“Fantastic hosts, friendly people, homey environment.”
I really enjoyed my stay at Casa Samay! The whole hostel feels very homey – the kind of comfort you get when staying with family or friends. With Miri around, the hostel experience feels seamless and easy, with great communication and plenty of activities ready to go. If you’re diving with Miri Adventures, you’re picked up and dropped off right from the hostel, so no taxis or marina trips. The location is great: convenience stores are close, and there are tasty food options a little away from the touristy waterfront so you won’t be overcharged – but you can still walk to the pier if you want. I stayed in the 4‑bed female dorm: the beds are quite comfortable and large for a hostel, the sheets are clean and soft, and the AC works well. A strong fan is available during the day in the room and lounge while the AC is off. I never had a cleanliness issue – the staff and other guests keep the place tidy. A cooler for cold water is also there. And the little tortie Catalina greets guests and is the cutest receptionist you could ask for 🥰. The shower water pressure was on the weaker side, but it’s fine enough (and probably more eco‑friendly). Sometimes there’s noise from the street or neighboring building, so bring earplugs if you’re sensitive; I needed them for one night of my four‑day stay.
