Stayed three days at Equatorial - its an extremely convenient location, walking distance from Jonker Steet, Baba Nonya Museum, Malacca River, Stadthuys and plenty more We took cabs to go pretty much all over - RM15 from the hotel to most places, except Portugese Sq which had very good seafood at reasonable prices. The hotel overall has friendly staff, a... More

Great Hotel, right in the centre of town, handy for shops, bars , restaurants etc., Little bit of noise from nearby construction, but it seems most of Melaka is a construction site these days. Room and restaurant service in the hotel was great. The free Wi-Fi, was painful, sometimes it connects, sometimes it doesn't, drops out halfway through downloading email.... More

Hello, I was here last weekend with some friends. We are riding from Singapore and stayed one night there. We booked 6 rooms for a total price of nearly $3000. Arrived at hotel and was provided with a cool underground carpark to park our bikes with security guards. Next I proceed to check in hotel, very smoothly done and we... More

We stayed in the Premier Rooms for 2 nights with our baby boy. Room is spacious and looks clean. Great view! Stayed on the 15th floor and am able to see the sea. Great day bed. Toilet is definitely not renovated at all. There is rust at the toilet mirror. Tub has stains and chips. Water temperature is horrible. Extremely... More

It was an unplanned trip to Melaka and though that it will be just as convenient to put a night at a reputable hotel at that hour (mid-night). At last minute check-in, the stay was rather pricy while the maintenance was not too bad but design felt rather outdated. The registration personnel didn't even offer a non-smoking room and assume...

The location is perfect for tourists and shoppers ! Walking distant to enjoy Melaka ....the Heritage City. Wonderful views of the city and spacious, comfortable rooms. Rather crowded as this is one of the more popular hotels. Remember to request for non smoking floors and room as the smell will put you off ! Meal time can be a hassle... More

perfect location, near to a shopping mall and a short walk to old melaka. The rooms are spacious and have a great view of the city. Very comfortable. The breafast buffet is crowded with tour groups, I would suggest you opt for the outdoor seating. Malaysians are heavy smokers, so I would recommend a non smoking room. The pool is... More

There was a very strong musty smell that greeted me along the corridors. It was rather overbearing. Luckily the room was cleared of that smell. Room was rather spacious and had a good sea view with natural lighting. Hotel is very near to two malls. A bit of walk to Jonker street though.

We stayed 2 nights. The hotel is located close to amenities and historical places of interest. We stayed in the club room which offers panoramic views of Malacca, great for sunrise photography. The club room was of good size, but the air conditioning wasn't working well (felt like 26 degrees C even though it was set at 16) and there... More

We stayed here for 4 night in Feb 2013. The hotel is quite nice with a large lobby area, a number of dining options, good sized bedrooms and a nice pool deck. The hotel does not overly excel in any one area, but provides decent service across the board. You get the feeling that it used to be a very... More
