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.

    So many exceptional things about this place. Free water, free washing Maschine use, Chinese girl making healthy breakfast and food all through the day.. And so cheap. Showers functioning, many great travellers mingling. The perfect place for hanging out even for weeks. Beds in air con rooms apparently super comfy, fan rooms normal. Best stay in Malaysia so far

    Beautiful pools and gardens. Generous breakfast buffet. Room had lovely view of pools and ocean with nice balcony ( other guests said they had monkeys visit their balcony!). Drinks and food by the pool were great but not cheap. Good little market next door for souvenirs and great night market in the street outside hotel.

    Great location. Just a quick walk to food, stores, pasar malam, beach. There was a swimming pool in the apartment. The rooms could fit a lot of people. We could park two cars at the apartment for cheap. Overall it was good for the price.
