Ikiru to Live

Super friendly staff. They helped me organize my tour to Bromo and Ijen, checked in on me when I coughed to see if I was sick and needed anything, etc. I for some reason thought I had booked something shared but it was a private room in the end by my mistake, but the room is nice. Mine didn’t have a lot of natural light but it was a good place to rest before doing the two volcanoes. The breakfast can offer vegetarian options. The bathroom you could tell wasn’t new but it’s hot water and they provide a nice towel and soap/shampoo. Thank you for the stay! (I did end up paying for two nights though I only slept one as the Bromo pick up is at midnight).

Super friendly, made to feel very welcome. Room is great for the price.

Nice place to stay!
☺️
Affordable price with good quality and service.
The staff so helpful, she lend me a raincoat when I didn't have it.

Stay here for 1 night and It was very comfortable and clean. Staff was very helpful in sorting out transportation to malang and jakarta.

The place is very nice, clean and comfy. The stuff is very kind showing me around and recommending me local food.

I came here very last minute after a very disappointing and gross hotel. The staff was so kind and helpful, setting me up at the reception desk with patience and care. The guesthouse is small and calm, little kitchen and sitting area are very amicable. The room was amazing, super neat and clean, very nice provisions like water, TV, and free toothbrush. Honestly the best!

Loved this place! Quiet and comfortable, easy to reach the train/bus/airport. Staff are so kind, beds are super comfy. The breakfast and laundry service are also lovely! Highly recommend.

I stayed in the shared room for one night. The room was good and the A/C was nice and maybe necessary. Each bed comes with its lockable cabinet which can fit a small luggage (carry-on size) and then some (photo). The bathroom is not the nicest but it's there (sorry no pic) but there are other bathrooms in the house that the staff offered for me to use when it's taken. I felt very safe in the house. The residents are respectful of each other and there are sturdy doors. The staff if super helpful if you need something or want recommendations. It's not too close to train station or airport but Grab is affordable enough for me and to the nearest train station was just about 20k Rp. There is a breakfast available for an extra charge (25k Rp) and I think it's pretty substantial. I got the "local food" which was purchased for me just before my breakfast time.

Comfortable 1 night stay for Bromo hike. Great value and super useful location in a particularly nice area of Surabaya with many high quality warung in walking distance. Comfortable room with good air con, and nice shower. Staff very friendly, helpful and speak good English.

The girls working in the guesthouse were very sweet and helpful.
The rooms are nice and clean and the bed is comfortable.
The only downside is that the toilet/bath is very small.
Location is okay, but it does take a while to go the train station or airport.
There is a supermarket close to the guest house about 5 min walking.

Super nice hostel. Very clean, the beds are confortable, the staff is adorable and very helpful. The breakfast I had was very good!
I had a great time in Surabaya :)
Thanks.

Amazing experience! We only stayed for one night, but it was the best. Was able to schedule airport shuttle easily, and it was only 130, 000 per car. The driver was super nice and made a stop on the way to let us get some food before we arrived to the guesthouse. The air conditioning works well, and beds are comfortable.

Loved this guesthouse. Lovely rooms, comfy bed, a lot of space, great shower and a kitchen with a fridge and tea and coffee. Highly recommend it — the staff are so nice and the lady who owns it helped me out with an issue I had today. Thank you guys! We will be back when we come back to Surabaya 🙏😊

Good and quite location. Many food options around. Room and toilets are clean. AC is strong and cold. Water pressure is good as well.

Good place. Stayed for a few days in the 1st floor guesthouse then moved for a few months to the 2nd floor dorms.
Good place, very nice service. Popular for outsiders too. Would recommend.

There are not enough words to thank Ikiru and her amazing owner and staff!
She made our stay in Surabaya just perfect!
So kind and helpful!
The rooms are very clean and the breakfast is very good, the location is very convenient. Super recommended!
Thank you again for your generous hospitality 🙏🏻

Great hostel. Yuvi and her staff, Robi and Ija are warm and kind and friendly. They make you feel at home immediately. The hostel has shared rooms and private rooms. It's clean and neat, close to nice restaurants, coffee shops and a good supermarket but far enough off the main road to be quiet and peaceful. Security is excellent. The breakfast is good.
