About

Hostel Penak Malioboro is a mixed bag. Guests love the spot-on location near Malioboro and the cozy rooftop vibe, but the place is plagued by serious maintenance issues. Many report dirty rooms, smelly bathrooms, and rude staff. It is cheap, but you get what you pay for. Definitely not a place for those seeking comfort or privacy.
