Shelter Hostel Malang, hotel in Malang

Featuring a bar, Shelter Hostel Malang is located in Malang in the East Java region, 400 metres from Alun-alun Tugu and less than 1 km from Taman Rekreasi Kota.

One of the nicest places we have stayed. From the minute we arrived, the staff were so friendly and fun. We had a private room and shared bathroom and it was spotless. Really cool design too. We don’t usually go for a shared bathroom but this one actually felt like our own. There seems to be plenty toilets and showers available for everyone. The toilet and shower was so clean, never once ran out of toilet paper etc and the shower was amazing!! We went on the waterfall trip which was brilliant and again the staff were so good! The food- myself and my husband discovered the “curry chicken sandwich” on the first night, three days later, we had 7 of them in total, I couldn’t order anything else because that was so good! It’s basically coronation chicken but I absolutely loved it. Location is also great, plenty of other local food areas. The laundry (gold coin) was another great spot and even delivered it for us when it was ready! Great chill area and I’d 100% recommend this place.

Amazing hostel with a family atmosphere. We were greeted with fresh passion fruit straight from the hostel garden - delicious.They organise AMAZING tours, we did mt Bromo and waterfall and we were blown away. The food is absolutely delicious and the hosts are extremely friendly and helpful, they went out of their way to ensure we had a great stay. The coffee is good and there is a crazy viewpoint overlooking Malang just 5 minutes by foot from the hostel. Extraordinary place, especially for this price.

Huize Jon Hostel, hotel in Malang

Located in Malang, 300 metres from Taman Rekreasi Kota, Huize Jon Hostel features views of the city.

I can't slate this place too much as it was a last minute booking and was all I cd get. I don't usually stay in dorms either and not big/mixed ones either so can't let that influence my review For me I would say everything was ok... Shower and toilets were fine Beds had curtains lamps and plug points which is what you need Cafe downstairs In a great area for food and rainbow village only 900m away

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.

    Everything: the host and her family are so kind and helpful! The dormitory was cosy and spacious (as couple, we had a double-bed in the dormitory). The hostel is attached to a orphanage managed by the kind host mentioned before. For a small donation we were invited for dinner by the host and the children. The food was excellent and the atmosphere very welcoming. It was so interesting to interact with the children. Thank you very much for the beautiful stay😊

    Perfectly located for visiting Malang (close to train station and points of interest). The people there are so nice and helpful (we got some coffee and fruits and long conversations 😃). Good cheap tours organized by Jon. Beds are confortable. They said i could keep my bed and have a nap until midnight (before Bromo) without paying the night. One large dormitory, but though it is on a passing road, i could sleep well (no noise issues). Decoration of common room is nice.

    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.
