Bandung's Best Hostels for Backpackers

Jump to:
Bandung, capital of Indonesia's West Java province, is a large city set amid volcanoes and tea plantations. It's known for colonial and art deco architecture, a lively, university-town feel and - thanks to its elevation - relatively cool tropical weather. Bandung is also a shopping destination, with fashion outlets clustered along Jalan Setiabudi and Jalan Riau in the Dago district. You'll find teeming markets and good shopping, thriving cafes in reclaimed Dutch relics, palpable warmth and camaraderie on street corners. Bandung has everything, except nature, but the city does make a good base for daytrips to the surrounding countryside - high volcanic peaks, hot springs and tea plantations are all within reach. Bandung has three distinct districts that interest visitors. The Jl Braga area offers a strip of cafes and restaurants and is surrounded by markets and museums. The Jl Cihampelas district, or so-called Jeans Street area, offers discount retail and plenty of nibbles and hotels too, but the leafier north part of town is the most upmarket with the city's newest and trendiest restaurants dotting Jl Tirtayasa and Jl Trunojoyo. There is no shortage of things to see and do in this city, and, luckily, there are also several cost friendly accommodations to help you enjoy your stay here too.
