Hostels in Melaka State, Malaysia

I recently stayed at this budget hotel, and unfortunately, the experience was disappointing. While the check-in process via WhatsApp was smooth and convenient, the overall condition of the hotel was poor. The biggest issue was the cleanliness. The room did not feel well maintained, and the bedsheets and towels were old, worn out, and noticeably yellowish, which made the stay quite uncomfortable.

This hostel is absolutely fantastic! The location is superb – super close to the Stadthuys, Jonker Street, and St. Paul's Hill. You can get here directly from Malacca Central Station by taking the M100 bus; it's about a 10-minute walk from the Hatten Hotel bus stop. The ground floor is a common area with a washing machine, dryer, kitchen, and even a media room, plus lots of cats! I stayed on the third floor this time, and you do have to carry your own luggage up, so keep that in mind if you have big bags. It's great that the bathroom, toilet, and washbasins are all on the same floor. The only minor point is that each bed only has one power outlet, which might not be enough, but there are extra outlets in the room that you can use with an adapter, so that makes up for it.

The check in is a bit of a hassle, where you need to contact the owner and they'll give you instructions on how to pick up the keys, where to get them but fortunately the check out is very simple. You just need to drop the keys in the box for check-out. Overall the environment is quite clean, there's a restaurant out front, near the main road so it's very easy to find. But it's NOT near well known locations like river cruise, taming sari, shopping mall.

The cleanliness and tidiness were acceptable. However, there's room for improvement in the service. I checked in at 3 PM and found that the entire room, including the bathroom, had no mirrors. I had to wait another half an hour for someone to install them. Also, the front desk service closes at 7 PM.

I had a really good stay at Discovery Youth Hostel, Melaka. The location is honestly perfect — right in the old town, walking distance to Jonker Street, cafes, night markets, and all the main attractions. The place is simple, clean, and comfortable, exactly what you expect from a good hostel. For the price, it’s totally worth it. The vibe is chill, good for solo travelers and backpackers, and it’s easy to meet people. If you’re looking for a budget-friendly stay in a great location in Melaka, this is a solid choice. Would definitely stay here again.

1. **Location:** Super convenient! It's just a 3-minute walk to Little India and about a 10-minute stroll to Jonker Street. 2. **Food:** Right across the street, there's a huge Indian hawker center that gets really busy at night. Plus, at the corner, there are two authentic local teahouses that are open from morning till afternoon. 3. **Room:** Our room for four was spotless. There were tons of bathrooms and shower rooms available. They even offered free bread in the common area in the mornings!

A nice place, a bit far from the attractions so had to take a taxi but there are lots of places to eat. No elevator and you have to go up a flight of stairs. Nice place for solo travelers.

Well... the location is great. You couldn't find a more central or romantic place to stay. The room is also kind of cozy, definitely old-school. Great view of the river. The owner is incredibly nice. But... We booked 36 square meters. The room was 16 square meters plus a small bathroom without hot water... Taking off your shoes at the front door and walking barefoot through the house is also a matter of personal taste. The offerings urgently need to be revised. And the price is too high for what you get. But still, I'd recommend it for the right kind of renter. But I wouldn't book it again... Too quirky. Too expensive. And far too many barriers throughout the house. The toilet is designed for short people.

A centrally located and newly built hotel. Very pleasant, clean, and cozy interior with comfortable beds and pillows. Great A/C and TV. Things to improve on: slow check in process (~15 mins), most rooms have no windows, toothbrush not provided. Apart from these, one of the better hotels in this small town. Worth the money and very comfortable for 2 a night stay.
