I can not be more positive about the staff and the location. The staff made me feel really welcome and it was easy to explore all the different neighborhoods. China town is on the corner and the hostel organized a lot of tours around the city.

Unfortunately the vibe in the hostel is off, despite the staffs best efforts. There are a lot of permanent residents, some talk badly about guests and look down on staff. To the middle aged guy with the glasses, go live on your own, stop bothering tourists with your rules which go beyond being respectful and are downright sexist.

To the owner, you have a lovely staff, good accommodation, and a great location. You can let go of the profit of a few negative close minded residents in order to have a more positive vibe in the hostel.

Decent hostel, very close to Kota Tua train station. Rooms where a bit cramped and the AC didn’t quite get into the sleeping compartment when the privacy curtain is drawn.

The common space is nice but the beer is expensive and the hostel lacks some of the facilities of better hostels, for example universal plug sockets by the bed.

    Stayed here twice and hope to return again one day. Staff is very nice, really helpful. Facilities are some of the best of any hostel I have seen, after staying in dozens around the world – bed are very comfortable! Lockers are provided.

    It is in a great location too and I always felt comfortable there. It’s in the middle of the city but the building is quiet. Food nearby is walkable. Really great value overall. Highly recommended.

    We recently had the pleasure of staying at Konko hotel that truly surpassed our expectation. The modern decor throughout the facility created a stylish and inviting atmosphere, making our stay both comfortable and enjoyable. The building itself and the room, though a bit small and squeezy, was surprisingly well-appointed with contemporary furnishings, contributing to an overall positive experience.

    One of the standout features was the accommodation’s convenient location near the Gambir train station, providing easy access to our next location, Bandung and making it an excellent choice for travelers that are taking the train. The strategic positioning added a significant layer of convenience to my stay and was actually one of the main reason for choosing this hostel.

    The staff’s proficiency in English was another commendable aspect, ensuring effective communication and a smooth experience.

    The hostel’s commitment to cleanliness, while fair, didn’t overshadow the positive aspects. The bedsheets and towels were a bit dirty but overall fair. Additionally, the inclusion of complete toiletries in the bathroom was a thoughtful touch. They provided hairdryer which most hostel did not.

    Moreover, the 24-hour check-in service was a welcomed convenience, accommodating varying arrival times and contributing to the flexibility of the stay. However, it’s essential to note that the parking area, although providing ample spaces, appeared a bit shady at night with people flocking the gate smoking. Despite this, the availability of parking spaces alleviated any concerns about finding a spot for any vehicles.

    In conclusion, Konko Hostel offers a well-rounded experience with its modern decor, convenient location near a train station, English-speaking staff, and thoughtful amenities like complete toiletries. While the rooms may be on the smaller side and the parking area slightly questionable, the positive aspects far outweigh the downsides, making it a commendable choice for those seeking a comfortable and budget-friendly stay.

    Stayed for 4 days here and it was amazing. The staffs are very helpful and guide me when I need to check in really late. The room is clean and pretty comfortable, worth the price. The stair to the upper bunk bed is a bit small so you need to be careful when climbing up. They also have female only room. They have boxes for shoes, but somehow all of the boxes are full so you’ll find some shoes on the stairs as well. The front gate is locked around 11 pm but you can still call the staff or ring a bell and they’ll open it for you. Also they have 24 hours free coffee and tea which is a plus
