The name in the title represents this place exactly. Be sure,  you don't want to experiencd this "nice"  location.  I never expect too much from the place but this guys have to improve something in their politics

Cockroaches nest

We initially booked this place simply as a base to leave our rucksacks while we were climbing Bromo, and never intended to actually sleep here, but for various reasons it transpired that we could not undertake the climb. 

The hotel seemed to be in a rather downbeat part of what was actually a lovely town. Upon entering our hot, unventilated room, we encountered lizards and mosquitos within minutes. There was no air-con, and the fan provided didn't work. Within ten minutes we were being bitten. The bathroom was no saving grace, with a sit down toilet that lacked a flush, and a rather unpleasant looking shower head. I can say with some certainty that we were not the only inhabitants of that bed. So bad was the room, that we attempted to forgo sleep altogether and stay out all night, holing up in a local bar, but when fatigue took over, we endured an uncomfortable few hours on top of the sheets in our own sleeping bags.

The staff seemed more interested in their own affairs than helping us when asking about our transit options for our onward journey and made asking them to call us a taxi seem like we were rude for asking. Totally unhelpful and disinterested. The so-called 'night porter' was asleep on a sofa when we emerged at 3:45, with the door left wide open all night.

Given questionable security, I'm not even sure this place is worthy of a bag drop. There are better budget options in Malang, ones which certainly won't ruin your stay. Just do not stay here. You have been warned.

Steer well clear

the bathroom was very dirty, the toilet seemed like it was'nt cleaned the last 3 months or something like that.. There was also a really bad smel coming out from the drain, and the door from the bathroom was broken, so we had to sleep with this ugly smell in the nose...
Breakfast was only a white bred with a tea with like 3 spoons of sugar inside, served at 7 Am in the morning infront of our door... 
Only the bed was ok, also the sheets were almost clean...

good bed but very dirty and loud

Grim. Small room with no a/c and a broken fan. Noisy and dripping water all night. Soap, shampoo and even towel not provided. Dirty floor, furnishings, bathroom and fixtures. Staff do speak English and try their best. 

Too basic

Having spent two nights at hotel Malang, I am very tired. I don't like to give reviews that are less than average, but I am honest and believe that my reviews should be accurate. 

Firstly, the staff are great. Very friendly and happy to help. On arrival, we weren't unable to book online as the site kept crashing, but they honoured the cost that was advertised, which we appreciated. We paid the amount for two nights and were given a key. 

That's when things went wrong. As we entered the room, a damp, stale smell hit us. The room was small, but enough space to walk around the bed. The bathroom smelt worse than the bedroom, and unfortunately the shower was the worst that I have experienced in Asia. Not only was it freezing cold (I have come to accept this) but there was no power whatsoever. It barely trickled out. Some leaked from the bottom of the head and a minimal  amount from where it should spray. This resulted in me using the "bum gun" to wash myself with.

We tried to put the fan on, which was so old it made zero difference to the heat/smell and you couldn't feel any air flow. 

The rooms were badly designed, as they are set off of a corridor, which leads to the busy main road (doors are left open all day/night). So not only does the noise echo, but pollution is drawn into the hotel. There are no windows, so fresh air is not an option. With the smell and visible mould in the rooms, my breathing was affected and I ended up coughing a lot and struggling for air at night. 

Night one we had little sleep due to traffic noise, a local mosque reciting the Quaran for most of the night, as well as a child continuously screaming from 2.30 to 3am. Admittedly this is not the direct fault of the hotel. However if rooms were sufficiently sound proofed, then we may have slept better.

When we thought that things could not get any worse, we were served breakfast. This was left outside our room in the morning, so when we went out at 8.30, a cold tea was waiting alongside a sandwich. I'm used to budget hotels/hostels providing bread and butter or jam for breakfast. But bread, butter and chocolate sprinkles is NOT breakfast. I have never heard of this combination, let alone for breakfast. Sprinkles are for cakes and deserts!!  
In my opinion, this is lazy, as there was a menu with nasi goreng and other easily cooked options, so something cheap could have been provided without difficulty. 

Overall, I am not disappointed, as we only paid £5 a night. The location was pretty good and staff were happy and friendly (even allowing us to check out an hour late).  But if I had paid any more then I would feel slightly cheated.
