Amazing hostel, very spacious with many different hangout areas. Staff friendly and helpful. Room was everything that I needed, basic and small but cleverly designed so that you have space to put things, great night light too. Many thanks and I highly recommend.

A very nice, clean and quiet hostel with hot showers, cooking facilities, 24h reception and a great rooftop area. The hostel café is very good too, it’s possible to get breakfast all day and just down the street is an excellent warung with plenty of vegetarian options (which is rare). All in all I would wholeheartedly recommend it to everyone!

Très bien, rien à redire, seul chose un peu étrange la grosse blatte dans la chambre, mais sincèrement à part cela tout est bon. Le thé et le café dispo 24H24 c'est franchement pratique. La gare n'est pas loin, il y a plein de vie dans le quartier, une mosquée une paroisse catholique, des églises protestantes, des temples bouddhistes...

J'ai eu le bonheur de trouver une énorme blatte dans la chambre, mais d'un côté on est chez elle. Rien de plus.

A truly enriching experience

Had a lovely stay in the Packer Lodge for one night in a single room - very spacious, clean and comfy. The service was great - the staff helped me book Grabs, let me keep my big bag over the day and had good tips on how to get around Jakarta. It's a great place to get to know local people and I instantly was adopted into the family, taken round the city and invited to hang out. Thanks so much for the happy atmosphere :-)
