Looking for a hostel?
Budget travellers know that there is 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 bit more.

    Location was good. It is accessible from the main road. The price is okay. It was cheaper than most accommodations in the neighbourhood. People were friendly there. The place was clean.

    Great Location in Kota Lama. Staff is super friendly and pods were among the most comfortable beds I’ve slept in. It was very quiet so easy to get a good nights sleep.

    Cleanliness. I booked based on booking’s rating and it did not disappoint. The juices are amazing and the bed very comfortable. Safe for solo female traveller. The hotel design comes across as a funky hostel vibe but I wasn’t too fussed. The room was clean and sheets clean that mattered most to me.
