Melaka hotels & accommodations
Nice place to stay in Melaka.. hotel above the Shore Mall. Room is big and very comfortable. Modern design. Sharing swimming pool with the Swiss Hotel. Great place to stay.
Having stayed a couple different hotels in Melaka before, I wasn't expecting much but Swiss-Garden is the best so far. Room is clean and ready by the time we arrived at 6pm. The room is comfortable large and basic amenities is readily available. Although the check in is pretty slow as most of us were paying at the counter but for a pleasant stay, it is pretty much forg...
This hotel is superb! Great location - close to center point (about 10 mins drive) and less traffic. Great room and ambiance with modern designs. Good food although would prefer to have wider range of selection for breakfast. As guest, you will also get a complimentary pass to the skydeck (44th floor) where you'll get the chance to view Melaka in 360'! The hotel sits a...
Privacy The bathroom has see through mirror and yes there a blind provided for privacy but it a bit see through and the sides are not fully covered. For solo travelling is fine but I have family with children and joining later in the week for which privacy is an issue. Breakfast. Choice of fruits perhaps can increase. Plus some option for vegetarian breakfast could be ...
Pro: easy to locate, 10 min from ayer keroh toll plaza. Nice food, excellent room n ambience totally worth the money and yes, we definitely list this as our top hotel in melaka. Friendly staff always smile and helpfull. Thumbs up👍👍👍 Cons: thou its a new hotel but its already on its way to excel. Had 1 issue with the cleaning staff but the management is very quick t...
What you see in the pictures shown is what you get. The room is clean, tidy, bathroom spacious with bathtub and separate shower area, like it's so spacious different people can shower and bath at the same time (only if you don't mind being seen) and there is still plenty of room. 1. Room - Our room has a balcony facing the melaka river cruise. At night, the view is j...
Was there for company retreat. Novotel staffs was awesome!! I would like to specially thank Velicia from accor spore, and also Pin Pin & team from Novotel Melaka. Hotel staffs are always smiling and approachable (front counter, restaurant, logistic, ballroom staff etc) & never say NO to our request. A very pleasant stay with you... Sincere gratitude and appreciation to...
I've stayed in different hotels in Melaka before and I am so glad I found this hotel. This hotel is undeniably the best in Melaka. The room was so clean, the beds very comfortable and the bathroom was spotless! The hotel's location is also very strategic that it takes a 15 mins walk to Jonker street, 5 mins walk to a lot of eateries and shopping complexes. To top it of...
We decided to go to Melaka but not sure which hotel to book. Saw this hotel at Agoda and decided to give a try. My family and I were very impressed when we entered the hotel. The hotel was new and clean. The bell boy was alert and assisted my daughter who had problem with her luggage (we entered from side door as we parked away from the main entrance). The check-in...
My stay at 1825 is one of the most pleasant experiences of all my travels across SEA. This place is warm and the interiors are carefully selected and aptly placed making the hallways ethnic yet minimal. The location is walking distance to Jonker street and Dutch centre. The staff are warm and hospitable and extremely friendly. I would totally recommend this place and I...
I am extremely impressive by Bayview Melaka Hotel. The Manager is very enthusiastic when I forgot the luggage in the bus. He tried his best to contact with the bus office to come back to me as soon as posible. I am very pleased with the service and the staffs as well as the manager. I enjoyed my time here. Thanks so much and I will recommend Bayview Melaka Hotel to my ...
We were staying at hotel superior room. We requested king size bed and the room is quite big and ok. The fridge was spoiled but they changed a good one after I informed the staff. The cleaner came to clean our room when we were away and we left our laptop and iPad in the room. Nothing missing. :) Honest cleaners. Breakfast is not in the same building, we have to walk t...
We booked the garden suite for a night, and i must say honestly, i am impressed. Looks exactly as pictured and i personally did not notice a speck of dirt in the room. Well-maintained and cleaned. To be fair, the hotel is fairly new so let's hope that they can upkeep their standards of cleanliness in the years to come. The staff of the hotel were generally very friendl...
This is my first stay in this newly opened hotel in Melaka. The staff were friendly and helpful and alway greeted us with sincere smiles, something rare to see in another part of peninsular Malaysia. The room was spacious, mine was a Straits Suites which overlooking Straits of Melaka, hence the name of this hotel because no matter where your room at, either at left or ...
We had very nice stay at Legacy Melaka Hotel, but the toilet was blocked few times. The duty manager (Sam) try to move us to a better room and bigger but finally the toilet is fixed. Nice effort to comfort us. In the end we stay in the original room, have two big windows with nice view.
