  • A bit hard to find, but everything else is great. Not too loud as well compared to the party hostels down the street. Would recommend if you are not looking to just party.

  • Was staying in twin private for 3 days. The room was without windows, but with air condition. Every thing was clean and great. Awesome that they have peanut butter for breakfast.

  • This place is characterized by an incredibly cozy atmosphere, great staff and the freshest toilets and showers I have ever experienced in a hostel. Located close to the train station and the heart of China town with the night market and great places to get a bite to eat.

  • Explorers Guesthouse is everything you'd expect in a good hostel. It's conveniently located to train stations, Chinatown, Sentral Market, bus stops, and much more. Bed's are comfy, A/C is cold, linens are clean, staff is helpful, toast is crispy, and peanut butter is crunchy.

  • This hostel was okay- clean and pretty cheap. Breakfast wasn't the most exciting. Also one of the nights I was sitting in the living room on my laptop and see one of the hostel staff peeing with the light on just past the kitchen. Why would anyone do that, especially when you have guests paying to stay in your establishment? Thought that was incredibly unprofessional.

  • สามารถขึ้น repid KL จาก KL sentral ได้เลยค่ะ ไม่ต้องเดินออกมาขึ้น monorail ข้างนอก แต่ก็เดินไกลนิดนึงตอนมาที่พัก ตอนเดินหามองด้านนอกทีแรกมองผ่านไปเลยค่ะ มันดูเก่าๆ แต่พอเข้ามาข้างในก็ดีค่ะ ค่อนข้างกว้าง ห้องพักก็สะอาดดี แต่ห้องน้ำรวมแอบสกปรกนิดนึงค่ะ มีแมลงหวี่ด้วย จากที่พักเดินไม่ไกลก็เจอ Central market, China town ค่ะ มีรถ Go KL (รถฟรี) ผ่านแถวๆนั้นด้วยค่ะ แต่ถ้าจะไป KLCC ต้องไปต่อรถอีกทีค่ะ ที่นี่จะมีพวกคู่มือท่องเที่ยว แผนที่ แจกเป็นตู้หนังสือเลยค่ะ เยอะมาก

  • Sister of the front is very helpful and friendly. Lounge is easy to exchange travelers gathered. The immediate vicinity of Chinatown. The rooms are quiet despite. Air conditioning works well. No place to hang out the laundry. Can not use Wi-fi in the room, no windows. Domination is canceled, share a room with twin unawares. But clean, toilet and shower sandals need. There is no convenience store nearby.
