We stayed at Sendang Sari Batang at the end of our trip around Central Java before continuing to our final destination. We considered trying another hotel, but didn't want to take any risks. We decided to stay here. This is our second stay here.
The location is in the center of Batang, walking distance to the town square and the busy center.
Check-in was easy and didn't take long, as we had contacted them via WhatsApp beforehand and received a fairly good response. Upon check-in, we were asked to leave our ID cards and a IDR 100,000 deposit.
We booked two deluxe rooms and were escorted by the staff. They were very friendly. The deluxe rooms have access to parking in front of the rooms and a spacious terrace. The standard rooms are not particularly spacious with an old interior, but they are still quite clean. They have twin beds, a bedside table, and cool air conditioning, which is enough to ward off the extreme heat in Batang. Facilities include a TV with plenty of international channels, two bottles of Cleo, a 2-in-1 soap dispenser, a toothbrush, and a telephone. For me, as a transit person, this was sufficient.
There's a really big swimming pool, and it looks like this is a water park often visited by locals.
Thank you, Sendang Sari. We'll definitely stay here on our next visit to Batang. Thank you for the hospitality.
