2-Star Hotels in Melaka, Malaysia

Over all, super value of money hotel in the city. Strongly recommend this in Melacca.

This hostel is very good at his location, easy to approach Jonker Street and many valuable scenics, clean and tidy,. Most thanks to the counter service male Esya who assist me carrying luggage to third floor, helping to solve all other queries. This living make me a satisfy travel With Maleka and Malaysia.

The hotel has provided the facilities as committed in their booking-page in the acceptable condition to their customer, i.e. me. Despite it is a budget hotel only and the overall appearance is slightly vintage :D, the room, the bed/mattress/blanket, bathroom, showering water heater, etc. are still clean and in acceptable condition. Besides, if communicated/spoken to the hotel, it has self check-in option for the check-in after business operation hour, i.e. mid night. Travelers can acquire the room key/card by themselves from a locker with a provided pin code. These enable me to have a good rest after making an urgent booking in night time, travel over 100km then reach the hotel at 1.30 a.m. mid night. The attached photos show the self check-in/out facility, public drinking-water-dispenser and fire extinguisher. Although I can't expect much from a budget, I would like to suggest that the air-con in the room to have service/maintenance so that it won't produce much noise. By the way, the noise only distract us slightly from having rest. After all, based on the offered/discounted price, the room is satisfactory and recommended.

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.

The location is great, just about a 10-minute walk to Jonker Street if you turn left outside the guesthouse. There's a newly opened market (pasar) in front of the guesthouse, operating from 6 AM to 11 AM, where you can buy inexpensive fruits. I bought fresh passion fruit for 12 RM per kilo; the owner told me he only gets 10 kilos daily from a local supplier. If you walk right for about 5 minutes, you'll find the Jonker Street Tea Restaurant, a 99 mini-market, and a KK Mart, which is very convenient. Upon checking in, I did find a small cockroach on the floor in my room, but thankfully, the rest of the place seemed clean. There was only one large bottle of shower gel, no shampoo, toothbrushes, or cups provided. There's a water dispenser next to the front desk, so remember to bring your own water bottle to fill up.

The best part was getting a tidy room close to both the elevator and stairs. More importantly, it's right in the city center, making it easy to walk everywhere. There's also parking available for cars.

Our check-in experience was a bit stressful. We arrived at 17:00 and the door was locked. When a staff member arrived later, they weren’t able to check us in immediately and kept calling someone without explaining what was happening. It would be helpful if someone were always available during check-in times to welcome guests. The first room we were given had a lot of mold on the walls, and the shared bathrooms and showers were very dirty. They were not cleaned during our three-day stay. However, we want to highlight the professionalism of Navira, who quickly came to assist us. She was polite, kind and genuinely willing to provide excellent service. When we requested a room change due to the mold, she immediately arranged a better room for us. This completely turned our first impression of the hostel around. The new room was spacious, clean and comfortable, with both a fan and air conditioner. We truly appreciate Navira’s help and friendliness, which made our stay much more enjoyable.

The hotel's location is excellent, right at the end of Jonker Street. It's incredibly clean, exceeding my expectations. The owner is very friendly and speaks excellent Chinese. There's even a self-service hot water dispenser in the hallway, which is super convenient. It's easy to get to all the attractions in Malacca; you can just step out and explore Jonker Street, try various foods, or stroll along the river by the Dutch Red Square. Although it's lively outside, the hotel rooms are surprisingly quiet.

It's worth more than the price, the location, the facilities. I paid less than RM50 per night (not including the RM50 deposit). The bathroom and showers are amazing. The heaters is 5/5 stars, complete with shampoo, soap, towels. We got a window with the city view. The room is big and very comfortable, the air-conditioning is fully functioning. A lot of space for prayers. I'd definitely book this hotel again, next time.

I stayed at Asiatic Hotel Melaka and booked the Family Suite with jacuzzi. The room was spacious, clean, and well-equipped with a living area, balcony, and in-room spa bath. While it’s not a true duplex layout, the suite still felt roomy and comfortable for families or groups. The jacuzzi was definitely the highlight – perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring the city. Amenities such as WiFi, smart TV, minibar, and toiletries were all provided, making the stay convenient. Parking is available in front of the hotel, free but limited on a first-come, first-serve basis. If you arrive during peak hours, you might need to circle around to find a spot. Location is excellent – close to major attractions like Jonker Street, A Famosa, and shopping malls (Dataran Pahlawan, Mahkota Parade). There are plenty of eateries and convenience stores nearby, so dining is not an issue even though the hotel doesn’t have its own restaurant. One small downside is the soundproofing; you can sometimes hear noise from the hallway. The lift is also on the smaller side, so it can get busy during peak times. Overall, Asiatic Hotel Melaka is a great choice if you want a spacious suite with jacuzzi, free parking, and a central location. It’s comfortable and good value, especially for families or friends traveling together.