- great, great location - right gobsmack in the centre of ayer keroh - surrounded by tourist attractions in ayer keroh; zoo melaka, butterfly park, crocodile park, taman malaysia, etc - surrounded by shops, markets, mamak places and facilities outside the hotel - very near to ayer keroh toll plaza - close to other commercial areas and shopping malls which have kar...
I had a lovely one night stay in Melaka (I live in Singapore, and went over just for a weekend getaway). The room exceeded my expectation, it was large and luxury. The location of the hotel was very good as well, in the heart of Little India. I didn't try the breakfast in the hotel, which could be purchased separately, as there were sufficient food options outside the ...
Great hotel in Melaka. The lobby was excellent as well as the staff, and the rooms were also at a quality to match. The rooms were so comfortable and very spacious, and all of this came at a great price. It's close enough to the tourist areas with just a short taxi ride away. The only downside was every time I called the lobby to get a taxi, the taxi took 30 min or mor...
You just can't beat this position. It right on the canal and so easy to walk 3-5 mins to Jonker st. Hard Rock cafe is around the corner, which is fun for dinner and to watch some live music, if you've done the local food tour. This is our favourite hotel in Melaka, we will probably not choose anywhere else..go out for dinner yet make sure you have the breakfast in the ...
The room was great and value for money, the service and the staff was nice, the location is awesome unless u want to go to the cuty which could be quite a diatant, parking is easy, wifi so so but acceptable, plus they have this cheao and delicious steamboat, rm50 for one group between 4-6 people which is cheap , in conclusion great hotel and i would definitely stay her...
SG1 may be one of the best and most affordable hotels in Melaka. We stayed for a few days and could easily have stayed longer. It’s a 10 minute walk to the centre and situated in a fairly quiet part of the town. If you are walking you need to walk past the old Hotel Equatorial and it’s a few minutes walk on the right hand side. The hotel itself is modern, incredibl...
The location is superb, it is just at the end of jonker street. Free parking is provided, staffs are friendly and helpful. The bed is quite comfy, the room is clean as well. The only downside is the sound proof, I can hear VERY LOUD 'water flowing through the pipe' sound at night (around 1.30am) as the next door neighbor were having their shower and I can hear the nois...
very interesting hotel in melaka. I spent all time in room with my family and breakfast and swimming with my children and lovely wife.very interesting hotel in melaka.

i have booked a deluxe room but there stated it will be either double bed or two single beds. as there is no “special request” column in agoda for this hotel, therefore upon checkin we requested for a double bed. the receptionist told us that we should’ve done the special request when we were booking through agoda and the double bed for deluxe rooms had already fulled,...
Cheap places to stay in Melaka
I reachd there post lunch time. The reception guy was sleeping.I was a bit hesitant to wake him up,But I had to wake him up to check in, then looking at his hospitality, I felt that he would have been sad if I had not woken him up.Got the key (the lock with the key infact, they dont lock the room until someone checks in!) It is a 3 story building, no lift.I went to my ...
if have another rooms left in agoda apps, please check again with hotel due to agoda apps or hotel are wrong updated. i really angry since i book 2 rooms but i get only 1 room & i need pay additional money for new rooms. so disappointing. i will never stay at this hotel
First time stay guesthouse, scare at the beginning, but after that found out is not bad. Like it. Unless the toilet been fixed? Is good also the guesthouse provide us washing machine, so that we can bring less cloth. But not good cause didnt provide much hanger for us, and a place for us to hang wet cloth(i have to hang it in the room and dry with aircond and fan). And...
I like the hotel for: (1) Its location: very close to the Jonker street. In fact, Melaka is quite a small town, and everything is centered around this Jonker/Dutch Square area. From the hotel, you can walk to almost all attraction sites. In fact, I like that the hotel is close, but not actually located in the Jonker street because it's extremely crowded, noisy and m...
a great place to stay in melaka for a short stay. very basic rooms but comfortable and a bargain at the price.
It was really good I consider it one of the best days I had in Malaysia
It takes less than 10 mins to walk to the Jonker Walk and Stadthuys so the location was good.The owners were super nice and they even let me check in ahead of time.Rooms were clean and cozy and the whole hostel was like home.When we left,they drove us to the Melaka Sentral.Thank you so much!If I go to Melaka again,I'll choose this hostel!更重要的是，老板会说中文哦！
Nomaps is not my first choice in Melaka but it made me feel I was so lucky to be there. The location is great. The room might be too small but was very clean and functional. The bathroom was super clean as well, you will love the loft design. The pantry was big, warm and looked really nice when light coming in. The hostel also provided more facilities than I expected -...
