Why People Love It

Rooftop pool is surprisingly decent for the price
Free airport shuttle (when it works)
Spa massages are incredibly affordable

Quick Take: A tired budget hotel that trades sleep quality for a swimming pool and a rock-bottom price tag.

Reviewed by @maz33: I stayed here during a layover at CGK and it was exactly what I needed. The room was clean, and seeing that dental kit on the sink was a relief since my bags were checked. Great spot to recharge before flying out.

Guest Who Stayed Here Said

The hype

Great value for a quick transit layover if you lower your expectations, but don't expect a quiet night.

Reality check

The shuttle service is the biggest source of drama—miss the scheduled slot and you're paying for a taxi.

You are a solo backpacker on a shoestring budget
You have an early morning flight and just need a shower and a nap
You want a cheap massage and a swim before a long haul

Cleanliness & Maintenance

Housekeeping: Daily service is performed, but deep cleaning (under beds, corners) is often missed.
Bathroom hygiene: Functional but dated; grout often has discoloration and drains can be slow.
Maintenance: The building is showing its age (peeling paint, worn carpets in hallways).
Linens & towels: Towels are often thin and greyish; linens are clean but worn.
Odors & scents: Strong cigarette smoke smell is a common complaint, even in non-smoking areas.
