Shelter Hostel Malang

Amazing hostel, great value for money, staff who go above and beyond.
We stayed here for 2 nights. The room was clean, comfortable and quiet with AC. The middle floor was a social atmosphere with drinks/water and the usual amenities. The location is perfect to walk or grab/taxi around the city.
What truly amazed me though is the helpfulness of the staff! I left my earbuds/airpods at the hostel, and upon realising contacted them. They agreed to ship them to my next stay in Bali and I’m so grateful!
I’d absolutely reccomend this hostel!

I recommend it so much! Staff is so welcoming and kind.
Bedroom, shower, toilet everything were super clean.
We arrived during the night and the night guard welcomed us.
It is the place to go for backpackers.

So, we loved it here! We stayed for 7 days in a private room with shared bathroom. No complaints, the staff was amazing and helped us with all our questions. They made delicious food and helped us with tours. Location is great, we walked everywhere. We arrived very early in the morning and could wait in a cozy area in the cafe of the hostel until check-in (which was earlier than expected).

We loved everything about our stay!
We stayed in the private AC room, which had a lovely loft and window to look at the city. It was clean, cozy and comfortabele.
The staff was welcoming, very friendly and always willing to help.
We went on the one day waterfall trip, our guide was very warm and friendly.
We also went on the Bromo/Ijen trip, which was perfectly organized.
Would definately recommend!

I didn’t get enough sleep here because it was too humid for me, and there was no air conditioning as mentioned on the website.
I arrived early in the morning and the staff kindly allowed me to store my luggage, which I really appreciated.
The location is great, very close to a viral spot and easily reachable by walking.

Cute little hostel walking distance to the train station and not too far from the central square. Friendly service and clean amenities.

Hello,
The Shelter Hostel in Malang is a very cozy hostel with super sweet stuff (they even cooked our noodles, when we wanted to eat our own noodles & pesto) and great + cheap food. The showers are very clean and the waterpressure is just amazingly comfortable.
We loved our 2 nights stay here and definitely recommend this place to others.
Cheers.

My partner and I spent a wonderful four nights here recently. The private loft rooms, with both fan and air-con, are spacious and comfortable. The shared bathrooms are close to the room and super clean. The location is central, the shared space is open and fun and the staff are amazing. We would definitely stay there again. In general, the place was super clean. Thanks to you all at Shelter Hostel. :)

Didn’t stay at this hostel but I did their 2 day/1 night Mount Bromo/Ijen and it was amazing. So well organised, with a fun and interesting guide who was very respectful. We got to go to a locals’ hot spring as well. Great group of people on the tour. Was only £70 for the tour including overnight accommodation, which was a lot cheaper than others online.

Amazing experience, cute hostel close to the station, clean and fully equipped with towels and all amenities. A special thank to.
Mirna who helped us to find train tickets and definitely saved our trip!
Can’t recommend enough.

I am a fan! The whole hostel interior is so pretty, the dorm rooms are amazing and everything is clean! The staff is very lovely and helpful, location is central and the price is very affordable. Not a single bad thing to say about this place at all! I would come back any time!

I 100% recommend this hostel. The beds are comfy, hot water in the showers and all of the staff are incredibly friendly and helpful. The food is also very good and very reasonably priced. They helped me book my Mount Bromo tour which was incredible and I was also able to book my train ticket through the hostel which was very helpful. If I ever find myself back in Malang, I would definitely stay here again.

Interesting and comfortable double rooms with a loft. Quite spacious area underneath the loft for f. I. Backpacks. Rooms are on 2rd and 3rd floors (no elevator), so hoisting large suitcases up may be a problem, but we managed just fine with our backpacks.
Breakfast and food options in their restaurant are great. They were easily able to cater to some food insensitivities. Unfortunately, no options to make your own food / boil water. But, one coffee free of charge per person per day.
Friendly staff, including night guard. Hostel offers a free Kampung tour done by a local intern/student.

Our favourite accomodation that we have stayed in Indonesia. Stayed in a private room with a double bed in a loft design. This was really fun and had a view from the loft over the city. Very convenient location for the train and local restaurants.

The hostel is clean and all the staff are really welcoming and friendly. The showers are clean and hot, beds are also really comfy, definitely one of the best hostel we stayed at while travelling Asia. Would definitely recommend!

Sure! Here’s a polished review you can use:
I had a wonderful stay at this hostel! The cleanliness was impeccable, making me feel comfortable and at home throughout my visit. The creative and artistic interior design added a unique charm to the place, making it stand out from other accommodations. The food at the restaurant was not only healthy but also incredibly delicious—perfect for starting the day or unwinding in the evening. The staff were all super friendly and went out of their way to make the experience enjoyable. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a cozy and inspiring stay!

We organised a becak tour of Malang through the hostel though we weren't staying there. What a great way of seeing the city. Our guide Pian took us to a local market, the rainbow village, alun-alun, and Ijen Boulevard. He tailored the tour to suit our 6 year old and 9 year old. The whole family had an excellent time! After the tour finished Pian recommended a local restaurant for soto ayam. I highly recommend the tour and Pian.
