Lotus Bandung

It gave me the impression of an old family-run hotel that the owner has kept much as it was. There’s a large parking area, a camping ground, a fish pond, and a cafeteria at the entrance. Cleanliness was standard, and service caused no problems. My twin room cost 140k on Traveloka, which was very cheap. It's about ten minutes from the main road, but still reachable.

Getting to the main road was inconvenient, and you'd need an Uber or Grab ride. The hotel is quite far out. Our room and the facilities weren't in the condition I expected: they weren't properly cleaned, and the sheets and pillowcases looked yellowed and not properly washed. Water pressure was weak on the higher floors, and we had some creepy moments during the stay. I wouldn't choose it again for a future trip.

The location is tucked deep inside a residential area, so it's hard to reach. If you don't have a vehicle, I'd look elsewhere. The rooms and facilities were also far below expectations, with very weak water pressure on upper floors. My group had a stay when there was no water at all. We also had some unsettling things happen. Toilet doors opened by themselves even after being shut firmly, clumps of long hair showed up despite there being no female workers cleaning the rooms, and there was a bad smell in the rooms with no obvious source.

My Pegi-Pegi room without breakfast cost 150k IDR, which felt pretty cheap, and it had hot water and a TV. It's a bit far from the main road, though a car can get there, even if parts of the route are challenging. There are lots of GoFood and GrabFood options nearby, so getting snacks or a meal is easy.
