Hotel Bumi Asih

Gedung Sate mosque gate is right across the street, so the location is good.

For the price, the basic facilities are adequate if you're visiting Bandung and mostly heading out to see things. The building is old, but the area is quiet and not too crowded, close to Gedung Sate and Gasibu field. There are two rooms that sleep three people, priced at IDR 825,000 per night including tax and breakfast for three. A two-person room costs IDR 650,000, and an extra bed is IDR 200,000 per night. Breakfast is included with all of them.

The friendly staff responded quickly when we needed something, and the garden was small but nice. We stayed five nights in a spacious deluxe room on the second floor, with a balcony, fridge, kettle, two mugs and two teaspoons. The bed was comfortable, with one pillow per person. They supplied two bath towels, two pairs of indoor slippers and two bottles of water a day. Water pressure was good. The room was a bit dark, though the large window brought in plenty of daylight. It smelled like fresh paint when we checked in, and parts of the hotel felt run down, so the rooms need maintenance. The location is central, and there’s a coffee shop in the hotel compound right next door. We had a good stay.

The photos undersell it, this was the first hotel I've visited that looked even better in person. The bedding and bathroom were very clean, and there was lots of natural light. It's a beautiful hotel with many rooms set among gardens in a lovely Bandung neighborhood near Gadung Sate. Don't hesitate to book if you're in Bandung.
