Reviews and Ratings
The hotel has a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms are very old-fashioned and show signs of wear and tear with damaged light switches and watermarks in some areas. On the bright side, the service is warm and friendly despite some language barriers. The location is excellent for exploring the city, but the dining options, although varied, may not meet expectations for traditional Indonesian cuisine.
