Front One Boutique Karawang

For a budget hotel, the bedroom and bathroom were impressively clean, and the location was great, near an exit toll road, a mall, and a 24-hour convenience store. The staff were hospitable, and the elevators looked fairly new and worked well. You get what you pay for, and the lack of amenities is fine with me, though I'm not sure what to expect from a budget place. Sometimes a vehicle blocks the front lobby entrance. It's also odd that there was no Qiblat direction marking in Indonesia.

The rates are budget-friendly, the service was great, and the hotel is handy for shops and RPM shopping centre. My main issue was guests smoking around families and children despite the no-smoking rule. It made other guests uncomfortable, and I think people who ignore that rule should be asked to leave.

For a solo stay around West Karawang, this could work. The restaurant serves until 10 PM, though the menu is limited, with ramen among the options. My bedroom was quite small, and while the room and bathroom were mostly clean, bring your own toothbrush and toothpaste. Only one bath towel was provided, with no slippers, and there was a water heater but no coffee or tea.

Breakfast was tasty, though the portion was very small, as my photo shows. The room and hotel were clean and nice, and the low price made the small room feel reasonable. I did find a cockroach during my one-night stay.
