“Sleep on the street before you sleep here”

people found this review helpful

This place was filthy, and I've stayed in $1 places all around Asia. This place failed to impress from the moment we arrived when the staff didn't speak English and walked us up to the room carrying our towels but not offering to help with the numerous small bags we had, up a filthy, chipped, cigarette butt covered stair case....

“Cheap but incredibly filthy”

I stayed for one night at the Sparkling Backpacker hotel. The room I stayed in was a standard; it was dirty, noisy and generally uncomfortable. The only plus is really the price, I played 115 000 RP for one night, but I'm not quite sure it was worth even that!

“Budget hostel for budget travellers”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 April 2010

My friend and I stayed here for one night on our way through to Bromo. Standard rooms do not have hot water and only have a moveable showerhead over a sink. For a $5 (CAD) upgrade we got a Deluxe room which was considerably bigger and had an actual shower with hot water. Note that the shower is clearly visible... More
