My second time staying here. Extremely nice place. Great breakfast, nice pool, great location, comfortable bed, friendly staff, great views, very safe and chill place. There may be some little things others may nit pick about, but for me, it’s a perfect place to stay. A home away from home. My go to hotel when I visit Indonesia again.

Good Place to stay
It’s always good to stay here, comfortable rooms and good service.
Only thing matters is lifts are not managed well.
Breakfast time it was too crowded, must find bigger space.

Worst hotel I have ever stayed
This hotel is worst hotel since I have ever stayed for 5 years of travelling all over the world and
stay more than 70 day in a year. (I have stayed totally more than 400 night)I strongly do not recommend you stay here.And I have decided not to stay only this hotel but also this chain hotel. The reason why I do not want to stay this hotel anymore is 100% come from reception staff.The problem is reception staff attitude and education level.They do not have neither responsibility and hospitality.
First,you have to wait for several min for checking in because I do not know why they need to check
so many things and get visitor wait so long.And they seems not to feel sorry.In other normal hotel,all we have to do is just show our ID such as passport and it will be done but this hotel is not.
Next, I would like to tell you their hospitality.At the night ,somehow I booked wrong date and need to re-book.Reception said there were several room were available so I requested them to change.
In fact,I did same thing for before 2 times, but reception were quiet helpful and easily to change the booking.Because I knew that,I requested them again and again but they told me just"NO".
They were about to get me double payment but I noticed it so it can be stopped. I had to call this website customer service and off course , it can be changed.I lost around one hours , even I was so tiered after finishing one day working and moving from other city.

Best hotel in solo
The best hotel in Solo area. You should try the pool. Right next to the mall. Room is spacious and clean.
Its a 4 star hotel but the mentality of the staff is a 1 star or no star hotel. Once you book and pay the room through hotels.com. The hotel is sending you an email that your creditcard needs to be verified and not indirectly guaranteed your stay. You will have to fill-in an additional form where u need to fill in all details re your creditcard. I called hotels.com and complaint about this. I even contact my bank why ny creditcard was not able to verified. It is a shock if u find out if you already paid that the booking is cancelled because your creditcard.
At the end after our complaint we found that this hotel has his own rules about creditcards, we will make an official complaint about this.
If you ever book this hotel and you encounter the same issue as above. Ditectly contact customer service of hotels.com.
Further about the hotel, the room is tidy and big. But the breakfast during the weekends looks like a big bazaar where u have no privacy as you sit at 1 round table wii other people. We didnot like this kind of standard for a 4 star hotel.
The room again is good, but the system management needs to change from top down.
