Excellent location, friendly staff, good security and a nice common area are obvious positives to this hostel. There is no bar and no windows in the dorms, which makes this hostel perfect for a good night's sleep on comfy beds. There are plenty of good bars within 5mins so that suited me just fine. I was very happy with my stay here and would recommend it to anyone. If I'm ever back in KL, I will stay here again.

The location of the guesthouse was really nice, near to china-town and the central market, you can start all your activities by foot easily. The breakfast was ok. We missed a window in the room. And it would be nice if the wifi works also upstairs in the room. All together it was a nice stay, we would come back.

The Explorers Guesthouse was a very pleasant place to stay. The location is great - near the LRT and buses - next to Chinatown. The staff was helpful and knowledgeable. I will stay there again next time in KL

The hostel Was well situated in KL and was a great base to experience the city! Highly recommended. I think the pricing is a little steep but the alternatives do not compare. I would recommend they improve internet access to all floors and the roof garden is under used.

It was the very good hostel to stay. Very convenient of public transportation, close to the attractive places and shopping center. It will very pleased if adding a televator because it is quite high building and travellors always come with big backpacks. Thank you.

One of the better hostels I've frequented. No part atmosphere and wi-fi in the rooms, making quality sleep a reality. Fantastic all around.

Stayed here in the 10 bed mixed dorm not once but TWICE when we were in KL! Great hostel and very good location (5 minute walk to Pesar Senai or Masjid Jemak MRT station). Breaktfast included toast and tea. Really like the atmosphere downstairs with nice couches/lounge area, TV and area to surf the net or play board games/meet people. There is a free walking tour close to Central Market at 10:30am everday. Staff very knowledgeable (especially the guy working night shift).
