This is just a great place! Friendly staff, new and very comfortable beds, clean toilets and (hot) showers. The restaurant serves good and very cheap food. Good variety of beers. I stayed in the dorm for 50' a night. Great value. But if all 18 beds are occupied I think it will feel a bit cramped. The only negative thing... More

The location of Kampong Tourist is great- at the top of the Hotel Helios near the Malang train station. There are also plenty of good restaurants and cute cafes around. The decor of the place is cute, with the huts and dorms made of bamboo, it really does feel like you should be on a beach and not in the... More

Kampong Tourist accommodation has a relaxed atmosphere and a great view so we really enjoyed our four night stay here. It is located at the rooftop of the Helios Hotel and with a cool breeze you forget the city surrounding you. You can either choose between a private hut or the dorm room. We stayed in the latter, which was... More

We had to stay in a dormitory because everything was full because of the Christmas/New Year holiday, but it was a really nice place to stay. Not to expensive, we paid 90.000RP per night, and they had hot showers! A thing we didn't have had for a long time. Clean showers to, western style toilets, racks to put wet clothes/towels... More

We stayed one night here and with the beach huts, laid back atmosphere and music almost felt like we were by a beach not the top floor of a hotel (the whole hostel is on the 3rd floor of Hotel Helios). Prices are good 50,000 dorm, 100,000 double and 120,000 triple. There is no fan or air on but the... More

On the roof of hotel helios the dutch hostess placed à little bar and 3 bamboo huts. It has à nice atmosphere and great englisch speaking service. The colder(less hot) climate of malang with the windy roof top makes this place an excellent spot to relax from the busy life down below. The shower and toilets are open air and... More

A cheap, clean and nice hostel. The bamboo houses are really cosy. If you don't mind the noise of motors, it is the perfect place to stay in Malang. Everybody speaks English and is very friendly. The food they serve is good. They also arrange nice trips to Bromo and other sights.
