I liked the cleanliness, the staff, and the general area. I didn’t stay long, but it was relaxing. The room was a bit stuffy and humid so I spent more time in the lounge area.

The room was just too uncomfortable. Squat toilet which smelled no matter how much water you put down it, no sink, no mirror, no towels, no bin in the bathroom, cold water in shower. Bathroom didn't feel very clean. I am happy with fan rooms normally but the very old desk fan in the room was not doing the job so it was sweltering. Bed linen didn't smell good. Just giving toast for breakfast not great.
I feel bad giving this a passable review because the staff were so very nice and helpful, excellent Bromo tour for 400 IDR available every night. If you just book in for a night and take the tour it would be OK but no longer than that. Pretty close to the train station and very close shops.

The location. The area at night was unsafe - don’t recommend leaving the hostel. We went to get something to eat in the evening and was followed by a man on his moped. He would drive past, turn around and drive back past us. As 2 female backpackers this was very intimidating and not a nice experience. Room also had a lot of flies.
It was good value for money. Very basic but shows in the price. Ideal place to stay if planning to visit Mount Bromo at sunrise - offer a good tour for 400,000. Just don’t recommend leaving the hostel apart from for the tour.

The private bathroom smelled and the showerhead was broken. Some staff have passable English, most have some serious difficulties; I had to argue for five minutes about what days are the Weekend to find out about Bromo tickets. From my room the call to prayer was deafening and I woke up every single night to it blaring in my room - though for some this may be a positive.
The price was for a private room and I certainly didn't expect that, which was a nice surprise. They helped me sort a trip to Mount Bromo and they were kind throughout. Also Caramel sauce for breakfast.

As most of the other reviews have stated, very tiny bathroom. Was quite hard to shower but we only stayed one night so it didn't matter. Quite a lot of mosquitoes in the room. Breakfast was just bread, "jam" and honey. It's cheap but I've stayed in other places for the same price that were nicer.
Super friendly staff who arranged a good tour for us, although we were told there would be an English speaking guide but there was no guide.

The toilet didn’t look very clean, one off the stuff members didn’t let a girl and me have breakfast even though it was 10.50 am, there is not much to do in Probolinggo so I wouldn’t recommend to stay there more then a day to visit the Bromo
Unlimited breakfast between 6 and 11 am
