Location: Located in Bandung's Old Town area, and the front side of the hotel even retains its original classic architecture. Surrounded by lush, leafy trees, it is comfortable and not excessively hot. While there are street food stalls nearby, many of them close during the evening.
Service & Facilities: WiFi from the room connected but not stable; sometimes I can connect to video streaming service, but most of the time failed. Parking area too narrow, dark and dirty. There are two elevators but only one is working. Good thing the hall to the room is clean and neat.
Room comfort: The room is very spacious for the price paid, but it clearly shows its age. The desk/vanity drawer couldn't close fully. The distance between the TV and the bed is quite far—good for walking around, but because the TV screen is quite small, watching it was uncomfortable. The TV channel selection is very limited, with nothing interesting to watch.
The sofa bed was dirty, thin, and visibly torn in a few places.
The bathroom is tight, and the sink tap is loose. The toilet didn't flush properly at first; engineering did a quick fix after I complained, but it took them forever to come up.
The AC is noisy both on and off, with no real change in room temperature. Lastly, the main door doesn't open fully without dragging against the floor.
Cleanliness: I requested a non-smoking room, but it smelled heavily of smoke upon arrival. The room was extremely dim, and the bed sheets had visible stains in several spots upon closer inspection.
Breakfast: I arrived at 6 AM—usual breakfast time for most hotels—but no food was out yet. The cleaning staff mentioned it starts at 6 and was still being set up. Dishes came out one by one, but as I was already annoyed, I barely ate. The taste was pretty average and nothing special. When checking out, they asked me how breakfast went. I answered 'bad, there was no food available at 6 AM.' The front desk told me that breakfast actually starts at 7 AM. So I replied, 'Why didn't anyone tell me that when I checked in?'
Overall, my experience was unsatisfactory. Luckily, I only stopped by for one night for an errand, rather than a staycation or holiday.
