This misnamed multistorey hostel is well run, and somewhat functional. All the dorms (both mixed and female-only) are pod-style and air-conditioned, though it's BYO padlock for the lockers. It's in a good location off Jl Sosrowijayan, mere stumbling distance from this budget area's attractions. Breakfast is served on the rooftop terrace.
