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.
