Hotel Gajahmada Graha — Hotel in Malang

Top tip.... Best Western next door is only fractionally more expensive and is seemingly 100 times better in standard. However, if you DO want to stay here, this is my review....||We chose this hotel mainly down to the quirky design of the place!! This is just an extravagant fascade. Behind the exterior extravagance, this is a shabby, really budget hotel. We are seasoned travellers used to staying in really basic hotels and this was definitely that, but with a price more 'mid range' for the area.||At check in was told breakfast was included. After first breakfast, we were chased out of restaurant asking us to pay for the meal as it wasn't actually included and cost 150k more! We had only had toast and coffee so disputed this saying we had been told it was included! Saying that, they didn't end up charging us for it.||Our room was 117. It was downstairs in a dark and scruffy corridor, past beds stored, dirty plates etc that sat there for days. There was a large window but it looked directly onto another bedroom and you were so underground, the little outside space gave no indication to the outside conditions - no idea if it were sunny or raining.||The bathroom stank of sewage that wasn't ours. After a day out of the room you were greeted back with a terrible smell. On a positive side, the shower had good pressure!||The internet in the hotel was a joke. Each room had their own network connection. Only problem was that inside the room itself, the poor connection was non existent if you weren't pressed against your front door, as the router is in the corridor. This made onward planning quite challenging over WiFi as most of it had to happen loitering outside the room!||The last night we decided to eat in the hotel in the extravagantly named Cleopatra restaurant. Being pescetarinans, we struggle to find meals with no meat, so we opted for French fries to start as a safe option while we set out to translate their menu online using the sketchy Wi-Fi. The gaggle of waiting staff loitering around doing started howling with laughter at our choice in a really insulting fashion. Not prepared to be insulted, I translated a sentence explaining we don't eat meat and are struggling to find anything to eat. We were proudly presented a 'vegetarian menu' which on closer translation included chicken, beef, shrimp, sausage dishes. Anything but vegetarian meals. We don't mind being laughed at if we do something silly, but considering their 'vegetarian menu' was the laughable part, this was annoying!||As mentioned at the start, I would highly recommend not staying here as for the small amount of money more with a rate that includes breakfast, go check in to the BW OJ next door, where they have a swimming pool and an awesome skybar with sunsets over the...

This is not vintage hotel. It's super old and dirty hotel, they don't clean and renovation nowhere. Vintage not like that. At room can see spider, wardrobe door can't open . Bathroom incredible dirty and old. İt's funny part is my bed sheet it was small not even enough to cover all bed . How is that possible they cover bed with small bed sheet. How i can sleep like that ? All day you hear the machine voice. Probably that is Air-condition fan unit , all room non stop shaking.That machine non stop working and stoping , working stoping, Working DUUUUMMM AND STOP DUUUUUUMM AND STOP NON STOP , Room is shaking . IMPOSSIBLE SLEEPING.Hotel is ready to play in horror movie. İt's really scary. Why you need this to yourself? Just book another normal hotel. Even receptionist also he is like part of horror movie. He don't smile, no have any reaction, look so sad . Your mood will so low here. This hotel can't renovation. Directly they must destroy or they must close for the guest. Room is so dirty everywhere dusty. İ couldn't touch nowhere. İ just pray the god to became morning quickly and i check out from here.I don't say anything about internet. That also like 15 years ago. Max speed 1mbps if you can connect. I travel almost all country I stated more than 200 hotel but this place its my terrible hotel list top3 easily. STOP TO ACCEPT GUEST . THIS PLACE NOT HOTEL. In toilet when you open water, water don't go from water drain. So slowly going. I'm so angry its 3am but still I can't sleep from sound im so angry and writing this review.! ENOUGHHHHH THIS MACHINE NON STOP ON, ROOOMM ITS SHAKING. I WILL BE CRAZYY. I JUST WANT WAKE FROM THIS...

Found this hotel through traveloka.Looks really bizzare from the outside, and with old look room from the picture, we were somehow unsure about this hotel. But reading some of the reviews here, we agreed to take the leap.||||The parking lot outside is just for 3 cars, but they appear to have a basement, so no worries there. The security was really attentive when you park and go out.||||The front desk area is quite small, there's a gift shop, snacks and ice cream bar if you need food in the middle of the night.||||We got the 304 room. It's clean, the view is another room at the opposite building, but it's fine for us. There's quite a selection for tv channel, international and national.||AC is cold, hot water is available, all is good. ||||Except a little minor, there's somehow a humming sound near our room which is quite loud and not from our AC or water. The sound was constant, and somehow disappeared around 5 AM, but then it's on again around 6 AM, If you don't like this kind of thing, please choose another room.||||The breakfast was top of my list for hotel on this budget. You got nasi pecel ( good ), vegetarian koloke ( good ), nasi goreng ( good ), bubur ayam ( good ), dimsum ( okay ), fish ( good ), pudding ( good ), juice ( good ).|| ||This hotel is near catholic church ( 5 min driving ) and a traditional cake store ( 1 min walking ) .||||Will...
