Hotel Minak Jinggo — Hotel in Java

This hotel would probably fit the description as the worst hotel I've ever stayed. I initially took my tour participants to stay at Kendi Villa & Spa. Tour leader would normally get complimentary room in the villa complex. But at that time, it was fully booked. Even the driver's room was packed! ||So they directed me to stay at Minak Jinggo, which is a few minuted downhill from Kendi Villa. ||Although the front entrance looks amazing and classy, I was totally shocked when they took me to my room. It was very bare. Even worse than driver's room at Kendi villa. ||The toilet is the squat one, the water tub kept leaking, no complimentary blanket was given (I was lucky to bring one by coincidence), no TV, no fan, and not even a power plug to charge my phone! Worse still, they don't even give us complimentary breakfast! ||To make the matter worse, the area in front of my room was very slippery. The noise from passing vehicles, especially with loud exhaust, would woke us up at night. ||Although the complimentary stay was given for 2 nights, I decided that I had enough one night there and move to another...

This must have been a great resort in the 80s and 90s of last century. It still has some great potential, but it really needs a big renovation.

One problem arose after another…

We stayed in a family room; actually two rooms in a gated yard. For the tub in the garden, there was no bath plug, the lock of the gate was covered in rust and couldn’t be closed anymore. The water ran through the sink directly on the floor and the first morning, the key broke when trying to lock the room.

Arriving in the reception; they say “yes, yes, yes”, but afterwards it turns out they don’t understand any of the problems; I had to run water to show them the leak… For the broken key they wanted to charge us RP 50.000.

In the shower the water hardly ran away, we were standing in 2cm of water in no time!

The swimming pool can be used by locals as well, but they leave all their trash. The restroom near the swimming pool was really gross.

An Asian breakfast was included, but for our kids they were willing to make toast with fried eggs, that was...
