Bamba Capsule Hotel in Review

Bamba Capsule Hotel is a 5 Star Hostel in Kuta Lombok, Indonesia because…

1. Doors Open for All

Remember when we said Bamba Capsule Hotel is socially driven? Well, the doors aren’t just open for travellers, but locals too.

Yet that doesn’t mean that you’re going to find a stranger in your bedroom!

It’s the on-site restaurant and bar which is open for the public to enjoy, alongside hungry travellers.

We think this is a wonderful way to support the local economy, and merge the backpacker and local worlds together perfectly. Share a beer with a local and who knows what you might learn.

The restaurant is vegetarian-Asian and offers up the best food and drink from the region.

They try their best to locally source their produce as much as possible, reducing their carbon footprint alongside serving up the best taste possible.

2. Hotel meets Hostel Design

There’s a good reason why the word hotel appears in this hostel’s name.

Aside from sharing a room, you’ll be treated to luxurious hotel-like hospitality, amenities and cleanliness.

And even when you retire to your shared dorm, you’ll have your very own pod bed to climb into and hide away in.

It’s a clever design, where modern and boutique feels meet the social and laid-back atmosphere of a hostel. It’s certainly a hotel design at hostel prices. Wonderful.

Also, there’s tons of space to spread out in.

Out in the garden there is plenty of shaded seating, sun bathing spots (grab a beanbag on the grass) and of course, the swimming pool!

Otherwise, you can chillax in the rooftop bar or enjoy some air conditioning in your room.

3. Double or Single Pod bed, your choice

Alright, so let’s have a look at what makes Bamba Capsule Hotel unique.

Without doubt, it has to be the pod beds on offer.

Quickly; the room choices include a 10-bed mixed dorm, a 6-bed double-pod dorm and a 10-bed female-only dorm.

Yes you read that right: a 10-bed DOUBLE-POD dorm! This is such a cool idea for couples that wish to save money by choosing a shared room – privacy included.

Each pod bed comes with…

  • USB & universal wall plugs
  • Overhead light
  • Privacy curtain
  • Under bed storage space
  • Ready-made bed

The capsule bunks are super sturdy with a robust ladder for reaching the top bed. There will be no rocking and creaking at this hostel.

Note: There is also a deluxe double private room if you don’t fancy sharing.
