    There is no air con and the fan in the room wouldn't reach my bed so I was a bit hot but for the price, it's fine.

    Bed was clean and comfortable. Shower had hot water and excellent pressure. This place was also super cheap. Really good value for money.

    Dont’ just trust the pictures which are not giving enough credit to this place and go book a room or even just a bed in this marvelous hostel. Rooms are warm, clean and well thought. The staff is very pleasant and open to speak about a lot of thing. And the food is exceptional ! All the food is home made and cooked in front of you. All products are fresh to make breakfast, lunch or dinner. And if you are looking to discover the Bromo’s volcano, there is a travel agency in the ground floor which offers travel tours. If you are a backpacker in Malang, you must visit this hostel.

    Unfortunately I could not sleep well in my bed as it was way too hot in the room. There is a fan but in the upper bed you can not feel it at all. Installing an AC would be great.

    The hostel has a really nice vibe and it is easy to meet people. Also the food at the hostel bar is really good. Beds and bathrooms were really clean.

    Bed wasn't very comfortable. Only one overhead fan in the dorm which wasn't enough to cool the room, you couldn't close the blinds or you just melted with the heat. Nowhere really to sit as reception/eating area is quite small.

    The area, the decorations the design, good size locker & space to put things in the pod

    The room only has a fan, no aircon. This made the room just a bit too hot for us.

    The room we stayed in was super cute with a loft bed. Hangout area was nice and comfortable. Shared bathroom facilities were nice and clean. Staff were very helpful with booking tours.

    There are no AC and only roof fan in the middle of the room for all. The beds are outdated and old, I can feel the springs while lying on it. Only 1 power socket available in each pod.

    The host in charge during the stay, Andri and Didin are very friendly and helpful. The hostel is located walking distance to Malang station and a few minutes to tourist attractions like Taman Ayun and Kajoetangan Heritage Street which very lively at night with street performances and local food. The pod bed are very big and come with security box. The toilet and shower are very clean too. You can make tour bookings thru the reception too. Overall a great stay and would likely to repeat and recommend to others.

    We really liked the hostel. There was airconditioner and fan but it seems like airconditioner was not usable, so we used the fan. Actually that was good enough. The room is in 2nd 3rd floor so you have to carry long stairs if you have many lugagges, but our kind staff was very helpful carrying up.

    The hostel was very clean, pretty looking, well managed common spaces. Location wise the hostel is close to Malang station - 10 min walking distance. The bedroom space was beautiful with a bit of class roof, which was quite beautifup.
