This budget hotel is excellent, both in terms of exterior and interior, and highly recommended for backpackers. The room I stayed in didn't have air conditioning or a fan, but it was more than enough because the cool air of Batu City was already in the room.
There's a shared bathroom with an LPG water heater, so the water is much hotter than an electric one. There's also a drying area for towels, and the Wi-Fi connection is quite fast. Another plus is the morning sunrise view from the outdoor balcony.
The parking area in the south can accommodate several cars, but the turning space is a bit difficult when there's a lot of traffic. Furthermore, the hotel's entrance and exit are only wide enough for one car, so passing other cars coming the other way is difficult.
Some suggestions and shortcomings in my opinion:
1. There are no doormats in the bedrooms; they are only provided in front of the bathroom door.
2. Guests should be reminded to remove their shoes when using the shared bathroom to prevent the doormat from getting dirty quickly. 3. The exterior windows should be given a privacy screen to prevent the outside from being visible when the curtains are opened.
4. The TV in the room currently only shows one channel and is not yet a smart TV.
Overall, this hotel is more than adequate at a very backpacker-friendly price. If I visit Batu City again, I will likely stay here again.
