On our way to Cemoro Lawang, and it was already quite dark, we saw this hotel from the road, which looked nice, especially the lights. So, from Cemoro Lawang, we decided to stay there, even though it was a long 25-minute drive and we had to return to Cemoro Lawang by jeep at 2 AM to watch the sunrise.
Since we had booked via the app, we still made the 25-minute drive. Checking in revealed an old hotel, and the walk to our room was quite a long walk up a wooden staircase, some of which were rotten and not very clean.
We were even more surprised when we entered the room; the beauty in the photo was completely different; it was probably from more than 10 years ago. The bathroom, especially, looked shabby, typical of an old-school hotel in need of a major overhaul. Plus, the hot water was inconsistent. While we were showering, it suddenly turned cold. Oh my.
The terrace in the room was also neglected; once again, this hotel needs a major overhaul. The only thing that is interesting is the friendliness of the staff and FO.
