Okay, let's start. I initially chose this hotel because it scored 5 out of 68 reviewers. When we arrived, it turned out the location was a bit different from this map. It's actually northeast of the Intiland complex, but you can also enter from the south. It seems like it's under construction. It was a bit confusing to enter the hotel, so you had to ask the security guard first (it wasn't very ergonomic and informative). It's not fully operational yet, so there are very few staff, so don't expect high responsiveness. And the swimming pool isn't ready yet (I regret bringing my swimsuit from home).
The room was okay. But the amenities were minimal. Unfortunately, there was no carpet or wooden floor paper on the floor. The AC was okay, the WiFi was okay, although sometimes it didn't work, and the hot water was also okay. Unfortunately, the duvet and sheets hadn't been replaced by the previous guest, so it was a bit itchy. The TV was okay because it was a smart TV, but unfortunately, there was no account login, so you had to log in individually. The view is okay. Unfortunately, the toilet only has an eco washer, not a jet shower.
Breakfast... unfortunately, there's no chicken porridge, even though Buryat is the face of breakfast. Everything is standard and there's not much variety. Nothing is particularly tasty. The gado-gado seasoning lacks flavor. The ote-tee seems raw inside, so it melts completely. The waffle is very flat and tasteless. The dining area is spacious.
The staff are friendly.
The location is in the heart of Surabaya, still close to my old school, SMA 6 and SMP 1 Surabaya.
The second night, I booked a premiere double room, and was upgraded to a junior suite (thanks, yeah.....) but there's still a problem: the bathroom drainage is so slow that the water overflows outside the shower room, especially since the floor is level. And even though there are two ACs, because the glass area is so large, it doesn't get cold enough to shiver even with three fans on and the temperature at 10 degrees.
