Very conveniently located hostel, close to the train station. It’s well designed with lots of little signs and I liked the PlayStation in the common area. Ideal place for a Jakarta visit

First time I stayed I got lower bed but this time I stayed for 2 days and it was upper. I was having a difficult time to reach my bed each time. Also the second day my sleep was disrupted by other roommates several times.

I think the staff were very welcoming which kind of gave me a sense of belongingness. The bed was comfy. The facilities over there good and clean. Even though I couldn't book for 2 nights together, but the check in, payment and check-out were together for those two nights. So no hassles with different bookings.

My pillow was to soft and I heard my neighbors snoring.

I loved that I had to put out my shoes and put it in a box on the wall. The airco was perfect, it was neat and the staff was very sweet and helpfull.

Really comfortable beds. Private pods. Quiet location but really close to all the main attractions.

The 2 bed room was very tiny, it’s like a closet.

Very close to the train station and very clean.

The twin room was tiny. No room to open up a bag let alone have two people try!

Beds were comfy and clean. Staff were friendly

Almost no air to breathe. If you are used to sleep with open windows this will be your nightmare and a very hard sleep. If you are okay with that, enjoy your night.

The location of the hostel is great. Maybe the best you can find for the price. The staff is helpful and the place itself is clean. You get good value for money.

Top bunks are a little narrow and hard to climb up. Mindful if you’re not very strong

Very close to gambir station, easy walk. Bathrooms very spacious and clean. The bed is very comfy!

We were only there to sleep so it did the job!

Good location, friendly staff, comfortable beds with plugs/ lights/towels etc. Easy walk to Gambir train station in the morning. Good for a transit stop in Jakarta.

a bit smelly in the room, noise from the street (didn't bother us, but could be an issue for noise sensitive people)

Friendly staff, free coffee/tea, quiet at night, good location close to the train station

The walls are quite thin, but I don't expect soundproof walls 😅

Very reasonable price and great location

It I am nitpicking, walls are a bit thin, bring earplugs if you are sensitive.

Konko Hostel is a nice place to arrive in Jakarta - friendly, clean, safe, and in a great location for local and intercity transport. I arrived from an international flight, it is easy on the airport train to Manggarai, then two stops on commuter train to Gondangdia, then a short walk. A short walk to move on from Gambir the next morning, too. So, I only saw the area in the dark, but I would say it is very convenient for travel. My "Deluxe Single" was quite tiny, with a capsule-like bed and a small desk and a window, but if you study the photos carefully, they are an accurate presentation. Walls are a bit thin,so I heard the neighbours coughing. Other than that, I have absolutely no complaints - bed was comfortable, there was good light, plugs to charge my phone, drinking water in the room, tea and coffee for free by reception, and reception was staffed 24/7. The shared bathroom was clean and adequate. All in all, a very nice restful stay for my first night in Indonesia.
