After much checking and inquiry made, our group decided to stay at Apple Backpackers for the trip for 7 days. The management of the this place is quick to send responses as we ask for a quoted price for the period of stay and even give a free stay on the 7th day.
The place. The place is well kept though the hallways
were small. Those tasked in the receptions were friendly and approachable.
Though some were not fluent in English, they still tried to assist you with the
easiest means in travelling from point A to B. The place also has common room
for cooking and dining with fridge. They also offer free coffee and tea.

Another good thing here, there are lots of leaflets and
guides in various language that is very useful going around the city
particularly those with subway guide. There were even magazines/handouts with
discounts for amenities and theater shows.

As for location, it is walking distance from the highway
and subway at Jongo-3. Food is not a problem since there are lots of restaurant,
coffee shop and convenient store within the area plus a cinema a few blocks
away.

The room. The
room we stayed in is good for 4 people and with private bath room and television
(that we even bothered to turn on). It is spacious that we can even keep the
luggage bags inside. The beds, a double bed and a double deck, are comfy though
the pillow is quite hard. They provided a side table and a bigger one for other
stuff and writing. They also provided a hair dryer. The bathroom is also big
and clean.
Though there were few problems I’ve noticed. For the
bathroom, it takes sometime before the water turns hot so patience is needed if
warm bath is needed. Another is the sockets in the room were round instead of
the normal flat. Good thing is that they provide adaptor for this. And since
the room is private we have to ask the receptionist each morning for cleaning
as they don’t enter such room for privacy’s sake. In line with this, you need
to bring the used towel at the bin near the reception and get a fresh one at
the stand along with the soaps.
Overall, I recommend this Apple Backpackers. It is a
good place to stay for those in budget and convenience. Another tip, the
place is near the drop off/pick up point for airport limousine bus.
