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.

    Good vibe in the lobby with people greeting me, offering snacks, etc. Comfy, spacious sleeping pod and secure locker provided. I was stranded at the hostel by the weather after checking out and the staff helped me try to get a taxi (very busy with chinese new year) and made me feel really welcome to hang out there until the storm had passed. Great location too- I felt safe walking home late at night alone.

    For this budget, I've been to many backpacker hostel, I consider this clean, good and cozy. good for the vostLocation is great, few minutes walk from jonker street and theres plenty food places nearby. Next to the river line which makes it very pleasant to walk to. my favourite part was pantry area which is really pretty part of the hostel overlooking river walk and cruise boats along the river.

    Great location, room interior are really aesthetic (room is really like what the ads shows) and clean with friendly staff (just ask them where to find nice n cheap food😂). Its only walking distance to all attractions, major plus point! Stadhuys buiding is literally next to us n others only take 5-10min walks. If you're worried about parking u can park near tabung haji to be safe, just pay entrance fee a lil bit. Really great experience👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
