Lock in a great price for The Explorers Guesthouse – rated 8.7 by recent guests!

to get started.

The house has incredible atmosphere outside at the lobby area, a lot of trees and plenty of cats, flowers, beautiful really! The thing that made me feel a bit uncomfortable is that the rooms are a bit far from the common bathroom and there is not air conditioning, only fan. But for the price it is perfect, close to the airport, in a communicative area etc etc. If you don't have big expectations and don't spend much time in the room, it is perfect!!! 👌😊💖

Location was good, lots of options for food. The wifi was fast when in the common area.

The staff are very kind and helpful. Always take care about your needs. The place is very clean. The rooms and the bathrooms are big. You have to make your own breakfast in the common kitchen. The common area ia big and comfortable. The location is nice. About 2 min walking to the Central market. 5 blocks to the pasat seni station.

Common area was great and the free breakfast was decent. The staff were very welcoming and helpful. Location was perfect - walking distance to some of the sites, markets and restaurants and easy to get around via the nearby LRT station.

The staff was very kind and helpful and made us feel at home from the start. Our room was perfect for the given price, loved the little details on the windows. The air-conditioning works great, which is really important to have a good night of sleep in Malaysia! The shared bathroom is pretty and all appliances work great. The morning breakfast is super simple but free so nothing to be picky about anyways :) I will definitely stay here again next time!
