MMUGM

Review of our hostel (Wisma MMUGM)

Website: housing.mmugm.ac.id

The Good:

- Close proximity to amenities (Galleria Mall, numerous warungs)
- Almost like a 3 star hotel
- 24 hour security
- English and helpful speaking staff
- Air conditioner, fridge and multiple power points within the room


The Bad

- Comparatively more expensive than surrounding hostels
- Expensive breakfast (22,000 Rp/morning) and laundry 
- Poor room view (ask Puteri on this)
- Inflexibility of deposit withdrawal
- Weird mattress size (bukan Super Single atau Queen)
- Internet access only available in the main lobby

Welcoming view each and every time



Looks like a hotel lobby ... does it not ?

Verdict: 

If money is not of a major consideration for long term stay, Wisma MMUGM is a good but not
excellent choice. Withstanding the additional stuff ( laundry and food), one can get by comfortably with the facilities provided.

Rating: 3.5/5

Quote of the day:
"Everything within the hostel is expensive"
