Hotels and Accommodation in Bandung

About Bandung accommodation

Bandung is where West Java cools down — a highland city ringed by volcanoes, art deco buildings and café-lined streets. It’s a weekend escape for many Jakarta locals, known for outlet shopping, street food, and mornings that start with mountain mist and strong coffee.

You’ll find all kinds of stays here. Mid-century hotels in the old town. Villas tucked near tea plantations. Family-friendly spots close to malls and markets. Whether you're here to climb craters, shop the sales or just enjoy the slower air, Bandung makes it easy, affordable, relaxed, and full of small surprises.

Where to stay in Bandung

• Dago: A cooler, greener pocket up the hill, Dago blends cafés, indie shops and views over the valley. Good for café hoppers and weekenders chasing Bandung’s creative side. 
• Braga: The old town with art deco bones, local galleries and streets made for wandering. Stay here for heritage charm, strong coffee, and everything on foot.
• Lembang: Just out of town, Lembang does villas, flower farms and morning fog. It’s a family favourite, with theme parks, fresh air and weekend traffic to match.
• Cihampelas: Busy and budget-friendly, Cihampelas is built for shoppers. You’ll find outlet malls, street snacks, and hotels that keep things simple and central. 
• Setiabudi: Upmarket Setiabudi has big-name hotels, restaurants and malls, plus quick access to Lembang. Handy if you want a mix of city and hills.

Tips for finding the perfect accommodation in Bandung

• Watch your weekend timing: Bandung is a favourite escape from Jakarta, so hotel prices and traffic peak Friday to Sunday. Book early if you're travelling on weekends or public holidays.
• Use filters with purpose: After a hillside view? Need parking or breakfast included? Traveloka’s filters make it easy to narrow by vibe, location and budget, which is especially helpful in spread-out areas like Lembang.
• Stay near what you’re here for: Outlet shopper? Base near Cihampelas or Riau Street. After green space and café culture? Dago or Setiabudi will suit you better.
• Go midweek for better deals: Many hotels offer weekday promotions or extras like free breakfast or late checkout, particularly in shoulder seasons or outside school holidays.
• Check for little bonuses: Bandung hotels often sweeten the deal with perks like rooftop cafés, welcome drinks, or hot tubs with a view. A quick look at recent reviews can tip you off.
