Masya Allah.. I didn't deliberately search for the Sarangan area.. Eh, this hotel is still there. If I'm not mistaken, it used to be called Vila Arika (If I'm not mistaken, it was 23 or 24 years ago).. I went there when there was a group of family gaters at my father's office. Oh my God... So I'll let go of my longing... if I go to Nest again... I want to stay here, God willing. When I used to stay here, the place was comfortable... I also made tea and the view was delicious... I missed it.

Stay in Villa E, on the 3rd floor. There are 2 rooms and 1 TV room at a price of 600,000 (can sleep 4 people)The villa is clean, neat and smells good. Hot water is on 24 hours. There is a hot and cold water dispenser, along with lots of tea, coffee and glasses. There is Android TV but if you want to watch Netflix you have to log in to your own account. The mattress is soft, the blanket is also very warm and sleeps soundly in the cold Sarangan area. The road to the lake is not far, it takes 5 minutes to arrive.

The room is clean, but the parking space is narrow, you can't park in front if you go out, the reason is that the people in the parking lot have gone home, so you don't go anywhere all night, just at the Sarangan lake.

If you want to book, you get tricked. And contacting the owner, there was no solution and he threw up his hands

First impression, swift service, you can ask the guard to park your vehicle in the garage, because access is narrow and uphill to the hotel.The location is close to Lake Sarangan, just walk less than 50 meters or less.The rooms are clean and comfortable, the water heater is on continuously.You don't need to use the AC and you don't need to use a fan, the air is already cold at night.Due to high season, I got a room/villa on the 3rd floor, tired of climbing the stairs, but satisfied with the room and view.Got 1 villa on the top floor which consists of 2 bedrooms + ensuite bathroom and living room. This hotel is a bit unique because most of the rentals are per villa consisting of 2 rooms or you can also rent per room. Just adjust it.For the price of the villa (forgot the name) on the 3rd floor, if I'm not mistaken, in February 2024, around 600 thousand for the Chinese New Year, you will get the facilities I mentioned above. For me it's worth it.It's only possible that you need to pay attention to the inadequate parking area, especially those using elf and the like who have to park in a separate place because the road to the hotel is usually full of parked cars, maybe this is a problem for most of the accommodation in Sarangan, namely PARKiR.Then there was a slight problem with the WiFi not connecting, but we didn't have a problem because we didn't really use it, so we didn't contact the hotel staff regarding this.Cleanliness and prompt service can be maintained.

Take a room which consists of 1 living room, 2 bedrooms each with an en suite bathroom, and a terrace. Room position on floor 2.5 (between floor 2 and floor 3). The front view of the room is the front wall of the hotel, but there is still a section to see the view of Sarangan Lake. If it rains, you can still sit on the terrace enjoying the view. The building is well maintained, clean, neat in terms of floors, walls, ceilings and furniture. The front terrace of the room is also clean. The bathroom was generally clean, there was only a little crust, and I only found out on the second day that one of the water sprinkler closets wasn't working. At that time, I hadn't reported it to the staff until I checked out, so I didn't know how the repair would respond, but the toilet in the other bathroom was safe and functioning well. There is a shower and hot water tap which is very functional, this is important because the water temperature there is very cold. When you first entered the room, the sheets smelled good and had no stains. In total there are 4 single beds, each of which can sleep 1-2 people. Each bed has 1 thick blanket, 2 pillows and 1 bolster. The TV also functions to watch local TV broadcasts. Some of the TV remote buttons didn't work, so we used the buttons on the TV directly. There is a hot and cold water dispenser, functioning well. There is no breakfast, but you can get gallons of water in a dispenser that has a hot water setting, there is also sugar, tea and coffee. Lastly, the car garage is positioned at the top, make sure the car and driver can climb uphill. Will stay here again if I go to Sarangan again, thank you very much.

The hotel rooms are comfortable, clean, and the warm water is always active, because that is what every visitor to Sarangan Lake wants most. It's just that, I gave a rating of 4 because, like towels, there was no toothbrush/toothpaste. the room is narrow and costs 3**K. but still comfortable.and the location is very close to the lake. So, you don't get tired of walking.
