Backpacking in Indonesia? Find Bandung Hostels

"Tokyo Cubo is excellent for the value of money. The place itself is very close to the station (only 800m or about 15-20minutes of walking to get there) near the heart of Bandung so if you plan your day to get started from the center of Bandung, it's location is really helping. The staff is also really nice, very clean, you get towels, hot water for shower and for toilet necessity; there's soap--no shampoo though. The downside is no fridge in the common room at all so you can't really save any easy to stale food--the staff are willing to help though, they help me put down my yogurt in the cafe next door. The room can get really freezing but there's nothing you could do because it's a shared room, the other occupants may find it hot if you lower the ac so if you're not fond of cold that much (like me) you might want to bring extra blanket yourself. Wifi is nice, there's no breakfast included but there's a lot of food stall in front of the hostel. Thanks Tokyo cubo!"

"The hotel location is not in a main street, but that's fine for us, because sometimes we also need a quiet place. Actually the hotel exterior and interior is one thing that attracted us when we saw the photos on agoda website, and we would like to try. But something that really bother us is when we chekced in, the reception is asking for a deposit fee, while we already paid in FULL through Agoda. As far as I know usually hotel will ask for deposit when we haven't done full payment. They ask for IDR 200K for each of the room that we booked ( 2 rooms is 400k). I refused to give them any deposit since it's not make any sense at all. So the receptionist offered me alternatives to allow them to keep my ID card which I strongly reject the idea, since it's to risky. Event a 5 stars hotel will only need a copy our ID and never hold our original ID card while we stay at the hotel. After several minutes arguing, finally they agreed to only receive deposit IDR 200K for both rooms, since it's the only cash that i got in my pocket. This is after I dissapointed and ask the receptionist to call the manager, and he said that there is no manager in charge in this hotel. I finally found out that this hotel is also operating as monthly / yearly room rental for university students. I begin to see where that 'strict' policy came from. But hey !!..we are your hotel guests who only want to stay 1 or 2 days, and already give you full payment. Dont treat us as a university students that will runaway when they have an outstanding rental payments. It's very unprofessional and impolite. That bad first impression really dissaponted us. The 'hotel' staffs actually can try to win our hearts again by proofing their best services, as stated in agoda :'Excelent'. Unfotunately it didn't happened. The bed sheet were not so neat. It looks like that the cleaning service did not make room properly before new guest entering the room. No tissue in the toilet, no cup and coffee maker. Even in on"

"Unexpectedly nice and tidy. The room is typically Indonesian rent room (kos). I love that they provide hot water. I recommend to all solo traveler to book this room! Budget and nice room!"

"For those looking for cheap and clean accommodation... I highly recommend this P Hostel. But what might be improved is the amenities could be added (only have towels and soaps. no shampoo and teethbrush). And our room was located beside the mosque. I was awaken in the middle of the night because of the loud speaker came from the mosque. But, nevertheless it was a nice experience. Might book this place again in the future. "