This was a very fun experience for us. We've never stayed at a hostel before, so this was a novelty for us. We're a family of four. Our youngest one is 10 years old. Out of all the hostel/hotel accommodations, this was was his favorite. The facilities were clean and there's a staff member on site all day. Right behind the hotel is the Melaka river, which has a ri...
My gateaway to Melaka recently was a very adhoc and spontaneous one. I made my booking at L'armada Guesthouse Melaka when I was on my way to Melaka itself. Made online booking around 9pm and I reached L'armada around 11.30 pm. Upon reaching the hotel my first impression was like, can I just check in to other hotel? Too quite and it feels creepy at night. Unfortunately...
Old building with standard condition for bacpaker. price is not too expensive or cheap. but the advantages was near the tourist center, convinient public transportation, easy to find local food and restaurant. not far away from Makhota Malaca Hospital.
the owner so helpful since we arrived at midnight in Melaka. set the pin for us. i thought the toilet and bathroom were only one! I was wanted to give less star review, but then I found another 2 bathroom and 1 toilet nearby kitchen. Those are clean as well . location is perfect. walking distance to Jonker and Stadthuys. But, I don't know why where we arrived or eve...
Budget hotel in Melaka Town , near by to Jonker Walk from hotel to Jonker walk just 8min , Night Market on Friday , Saturday and sunday only open from 6pm - 11pm.Ts's a Comfortable room and quite new , clean bathroom , comfort bed , Fast Check-in and Check out , Friendly Staff , high recommand will come back agin this hotel.
Nice, clean and quiet dormitory, has an air con to escape the Melaka heat! I was here to cool off from the big city and this hostel provided just that. The hostel relatively new and staffs are super friendly! Extremely good for the money I paid per night! Also don't expect rolls-royce breakfast! But you can cook anything you like in the full size kitchen. Also the shop...
We booked this place whilst travelling Malaysia through Agoda and booked purely on the reviews it got. We arrived later than anticipated at Travellers Planet but we received a warm welcome and he showed us to our room which was large and bright and top of the guesthouse. He also showed us the common longue area for guests where you can laze around, read, watch DVDs, ...
Price are cheap, very comfort, near with jonker street just 5mins walk and near with historical place
Regarding for last saturday 28th nov when i was check in to Doris hotel on afternoon 5 pm but I'm very disappointed because room still under clean .becouse I drive my car from Kuala Lumpur to Melaka so traffic jam here & I also very tired perhap can check in early. I'm can't satisfy why afternoon 5pm still under clean & waste my time to wait . Hope your company can ...
1. Check in was smooth and friendly reception and a warm welcome. 2. Room was great although there is no window. AC is working well and a nice room design. 3 Bathroom were clean and superb. Overall my stay was great and comfortable. Had a great and wonderful time staying here. Will be staying here next time when coming back to melaka. Tq for having us as well. Keep m...
I stay at room 12 at ground floor beside reception area. Room is quite big, but it under staircase. If people walk through the staircase, I can hear people walk and disturb my sleep. So I not recommend if you take room 12 for long stay. Staff are good. This room ok if you consider for cheap price. Furniture is quite old. Location is good as I can just walk to buy food....
Booked the wrong timing for midnight check in but Mr Yoong was very helpful to accommodate changes while contacted agoda for amendments of booking. Certainly one of the best in the area. Three star for location as there were occasional illegal racing and speedsters zipping past during the night (also a windowed, front facing room), not for light sleepers but otherwise ...
This hotel is very cozy. Great location, in the heart of Melaka. The river view is so beautiful, especially in the night. My wife and I spent almost many time just sitting and enjoying the river from the hotel terrace. Ling-ling, the guesthouse owner and manager, give the best service for us. she is very nice. she give me the map, that show us the interesting place in...
The location is great, right in Jonker street, near bus stop (across the back gate of Jonker Walk), The room was quite small, but just the right size for single traveller like me, and the best thing about it was the cleanliness and comfort with properly functioning air conditioner. The mattress was also firm enough and enabled me to sleep well. The shower/toilet was ...
My friend and I decided last minute to drive to Melaka and everywhere was fully booked. Lucky for us, we stumbled across this small hotel. We arrived before 12 and they let us checked into our room and showed us around. 1. Room is quite spacious, so is the bathroom. Hot water was plenty, although I didn't really care about hot water, Melaka is boiling hot . 2. Locat...
