    Anonymous. Which can be good if coming from a long train trip.

    Basic but spotless guesthouse. No backpackers vibe. But more comfortable then ‘Ljen Backpacker’. It is more ‘expensive’ therefore the rooms are more spacious. This guesthouse offers a good overnight stay 4 minutes walk from train station and 8 minutes from ferry in a safe neighborhood. The veiled Muslim lady was friendly but not very talkative. Which is good. No nonsense: arrive, sleep and leave in a spotless clean area.

    Simple but comfortable room inside a lovely home. Our host even got us some pastries for our trip. You do need to walk through the house to get to the bathroom. The location is great for those like us who just needed a place to stay between the ferry and the train. No ac, just a fan.

    Hotel is located 10 min walking distance from harbourg. Perfect location if you are travelling from/to Bali/Java using ferries. Easy to find, clear room, A/C fully functional, and we were given a small breakfast before leaving. Gentle lady welcome us even when arriving late (10:30 pm). To recommend !

    It's basic but wouldnt expect anything else for the price. Exactly what we needed.

    We only stayed for 1 night and it was the perfect location for this. 5 minute walk from the train station and 5 minute walk from the ferry port. We got in late and were met by the host and a clean, comfortable room. The pastries in the morning were a nice touch.

    The lady didn't speak English and seemed really shy. So we couldn't talk at all. We could hear the call for prayer VERY loudly. The door to your room doesn't go to the top of tbe wall , s o there is an open square above your doit, which gives onto the community kitchen. So people there can hear everything fromage your room and you hear all the voices and noises from the kitchen.

    It's enormous. It's extremely clean. Breakfast is offered and delicious. The lady seemed really nice. Well located between station and harbour.

    No Air conditioning, just a fan which lead to it being quite hot when sleeping.

    It was very close to the train station and the ferry port. Bedroom and bathroom were clean and we were supplied with towels, water and tea.

    Great place for a stay after catching ferry from Bali. Convenient for ferry and train. Tasty doughnuts and mangosteen (fruit) for breakfast.

    There was no reception or any customer service. We were generally left alone. Fine for some travellers but would have been nice if there was a reception that we could ask questions about the local area.

    Nice large comfortable rooms.

    Very difficult to locate down narrow bike paths at night. The taxi drove in circles for 15’ before I got out and walked. The actual entrance not as shown here on Maps 7/‘25 but around other side of a large walled property closer to station. Close to rail station within 15’ walk to the Bali ferry. Automated booking message confusing. It read as if a single traveller not welcome “couples only” or similar was the wording.

    Clean basic huge room in an equally huge home. Ms Eyang is very welcoming and responsive to messages. Enjoyed a good sleep under a good fan. No aircon. For the price you could not expect any!

    Totally not hygienic, molds everywhere in the bathroom (bathroom caulking) and no toiletpaper available...

    Located very central (walking distance train station and harbour for ferry's going to Bali). Free breakfast (a few slices of fruit and a donut) but no allergic information available.

    Nothing - we only stayed overnight (and got on a 0525 train), and it was perfect for that.

    Clean, spacious, quiet. Perfectly located for the train station. V inexpensive. Get street food on the main road a short walk away! Hosts rather in the background, but friendly and generous when we saw them. Those 4:30am pastries were very much appreciated.
