Rarely have I stayed at a hotel and been so disappointed in it. We checked in to the room and immediately smelled a bad smell. We didn’t have to look too far to see that the wall next to the window and sink was black with mould. We were only here for three days and I thought it would be alright as we spend little time in the room. We unpacked and while doing so saw three large ants, one in the bed. That did it. We asked for a different room and told them we would pay more for an upgrade. There was a language barrier and we could not convey to them our issues or that we were more then willing to pay more.

Read moreHotel Riche is always my chosen hotel when I visit Malang. Aside from its convenient location at the heart of Malang City (near alun-alun, Jami’ Mosque, Protestant Church, Catholic Church, Toko “Oen”, Sarinah Dept Store, and Gramedia book store), there are a lot of public transport that will take you to your destination from Hotel Riche. Hotel Riche is a nostalgic hotel for me, from the deepest of my heart. My memories go back to when I was in highschool in the 60s , I often did my school revisions with my best friend who at the time was living in Hotel Riche as a long-stay hotel guest, then Hotel Riche was already standing in the midst of sleepy Malang city that was not as busy as it is nowadays. So, why do I always choose Hotel Riche as my favourite hotel? I feel comfortable, at ease, and like I’m with family, the staff are friendly and I can feel nostalgic. The price of the room is fantastically inexpensive. Please come to Malang and make Hotel Riche your chosen hotel to spend...

(Google map it) it's close by to every where.||The reception was sort of outdoor. Haha||The room was small and sort of like kos-kos an or homestay. I love the blanket they provide us with! Batik blanket very soft too. I even asked em where they bought theirs. If they sell it I probably would buy it because I couldnt find it any where.||Breakfast, very limited option, taste was so so. Good enough for a quick bfast before hitting the road again.||The hotel is not a modern hotel, not a big tall building type of hotel. But it is on a big street and covered by a huge tree so...
