Located around 500 metres from Gajayana Stadium, the hostel with free WiFi is also 300 metres away from Malang Library.

The hostel was perfect. They helped me with everything, I also booked 3 tours with them and we went to the Bromo Vulcano, Ijen Crater & the tumpak waterfall together. We took so many nice photos on the tours and they cared a lot. The beds are very comfy, you have lockers for your stuff and also free coffee and tee. The showers are big and clean. The stay in Nadya's Hostel was the best stay on my Indonesia trip and it's also not expensive. The people there are so friendly. Its also central so you can walk to a laundry and there are also some cute restaurants nearby like Pizza place, typical Indonesian food and a salad place. I will comeback for sure !!!

While the accommodations might not be lavish, the hospitality is unparalleled, and comfort is guaranteed. The mattress one of the best I ever had in a hostel. I cherished the wonderful moments I had there, and Mr. Jon's tour team provided top-notch service. It was an absolute pleasure, and I will definitely return someday. The Bromo tour was nothing short of unforgettable. ;) Sending a big hug and sincere thanks to everyone. Nelson

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.
