Pakansari Guest Inn by RedDoorz

The location is handy, close to Pakansari Stadium, with plenty of food stalls open from morning until night. The bed was comfortable, and room 42 was better than room 41, although it smelled of cigarettes. In room 41, the AC didn’t cool properly even when I set it to 16°, and the bathroom door wouldn’t lock. I booked both rooms. The road to the inn is a little tricky, so pay close attention to the map. Still, the stay was good overall.

The staff were a huge help when my rideshare was causing trouble. I don’t speak Indonesian yet, but they used Google Translate with me and called the driver to check what was going on so I could leave safely. I stayed last weekend and found the place lovely, with working AC and a suitable bathroom. There’s also a cute cafe open in the evenings for food, coffee, and music. I’d definitely recommend staying here if you’re in the area.

I rented six rooms for my group, and the whole experience was a disaster. Every room smelled of smoke, and the cleanliness was atrocious. The bathrooms smelled too, and they had no shower heads. One toilet wasn’t secured to the floor and tipped over. When we asked to move, they refused to return our deposit.

Handy for a work stopover, and the owner was very helpful. The price works well for corporate stays.
