Ngampilan Backpacker Hostel

We enjoyed being in an area with the locals and not surrounded by the tourists. The couple who own the property were very helpful. Excellent recommendations for local food to try! We were grateful for the Gudeg recommendation! Very welcoming and friendly. Great vale for money.

There were a few questions about the local sites that they couldn’t answer which I was surprised about. I passed on all the information I found out though so that should be solved now. Expect family home clean not hotel clean. We didn’t mind at all but just an fyi.

The husband and wife who own this hostel have helped me a lot since the first day I arrived. We often chatted about the places I should see in the city and they gave me good recommendations. Owner Yos helped me a lot to rent a motorbike and even took me to places that provide motorbike rental services with his own motorbike. Yos is a very good man. The hostel was very clean, you can use the kitchen, the internet is good and there are many places to eat locally and markets in the area. There is also a seating area in the garden and beautiful fish you can watch :)

A lovely family run hostel! The hosts were very welcoming and got us settled in quickly. They were very happy to help with suggestions for places to visit and restaurants to eat at. They also have a basic kitchen set up for you to use if you wish, with 2 gas stoves, fridge, toaster, and utensils. Facilities are basic and clean, but the beds are comfortable, and it is perfect for a couple of nights stay to explore Yogy.

This is no fault of the hosts, but the tour to Borobudur and Prambanagan on their information sheet did not go well for us. Poorly organised, a lot of waiting around and ridicously overpriced if you have been to other temples in asia. We paid for the full experience but only got half.

I really liked it. The hosts are nice and remember your name. When you want to be in a less crowded are and want to sleep without traffic noise I recommend going to Ngampilan. Wenn und chill outside in the evening you can hear the frogs. The rooms are quite small but so there are only 3 people inside.

We were very well received. The hostes were very helpful and friendly. The hostel is well placed with everything around and a really quite street, which is hard to find. There's a kitchen where we could cook, which is nice in case that you gonna go for a sunrise ride by yourself, and everything is closed. The room was very comfortable and perfect for 2 people.

Friendly host. Quiet location in a side street. The host can give you lots of information about the area. The spacious beds in the room.

Shower cabin flooded the toilet as well. A lot of hair was on the floor. A window right above the bed lets in a lot of light. Recommend to put a curtain there.

Hospitality and attention are priceless. Simple but cozy facilities. Everything is clean and orderly. Yos, the owner, is extremely helpful and an exceptional human being. Helped arrange a cheap motorbike rental and was always helpful to welcome me.

Everything good.

Such lovely and kind hosts, they were so helpful with recommendations, and even took me to the pharmacy when I was sick. The bedrooms are very comfortable and the entire hostel feels very homely with a lovely outside area. A very good location and affordable! I would definitely recommend if you're looking to stay with great Jogja locals and are on a budget.

beautiful garden where you can sit and relax. clean facilities with everything you need.

the area is a bit quite. you have to walk a bit or take the scooter to the center.

Friendly host, clean and comfortable hostel that is located right in the middle of the artistic city. A good place for those who like to visit ArtJog and explore the neighborhood of the Ngampilan.
