The Explorers Guesthouse and Hostel Reviews

The location is great, although I found the directions difficult to follow. I don't know if this is unique to this hostel however; I found kl was lacking in good pedestrian maps and directions. However, it is only a few minutes walk from the central bus terminal, train station, and subway which connects to the airport. If you need directions though you are on your own. The staff didn't know how to get many places and had no real knowledge of how to get out of kl.

A good location with easy access to nearby attractions.

They don't have laundry, printer and enough adapters. Sometimes stuff is really strange. But in general it was pretty good for its money

Handy location in Chinatown, friendly dudes at the desk and modern facilities. Only downside was no window in 6 bed dorm but can't complain too much with that. Worth staying.

Had a great time at this hostel - seems to attract a very mature and interesting group of travelers. Would be nice if they had more than four cable channels, but that's a minor complaint ;). Would stay here again.

absolutely one of the best hostels i have ever stayed at. many of the rooms don't have windows, but that seems to be the case with many buildings in this part of the world. very clean, cool atmosphere, and awesome staff. thanks again sunny for everything!

I really enjoyed my time here. The staff is friendly and accommodating. Next trip to Kuala Lumpur, I will be at The Explorers Guesthouse!

I loved the common area of this hostel. It felt like a nice coffee shop. They offered free computer to use, unlimited tea and coffee at all hours and towels for your stay. It's located one metro stop away from KL Sentral, walking distance from Chinatown and Petronas Twin Towers. The bed could have been more comfortable. Everything was extremely clean within the hostel. They had air conditioning and hot showers at all hours. Free toast for breakfast. I would definitely stay here again.

One of the best hostels I've ever been to. Definitely highly recommended. Places for lunch or dinner, shopping etc. are all close around, because you are in Chinatown.

Great location near the Central Market Station, it also has a nice common area.

Good location, clean.

Explorers is a nice little hostel, Wifi only works in the lounge area which is good(keeps people out of the dorms). This hostel has a hotel feel to it. People where engrossed in their laptops. Great if you want to have a few days to yourself. The dorm we stayed in had no windows, in KL this is a pain as people are transiting so are sleeping at all hours of the day. Bathrooms where really nice and the place was clean.

Had a pleasant stay but unfortunately no window in my room. The staff was nice and kind but not too helpful. Just giving quite imprecise direction. Good location and very clean and quite

The hostel is very easy to reach from the airport or KL Central. Its location in the proximity of Chinatown makes it very easy to get some good and cheap dinner. The rooms are clean and have all aircon. Beda are comofrtable and showers/ bathrooms nicely decorated and spotless clean. Breakfast is a nice addition and comprises of toast and different jams . Wifi is good and fast while the computers in the lobby are a tad slow. Overall a nice hostel in the heart of the city. Everything one needs.

Stayed at this hostel for a night in Kuala Lumpur. I love the bed and hostel situation. The room is clean and also the toilet. It is located near the transportation and attractive places so I don't need to go far away to spend my time. Bad thing for me is the dorm room is really dark when the light turned off, there is no bed lamp in each bed, not like some hostel provided. The room also doesn't have windows. But the hostel not bad. I am going to stay here again on my next visit to Kuala Lumpur.

Booked for 2 nights, ended up staying for 5 as we were slow in making our next plans. My priority is cleanliness. This place is spotless! Excellent value, great atmosphere, free wifi. Need nothing more. Don't look anywhere else. Just stay here. Awesome location in China Town! Easy walk from LRT with back packs.

Perfect kick off venue for our travels around Asia, the staff are amazing and it's a really nice quiet chill out place, a haven from the somewhat loony Kuala Lumpur :)

It is a well above average value for money hostel. Friendly and helpful staff

Clean and tidy. Very friendly staff. Our room did not have a window, but is aired well though. You'll probably have to use air conditioning during the night, that was not a problem for us. WiFi access only down stairs in common area. Located close to China Town and Central Market, not the cleanest area, but no problem for me (for my mom that was a problem - :-) ) I enjoyed my stay.
