Jiwa Jawa Residence — Hotel in Semarang

Tried to book a hotel in Semarang at the last minute and this seemed like the best option since most of the hotels in the area were fully occupied due to the year end holidays. We arrived pretty late around 9pm and fortunately Google maps guided us to the right location even though we weren't sure it was initially since it lead us to a housing estate which is actually where this place is located. Parking spaces is limited and if you have a large car, maneuverabilty is tough given the tight confines. Check in was fuss free and we had an executive room located on the first floor. Room was spacious but spartan. Most importantly it was clean and odourless. Ac was cold and hot water was good was a warm shower after a long day. Towels looked quite ratty though and the residence should look into replacing them. Sleep comfort was good but more pillows should have been provided. Did not expect much from the included breakfast and it was pretty much a let down. Overall it was a pleasant stay but considered pricey for what you...

The views are bloody amazing. Great temperature and very friendly people. Nice facilities too. Very clean and look new even though they're not really new.||Amazingly hard to get to, and the hotel didn't answer any of my queries on how to get there either. Good thing that I can speak Indonesian so I could ask local people when I got lost after trying to freakin follow the google map to get there. Turned out, I couldn't use normal everyday cars there from Malang. Had to rent a hardtop jeep. Better to go through Surabaya then Probolinggo. I could finally arrived at the hotel thanks to the people at the National park office, no thanks to hotel staffs.||Food are not expensive, but don't taste that good. More on edible side than yumm. Service at the restaurant is super slow too. Come and stay tho. It is still worth the trip....
