I have been staying in this hotel each time I visit Malacca. Stayed in the Premier room which has an excellent unobstructed view of the Malacca Straits. These rooms are refurbished with new furnishings which makes it more pleasant than the Deluxe rooms. Staff of this hotel are warm and friendly. For instance, after checking in, the front desk lady...

The booking was make thru Luxury Tours and Travel at Concorde Hotel Singapore.The check-in process takes about 5 minute and we were asigned with a high floor room with city view from our balcony.

The hotel has a great location. It is an easy walk to the old town and the river and there is a huge shopping mall steps from the hotel. The hotel itself is beautiful and the corner rooms are spectacular. The service in the hotel was excellent and the breakfast buffet offered a great selection. I would rate it very... More

The biggest plus point for this hotel is the fact that it is in the main shopping district - where various food joints and amenities are in easy reach. It is a stone's throw away from the cultural and historical sights as well. The hotel itself has all the standard amenities you would expect from a 5-star hotel. I was... More

We did a cooking course at Hotel Equitotial in Melaka and it was outstanding. It was just so difficult to find a place to learn nyonya cooking here but once we did we were delighted with the choice....cannot believe they do not advertise this more as it was wonderful. We cooked a chicken dish, a prawn and pineapple stew and... More

I stayed in this hotel many times over 10 years because they have one of the best convention hall in Malaysia and there are not many choices then beside Reinnassance. And with 2 children, a swimming pool is good. But given a choice now, the relatively new Holiday Inn nearby is our top list. It's a family oriented hotel with... More

We stay in other hotels in Malacca before, but Equatorial will always be our 1st choice. It is so popular and often full if we only call 1-2 weeks ahead for a long weekend holiday. Book early if possible. The reason why we love it so much : - good centralized location, all attractions, shopping, good food within walking distance... More

The hotel is very well maintained with every amenities all working well. Check-in was a breeze within 5 min. Comfy bed, specious and clean with a bath tub.... More

It was a last minute decision to visit Melaka and I booked a room before setting off from Kuala Lumpur. On arrival at the hotel I realised that I had made a booking for the following Saturday by mistake. The reception staff were initially uncertain of how to handle this but eventually told me that they had a room available... More
