Lee the owner was great and very helpful. Decent enough dorm beds with individual lights and charging ports, help yourself breakfast always available. Shower also not bad. Only drawback really was that there was a bit of an ant problem so be careful leaving food out! All in all recommended if you want a cheaper place to stay in Surabaya however

Awesome, quiet spot. Lee was really nice to chat to and hang out with during my stay in Surabaya. It's a hectic city to be honest, but staying at his place made it so easy.

Relaxing, breakfast provided, good beds and good storage for everything. Would definitely come back again, plus really good price and the little doggo is a charmer. Give him a pat ????

I have stayed twice in the hostel and had a great time. Lee and his wife are amazing host and beyond helpful, arranging transport, storing my luggage, buying a local vegetarian breakfast and could go on forever ;) the bed is very comfortable and clean room and bathroom. Has as well Kitchen facility to prepare your own meals. Would always come again. Maybe this time doing mt bromo with Lee. Heard other fellow backpackers highly recommending it :)

Lee and family are extremely friendly and helpful. They helped me and two fellow travellers book our mount Bromo tour safely and efficiently. Thank you!

A few more toilet/shower facilities would be great, but to be honest it was fair for the number of guests in situ, so that’s not a major issue.

Great value for money.

Accommodation is pretty basic however it's cheap and Lee the manager is extremely helpful so definitely worth going to even just to buy a beer and have a chat with him. Would recommend.