Like the decoration of the room even it's quite small in size. Good location, near to melaka raya and jonker street
A little bit far out from the attractions but it's easily fixed with a quick GRAB ride. This was definitely the best hostel I stayed in during my whole month in Malaysia, very clean and chill atmosphere. Can't recommend it enough.
This hotel is located near the Mahkota Melaka Hospital. I accompany my parents to the hospital everyday by walking around 200 - 300 m. A decent distance to use a wheelchair as well. The room isn't so big, but it is enough. It has no windows, but it is clean and no strange odor lingering. I didn't expect my room to be cleaned everyday. However, each time i left the roo...
4-star hotels in Melaka
Nice place to stay in Melaka.. hotel above the Shore Mall. Room is big and very comfortable. Modern design. Sharing swimming pool with the Swiss Hotel. Great place to stay.
It was the best place where I have stayed in Melaka. Really enjoyed it. I would recommend this place for family gathering, business group trips and etc. They have water park (non-motorised), 9D motion theatre, video games etc, and of course they have food services door delivery at reasonable price. Best place to stay and enjoy!

We stayed last Saturday in this hotel. We had booked a normal standard room with 2 breakfasts and front liner gave us 1 double bed and 1 single bed. It’s giving us more than adequate for our family of 2 adults and 1 child. Check in was smooth and performed very fast check-in procedue. Staffs were polite, friendly and well trained. The room was very clean and comfortab...
I heard great reviews about ibis hotels. This is my first time booking their hotel. Being new hotel in Melaka which completed like last year, the facilities are pretty new. The room is spacious and bed is very comfortable to sleep in. In additional, this is the first time I book that the hotel room got bolster! The location to Stadthuys and Jonker Street is about 15 mi...
A truly wonderful experience! We really enjoyed it! The hotel is absolutely modern, clean, warm and cozy at the same time. Beautiful room with a full view window of the city and everything was new, clean, sophisticated and very much worth the money. None of the previous hotels in Melaka were as good as This was! I shall return to it many times in the future. The swimmi...
We were disappointed when we could not fly Jogjakarta with the volcano eruption. Impromptu , we booked a trip to Melaka instead. Via Agoda, we found this new hotel, The Settlement Hotel. Thanks to Agoda. The short two days trip to Melaka surprisingly turned out to be a wonderful one. The stay in The Hotel was really good quality. The bed was firm and comfy. We sp...
Treasures Hotel & Suites are great value for money as I booked six rooms for my big family during our Melaka visit. It was also only a 10 minutes walk to the Jonker area through Little India. I would definitely book this boutique hotel again next time I visit Melaka. More importantly, the service provided by their manager, Brian, was above and beyond, as he arranged...

I had the most amazing stay here at Hilton Doubletree, Melaka. Staff were all very nice ( i had so many questions and request but they were very friendly all the while) Welcome cookies were great, exceptionally delicious though i had to ask for the cookies (they usually give out at the reception desk so don't forget. cookies are the best). The swimming pool was nice. B...
Overall is cleaned and facilities is good. worth the price. However the price was very different in few days. I booked the hotel at 60 dollars and just 3 to 4 days later, the price drop to 42 dollars. Have to check for few days for the price different. thank you.
New hotel, fresh and clean. The best Breakfast even hotel in Melaka! you guys should try and book the room. We stay at Deluxe room, king and single bad for 3 including breakfast. worth buying! We will come again and the staff are friendly and helpful. Good job MITC Hotel
When we reached Melaka we travel using GPS, we have difficulty locating the hotel because of the hotel "Name Sign". We had passed by the hotel 3 times then we realized that its Midcity Hotel Melaka. We were looking for "MIDCITY" but the hotel name sign is too small. Should emphasize on the MIDCITY instead of MELAKA HOTEL. However, the check in was very smooth and fast...
Although I only travelled alone, I chose this apartment as my accommodation in melaka. The price is quite affordable for a solo traveller and it's really quiet and of good conditions. You can enjoy the gym and swimming pool with no additional charge by using your room key. Although it has a short distance about 20mins walk from the apartment to Jonker Walk. However, us...
The hotel was superp beautiful and scenery of Bandar Melaka when nighttime is amazing (city view room). Overall the room is clean and tidy, air conditioner working at it best dont feel hot when daytime and the best thing is the room was large event you book the most economical type, to many maybe its quite expensive but thing about your peace of mind its is worth it. ...

