Two floors of eight rooms all facing a courtyard with pools of fish and tropical palms, Malam 1001 offers a comfortable place to stay with a tranquil environment which seems a long way away from the bustling narrow streets with their streethawkers, food vendors, bacaks and scooters only minutes away.
The rooms range from standard twin to deluxe double with breakfast included, although somewhat limited. The rooms are large as are the beds, each room has a mural on the wall which adds to the ambience along with subdued lighting (no good if you're a bookworm though).
Outside each room, there's a small area with table and chairs looking out onto the courtyard.
The staff are all very friendly, helpful and polite, but beware when paying the bill as they pass on the cost of their advertising on booking websites to the customer, so maybe contact the hotel direct!
All in all, we had an extremely pleasant stay at what is ostensibly an upmarket backpackers, but for those on a tight budget maybe visit their sister hostel no door.
