If all you need is a bed to sleep and rest at night, this is a decent option. It feels like a transit hotel, with small rooms, no pool, and limited parking. They offer valet service if the lot runs out of space, though it may not always be running. The bed was fairly clean, with a few stains here and there. The bathroom floor had stains too, and there was no soap holder.

At checkout, the receptionist just took our card and returned my deposit, without asking us to check whether we’d left anything behind. The hallway smelled strongly of cigarette smoke when we were leaving the next day. From beginning to end, the hotel had nothing good about it. It’s hard to believe this is a 3rd star class hotel. The property is so small that the parking couldn’t accommodate even half a full booking. They offered free valet, but the parking area was quite far away. They asked for a cash deposit of IDR 100.000, but didn’t give us a second room card for the electricity. They said the hotel was fully booked that day, so when we arrived at 9 PM, the room was really hot. At check-in, the receptionist didn’t tell us where the lift was, our room number, or how to call the front desk if we needed anything. The room wasn’t very clean either: stains on the bed, dust on the windows, ants on the table, a slippery bathroom, too few amenities, and grey towels. I’d already asked them to recheck the room before I arrived. It was nice that they provided a glass jar for water in the room, but there was no dispenser in the hallway.

The location is pretty good, close to the Bogor botanical garden. The room was okay, though there were no towels or bath mat when we arrived.

Fine for an overnight stay. It’s a clean, modern style hotel under 500k, and check-in and checkout went smoothly. Room service only runs until 22.00 WIB. The menu was limited and didn’t look appealing, but the food tasted good when it arrived.
