This is a fantastic hostel and experience. It is basic and outside of town center, but that makes it way better than other options (you don't want to stay in Malang center). Beds are comfy and private. Included breakfast is hearty healthy and delicious. They arrange all the tours (Bromo, Sewu, etc) at great comparative rates. Best of all, the hosts are phenomenal!.. Helpful, happy, engaging, and will do whatever it takes to make your stay and experience in the area as awesome as possible. Highly recommend staying here!

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.

    I loved this hostel so much, it has a really chill vibe and a good base if you want to explore the Tumpak Sewu waterfall or Bromo + Ijen. The staff can tell you all about it, they're the best hostel staff I've met so far in Indonesia! 😊

    The Snooze Hostel is probably the best hostel I have booked in terms of friendliness and service. The team takes care of every need and is so warm and welcoming. The rooms are completely cleaned every two days. The Snooze Hostel also offers tours which are really great. Transportation can also be organized if needed. I can only highly recommend the hostel.

    This hostel is perfect. The staff are super warm, friendly, and welcoming. You feel so comfortable with them and they’re always wanting to help out. The rooms are very comfortable and absolutely spotless. They clean multiple times a day. The kitchen is huge and well equipped and there are many comfortable social areas to hang out in. Definitely one of the best hostels I’ve ever stayed in and for sure not to be missed when travelling through Malang.

    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.
