There's a really nice hostel on the roof of the Helios hotel. Small bamboo huts with double beds, and a large barn with comfy four storey bunk beds. There's a great little cafe with some local and western food. I took one of the top bunks in the barn, it's quite a climb.
Malang is a big, busy city, but has a compact, town feel to it. It's pleasant to walk around and the people are extremely friendly and cool. I saw some fixed-wheel bikes - a sure sign of lurking hipsters! There's also a lot of coffee shops serving up some tasty hot (or iced) Java - these coffee shops are populated with buzzing students, heads buried deep in their Mac's. I only spent one night here though, planning my route down through Java, and into the Bromo national park.
