  • “A Dutch-style house built in 1932 but still very well kept. It feels like visiting grandma's house: cool, fresh and clean. There's a smoking area too, plenty of toilets, 2 family rooms and a dormitory for backpackers. Highly recommended, with plenty of parking, so it's great for families holidaying in Malang by car.”
