3 of 5 stars Reviewed June 18, 2013 NEW

Stayed 4 nights. Rooms have been upgraded with new Tvs. Staff service also seems to have improved. Overall a decent return stay. Its convenient given the proximity to the 2 malls, food across the street and Jonker nearby.

I stayed at the equatorial for one night. The check in was efficient as I had arrived early, however the room was ready and so I was able to check in straight away. The room was very spacious and had a sea view. I paid for the breakfast which was fine and had everything I needed. I made use of... More

I stayed at Hotel Equatorial Melaka from the 5th to the 9th of June, as part of an annual church retreat in an old standard room on the lower floors. My room was rather small compared to the rest due to the awkward curvature of the building. Location was good, hotel was in fact less than 30 seconds by foot... More

Stayed from 27-28 May, 2013. As I was told by our guide, Equatorial is one of the two 5* rated hotels in Melaka. The next 5star hotel will be the buiding accros the street which was under construction. Equatorial just a minute walk from Dataran Pahlawan shopping malls which is in front of the hotel, 5 minutes walk from Starbuck... More

Stayed from 30/5 to 1/6 in a Premier Room. As mentioned by other reviewers no lift from car park to entrance so put down luggage at the entrance before going to the car park if you have a lot of luggage. Checked in at around 4pm on 30/5. Took just 5 minutes. Was given room 1712. Do be careful entering... More

The location is good. Rooms are a bit old but has good views. Service is normal. Location is ok, not the fault of the hotel but it is on a one way street. Missed it and you drive another round. There are a lot of shopping areas around it and will offer a nice stroll to the nearby attractions.

We stayed at the Hotel Equatorial Melaka for two nights from 12th May 2013. First impressions were not good as there is a huge building site getting underway just across the street. Check-in was quick and with a smile. Our room was on the 14th floor facing the building site. Fortunately we were not bothered by noise during the stay... More

Stayed three days at Equatorial - its an extremely convenient location, walking distance from Jonker Steet, Baba Nonya Museum, Malacca River, Stadthuys and plenty more We took cabs to go pretty much all over - RM15 from the hotel to most places, except Portugese Sq which had very good seafood at reasonable prices. The hotel overall has friendly staff, a... More

Great Hotel, right in the centre of town, handy for shops, bars , restaurants etc., Little bit of noise from nearby construction, but it seems most of Melaka is a construction site these days. Room and restaurant service in the hotel was great. The free Wi-Fi, was painful, sometimes it connects, sometimes it doesn't, drops out halfway through downloading email.... More
