Cendana Mulia Hostel Bogor

Very friendly stuff. They offered a free cooking class we visited. Some boys are around all the time and are very helpfull. We had a double-bed room but there is also a dorm available. There is also a common room where we sat and were talking to other guests. The breakfest was phenomenal. That was the best nasi goreng I ate in four weeks in Indonesia. The furniture was simple but working. There´s just a common bathroom but it was ok. ||The taxi driver didn´t find it because its a very small street. You should write an email or call them before you go there. They also tell you how to make a good time in Bogor and Indonesia and give you some advices (like how much it costs to take an angkot). We stayed there at the beginning of our stay and we really enjoyed it.

The worst hostel I’ve ever stayed at. There’s a bunch of approximately 10 middle aged local guys lurking around the place all the time, it’s impossible to say if the live/work there or if they are long term guest or whatever. In the evenings they hold some kind of gatherings in the common room. My friend and I never felt that uncomfortable in any Hostel before. The beds are wrapped in some kind of plastic and if you’re unlucky you’ll and up in the top bunk just a few centimetres below the ac and freeze during the night. The cherry on top was a cockroach crawling over my friends foot in the bathroom. We booked for 2 nights but we left as soon as we could.

Me and my friend had a really good stay at this place. The breakfast is delicious, place in good condition, owner did our laundry and the staff was really helpful. Definitely recommended. Don't be scared to ask if you have questions or need help. It is also located rather central and easy to see the city from this point. We wanted to buy motorbikes in Bogor and the staff helped us talk to the sellers and even drove with us to the mechanic. Bogor Is a nice city and the garden is very beautiful. Thank you

I stayed here for 2 nights with my husband and 3-year-old son. We paid extra (still very cheap) for a private double room; this was a good size and comfortable. The environment in the hostel was relaxed and friendly: it felt like staying in someone's house. There was a little noise in the evening and early morning from guests and staff because our room was off the communal area, but that's only to be expected in this sort of hostel and the other guests were all very friendly and considerate. The shared bathrooms were relatively clean; the bedroom was spotless. My only criticism is that the staff sometimes smoked outside the back door and this made the communal area smell of smoke, which was disappointing when the hostel claims to be a smoking free house (important for us as we have a child).||||The location was convenient for exploring the area. The staff were friendly and the service was very good. If we go back to Bogor we'll definitely consider staying there again.

A very cheap hostel with a combination of a very very comfortable bed, well-managed area, super clean bathroom, strong internet connection, free hot water, free usage of well-functioning fridge, oven and toaster toaster, a very accommodation staff and owner, very clean floor, super secured locker is what Cendana Mulia Hostel is. I wish I could have stayed here for as long as I want because I just love everything in here and the service. The staffs are very kind, specially the owner of the hotel. I could really see that she is trying everything she can to keep the hostel tidy and organized and she makes sure that the guest wont have any problem or any discomfort during the stay in her hotel. Two thumbs up for this hostel. I couldn’t ask for more. Everything is Excellent!!

The hostel was really homely, the rooms were all very clean and it felt very safe. All the staff were super friendly and the home cooked nasi goreng for breakfast was delicious. It is a little out of the centre of town but there are lots of angkots which can drop you right outside, so it is really easy to get around anyway.

Brand new hostel, opened just by end of October 2015. Very clean rooms, house completly renovated. Good, quiet and safe location. Really nice private rooms and dorms, breakfast included, balcony and patio to chill. Owned by local family. 5 minutes to walk to shopping mall and supermarket. As it is new it has good potential and I can see travellers happy to stay here.

I stayed here during the rainy off season, and I had the hotel largely to myself (and maybe 2-3 other guests). The facilities were all clean and accessible, and the staff were great. They provided a motorbike to rent and recommendations of places to go, gave advice on my trip, and were very accommodating. The only downside is that this place is a little hard to find.
