This is my 2nd time staying this hotel. Chosen The Explorer Hotel is because it located at town area. Famous shopping mall just beside the hotel, 5 - 10 minutes walking distance can arrive Jonker Street. There is free car park for the guest too. Small tiny room but some rooms are lack of maintenance. Eg, the home shower was... More

The room is small but clean with all the usual amenities like hairdryer, electric kettle. The walk to Jonker Street will take you more than 15 mins, based on a slow stroll. Near to the shopping malls. Nice big carpark. Entry to the carpark not that easily located. We mistook the exit as the entrance.

Check into this hotel on a last minute trip on 17th Feb 2013. We took the executive room for 3pax, room is very small and is clean with all the regular amenities, breakfast needed some improvement. The walk to Jonker Street will take you more than 10mins, depending on your speed, overall, can be pleasant. Lots of eatery around, carpark... More

Spend a night in this hotel. It's a great location as it is directly outside the Makota Shopping mall. It's near all the tourist spots. It is especially vibrant over the weekend with all the street walk nearby. Walk 10mins and you will reached Jonker street. Take bus 17 from Central Bus station and alight right outside the hotel and... More

We arrived in Melaka around 10 PM on Saturday night without a booking and surely enough most of the big chain hotels were fully booked. The lady at the front desk of another hotel close to the night market recommended us THe Explorer. We rushed in and have taken the last two rooms. First of all location is great walking... More

Just spent a weekend here, and if it wasn't bad enough that the staff were incapable, everyone working here was just plain rude - and I include the manager (some Chinese lady) in this. What's more, I also feel they give themselves too much credit with the naming of their rooms. The so called Executive room I stayed in was... More

Great location and clean room. Room was small...no fridge. No cupboard. Good for short stay. Wifi inside room was poor. But at least u don't have to pay for it. the room rate was on a high side for the room size. Free parking is another good point.

I wanted to book at Felix Inn but was fully booked so I tried this newly open Hotel after reading most reviews from other travellers who had stayed recently. Stayed on Christmas Eve on Solo Trip. Newly open less than 6 months. Very clean bed sheets and toilet. Ample basic amenities TV, racks, single unit air con with clean towel,... More

Located opposite of Menara Taming Sari and next to Mahkota Parade. My bus stopped at Equatorial Hotel, so had to walk from there. Head towards Dataran Pahlawan, and it was easy to spot once you see Menara Taming Sari. The room was small and non-carpeted. Had to wait for quite a long bit since the check in time was 3pm.... More
