Matahari Lodge

The showers don't work properly and there's no hot water. The rooms are bare minimum, and they aren't cleaned unless you ask. Breakfast is a joke. I know it's a budget hotel, but there are basic things that should be provided, and there aren't even hooks in the room, so you have to put your clothes on the floor. It's dirty, and management ignores complaints. They smile and say "tomorrow". This place is a dump and not worth a 3*. The phone number on the website doesn't work. Horrible experience!

The staff were super friendly and helpful. My flight was at 6 in the morning, and they let me stay, relax, and take a shower before leaving. I spent two nights in a single room; it was clean and came with a towel, and the toilet had hot water. The shared rest area was comfortable, with a TV, kitchen, and a terrace with tables and a speaker if you want to play music. The location is handy for the market, public transport, shops, and restaurants. I’d come back if I get the chance.

A great budget option for backpackers and other budget travelers. The place is well maintained, and the staff are friendly and helpful. There’s a train station right beside it for getting around the city, plus a free shuttle bus nearby. One of the best places I’ve stayed, I think.

A low-cost hostel in a really good Chinatown location, close to Central Market and the bus and train stations. It has no windows, so it’s dark, but it was clean and quiet. Breakfast was free and the staff were friendly.
