Wanaseta

Wanaseta is a newer hostel and guesthouse on Gang Wanaseta, a lane off Jl. Labuansait near Thomas Beach. It offers capsule-style dorm bunks, each with a curtain, light and storage, alongside larger private rooms, and is a good fit for solo travellers and surfers on a budget.

The pod bunks are built in warm timber with privacy curtains, and the shared bathrooms are modern. Private rooms are spacious, with big beds and good showers according to guests. Thomas Beach is a short walk away, and the cafés and restaurants at the southern end of the strip, as well as Padang Padang beach, are within a few minutes by scooter.

Wanaseta has a 4.4 rating on Google. Many guests praise the location, staff and new facilities, while a few have reported damp and mould in bathrooms, so check recent reviews and ask for a well-ventilated room. Book through the main hostel platforms or by phone or WhatsApp.
