Great hostel with very kind and helpful staff who speak good English. The rooms and showers/toilets were very clean, the common area was also nice and the breakfast was very yummy. We booked a one day tour to volcano Ijen with them and that was an amazing experience. But the hostels kindness was actually shown to us after we had already left the hostel. Here’s what happened: We had booked the ferry to Lombok through the hostel. We were already on the ferry when we learned that it was having engine trouble. After 24 hours, the ferry still hadn’t left the port, so we decided to disembark and look for another way to Lombok. We contacted the hostel, and they told us we could come back to the hostel. When we arrived at the hostel (quite exhausted after waiting 24 hours on the ferry), they not only refunded our ferry ticket, but also gave us a free breakfast and provided us with towels for a shower. I cannot recommend this place highly enough! Thank you for everything!

“Amazing”
I loved everything about this place. Literally right outside Ketapang train station. 5 minutes away from the ferry terminal. The room was so clean. The cats are adorable. The staff was amazing. I would definitely come back here even if I wasn't hiking up Ijen.

It was a very comfortable stay on the way between the train and ferry. We arrived at night and there was no problem with late check in. The staff were kind and helpful. We got a room for 2 people with an ensuite. Everything was clean and a glass bottle of water was next to the bed. The AC was working perfectly. Lovely cats hanging around❤️
