Rating: ⭐ 3/5
I stayed at Hotel SWK 95, booking a standard room for Rp 175,000/night. The hotel has three floors, an elevator and stairs, and ample parking—all of which are plus points.
Check-in begins at 3:00 PM, a bit later than other hotels and meant a long wait. Check-out also had to wait about 10 minutes as the room was checked first.
My room, on the second floor, near the laundry room, was unfortunately less comfortable. The sheets were a bit dark, the blanket had holes in it, and outside noise was quite audible due to the poor soundproofing. There was no water heater, and only one electrical outlet, making it a hassle if you bring more than one device. The lock is manual, not card-accessible. The only amenities in the room were two towels and two bottles of water; refills are available on the first floor near the prayer room. There were no toothbrushes, sandals, or other amenities—which I found to be acceptable considering the price.
This hotel has a total smoking ban, and violations can result in a fine of up to IDR 500,000, so smokers should be aware.
Unfortunately, during my stay, the hotel was undergoing painting, and some of my belongings, such as sandals, clothes, and car tires, were splashed with paint—a real shame. The room also smelled quite unpleasant, to the point where I had to buy my own air freshener.
The receptionist was quite responsive and friendly, but the cleanliness of the rooms and hallways needs improvement, especially the beds.
Conclusion: This hotel is still suitable for backpackers or those just stopping by for a short time. However, for a family or extended stay, I personally wouldn't recommend it. Improvements in comfort and cleanliness are needed.
