Except for the following situation. At the beginning the guy on the reception offer us 400Rp for the room. But then after we cheked... More

For a budget hotel in a place where there is a distinct absence of luxury hotels, this is an acceptable option. Yes, the staff are not particularly helpful and the place is about as basic as it comes, but it's a bed for the night at an extremely small price.

Indeed, location is good, close to the center, still away from the noise. Price depends -> on-off season, view, room size, how many nights you will stay.... I was paying 500 rps in June for a single room with TV. Bad thing is, at that time owner was more or less away from the place, and it's more of a... More
