Front One Budget Hotel Slamet Riyadi Solo

We could walk to almost everywhere from this hotel, so the location was good. We hadn't checked it beforehand and ended up staying one night. For the price at the time, it wasn't too bad, though the room was small but acceptable and the AC wasn't cold enough. There were no toiletries in the room. When we asked reception, they gave us only a toothbrush and toothpaste, so I'd bring your own. There isn't a nearby shop that sells them.

The waitress was really nice and accommodating with my request. The place has a cozy, pleasant feel, and the food was tasty. I ordered korean buffalo chicken, and the price was pretty reasonable. They also offer budget meal packages at much lower prices, but only at specific times. My only gripe was the iced tea: for that price, I wished it came in a bigger glass.

It's budget friendly, and the room was nice. The hotel is in a great spot, surrounded by authentic local food restaurants and street stalls. The washroom wasn't laid out very well, though, and its slow plumbing left water flooding across the floor.

The employees were friendly, and check-in was quick and easy. There's also a mini cafe downstairs with cheap food and drinks. I came to Solo for the weekend on short notice and booked online at an affordable price. The hotel is centrally located and strategic, and the cabin-style room is small but has the facilities described. Still, I got torn towels and dirty sheets, the room smelled of cigarette smoke, and the bathroom soap was low and hard to get out of its bottle. I hope they improve and keep the service consistent.
