The floors were clean, and the design of the bathroom area is nice. I got into a mild motorcycle accident during my stay, and the hostel manager was very helpful in helping me tape up the wounds. The hostel manager also provided good food recommendations in the area. I also liked how the manager was receptive to suggestions for the hostel.

I really liked this hostel :) The staff and owner were exceptionally nice! Also, the rooms and facilities were clean and comfortable. Even though, the common area is rather small, it was a great space to have a cup of coffee and meet the other guests there! Would 100% recommend 😁

All hostels in Butterworth

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.
