This is an amazing hotel. Every floor has a shared space with a table and chairs or a balcony with sofa's. It was a little rainy during our stay and it was amazing to lay on the sofa's in the balcony and watch the rain fall and hear the birds sing. Amzing stay. Very frienly staff, we extended with 2 nights! They offer a nice tour that we took aswell (take the day tour, really reconment!) There was a very cute kitty name Mini, I hope if you visit you can meet her.

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.

    Basic hostel for backpackers. Really cheap. Sleep pod was comfortable and comforter provided. Fan in the pods really helped since there's no AC. Lockers provided and plenty of room for my stuff. Kitchen/dishes provided. Free water. Felt safe and secure for a female solo traveler. Surprisingly quiet for a hostel, not a lot of socializing. Half day tour set up by the hostel was really awesome. Located in the middle of Tanah Rata and a 5-10 minute walk from the bus station.

    Excellent knowledgeable friendly helpful staff. Great to be able to book Excellent value for money day tours through the guest house. They take a 100 ringet deposit when you arrive but no need to worry about this. I accidentally broke something in the room and still got all my deposit back. Extremely clean great location and outstanding value for money. Walking distance from the bus station. They will also book you a cheap taxi should you need one. Highly recommend staying here.

    The Hostel is in a great location, and the interior is really nice, clean, and well-kept (especially the common room). The shoe cleaning facility is also really helpful after long muddy hikes, and the filtered water station was a great and convenient addition. The staff were also nice and friendly, and we also received a free drinks token for a local cafe.
