Clean, central & easy to access to everywhere”
Located at top floor. Not suggest for those have big luggage. Restaurant near by, walking distance to waterfront, 24 hours coffee shop downstairs, pub. Near UTC, the famous seafood stall near by. Basic facilities as what we paid for. Is more secure and convenient if hero hotel can install digital door lock at main entrance.

good hostel”
the reception Lady Regina was so lovely and helpful. She is like an Angel, Granni and Housekeeper all in one.
She was showing me the bus station to bako nationalpark and gaves me so many tips about kuching.
Hostel was clean and the own bathroom was nice. Hot water and AC was good too.
Room was a little bit smelly but that's why I had the AC on the whole day, than it was fine.
The concept of the Hostel is brilliant, never saw anything like this before.
Ok during nighttime it was noisy but she let me know before and I read it here.
I had earplugs with me.

4.5/5”
The location is very strategic, walking distance to any local attractions. However, it was next to a club so the music wont stop from night to dawn. The room with private toilet is very clean, they even have hot shower and it’s working nicely. Although, there is no window but air conditioning is in good condition so you wont feel hot at all. Regina, the housekeeper is very friendly to explain abt the places we should visit. Just need to improve the common area facilities, we tried to use the water heater to eat some noodle cup at late night but it’s not cleaned and the heater looks like it was abandoned for I am not sure how long.Overall, I give 4.5/5. It was a pleasant stay.

Very friendly host. Bathrooms thoroughly get cleaned every morning. Room is spacious, beds are good. Left our luggage there when we went on an overnight trip to Bako.
If you're a bad sleeper, make sure to bring earplugs. The walls are made of paper and the music from downstairs can get really loud! Begins at 10pm and stops at 3am.

Nice Hostel.”
Enjoyed our stay, the host was so kind going out of her way to walk us over to a less known bus stop for the national park. She really cares about your experience.
Can be a little loud at night but was okay for us, it's good value and is above a 24 hour restaurant. Which is convenient.

The reception lady was lovely and so helpful in showing us the bus stop to Bako National Park and telling us about other things happening in Kuching.
The hostel was clean and bathroom was fine. Quirky decorations as each room is decorated like a superhero.
It was nosiy as others have stated and the reception lady also let us know that we were to expect noise.

The manager was extremely helpful and friendly. She helped plan all of my trips and showed me where to get on the buses. I liked the rooms and the hero themes. Because it's part of a building complex it does feel a bit like you are staying in an apartment. The nearby topspot food court is a great place to get seafood and the place downstairs has great rotis. The only issue is that it is a bit loud at night. Other wise for this price range it's a great place.

cosy and quiet room for a couple with a nice AC.

would be nice if it had a fridge. there isnt much of a social or communal area if thats what you are looking for.

Excellent hostel”
Hero Hostel is located close to the waterfront in Kuching, just a few minutes walk down the road. The rooms are small and basic but comfortable and clean. The superhero theme is amazingly well done, every wall and corner is plastered with comics, pictures, movie posters, scenes, etc. The amount of care that went into the design is amazing! Judging by the looks alone this hostel is a highlight of our Asian tour (which, after six months and well over 60 different accommodations should tell you something)! The receptionist lady is also amazingly helpful, she was every bit as lovely as the place itself. Highly recommended!
