Overview of GH Universal Hotel
GH Universal Hotel sits on Jalan Setiabudi in the Setiabudi area of north Bandung, at No. 376 on the long road that climbs from the city towards the cooler uplands of Lembang. What sets it apart from the modern towers further south is its look: the hotel describes itself as built around the shape and "nuances of European nobility", and Traveloka's listing tags it under Classic Design. Behind the facade are five floors and 105 rooms, a 5-star rating on Traveloka, an outdoor pool, a spa, landscaped gardens and a rooftop outlet on the fifth floor with wide views across the city.
According to Traveloka's property data, the building dates from 2009 and was last renovated in 2011. Long-time visitors may also remember it written as G.H. Universal Hotel; the listing notes that this was the property's previous name, so older reviews, maps and travel articles that use the dotted spelling refer to the same hotel on Jalan Setiabudi.
The property leans into celebrations and gatherings as much as leisure stays. Its own website lists named event spaces such as the Secret Garden, the Courtyard of The Royal and the Crystal Dining Chamber, and the Traveloka listing confirms banquet facilities, a reception hall, meeting rooms and a wedding service. At the same time, Traveloka flags it as recommended for families with children, thanks to a children's pool and a children's play area.
Room Types at GH Universal Hotel
The official website lists nine categories, from three standard room types up to six suites. Sizes and views below are as published by the hotel; exact bedding for a given booking, and the categories offered on any date, are shown on the Traveloka room selector. The hotel also notes that some amenities may not be available in every room.
Superior Room
The entry-level category at GH Universal Hotel measures around 26 square metres and is offered with either a king bed or twin single beds. The hotel describes pool and garden views for this room type. Listed in-room features include a 32-inch LED television, a laptop-size safe, a minibar, air conditioning, a hairdryer and a bathroom with a shower.
Deluxe King
A clear step up in space, the Deluxe King is listed at 45 square metres excluding the balcony, with a king-size bed, a comfort sofa and a private balcony. The hotel mentions pool, garden and city views for this category, along with the same core amenities as the Superior Room.
Deluxe Double Queen
At 66 square metres excluding the balcony, this is the largest of the non-suite rooms. The hotel describes it as having twin beds together with a queen-size bed, plus a sofa and a private balcony, so it suits small families or friends sharing who want more floor space than a standard twin room offers.
Princess Suite and Honeymoon Suite
The two smaller suites are aimed at couples. The Princess Suite is listed at 45 square metres with a king-size bed, a 42-inch television, a private balcony and views over the Courtyard of The Royal pool.
