The Discovery Cafe was rated 5th out of 26 similar establishments in Melaka. It was interesting but I woudn't want to spend more than 1 night. It was in an old multi storey building with oodles of atmosphere so all looked good, but our host then said "Follow me" well down the street we went no more interesting house, up... More

We stayed for 3 nights last summer in this beauiful town. Of course there are more luxuriuos places you can stay. But we enjoyed the place. It was clean enough and we had a room in the building across the road so it was not loud at all. We liked the atmosphere, we enjoyed a few cold - and cheap... More

A very small room, they placed me to other building which is separated from the main building. It's new they said, but i found the building is actually an old building, there's a store on the first floor, the area is dirty. I booked double room with shared bathroom for RM 50 which is very small and barely has an... More

Oh man...what a disappointment. Do not understand why this place claims #2 spot in TripAdvisor list (for its category). Thank God we only stayed for 1 night. Likes: • Warm greetings from the hosts. Felt so welcomed. • Live performances during night. Dislikes: • They checked us in late. It was supposed to be 12noon but ended up at 2pm.... More

It was my first visit to Melaka and a friend recommended the centrally situated Discovery Guest House. I arrived with Oscar, an Australian friend, and we took a nice Twin Bed Room for RM40, (20 each). The owner, Bob Teng, as with all the staff, was very helpful in pointing out the local attractions and things to do and even... More

I didn't do any advance booking for my accommodation on this Malacca trip, but by the time I research for accommodation, I already make my mind to stay to this guest house because the review is good for me. So on the day, I took Delima Express bus (RM9) from TBS Kuala Lumpur to Sentral Melaka. In 2 hours time... More

It is just in the very center of the town and its cafe as well the people around creates a wonderful atmosphere. Excellent service and nice rooms, for a very good price. And Mr.... More

The location is really good. 5 minutes walk from the historic part of the town, just next to the river. In the price, you have breakfast and internet. The staff is really friendy and helpfull. You can ask anything, they will... More

I spent one whole week there with the Discovery Cafè family and it really felt like being home, even though I was actually miles and miles away far from it. The owner, Mr. Teng, was the best host I've ever found in my travelling: extremely friendly, helpful and always pleasant to talk to. And so was the whole guest house/café... More

I spent two enjoyable nights here. The staff were all really friendly . Paul in particular was very helpful, really going out of his way to organise a mechanic for a friends motorcycle. He also was able to store my bicycle free of charge. The rooms were clean and comfortable and the walls covered with displays of quirky objects which... More
