I like how comfortable the beds are, the fact that the beds have a curtain and that we can have our privacy. It's the second time I have stayed in this hotel and I will do it again without any problems.

    Booked this as it was one of the cheapest stays, great location - located in a small village style area right in the city center, walking distance to the main shopping centers and national monument, however the road it is on is tiny and has children playing in the street so that was nice. We booked a cheap room and definitely got a cheap room, but it had drinking water and suited us for our stay.

    Great location to explore the old centre, just off the Kota train station. It seems a typical backpackers hostel with many young white foreign tourists, some things seems outworn a bit too much, but serves your needs for a sleepover. Allows you to fill your bottle with drinkable water.

    I liked that I felt safe in this hostel. I accidentally forgot my keys to the lockers with my money outside of my capsule over night and only got it let in the afternoon and nothing was stolen from me. This is something new for Indonesia
