We stayed 4 nights this past December for our first trip to Yellowknife and had an excellent time. The hotel was very clean and conveniently located. Food options in the hotel were good (and helpful) when we didn't want to journey out in the cold for a quick bite to eat. The hotel is very obviously a central hub of activity with constant shuttle pick ups and drop offs from the various tours. Great view from the top floor rooms!

The only negative we experienced was a lack of available electrical outlets in the lower parking area (the upper area with outlets is closed for construction), which meant plugging in the battery warmer for a rental car was impossible -- (this is critical toward being able to start the car without a jump after sitting all night on some of the coldest nights.) We'd happily stay again after the completion of the construction.

The Exploerer is in downtown Yellowknife, very centrally located..... short drive to the air port, walking distance to supermarket, drug store, cinema, various restaurants and many other hotels. There's a tourist centre near by where you can rent your winter out fit, including a warm parker, snow pants, boots and mitts. It also offers various Day trips. The hotel has a cafe and a restaurant. The hotel staff are friendly and efficient. I checked out before noon and left my luggage there until 6 pm. That way, I could do more sight seeing before I went to the airport. No coffee pot int the room but there's a kettle. Warm and cozy room with a serene winter scene outside.
