                For those who are traveling for RWMF, this hostel is the best choice. Just the opposite The Hills mall and you can get a private bathroom at a cheap price. I’m not a heavy sleeper yet I can still sleep despite night pub downstairs. The lady is really helpful and sweet too. Best hostel ever.

                The room is a bit noisy because of the pubs downstairs but we did not had any problem with it. Regina is awesome and great staff. A very helpful and cheerful lady. Thank you so much for everything, Regina. Would be back to this place again.

                The stairs to the entrance is dark and not recommend for female travellers. The room is ok. Maybe the owner can put 1 electric kettle for each room as I can not make drinks at night. Someone else take my hot water.

                This is NO FRILL HOTEL. Self check in, They left your room key outside(they put inside a post box together with the guide to the room). You have to find your own key and your room. Just okay for solo traveler. If you are travel with kids, i don't think this hotel suitable for you.

                Excellent location!”

                I enjoyed my stay in Kuching so much I ended up staying 16 days at Hero Hostel. There are only a few private rooms, plus a dorm that you must rent out entirely (so that may be good for groups). The rate for the private room ($10 USD when I booked) is on par with the rate for private rooms in other hostels, but seems like a much better value, considering the quality of the room (compared to what I saw of other people's single rooms in some Chinatown hostels). The location is great since it straddles the hill between Chinatown and Jalan Padungan, the two parts of town where most of the tourist action happens. It's also just two blocks to the center of the waterfront (where the Hilton is located). And I can't say enough good things about the staff. Regina was always very helpful, even walking me toward the nearest 24-hour laundromat when I asked for directions! Lionel, the owner, responded very quickly to any questions I had via email, and his brother will even drive you to the airport for a competitive rate. The only downside is that the common area is almost non-existant--it's just a couch in the non-air conditioned hallway, so it's not a great place to meet people. But there are plenty of backpackers traveling through Kuching, and the couch surfing community there is lively enough that there are plenty of other avenues to meet people.

                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!

                If you are fit, this is the best hostel.”

                You can't get away from the fact that this great little place is up 3 flights of stairs. But if that is fine with you then you really should try Hero Hostel. The rooms are spotless, the bathrooms likewise and the little lady that will look after you is just lovely. She knows everything about Kuching and will save you so much time and hassle. Facilities are basic but if you just want somewhere to sleep then this is perfect and cheap too. Great restaurants right next door. Be sure to ask for a back room though. There is a fun pub downstairs but it can get a bit noisy late at night.

The hostel is clean and comfortable. The staff are friendly and helpful. I will stay here again if I returned to Kuching.

                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.

                The staff lady was amazing! She was the friendliest person we met during our travels and made our stay 11/10. The room at hero hostel was simple but clean and functional. We also stayed at the noisy room downstairs owned by the same person and it wasn't even noisy. They even gave us earplugs (though we didn't need them) the location was great close to everything. But for us the highlight was the little lady. Please stay here
