Kultur Umalas Hostel - Adults Only

3/5

This place feels very different from the photos. Most of the facilities have aged poorly, less clean than expected. I requested for a bottom bunk bed which was agreed to, but was given an upper bunk. I didn’t mind at first but at bedtime, I saw a hanging string of dirt from the ceiling and wanted to move immediately, but kind Ari helped me change bed eventually to a bottom bunk. The ceiling structure is less solid and does not cover from the roof entirely, so I’d suggest to sleep only on the bottom. Other cons are, the working space is limited and people smoke around there which is unpleasant. Breakfast is super basic, toast is fine but at least provide better jams. The paddy field view that was shown in the pictures, is now blocked by a building next door. Toilet has no place to hang clothes and towel. It’s quite noisy from the Main Street, zero soundproof. The pros are daily cleaning of the communal space and beds. Curtains, charging point and lights in the bunk are good, they even have a ventilator. Bed is comfy. Great service by staff and Ayu. Loved the refill station idea and water filter/purifier provided, the refill is the reason I chose this place. Fair for its price but next time I’d try somewhere newer. [Update: Added 1 star due to kind and positive response by management]
