In a quiet residential street to the north of town is this popular, chilled-out hostel. The whole place is spotless, the staff are super-friendly and the little garden is a pleasant place to sit and chat to other travellers. Prices go up by 10,000Rp to 20,000Rp on weekends, while in low season you can expect significant discounts.
The CCTV in the dorms is a bit off-putting but does ensure your stuff is safe, though all guests bar exhibitionists will prefer to get changed in the bathroom!
There's no sign, so you'll need to look for the bright-yellow double-storey house. It's a good place to organise day treks up to the nearby Gunung Salak volcano and rice fields. Owner Ika also offers backpacker accommodation in her family home nearby.
