This was an OK stay, as it was a good location and did the job for me to sleep and store my things, but I will not be back again. The first room I was assigned to smelled very musty and my bed wasn’t cleaned with new sheets, so I had to go to the reception to get a new room assignment. They don’t give you a top sheet for the bed, but the fitted sheet to cover the mattress had stuff on it — a small rubber piece, fuzz and hairs. They give just a thin blanket which I questioned its cleanliness since there were also hairs on it. The bathroom stalls were tiny so hard to move around in, and there was no hand soap at the sink to wash your hands. The soap pump in the shower was broken so it was difficult to get soap out but I eventually got it after many attempts. The lockers in the hostel room were broken so I had to leave my things in the lockers outside of the room. There are no elevators so if you’re on the top floor like I was, it made it difficult to carry your bags up and down — especially since the receptionist doesn’t show you your room and help you bring your bags up like many other hostels do. However, the location was good with the Central Market and Chinatown right in the area, and close walking distance to Merdeka Square.

No idea how this property has such high reviews. We left almost immediately and booked ourselves somewhere else nearby. The room was very basic, which would have been fine, but was also not clean. Sheets and beds had stains, traces of bed bugs, and only a dirty looking blanket to cover you that didn't look like it had been washed. Staff member barely reacted when we handed back the keys and said we were leaving - just rolled his eyes and took the key, so I assume we aren't the first to leave early!

The carpet in the guest rooms smells very bad. Carpet needs to be pulled up ASAP. Otherwise it's a nice place, friendly staff.

Explorers Guesthouse was a great place to stay for a few days in Kuala Lumpur. It was clean, quiet and comfortable. Staff were very friendly and always available. There is a free light breakfast (toast and assorted jellies), coffee and tea, and WiFi throughout the building. The location is centrally located near Chinatown, several markets and is within walking distance of KL Eco Park.

The guy at reception was unhelpful I can say. When I asked place, just explain Virvary but not clear enough of course. and when I asked him more detail, he said “just cross over the road and you can see “ and in the end I couldn’t find it :( he shouldn’t be like that if you he is at receptionist Shower water is very very weak.

I've stayed in worse but I've also stayed in nicer hostels. Overall it was nice, the staff were friendly and helpful with finding things to do. The area was perfect for walking everywhere, plenty of food close by. The beds were comfortable. The rooms were quiet at night also which is a bonus! They could improve the condition of the bathrooms and the rooms. I also think wifi in the rooms would be nice but having to go down to the common area isn't the end of the world. The breakfast was okay, but the mix of peanut butter and jams was a little annoying when guests would stick the same peanut butter cover knife in the jam - making it unusable for me with a peanut allergy.

The reception staff is very friendly and welcoming and this makes all the difference. Used to go to back home but very inexperience and unwelcoming staff made me swap. This is a far better place in KL.

This accommodation was very clean and comfortable; I stayed in a 4-bed female dormitory.I got the top bunk since the lower bunk was taken and it was very comfortable. I'm lucky my roommate was very kind and understanding. The shared bathroom was very clean and well decorated as well. The location is very good, walking distance to most of the interesting places, it's also near the Pasar Seni LRT Station so it's very easy to commute from here. The best thing is it's only RM3 Uber ride (15-20 mintutes walk) to Changkat Street, the best nightlife around town.

Incredibly friendly staff, very helpful and accommodating. I arrived WAY too early on the day I was supposed to check in and they figured things out very easily. There's constant cleaning so the place is very clean and spotless. If you're looking for a PARTY hostel, this is not it. It's a generally very quiet place run by a caring family.

My only query would be. .. Why was a group of three women moved from one four bed room to another four bed room? It didn't make sense and did cause a problem with things being left in the first room that were needed for travel. ... the new tenants did not think to take those items to reception causing a flight to be missed. I don't blame the staff for my forgetfulness but the unnecessary move....

Cozy room, just a bit mosquitoes issue, very silent, love the bed, wifi only at the lobby, cozy lobby, felt like my 2nd home away from home... Ideal for marathoners since it is 700m from Dataran Merdeka, starting line for SCKLM, the most happening race in Malaysia.
