A GREAT place to stay for budget travelers! The room I booked (a single room) was clean and comfortable. They even have a nice wooden multi-hanger stand and a shelf; it's very convenient! For RM30 a night, it's well worth the price paid. The 3 toilets are clean (the toilet rolls never ran out) and don't worry about the shared... More

50MYR gets you a double room with shared bathroom, really friendly and helpful staff, free tea, coffee and water, free wifi and basic breakfast in this small friendly backpackers hostel.

Insanely overpriced (and so mostly empty), but actually crispy new hostel in downtown of Kuching. If you're tired from squat-like wet toilets, annoying smelling and noisy 'backpackers' and bedbugs, and have a deep pockets with bunch of bucks - check this place.
