Featuring a bar, Shelter Hostel Malang is located in Malang in the Jawa Timur region, a 4-minute walk from Alun-alun Tugu and half a mile from Taman Rekreasi Kota.

This is absolutely one of my favourite hostels that I’ve stayed at in the past four months. The staff are wonderfully friendly and helpful, the facilities lack for nothing, the food they prepare is amazing, and overall, I felt totally at home here.

SEMERU HOSTEL MALANG in Malang provides adults only accommodations with a garden, a shared lounge and a terrace.

Very friendly staff, clean hostel, they have everything you need. The best thing is that you can book a tour to Tumpak Sewu, Bromo and Ijen there. The tour was an amazing experience, it was much cheaper than other similar tours and our driver a great guy - he made sure we had everything we needed and was always ready to help.

Located in Malang, 1.9 miles from Velodrome Malang, Zzz Hostel Malang provides accommodations with a shared lounge, free private parking and a terrace.

Such a great value for money! The private room was simple but had everything we needed, including towels and a fan, which was more than enough for Malang’s cool weather. The hostel is very clean and well-organized, and they even sent us house rules and local food recommendations before arrival. The common kitchen was also a great addition—we cooked breakfast there every morning!

Looking for a hostel?
Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    Everything: the host and her family are so kind and helpful! The dormitory was cosy and spacious (as couple, we had a double-bed in the dormitory). The hostel is attached to a orphanage managed by the kind host mentioned before. For a small donation we were invited for dinner by the host and the children. The food was excellent and the atmosphere very welcoming. It was so interesting to interact with the children. Thank you very much for the beautiful stay😊

    Perfectly located for visiting Malang (close to train station and points of interest). The people there are so nice and helpful (we got some coffee and fruits and long conversations 😃). Good cheap tours organized by Jon. Beds are confortable. They said i could keep my bed and have a nap until midnight (before Bromo) without paying the night. One large dormitory, but though it is on a passing road, i could sleep well (no noise issues). Decoration of common room is nice.

    One of the best hostels I've ever been to. It is super clean, even in the dormitory has my privacy but can still connect super with others if you want. Above all, it is super cozy here so that you feel like home and already looking forward to sleep. The hostel owners are incredibly friendly and helpful. They helped me incredibly when I could not writerreisrn because the bus did not come. They drove me to the bus station and supported me, which I would have had a hard time doing without them.

    The hostel has a great location. It's close to the train station (you can walk), it's a quiet and safe location and there is a travel agency at the hostel so you can book a tour to Bromo and Ijen. The dorm is spacious, the beds are very comfortable! The curtains provide privacy, you have a locker, you can put/hang your clothes and the bathrooms are very clean! The shower is hot and good! You can order food and drinks and chill/talk with other travelers.
