The Winner Hotel

The staff were very friendly and helpful, and the room was clean and fairly spacious. It’s a small hotel in a small city, but the location is handy, with ATMs and minimarts nearby and food stalls just outside at night. Facilities matched what was advertised, including spacious parking, an okay restaurant, function rooms, a water heater, AC, and decent amenities. I’d stay here again if I come back to pemalang.

The room was clean and the price was cheap. Pak rofii from the cleaning staff took good care of everything. Breakfast was really bad one time: there was gado gado and fried tempe, but ants were coming from the wall onto the tempe. The restaurant staff weren’t checking the food, and utensils like spoons, cups, glasses, and plates had run out.

Fine for a transit stop, and breakfast was okay. I paid 178k for an AC room and hope they’ll maintain the rooms better. There was noise from the roadside.

At around IDR 185,000 a night, it’s near the station and city center, north of a local landmark, a bridge (jembatan). The bed and pillow were okay, the towel was passable, and the bath water was clean enough. The room was warm, so I didn’t need a blanket, though outside lights kept it from getting dark enough for a good night’s sleep. Bring an eye cover and your own room sandals. Toiletries are shampoo and bar soap, with no toothbrush or toothpaste, and you’ll need to buy drinking water at the minimarket just outside. You can get around by pedicab or Grab. The room wasn’t especially clean.
