A Peaceful Resort by the Lake - Pullman Putrajaya

This is my second time checking in Pullman Lakeside Resort. The last time was for our company team building some two years ago. I booked Pullman again because I thought it is located on the lake overlooking the Millennium Monument where the 6th Putrajaya Hot Air Balloon was being held. But what I failed to notice was that the lake was large, long and the Monument was on the other side of the lake. The very far end. The hotel is really quite hard to locate as with most places in Putrajaya. Just look for the Putrajaya International Convention Centre. As for me I used my trusty WAZE.

But it’s OK. The hotel is really peaceful for those that want to relax. For those that are in need of activities or nightlife avoid this place. We arrive quite late so we just lazed around. We had the room on the Jasmine Wing which had an Indian Theme. The room was decorated to suit the theme. There is a large bench by the window side. As we were too lazy to drive out, we had dinner in their all day dining restaurant which was reasonably priced and fast.

As the bed was comfortable and zircon was great we woke up late the next day that we missed the morning flight session of the Hot Air Balloon. We later had brunch there.

Even the daily newspaper came in a cloth bag.

A Restaurant on the lake

The Pullman Lakeside is a quiet and peaceful hotel. It’s a great place for Rest and Relaxation. The services there were also very good especially from the Front Desk who went out of their way to help. They even left the counter to open doors and help with baggage. Housekeeping services was good too. I ordered a baby cot and got it a few minutes later with a follow-up call to inquire whether we got our baby cot.

Hatten Hotel Melaka

My Review of the Hatten Hotel in Melaka

We chose Hatten Melaka for two reasons. One was that we could bring my four year old to the Coral Wonderland Aquarium which is just across the road from the hotel. The other reason was that Mahkota Parade was just next door, so my wife could go for her shopping terapy. Check in was a breeze as we checked in on a weekday. Melaka gets really crowded on weekends and holidays, especially hotels around the the historical sites. Parking is located within the Hatton Square which will be a problem on weekends as shoppers will also park there. The hotel is huge and very busy especially at Chatterz their all day dining on level 11 during breakfast. The room we got was rather large with a lounge with a sofa and a large TV. There is also a flatscreen TV in the bedroom. There is no bathtub only a rain shower stall which is ok cause we hardly use bathtubs nowadays. We had the view of the swimming pool so my four year old couldn't wait to jump in especially when he saw the water fountain shooting out from the floor next to the kiddie pool. The swimming pool was located on the12th floor together with the Gym and Sauna. There is also a small bar at the poolside called Splash which serves beverages. There are only two food and beverage outlets at Hatten Melaka, one was their all day dining called Chatterz and the poolbar called Splash. But food shouldn't be problem as there are numerous food outlets around, either at the Mahkota Parade or Hatten Square. The only thing that some might find troublesome is that the lift from the carpark only goes to either the lobby or the 11th floor. From there on you have to change lift to go to your floor by putting your keycard into the slot. But this is a good problem in terms of our safety as non inhouse guest cannot access the floors that have rooms. Check Hotelcombined for best rates in Melaka, Malaysia
