The Explorers Guesthouse and Hostel

The Staff was Friendly and Nice ! But as a female traveller I would not recommend going there. The vibe was off and I did not feel comfortable. The windows in the bathroom dont have curtain an there is No Soap. I really would not come there again its not worth it.

Bad service

in addition to looking very little like the photos and being very poorly upkept, this place is infested with rats. i was quite literally attacked by a rat, and when i screamed and ran out, the attendants at the front desk laughed and said “oh that’s just jerry,” so clearly this is not a new issue. i checked out early the next morning with no refund, and am now having to take antibiotics to prevent “rat scratch fever”. i have stayed in lots of lackluster hostels but this is by far the w...

DISGUSTING HOSTEL. The place is filthy. When I went to sleep, I felt bites and crawling. Turned on my phone flash and found BEDBUGS on the bed. I packed my clothes and went to reception at 3AM for help. They did NOTHING. No room change, no refund, no care. I was forced to leave the hostel in the middle of the night with NO BOOKING AND NOWHERE TO GO. I had booked 2 nights (second non-refundable). If you care about yourself, DON’T STAY HERE. Much better and cheaper hostels around Chinatown.

Cockroaches everywhere weird staff

This was a big disappointment. When we arrived it was really dark and smelly. The person at the counter just gave us the key without any further information. When we arrived in the room a haze of airfreshner came through, probably to cover up the smell underneath which was damp and funky. The room has no windows to air out and the floor was wet due to the airconditioning machine, which also caused the mold on the wall. After seeing a cockroach and a yellow stain on the pillowcase, we decided to

Worst hostel I’ve stayed at rooms were gross bathrooms were gross water pressure poor. The whole floor had a really bad smell to it. No storage or curtains. Homeless living right outside. Not very social but people were up very late every night and no quiet hours. People on phone in room until 4 am every night.

Do not stay! Health hazard. I saw rats 3 times. In the bathroom, the stairs and the third floor hallway. The place is NOT clean. Rooms covered in hair, dirt and dust. When they changed the bedsheet next to me, they didn't even change the pillow case and it had marks on it! 1/4 of the showers work correctly (there's 2 on each floor). There's no atmosphere so get the same priced hotel rooms on booking.com

The hostel is dark and hot. The main area is nice, apart from the fact that there is barely daylight. The room itself was horrible. When we arrived, the aircon wasn't working properly, there was only 1 pillow on a double bed, the springs in the mattress were painful, the floor and sheets were dirty and the room was dusty. In addition to that, there was a lot of noise coming from just outside the window. The bathrooms were dirty, smelled like pee, and 1 of the 2 showers didn't even have a lock.

We could not enjoy our stay in this hostel. We booked two nights and left after one. While sleeping you have to cope with the bedspring in your back. The rooms were dirty. On the rooftop there were rats with runs in the hostel and near by yourself. The view was great but nothing else. The shower and the toilets was okay. I will never come back, until there will be a lot changed.

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.

Not bad. nice hostel. I like the location close to everything.

No volveria ni gratis. Antro total como todos los de chinatown kuala lumpur. Cobran 10 ringuits de tasa turistica cuando los dormitorios estan exentos y piden un deposito de 20 ?------? He tenido que esperar esta mañana 20 minutos a que apareciera el de recepcion a devolvermelos.

Würde ich nie mehr gehen. Hat komische Leute im haus die auf dem sofa schlaffen... fühlte mich nicht wohl aber die rooms sind okei man hat einfach keine provatsphäre sbr für eine nacht für den preis voll okeyy

rooftop view of building illuminated with blue neon is amazing. attached restaurant was my favorite food in the city and super cheap.

The location is great! It is in a very nice area of Kuala Lumpur and you walk right onto the central market. However, the facilities are just average. Some of the bunk beds were missing sports or the whole ladder altogether. Some of the bedside lights were partly detached. Also there was no handsoap in the toilets and the toiletpaper was empty frequently empty. The roommates were also quite rude leaving the light on at 2am etc. But that is ofcourse not on the hostel.

To be fair this new year of scoring is unfair. However the price of this accommodation was so good. But when i walked in I thought it was bad. But after 6 days here I realised that you can’t be the price and it’s not as bad as first impressions at all. If you asked anything they would do it. This place is a refurbishment away from being a 9

The shared bathroom is dirty, you have to figure yourself out how to get to warm water for a shower.

Overall it’s very cozy. I arrived and they switched me to an upgraded room. I ended up extending. Very friendly place but not the most social. They don’t really have activities or a member of staff solely focused on the social aspect. This is an area of untapped opportunity. I also think it would be nice if they better utilised the rooftop for social activities and had more seating. Maybe even like some sun bathing chairs? More tables and chairs. Cornhole? A dart board? Yoga mats?

Clim bruyante et non fonctionnelle. Matelas du lit usé. On sent trop les ressors

No privacy in the rooms, no curtains etc.. for the beds. No lockers to put your valuables in.
