The hotel is at the heart of the city centre. It is really convenient to park your car and walking around. The shops also nearby and you can always find something interesting. We enjoyed our short vacation very much.

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.
