Clean sheets, comfy beds, very friendly and helpful staff, good wifi, good a/c, good security, clean bathrooms, relaxed atmosphere, good location for KL Sentral - airport, Chinatown etc. Free coffee, tea. Was worried about my kids in a backpacker environment (3 loud boys), but thankfully there was no need as they had enough to keep them occupied. They also have... More

Located on HS Lee Street just west of the popular Petaling St., this hostel also has private rooms with shared bathrooms. The private rooms are very basic, just two small beds, an air conditioner and a light. Some rooms have windows, some don't. The bathrooms are clean and showers adequate. Free wifi in the lobby with couches. I'm not as... More

The lobby area was very welcoming and clean with free Internet access and wifi. The rooms were very clean and it was very easy to sleep. The toilets and showers were also very nice to use... More

I traveled solo to KL and stayed at the Explorers Guesthouse at the beginning and end of my SE Asia trip. My cabbie had a bit of trouble finding it, but called for directions and we were there without any hastle. I found the rooms to be comfortable, quiet, and clean. The front desk staff were very helpful and their... More

I stayed in the Explorers twice (once on my first stay in KL) and I also returned to them when I came back. The lounge area is good and has access to wifi (though it seems to be hit and miss on devices - if you are unlucky and it doesn't like you - you may not detect it/may lose... More

Not used to staying in a guest house but was pleasantly surprised by this place! When the taxi driver dropped us from the hotel it was in the middle of absolute chaos! However walking through the doors here seemed to be relaxing! Reception staff very friendly and helpful and organised our taxi back to airport and also gave us directions... More

So, basically the location is good, breakfast included, and everything is clean. However, the place is soo noisy that it's impossible to rest. You can hear everyone talking in neighboring rooms, doors opening and closing, etc. So all in all, don't go there if you plan to rest a little...! And this for 30 USD a night!
