Located in Banyuwangi, 17 km from Watu Dodol, PaddyView by Zzz provides accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a shared lounge and a terrace. Free WiFi and a shared kitchen are provided.

Each room is fitted with air conditioning, and certain rooms at the hostel have a balcony. Such an affordable place but with amazing service! The rooms are simple but super clean, and the hostel is well-organized. We booked the Ijen tour through them, and it was smooth and totally worth it. The staff even sent us recommendations for local food and places to visit before we arrived, which was a really nice touch!

Located in Malang, 3.4 km from Velodrome Malang, Zzz Hostel Malang provides accommodation with a shared lounge, free private parking and a terrace. Located around 4.6 km from Alun-alun Tugu, the hostel with free WiFi is also 4.8 km away from Taman Rekreasi Kota. The accommodation offers a shared kitchen and room service for guests. I spent hours reading and journaling. It felt calm and safe, even for a solo female traveler. The rooms were basic but clean, and the showers had hot water (which I didn’t expect!). Staff were soft-spoken and respectful, and the other guests were laid-back—not rowdy backpackers, which I appreciated. A great choice if you’re looking to unwind for a few days.

Set in Banyuwangi, 20 km from Watu Dodol, Ninap hostel offers accommodation with a shared lounge, free private parking, a terrace and a bar. The accommodation provides a 24-hour front desk, a shuttle service, a shared kitchen and free WiFi throughout the property. Over the years of traveling, I have seen many hostels. This one is among the best, comparable to Seattle hostels. Very clean, comfortable, everything is well-organized in the house, comfortable sleeping places. The owner is very hospitable! Right on the spot, they organized a tour to the volcano Ijen for me, for which I came here. The place is quiet, calm, on the river bank, but there are no mosquitoes. A dream of a perfectionist traveler!😃

At the hostel, the rooms include a desk. Featuring a private bathroom with a bidet and free toiletries, rooms at ZEN MOON Hostel also feature free WiFi, while some rooms are fitted with a city view. All rooms have a safety deposit box. Incredible hostel with dorms and private rooms in Yogyakarta. The rooms were super clean, comfortable, and well-taken care. I especially liked the bathrooms and little garden! The location is great. It’s in an alley, so you do not hear much noise except a mosque nearby. There’s several good restaurants close by. The host was super friendly and can help you arrange tours or transportation if needed.
