bar. Beds in the 18-bed dorm are curtained, and have power points and reading lights. Doubles are super-basic and bathrooms could do with an upgrade. Facilities include bike rental, a book exchange and a cheap laundry service.
