The hostel is very nice and clean. It has two lovely terraces where you can sit and have tea or coffee (which is free). The room is nice and has a personal fan. The staff is super friendly and helpful. You can book tours here or find out about places to visit in the city. It has a kitchen and a large table where you can sit and eat. For the price, I thought it would be more basic, but it's actually very well-equipped and very comfortable. So I highly recommend it 🥰

A very nice and clean hostel with really pleasant common areas. The staff was incredibly kind, and their tour organization was excellent. I highly recommend staying here. I also recommend booking tours through their partner tour agency. I did the Tumpak Sewu Waterfall and Mount Bromo tours with them, and both were fantastic. Everything was perfectly organized from start to finish!

This is a lovely hostel. The staff are so welcoming and friendly. The place is spotlessly clean, with lovely decor and a tranquil relaxed vibe. The king room was so clean and comfortable, with a good en suite. Great location within the royal palace area. Very good value for money

We stayed in a 4-person dormitory. It was perfect: we had plenty of space for our bags, it was clean, and it was just what we needed before hiking Mount Ijen!

Everything in the Hostel is super clean. The beds are spacious and comfortable. There’s a kitchen where you can cook or just store food in the fridge. You get a good and fresh breakfast every morning :) The host of the hostel helps you in every way. They picked us up at night for free and drove us to several spots for example a coffee plantage. They help you with everything, we had the best time there! We would definitely come here again.

This brand new hostel is beautifully renovated and it is more than a pleasure to stay here. The place is managed by a collective of warm people who are travellers themselves, therefore they know travellers needs very well and that is felt in the whole house. The rooms are spacious and tidy, one is provided even with a real cuboard (!) for your stuff that can be locked, and the beds are very comfortable, showers brand new and warm. The living area is very well decorated with an eye for detail and lots of plants. And the staff is so welcoming, helpful and relaxed, it felt like friends. Also, great laundry service nearby, laundry is picked up from the hostel and brought back very clean and neatly folded (made me so happy after two weeks of hand wash ^^) staff is also happy to help out with scooter rental or good places to eat in town. If I could give 7 stars I would. Hope to be able to visit again some time. Wish you all the best on your projects dear snooze team.

We had a wonderful stay, it's probably the best place we've stayed at that price range so far across Bali and Java. Great value for money, the listing doesn't do it justice. We extended from 3 nights to 5. We'll definitely stay here next time we're in town. Room and bathroom were clean and well fitted. Bed comfortable, AC and mosquito net. Bathroom is big. The decoration is pleasant. The host is attentive. There's a communal rooftop we had to ourselves because there weren't many other guests. We rented scooters through the host to go to Borobudur and they were great and affordable. The location is wonderful, plenty of nice cafes and restaurants around. We loved it

I like it. Very basic little hostel down a dodgy looking alley. Nice and secluded and very quiet. The beds were comfy and the price was right. The staff were friendly and answered all my questions about the area. Green Canyon body rafting tour can be booked for rp250k which seems to be the cheapest on offer that I found. 100m or a 2 minute stroll to the surf beach and a 15 minutes walk to some nice warungs. Free tea and coffee, and some toast in the morning. Definitely worth staying if you just want to chill

The best hostel I've stayed in so far! Great staff, super location, very cozy, clean, plenty of common space. I liked it so much I extended my stay for two nights. If I'm ever back in Jogja I'll make sure to stay at Sante again!

The overall property was amazing and they are very clean and organized. The staff ensures the guests are at their comfort and they provide assistance at every instance we request anything for. Overall one of the best hostels I have stayed at and I would recommend this place as a goto place without any hesitation.

One of the best hostels i stayed in Indonesia. Loved the energy of the staff. Danny, Nindy and the one tall guy were super helpful in everything. The hostel is located in West Jakarta really close to the Airport.

The rooms were basic but okay. Beds were quite comfortabel and the shower was warm. The staff were really nice and were staying up late to drink some beers and play some music. The backpackers feeling was really nice and it was the perfect place to meet new people in Yogyakarta. The pool was also a nice addition.

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.

Great hostel! Only stayed there for a few hours before doing the 1D Bromo tour. Very clean and comfy! Bathroom was clean. Staff very friendly and tour guide really good. Great location closed to the coloured villages.
