Gedongtengen accommodation from NZ$22

Awesome

The hotel is close to the train station and to the Maliboro street. Friendly staff. Thank you.

On the surface, this is a modern hotel with reasonable facilities. However, there are loads of pros and cons. The rooms are a little bit worn, staff don’t speak that much English and most of the clients are Indonesian. Breakfasts offer loads of choice: two rice options, one noodle, a veg stir-fry and a fish or chicken dish, plus several buburs (porridges), simple cakes and pastries, plus fresh fruit. But the coffee and tea are weak and lukewarm – barely drinkable; I ended up walking to the central Tugu station nearby to get coffee from the convenience store. Also, the building next door to the hotel is a church, and at weekends you'll have to put up with the band at evening service, not to mention a 6 am (!) band rehearsal on Sunday followed by more music. Overall I had an OK and very affordable stay, but it could have been much better if the management paid more attention to details.
