Ideally set in the Tegalsari district of Surabaya, Mooi House By Ziri is situated 3.4 km from Sharp Bamboo Monument, 3.8 km from Submarine Monument and 4.2 km from Gubeng Train Station. With a terrace, the 2-star hostel has air-conditioned rooms with free WiFi, each with a private bathroom. The accommodation features room service, a 24-hour front desk and currency exchange for guests.

Everything. I like how chic the interior design and the branding of it, with some Turkish hint on it (blue tiles). The furnitures/fixtures are all high quality and well assembled, a quality is something you rarely get on this budget, yet Mooi House built to highest standard. I wonder who were the Architect / Interior Designer. The toilet has spray and bidet. The sink is deep and wide again another quality fixture. The bedlinen, despite not on its best white shade, but it's the highest quality cotton, the manchester and its cover too has very dense thread counts, it even has special design to cover the bottom side of the spring bed. The spring bed is of the high end, very plush. This place exceeded my expectations. I can say, Mooi House by ZIRI is the haute couture, a secret gem in Surabaya City.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Great location, nice hotel. Big food court for breakfast and dinner. Also coffee and juice bar and a supermarket on the lowest floor next to parking lot. Staff was very nice, we got a free upgrade to a room with windows so we could enjoy the view over the city. Rooms spacious and clean. Also, try the spa. The pitjit (massage) was amazing.

    This hotel a little bit down graded. Have to do their job to renovation Although its cheap, but cleanness is a must. Hope this hotel could still manage to serve better in the future.

    It is what it is, a simple hostel close to the railway station. For a hostel it is fine. We stayed for a few hours to get some rest before starting to Mount Bromo.
