EDU Hostel Jogja

2 Anusha Hasan - 3 months ago

Not the best hostel for foreign backpackers. The room we had was quite musty with ants on the sink and a broken A/C. the bed and pillow were very comfy though! they didn’t tell us when ‘free’ breakfast was when we checked in but it’s till 9am which is unnecessarily early I think. Breakfast wasn’t good, just rice and thinly sliced scrambled eggs.

As for staff, they’re really nice but not super helpful. sometimes they just say i don’t know and that’s it. but they eventually helped us with renting scooters, also there’s free water refilling station. location isn’t that great either, stay near Malioboro if you can!

Firstly, this is a hostel. Which means the facilities, features, amenities are much less. We stayed in 407.

Pros:
- Strategic location
- Parking lot
- Roof top
- Comfortable Bed
- Hot water
- Breakfast (standard fried rice)
- Drinking water refill station
- Relatively cheap for dorm-style 'hotel'.
- 4-6 person each room.

Cons:
- Not so clean
- Rusty, Musty, as this hotel has been neglected for quite a while
- Private bathroom is quite weird. Exhausts don't seem to be effective. A bit dirty
- Bed room wall is dirty
- Very noisy sounds from Air con machine outside our room
- TV seems to be broken
- Electric receptacles are far away from bed
- NO WIFI (Wi-fi only available in lobby area)
- No additional lamp for bed below
- Provided towels are a bit small
- Roof top or restaurant area is not well maintained
- What used to be swimming pool, currently used as pond. Yes, a pond. With gold fishes.

Summary.
- if you don't mind with any of 'CONS' i wrote, than it's okay to stay.
- Suitable for backpacker in groups.

I believe there are a lot of better alternatives in the area if you're planning to stay.

I’ve been staying in the hotel for 3 nights, the service was quite nice. It’s short distance to malioboro and KM 0 jogjakarta. Free breakfast (breeky) from 7-9 the foods quite yum with the variance. The staffs also humble and friendly with the guests. Oh ya if you have any space for urself might be the rooftop is right for you to see beautiful view to the city. It’s amazing scenery. Last no least the pool is available tho with the small capacity and unique.

Astonishingly cheap, quite comfortable and pretty strategic place in the city with a free breakfast. Seriously this is a pretty good place to spend the night if you've got a whole family with you, but don't expect much in room service as this is meant for a low budget backpacker hotel. For family go for the 4 bed private room you will get your money worth it.

I have great memories of this hostel when I stayed in 2013. I was really not feeling well for a few days and the owner was so incredibly kind. She brought me homemade soup to make me feel better. It was so nice to receive that level of caring when I was feeling so miserable. There is a special place in my heart for Jogja in general.

Recommended for people who are backpacking. Cheap price, breakfast included (and delicious), the room is cleaned everyday. And the bedding is super comfortable. If you obey the house rules (since you can live with 3 or 5 other people), you will be fine. They do not provide the lock for the locker. You can bring from home or buy it at the receptionist.
