    Extremely helpful and enthusiastic staff, willing to give tailored recommendations, assist with small things and even book tours conveniently. They’ll sort you out. Rooms are clean, water is hot, they provide soap. Location is excellent with plenty of food options around. WiFi is good for work in between trips. Hostel is social and good to make friends. Excellent value for money and would definitely recommend.

    It's quite difficult to find cheap and proper laundry services nearby.

    I like the old homey style, it's like one of my favourite references for a house.. The staffs are nice and helpful.. Quiet - means no loud noise nearby.. It's near mall, sport center, convenience store, restaurant and coffee. 15 minutes walk to Kayutangan Street.

    I only slept at Semeru for one night as I started the 3D2N Java Tour here. The hostel is super social. Great for getting to know people. Unfortunately, the tour that the hostel was working with didn't materialise, but everything was immediately put in motion so that I could take part in another tour organised by another hostel!!! Simply great, thank you!!!

    The bedroom smelled like cheese when I arrived but after we left the door open for one day and switched the AC on it was okay.

    Very beautiful hostel. The beds are comfortable and the people were nice. There is much food around where you can eat.

    Sweetest hostel in Indonesia !

    Nothing. All was perfect, thank you so much.

    The hostel was perfect. They helped me with everything, I also booked 3 tours with them and we went to the Bromo Vulcano, Ijen Crater & the tumpak waterfall together. We took so many nice photos on the tours and they cared a lot. The beds are very comfy, you have lockers for your stuff and also free coffee and tee. The showers are big and clean. The stay in Nadya's Hostel was the best stay on my Indonesia trip and it's also not expensive. The people there are so friendly. Its also central so you can walk to a laundry and there are also some cute restaurants nearby like Pizza place, typical Indonesian food and a salad place. I will comeback for sure !!!

    The host is very friendly, and he is always laughing and spreading good vibes through accommodation. The place also looks really cute, just like the pictures. The plants everywhere and the open and comfortable vibe give this place an amazing energy to stay. You will meet a lot of people who are willing to join you on your trip as most people are coming to malang for the same reasons. You will not regret making your reservation here.

    The only negative would be people coming and going early hours in the morning for there trips but that’s no fault of the hostel, you get used to it.

    The staff were amazing so friendly and helpful especially organising trip. It was a very sociable hostel, a lot of people there for the bromo trip. Beds comfy and restaurants etc near by.

    The tour to the volcano is rather expensive. Might be able to book a cheaper one somewhere else or just stay over in that village.

    This place was really nice. The decor was vintage like something out of my aunt's house which made me feel very comfortable. The staff gentleman had good recommendations on what to do. Overall was satisfied. Be sure to rent a motorbike at the train station if you arrive from there so you can drive yourself around.
