Good location, in jl. Braga surrounded by nice places to eat or drink. Inside it's colourfull with wallpaintings and sitting corners. I stayed in the dorm with bunk beds and a bathroom inside. For hot water I could use the other shower cabins, all well maintained. Every bed has a powerplug, nightlight and locker. Of all the reasons to come back I can't forget Aa, his staff and their friends. They gave me a warm welcome when I arrived, by being interested and telling stories and jokes. During my stay in Bandung I got to know more about my own history and I have met new friends. It was nice to 'come home' after a day of new experiences and tell about it at the rooftop terrace of Chez Bon, where people play music and have good conversations. A great place to stay, especially for solo travelers. While your there, ask about the tour with Enoss. He can take you to Kawah Putih, the lush green tea plantation and a natural hot spring.

Great budget option, lovely staff

We stayed with the two of us at the hostel for three nights. Via HHostelworld we booked a shared 4  person bedroom, but  it turned out to be a bedroom for 2 people for the same price. The hostel has clean rooms and bathrooms, includes breakfast and has a rooftop terrace. The last day there was no water available due to scarcity in the city. The location of the hostel is perfect, located in the main Street of Bandung. The staff is really friendly and helpfull. They even gave us some food to thank us for our stay. You can also book tours to see the nature north and/or south of Bandung via the hostel. Definitely recommend chez bon!

Amazing staff and perfect location

There are lots of cheap places to stay in Indonesia, but often they skip on things like hygiene and comfort. In contrast, Chez Bon is always clean and comfortable, so while there aren't a great deal of luxuries, they do all the simple things right.

Examples of the facilities that are almost always reliable are wifi, hot water and the breakfast (these are usually terrible in places with similar prices). Highly recommended if you're on a budget.

Perfect budget accommodation

The central location is perfect on Braga and close to not just eateries but also the Alun Alun area where you can catch a local bus out to the countryside or relax on the artificial turf in the evening where couples and families play with balls and colourful spinners. The streets here are also lined with young buskers which gives the place a festive vibe.

The hostel itself comes with free breakfast: 2 slices of bread, 1 fry-on-your-own egg and a hot coffee/ tea. It was great being able to fry the egg exactly the way I liked it. The rooftop dining area is a good place to socialise with the other hostelites. It also has racks for you to hang out wet laundry. My dorm had 8 double-bunk beds though we had only max 5 ladies staying in this room when I was there. Each bed comes with its own reading light and power socket, plus a personal metal locker beside. Wifi is stable in the room but doesn't work on the rooftop. It gets cold in the night. I stole 2 blankets from the other (empty) beds and even with 3 blankets, I was still curled up like a pretty cold baby. If you're not cold tolerant, steal/ ask for more blankets! Note: the dorm had an ensuite bathroom but hot shower was only available in the common toilets outside. 

The hostel owner Aa and the staff were very friendly. Aa happened to step out of the staff room as I was checking in and kindly oriented me to where I wanted to go with clear directions on local buses and fares. He even hosted me to a nice local lunch. When I returned in the evening, his hospitality continued with a local dinner, sightseeing around Chinatown by becak (that bicycle/ trishaw hybrid) and a short trip to Lio Genteng to meet the local youths with whom he worked with as part of his own community development projects. My new youth friends delivered us back to the hostel on their bikes. Aa also helped arrange a day tour of the South for me with Enoss. A total local immersion.

Overall, hostel amenities are no-frills but comfortable. Vibes are laidback and fellow travelers are relaxed. Staff are super friendly. One guy with a headful of dreadlocks (didn't catch his name) not only recommended me a good and cheap dinner place, he walked all the way with me up to the eatery and menu stand and pointed out the specific dish before running back. Great location, stable wifi, good enough for a revisit.

Perfect location in the heart of Bandung and close to airport

Chez Bon is the perfect backpackers' place ! The dormitory is clean, the owners friendly and fun ! They help a lot to organise our stays here : one day trip with guides (ask for Ipey Rasta !!) 
Good opportunity to meet new people in this very interesting city.
