In the morning I was in a bad mood when I wanted to have breakfast at the hotel restaurant. The room was stuffy and full of smoke because many people smoked in the restaurant area, even though the room was closed and air-conditioned. When I confirmed with the hotel employees, it turned out that smoking was indeed allowed in the restaurant 🤦‍♂️, that's ridiculous for a star hotel with rates of this class.The corridor also smelled of cigarettes, even though we had ordered a no-smoking room. Not all of the lifts are working and maintenance is ongoing, so it takes a long time to wait for the lift.

Avara Hotel, the parking space available is quite large so you don't need to be afraid of not being able to park, the hotel is very strategic because it is not far from places to eatThe interior is nice with a simple and minimalist style, for me the hotel rooms are not very bright or maybe the concept is like that, and I think because it can be said that the hotel is old enough for its class, if you want something more modern you can try the Gajah Mada Hotel which is indeed one management.I thought there was a gym in the facilities provided, but it's just not available... so you need to go to the hotel next door to be able to use the gym, but it can be replaced by good service! The rest is ok too.For breakfast, it's suitable for me, it tastes good, there are quite a lot of variations, but it can't be said to be very good, but it comes back to each individual!
