The Explorer Hotel very near to Shopping malls , all walking distant about 5 min to 10 min . Very lively area n a lots of food around the hotel and also nearby McDonald opens 24 hrs. Hotel room is ok except the toilet is smelly although the toilet is clean. Something to do withthe smelly floor trapped. Hope hotel can improve n get rid of this stink smell.

Good locale and decent room facilities.

Locale is good. Short distance to the fame Jonker Street and Mahkota/Pahlawan shopping malls. Room size a bit small but okay for couple, the bedsheet is clean. But the sink tap is leaky. Will need repair. Otherwise, no complain.

So-So Sleeper

First night arrival and experienced the water spray cannot be stopped after pressing to wash up and the staff came in without removing shoe which blackened the floor cloth. I felt uncomfortable and ask for change of room then this process is fast. Value wise is good and sleep was ok.

Comfortable stay value for money

Comfortable stay and value for money. Great location as it is near shopping mall in town area. Overall cleanliness is Great except someone stick personal things on wall (yulk). Add 1 more dustbin in the room will be better. Slightly noisy at night.

말라카에서 위치좋고 저렴한 호텔

방은 좁았지만 깨끗합니다. 체크인데스크에서 영어도 통합니다. 다만 조식 종류가 너무 적은게 아쉽습니다. 주변에 현지 레스토랑도 있습니다.

The photo doesn't really reflect the hotel room. Small room and doesn't feel so comfortable inside, felt more like Hostel. The pathway from the lift to the room is without aircond. Toilet and cleanliness was acceptable. Receptionist is friendly and nice.

Weekend Getaway

This property used to be my favorite. I had stayed here a few times but this time it was AWFUL. Rooms were dirty, Dusty and not cared for, The room provided was without any view and faced an alley way where waste bins were kept. The amenities - Shower was BROKEN. NO SOAP. The coffee / tea sachets though complementary never had normal tea. Only Green Tea. The Breakfast was basic, Can get better breakfast opposite or at McD's. The room service was as good as non-existent as nobody every came to address these issues. Not sure if Hotels.com has any way to address this but I wouldn't consider going here again. OVERALL : DISSAPPOINTED,,,,

8/10 Very good

Good experience.
