Edu Hostel

Yogyakarta


Set in an enormous former condo complex, Edu is the biggest hostel in Indonesia and popular mainly with domestic travellers. It has a whopping 324 beds scattered across 60 separate male and female dorm rooms, each with their own bathroom. A bit on the institutional side and not the best of locations but a great way to meet young Indonesians.
