"Hotel Tuga is exceptional. Most importantly, the staff treated us like long lost friends who really mattered to them. The physical surrounds of the hotel and restaurants are incredibly interesting. The pool was terrific as was the massage. Overall, a very hard place to leave after four nights."
"We had a totally satisfactory stay here. The hotel is dated but they clean it well and the staff are very pleasant. The breakfast options were ample and in the local style. We found the bed comfortable and the room quiet considering the bustling central location. A good base foe exploring the area. It’s very close to the heritage area with many great cafes."
"New hotel, clean, lovely, very friendly and helpful staff. Near major universities. Located next to a minimarket. About 15 min ride to train station.
There is no loop in the lobby / drop-off area, which is a hassle for drivers, creates a bit of bottleneck as cars need to reverse out. Uses Google to connect with front desk which appears modern, but a bit impractical."
"An absolutely perfect stay!
The staff could not have been more welcoming or helpful, they are genuinely a credit to the business.
We (late 30’s couple) stayed in a private ensuite room - it was very clean and had everything you could need. Basic but perfect for our 2 nights.
The hostel itself was beautiful. So clean and well manicured. There’s a fridge/cooker etc if needed. The communal areas were really well thought out and the whole place was pretty much silent the whole time we were there.
It’s tucked away in a lovely quiet street, a world away from the more chaotic main roads of the city.
The location was unbeatable for sightseeing around Malang, everything is walkable and most of the tourist sights are within just minutes of the hostel. The train station is just a few minutes walk or <£1 in a Grab.
I honestly couldn’t recommend it enough, particularly for the price. The staff made our stay, thank you for the recommendations and for your warmth and hospitality!"
