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.

    Nurul was really helpful and patiently answered all my questions. The whole vibe of the hostel is authentic, very helpful and budget friendly for backpackers. And the people are friendly. It provides lots of useful information on the front desk, for example where to visit, how to book. And the location is very central, you can get everything you need by walking distance. I end up staying there for 7 days straight.

    It's located at the heart of the city, restaurants and convenience stores are just a walking distance. Grab is also easy to get, and the small boat 'sampan' is also always on standby if you want to go to the other side of the river to enjoy the local food and 'kuih lapis' for a cheaper price. And the view at night is really nice. My family and I enjoyed our stay, everything is clean, the place itself is safe, it's comfy and very spacious, and the host is very clear with the information on how to check into the premise.

    QuiickCat hostel is a gem of Kuching. The hostel is well located, near excellent restaurants and cheap drinks. The host is absolutely incredible- she was in contact before I arrived and provided thorough instructions on how to visit the most common spots! Beyond that the rooms are clean and beds are comfy- breakfast is always available and the best coffee in a hostel ever( a proper coffee machine is available for guest use!) I ended up spending over a week here!
