Well located for the sights and sounds around colonial Kota, this is a lively hostel with cheerful staff and a social set-up. In the evenings the lobby is abuzz with backpackers playing pool, beer in hand, to go with darts, foosball and a kitchen busy with guests cooking. Dorms have icy air-con and beds with curtains, power points and lamps.
Private rooms are brightly painted and come with or without en suite. Walking tours, pub crawls and good info on all things to do in Jakarta are also on offer.