Casa del Rio has the best possible location in Melaka - by the riverside right next to the visitor magnets of Jalan Tan Cheng Lock and Jonkers Street, with the historical Stadthuys and others sights a few more steps away. What's most impressive about the hotel is its service. You're greeted with smiles, and staff are generally knowledgeable and try their best to be...
I stay for 2 nights three days . The stay was fantastic. Everything of the the hotel was wonderful . I have stayed in many 5 star hotel across the world but this hotel stands out. The staff are so dedicated and friendly to ensure your stay is comfortable. Special mention goes out to the counter staff Maureen UY. This hotel have all the facilities a family with kids ...
The room & the pool is big, bed is comfortable. Food is easily found around the apartment. Must go to this apartment if you are planning to go to Melaka, because you will have no worries in the apartment. I strongly recommed most of you come to this amazing place!
Management office is not near by this apartment, not easy to us if no transportation. No telco line inside the apartment. But all this are not important.. im happy stay here due to very clean, and nice apartment, a lot of facilities. Will book again this apartment when i go melaka.
i came to melaka because my wife was having 2 days course in equatorial hotel. however we choose to stays in majestic because it is rated as top hotel in melaka. my wife's course starts at 0830, and i have arrive the hotel at 0900 to check out when can i check in. i was ask to have a seat and have some tea in their unique, nice, antique looking hotel lobby. few mom...
Definitely the best Homestay that we have occupied. Maybe the kitchen could be a little bit more equipped though but, of course we can understand that people go on holidays not to cook. Having kids we needed to cook. Anyway it’s a lovely place, will recommend to family and friends and definitely will go back again. Thank you for maintaining your home so well.
The Kahaani is without exaggeration a unique former colonial governor's mansion skillfully transformed into an intimate hotel in a quiet corner just outside of historic Malacca. Rather than pick one of the many Malacca coast hotels available I chose The Kahaani for its proximity to lake Tasek Durrian Tunggal's historic mosque Masjid Datuk Machap (in the Chinese village...
The 3-room unit we stayed was excellent. It was actually a landed Semi D not apartment. There were 3 rooms in each unit(floor) and the best thing is every room comes with a washroom! The unit was very clean and everything you need for a stay, or rather, everything a 4 Star hotel room provides is in there. The owner was very friendly and accommodating. Location was ver...
It was really clean, tidy and comfortable place that i have been in Melaka. The beds were definitely more comfortable than those you get in hotel. After a super tiring day, it was a reward to be on the bed. I will definitely recommend this place and visit myself again the next time im in Melaka. It's highly recommended for family groups, as the place is very convenient...
I don't think its exaggerate to said this is the best "home" accommodation i have stayed so far. 1. The owner is so friendly and thoughtful. me and my family travel during CNY. As we scared it will be jam, so we depart at 5am and reach around 10 am. all of us are tired and we wish to check in earlier, around 1pm(normal check in time is 3pm). I try to contact the owner...
Apartment at mahkota hotel, at the best floor (18) can see very nice views.. very comfortable clean.. me and my friends very excited and happy for this apartment.. thank you.

Atlantis Residence is a nice place to stay with complete facilities plus extra large pool for kids and adult. Sure will stay again.
This apartment is on 23rd Level facing pure seaview overlooking Pulau Besar and Portuguese Settlement on the right. Nice place to relax. Element Mall shops are not that much and no food options there. Locations wise is a little far from major attractions but Grab does a good job to bring around with good fares. Try to avoid Taxis as they are rippers. Sky Deck observati...

The place is clean and equip with lots of facilities. There are plenty of eatery at the surrounding area. Affordable prices and good parking convenient.
My pleasant stay on the weekends this is one of the best places stayed in Melaka. The place is so clean and well maintained and depicted as you see in photos and attracting swimming pool will ensure to spend time,and great value for money for the pax 4-6 people.
We were a group of 14 within an extended family who came to celebrate the 92nd birthday of our aunt. The homestay was beyond our expectations. It was so clean, well designed and had everything we need. Everyone had a had comfortable and good night sleep. Some felt the pillows were a bit flat but it was okay for me. The host Eric was very helpful and prompt in his re...
A nice place to stay but must upgrade the cleanest especially in the toilet. Very comfortable
Very new house for big family and big group. Good location. Very comfort. Thanks to friendly host. We have special request to have party there... owner organised the buffet for us with cheap price. will come back again.
