Hostel Penak Malioboro

4 Tedwin Tansan - 3 years ago

This backpacker hotel provides free WiFi access and breakfast for a very low price.

If only the public area is cleaner and insect-free, I'd very much like to give 5 stars.
The staff are quite friendly. The room is quite clean for economy class and toilet area is comfy and clean.

Wifi is quite fast. So five star to that.

Suggestion to consider:
1. Perhaps adding a bit of music in the entrance and public area could make the stay more enjoyable.

2. Putting small sign in front of the small alley might make people find the hotel easier because the location of the hotel is quite hidden.

Nice place to stay in Yogyakarta. There's mix dorm n women dorm. It have good view from the rooftop. It's near from Malioboro street (3 mins walk). The breakfast tastes good. You can choose rice or bread with jam.
But when I stayed there for a while, the water smells bad. I hope the managements will fix it soon ????

Good location, cheap accommodation, and friendly staff. Breakfast are included, there are two types of them. First one is the local rice dish combined with noodles, and tempe. And the other one is the usual toast and jam. There are also sky deck here, it's a nice place to hang out. This hostel has no Muslim prayer room. If you need one you need to go to the nearest mosque, not far from here. Ask the staff.

The place is very clean and modern - everything is ok.
BUT:
WiFi works only near the reception,
AC in dorms is paid (5k) and turned on only from 9PM to 9AM (in our case was turned off at 7am),
Alcohol cannot be consumed on the premises,
There's no light above the mirrors,
Duvet is too damn thick for this conditions (a simple sheet would do),
No toilet paper,

Only stayed for a night and so far it was an enjoyable experience. I stayed in a single room.
+ Modern design, doesn't look as cheap as the price
+ Serve breakfast on rooftop
+ Convenient since it is near both Malioboro Mall and Tugu Station
+ Bedsheet doesn't smell and is neat
Unfortunately this new hostel seems to lack some basic hospitality.
- There is no information about the wifi password on each room.
- The fan is set way too straight, it needs to be lowered so the wind can reach the bed
- The concrete floor is a confusing theme because there were red patches (that looks like blood) and it feels a little uncomfortable if we want to sit on it.
- The electricity socket should be placed lower so guest can use phone while still charging.
- The toilet flusher is not working properly and it feels slimy when we touch it
- The bathroom smells piss
- There is only shower inside and it is not removable so it's a little difficult if we want to take a bath without washing our hair. We also have to brush tooth and wash face separately outside in the sink.
- Located in an alley and for first time coming guest may found it difficult to find this place. Luckily, it also means less noises from the street.

Overall it is a hostel with nice concept but still need improvement on general hospitality.

Very nice and clean place to stay at night, it gives you more than a shelter, it gives you sanctuary from the harm of the night.
Wether you sleep on the economic room or dorm, those are very clean, lovely, lively, cozy. Worth for every money you spent for this place
