This place was great for us. The owners collected us from the airport, got us all sorted, sat us down with a map and gave us so much information, it was fantastic. It is a flat up 2 sets of stairs and there are 3 rooms, but we were the only guests the entire time. You can't just 'walk-in' here... More

Wesley and Teresa were absolutely wonderful. Very helpful for giving advice about transportation, places to visit and they pointed us to some great places to eat! The hostel has a very relaxed atmosphere with a 24 hour breakfast on the table. We felt really at home during our stay here. Fantastic value for money.

a group of 10 of us stayed at this simple backpackers' dorm tucked away along a row of shophouses in Kuching. it was affordable, homely and very comfortable. never mind that there's no air conditioning. Wesley was very accomodating and made us feel right at home. Would stay longer next time. :)
