The receptionist who is originally from Pati/Tegal, I forgot, can speak Javanese, is kind and helpful. He was willing to leave things for us when we went to Pasar Baru.
The downside:
The photo and the original are different. This hotel is not on the side of the road near the river but behind it, a straight road then into small alleys and the road is muddy. Imagine having to walk carrying bags and suitcases.
The hotel is small and cannot accommodate vehicles.
When I wanted to check in, it took a long time, even though I had booked but when I checked it wasn't there (either it was closed or what about my booking because it was outside of predictions, it should have arrived at dawn but I arrived at 10.30). I deliberately booked here just to transit for a few hours. Finally I was able to enter the room after waiting a few minutes.
The room was stuffy and dirty with dust, the mattress and sheets were dirty, the bathroom was also not maintained. The AC also has to be asked by the guy in front to turn it on because the remote is in front, not in the room 😭
This hotel used to be connected to the one in front. But the information is that due to one reason or another, the connecting road was closed so you have to go through the back and go around a small alley.
The point is, if it's just for transit, it's not a problem, but if you're staying overnight, just skip it.
