My friend and I stayed at Snooze Malang for just a night as our base for exploring Mt. Bromo. The hostel was very clean and cute, with a large kitchen and a very cozy lounging area. The staff were incredibly hospitable and accommodating and took time to give us tips on what to see in the city during the day and provided a thorough list of restaurant and cafe recommendations (including a very nice cafe just two doors down!). Don’t miss out on walking around Malang itself - it’s a really fun town. We would absolutely be staying here again when we have the chance to return, and would wholeheartedly recommend it to others.

Love the kitchen area and being able to store cold drinks. The staff are friendly and soooo helpful. They suggested vegetarian restaurants, helped us book our train tickets, and were all round very welcoming and accommodating. We loved our stay here.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's 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 little more.

    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.

    This is very much a backpackers hostel, so has that vibe to it. Staff was really friendl, and rooms were decent enough for a hostel and the shared bathroom was clean. Location great, many restuarant options around, and about 5 minute walk to the train station. There is a travel agency downstairs where you can book a Bromo tour.

    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.
