    Review summary

    Powered by OpenAI

    Guests were very pleased with the staff's hospitality and service. Accommodations were well-maintained, including spacious and clean rooms furnished with new furniture. The hotel's location is convenient for guests who wish to explore the area, with popular night markets within walking distance. Guests also appreciated the amenities and facilities provided by the hotel.

    Guests had a positive experience but were disturbed by poor soundproofing. Good location for some attractions but not all. No luggage trolleys and dark hallways were noted as minor inconveniences.

      Explore hotel is 13 mins walk to Fengchia Night Market. The room are well design, bed is comfortable and clean. I like the bathing toiletries. I do hope the Explore hotel to consider to have a set of toothbrush and toothpaste in the room for guest convenience. It will elevate a better stay experience. As for now, you have to bring your own or make a purchase. Staff has been friendly and helpful through out my two night stay. Best of all, there are car parking in this hotel, subject to availability. Thank you for the enjoyable stay with you.

      “Awesome Stay”

      Got upgraded for free! Love the room & the layout (the sink, toto toilet & shower are all separate-more efficient that way) Hotel staffs are polite & would greet us whenever we walk passed. Free parking for hotel guests. Feng Jia night market & convenience stores are within close walking distance. They also have relatively new movies that you can watch in their room TV. Overall had an awesome experience & will definitely come back.

      “Good stay near Fengjia Night market”

      It's not too far away from the famous fengjia night market. Convenient and short walk, with some food, bbtea and 7 nearby. Tucked away in a quiet corner and away from the noise and "smell" off the night market :) . Quadruple room is spacious for family of 4. But note that there's a small selection of paid amenities and may not have laundry facilities (I didn't check if they offer or not). Overall a good and comfortable stay.

      “Can be improved ”

      Generally quite clean. I like the movies. Will be good to have more updated movies and choices. 3 in 1 Coffee and tea are available at the lobby. Could have included 2 in 1 (without milk). These should be made available in the rooms instead of at the lobby. No breakfast available although a discount voucher is given to have breakfast at the restaurant next door. Distance from the night market is quite a walk away. The light at the lobby is also too dim. There is no proper area to hang around at the lobby after dinner for a cup of coffee or tea like other hotels.
