About

The location of The Explorers Guesthouse and Hostel is 'exactly where you want to be as a backpacker, with the markets and train stations just a walk away'. This hostel is centrally located near Chinatown, the Central Market, KL Tower and much more, making it easy to explore the city center on foot or via the nearby tram station.

The rooms are cozy and feature a beautiful, colorful decor, complete with air conditioning and carpeted flooring. Individual bedside lights, power sockets and personal lockers are provided for guests staying in the dormitory rooms. Guests have access to a shared toilet and shared bathroom with shower facility.

We particularly like the great views of KL Tower and the Petronas Twin Towers from their rooftop terrace. Many of our guests say they'd recommend this hostel to friends.

Very uncleaned hostel I ever see and they charged 10 RM extra that was hidden. So I request all backpacker not to visit this hostel you will feel unsafe.Apart from this washroom was very uncleaned. But is good you can try another hostel at this location.
