RedDoorz Syariah near Gembira Loka Zoo

Food is easy to find on foot outside, from nasi goreng to pecel lele. The Wi-Fi was fairly fast, and the bathroom had a heated shower. My standard double room was clean when I arrived, with mineral water, toothbrush, toothpaste, and a towel provided. There was also a non-cable TV. The desk was worn, rustic, and ugly, paired with a very old-fashioned plastic chair. It’s a middle-of-the-road hotel without anything special, but the price is pretty affordable.

A quiet, peaceful place.

Okay.

For IDR 250,000, I got no refund after a terrible stay. My body became itchy and broke out in a rash after I was bitten by mites in the mattress. I had to buy medicine myself for the rash and swelling. I checked in at night, then left the next morning because the room was so uncomfortable and dirty. It was the dirtiest accommodation I’ve ever experienced. When I asked the receptionist for compensation, she offered no solution and seemed clueless, making confused noises and asking what mites were. Clean the place properly instead of asking that. Anyone considering staying here should find somewhere more decent, and the accommodation should be willing to compensate guests if something bad happens. I WILL NOT RETURN!
