Had the best stay in backpackers freak hostel ever! When you arrive, you get a personal explanation about the city, stuff you can do, tourist places, where to get free maps etc.etc. The hostel comes with a good breakfast, nice kitchen, clean rooms, clean bathrooms and a good common room. Ashley and Sean are such good hosts, I recommend staying... More

Had a good stay at backpackers freak with a very simple but clean room! Breakfast very basic but your allowed to use the fridge so you can by some yogurt and stuff your self if you'd like. Only thing we really reacted badly to was all the smoking. As a non-smoker it's actually quite discusting when people smoke in the... More

Hands down, this was the best customer service I have ever received traveling! The owners make it a community environment - they're knowledgeable and courteous. Expect these guys to learn your name on day one and treat you like family by day two. For value, it's the cheapest place in Melaka and breakfast is included with free tea and coffee... More

This is a great little guest house. Decently located between Chinatown and Melaka Raya this hostel is super clean with amazing staff. Also, the free wifi was reliable and fast which is a rare combination in guest houses. Recommended all around! More

The location isn't in Chinatown but it is only a 10 minute walk away and 3 huge malls are nearby in the opposite direction. Breakfast (unlimited... More

I'd been in Kuala Lumpur a couple of days before Melaka, and I was terrified over what was expecting me in Melaka. Turned out, the place was real nice. The AC worked so well I had to rent a blankie. The shopkeeper on duty when we got there reminded me of Paul SR. in Orange county choppers. But he was... More

Very clean hostel, and friendly staff. Very new hostel! Great location, but we personally would have preferred to have been closer to Jonker Street (Chinatown), so it depends what you like! Also included a simple breakfast of toast, butter and jam,which is always great! Beds were comfy, air con was good, the only let down was the shower on our... More

I've been traveling through India, Thailand, Singapore and Malaysia and Backpacker's Freak Hostel is hands down the best (and the cheapest!). The rooms and common space are kept immaculate. The dorms have nice cool aircon (not too cold, just right) and a light breakfast (toast and tea/coffee) is served for free in the morning. Free wifi throughout entire hostel too!... More
