About

Hello!!

Semeru Hostel is a cozy inn with a simple home-style concept, specially designed for backpackers and travelers. Our hostel is perfect for young travelers who enjoy meeting new people, sharing stories, and connecting with fellow adventurers from around the world.

We provide free Wi-Fi in all areas, a shared kitchen, and a comfortable working space located in the communal dining area — ideal for digital nomads and remote workers.

12-bed dormitory

Private dorm (2 beds in 1 room)

All dorm beds are equipped with a private curtain, personal reading lamp, electric plug, and clothes hanger to ensure comfort and privacy.

Our hostel is conveniently located in the city center, making it easy to explore Malang. You can easily find us on Google Maps. We are only:

4 minutes from Malang City (Kota Baru) Train Station

30 minutes from Batu City

We also provide tour packages to:

Currently, we do not provide breakfast, but we are happy to recommend local breakfast spots around the hostel. Guests can enjoy 24-hour self-service mineral water refill, coffee, tea, and sugar free of charge.

This hostel is so so nice and the host Eko was absolutely amazing - so kind and helpful which really makes a difference to the enjoyment of the stay. The only downside was the mosquitoes in the dorm room so maybe bring a mozzie net with you! Thank you Eko!! 🫶🏻

The hostel is incredibly clean, comfortable and is in a great location, not only that but “Ekosistem” was the most accommodation hostel staff member I’ve met along my travels. He would take us out for dinner to his favourite local places, stay up late chatting to us, even come out with us on his day off. He made malang so special for me I’ll definitely be back.
