“Affordable stay near to waterfront”
The common area at Level 2 was truly interesting and the most unique feature in the hostel (especially the beautiful murals and the abundant workspace using actual office tables and chairs). My room was rightfully spacious and well ventilated too. Areas are quite clean. It's a strategic area, in which you can find restaurants, kek lapis and souvenirs along the line and it's very near to waterfront too. Will stay there again in a backpacking mode.

I enjoyed my stay here. The hostel has everything you need and the location is great. Communication with the staff is done through WhatsApp, but they were always helpful and friendly.

“Will consider staying here again next time!”
Strategic location. Good for travellers who just need a place to rest and sleep after going out the whole day. Those who are used to dorm-living definitely would be alright with the place.

Everything was good overall. Super strategic spot in the city centre. Check-in from the beginning was hassle-free and really private. Room came out clean and fully stocked – blankets, pillows, wardrobe rack, plus the TV worked smoothly (good movie options), and air-conditioning was spot on. Yeah, the bathroom is shared/outside, but honestly it didn't bother us at all since it stayed clean and had everything you need. My friends and I were all happy with the stay, and we'd definitely come back next time. Price-wise, it's damn worth it – very affordable for what you get. Recommended! 💪
