Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
an overall pleasant stay
Check in after arrival was easy, the reception staff friendly and helpful at all times, the concierge helpful regarding sites to visit and directing me to places, though some places can be reached by walking instead of taxi (surely after respecting certain precautions, i.e. ladies leave your Gucci bags and diamonds at home) but I think it is just a safety first policy by the hotel. I did not encounter any lapses with the house keeping as I had read at some other rating websites and found them fast compared to usual Indonesian standards. The room cleaning at the second day of my stay could have been a bit better (dropped cookies still at the floor). The views from the room are pleasant, advantages are surrounding shopping malls and the better local food outlets quite nearby, in fact in walking within distance. Internet speed was fine.
Breakfast was good too but would recommend a better brand for the jam and more strength to the black tea (I thought nearby Bandung is a tea plantation area???). But the basics are there and if you are adventurous to taste the local dishes, it is all fine. Please keep up the local herbs drinks for breakfast that gives some difference to the other hotels...
The sunset drink at the roof bar at the extension building is very joyful (sure pricier than at normal food outlets). I really liked the non smoking policy inside the hotel areas (lobby etc).
overall a very pleasant stay. Don't forget to bring sufficient funds for the factory outlets nearby.
