The interior of the hotel is classic and what is interesting is the view directly onto the Simpang Lima square. For varied foods, there are traditional foods.

Strategic location, it's just that the hotel is old school and is a bit "shabby"... when I'm in the corridor on the floor, the carpet, walls, interior and atmosphere make me feel like I've been thrown out of a time machine.The toilets also need rejuvenation

WARNING COCKROACHES!!!BEWARE OF COCKROACHES!!!I was initially assigned a room on the 5th floor. Infested with cockroaches! Behind the baseboards, under the bed, under the furniture, in the bathtub, in the trash can.... The service agent who came to try to resolve the problem immediately threw in the towel at the scale of the thing. You could tell from his attitude that he was used to these dirty creatures.I was moved to the 8th room. No cockroaches this time.The whole hotel is extremely dated. The furniture, the paintings, the lighting, everything is old and very poorly maintained. When it's not broken. There hasn't been a single investment in this hotel for years, the owners are just making money and pulling on the rope until it breaks... It even seems like the employees are sweating despair and sadness to work in such an environment!The bathroom floor is continually soaked since there is a bathtub and water overflows everywhere when you shower in it. I also have the impression that the toilet shower was leaking.It's definitely not a 4 star hotel. I stayed there three days, the bed was never made again. I don't mean changing the sheets, just removing it squared away. Of course it didn't stop me from sleeping, but for a 4 star it seems like a minimum...The reception hall is very small, the employees at the reception are barely friendly, and certainly not smiling. The water in the pool is cloudy. The hallways smell musty and musty. The rooms too. I'm going through...Only the breakfast is up to par. Varied, plentiful and good. But almost identical the three days of my stay.The security and parking attendants are also very friendly.So if you want to try a 4 star and you don't have a big budget, go for it, it's the cheapest in Samarang. But you might have the chance to rub shoulders with cockroaches and you really won't have a 4-star experience!!!

The bathroom needs improvement, the bathtub, shower are not functioning properly, the floor is slippery because it is marble. Water from the bathtub still seeps onto the floor even though the curtains are closed on the inside of the bathtub because the shower is not functioning properly. It would be best if the floor under the bathtub were equipped with a safety rubber mat.

Stayed at 3D2N, the service was bad, they said the hotel was good but the water could turn off, once it turned on it was really dirty when I asked the receptionist for the solution, how to be told to just turn it on, wait 15-20 minutes, it'll be clean, but the proof was that it wasn't clean for more than an hour," the next day there was still so much sand that the skin was dry. I was irritated because the water was dirty, the air conditioner wasn't really cold, the bathtub was leaking, there were lots of varieties of food but it felt really standard, check in at 2 o'clock but when I arrived at 4 the room wasn't ready 😒, but it wasn't yet at the co's time and I was reminded on time 😒, got it The room has a smart TV but it's useless, I can't watch YouTube because it doesn't connect to the Internet, when I asked the receptionist I was fiddling with it, I still couldn't say it, then I reported it to my superiors, I thought I'd go back, then I finished it, it turned out that the zonk didn't come back until the co didn't come back 😒, when I got the room, there was no hotel telephone. It's a bit strange, you're given a WA telephone number to chat or call the call center but you don't read the WA, you don't answer, you don't answer the phone 👎 it's really annoying, the room is not bad because it's clean, but the service is great, no 👎👎👎 from SBY to Semarang, I want to be happy" instead it makes you bored with them 😒 if I go to Semarang again I won't stay there again, it's better to just look for another hotel which is better, plus it's next to the mall, the rooms are clean
