First of all, the name of the place is "Checkers Backpacker" on Expedia, but the actual name is "Checkers Hostel". There is another location on Google map with the former name and the same hostel pictures. I ended up spending 1 hour reaching the actual place from the station. Be careful!!!!! Secondly, facility is old, but bed area is maintained clean to a decent level at this price. I had a good sleep as well. Bathroom is not clean but acceptable for this price. Finally, for service, not so good. The lady with hijab is not pleasant to talk with, but acceptable at this price. Overall, considering the price, it's acceptable to stay for short term. I wouldn't prefer to stay for long here. ##### Jay Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Yean Yih Apr 1, 2020 Liked: Staff & service #### Budget hotel Staffs are friendly but cleanliness need to be improved. ##### Yean Yih Stayed 14 nights in Mar 2020 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Verified traveller Oct 25, 2019 ##### Verified traveller Stayed 9 nights in Oct 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Oct 21, 2019 ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2019 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Verified traveller Sep 26, 2019 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2019 ### 6/10 Okay #### Lisa Aug 26, 2019 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness ##### Lisa Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2019 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Verified traveller Aug 18, 2019 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Aug 2019 ### 2/10 Terrible #### James, Bali Jul 30, 2019 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities It was dirty, unorganized, and crowded.

Shoes and slipper all over the place and full of bad smell. The bathroom is too small and again smelly. Sleeping in the overcrowded hostel is impossible due to the snoring of permanent guests and loud music from the bars and "massage" spa's in the neighborhood. The reception clerk useless. No daily cleaning and if you ask them to clean, they always said they dont clean and change the blanket daily.. Don't book here!!!!!!

Sleeping in the overcrowed dorms is impossible due to the snoring of permanent guests (probably workers??) and loud music from the bars and "massage" spa's in the neighborhood. The reception clerk has a very bad attitude towards his staff and guests that dare to ask for any service at all. O yeah...and skip the free breakfast...it's factory toast with jam. Don't book here!!
