Lavalon Seaview Hostel & Cafe

Lavalon is the best place to stay in Kupang! Edwin is a great host who cooks really nice breakfasts. The vibe is very casual and comfortable. The sheets are cotton which is a huge plus for me and the room was clean. It is very simple so don't expect a lot, but it is comfortable, near to a nice little beach with a few food stands around the area, and a great night market to eat dinner at is within walking distance. The window in the room opens up for a beautiful view of the ocean. It is easy to rent scooters here as well as find a tour guide and book tours to the villages. Highly recommend this little spot by the ocean!

I was travelling solo and my stay at Lavalon was truly 5-star. Edwin is a warm and thoughtful host — he helped me from the moment I booked until I left, including arranging a ride to the port and making sure I had everything I needed. The breakfast pancake was delicious, the room was comfortable, and he gave me great tips about travelling in Indonesia. I highly recommend staying here!

Best place to stay in Kupang. Spacious rooms, light and airy. Aircon and fan. Strong WiFi. Hot water. On the beach and centrally located. Best part is the host Edwin. He is a treasure box of information about Indonesia as a whole but also places like East Timur and how to get there. He can organise trips and bike rentals, etc. his food is super delicious too!

Great, budget-friendly accommodation. Beautiful location next to the beach. Friendly owner who speaks fluent English. Best hot water shower in had in two weeks Indonesia!

I was in kupang only as transit, but ended up staying one more night and now i always transit im Kupang and stay at Lavalon! Such good price quality!! It feels amazing to wake up with the sound of the waves and a delicious pankake made by Edwin! Edwin is super nice, a great host and amazing cook - loved the squid and the fish, moringa soup, the heart of banana and the omelettes! He knows all the best deals and gives great advice on things to do in indonesia, he even helps booking for us! The room is cozy and clean with hot shower. I never had to turn on the air con, the fan is perfectly enough and you can feel the breeze from the sea.|Hope to come back more times for a calm stay with a nice beer and conversation! Terima kasih!

I spent 2 restful night at lavalon. Edwin, who speaks good English, was most welcoming and a mine of information. Comfortable bed and real hot shower, if you need it. Recommended.

Kupang is a wild and sometimes annoying city, so you need a safe haven for your peace at mind and heart. Lavalon provides all this. Nicely located with a view to the beach, you hear all night and day ocean waves (and only a few motorbikes). Edwin is a careing host, good breakfast cook and answers all your questions. Although Covid and natural desasters have hit Lavalon hard, it is a great place to start the tour around Timor. Best of luck for a full recovery, Lavalon!
