Staff is very nice and helpful. They gave me great directions to go where I wanted to go. Very easy to get there from the airport, you are located next to the Central Market and close enough to Chinatown and the metro station is about 2 minutes walk. I will stay here again Lockers are located on the 3rd floor,... More

The guesthouse is situated in Chinatown, just a few minutes walk from an LRT station. We got a room without windows that was quite smelly. Anyway, we didn't expect far more for this price, therefore it was ok. The bathroom was clean. As the staff was very unfriendly from the beginning, we will not choose "The Explorers Guesthouse" again while... More

The guy on the front desk here makes this place what it is. He's lovely, friendly, helpful and charming. The rooms are average, beds are comfy but unless you have your own blanket you're simply given a towel to keep you warm from the freezing blast of the air con . Breakfast is poor but common area is lovely. Internet... More

We shared a double room with AC. Perfectly quiet in a busy part of downtown. Breakfast was basic but convenient. Internet was strong and free desktop computers for use was easy for trip planning. Staff helpful. Great value in a country we found to otherwise have overpriced accommodation.

These guys are great. 24 hour free coffee/tea and free toast/jam/peanut butter. That's very convenient. Perfect location, walking distance to Central Market and Chinatown. I did most of my shopping here and ate daily at this cool and cheap vegetarian place right on Petaling Jalan (chinatown)..the famous street. Also close to Pasar Seni station to get to other places in... More

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
