A very good hostel, close to Gunung Bromo makes it the ideal location to start your trip to Mont Bromo. The room is clean and the bed is very confortable...that is really a shame that you have to get up at 3:00 am to go and watch the sunrise on the volcanos !!! The restaurant is also good and the...

The hotel is basic but nobody would come to its location at the top of a mountain and spend much time at their hotel. Anyway, the rooms are fair enough - the floor tends to get muddy since you are likely climbing up Mount Bromo and the staff do not clean your room daily like in a hotel. You will... More

This is a decent location here the ticket office for the national park on the main strip. There is so much to see here besides Bromo, that most of your time should be spent away from the hotel. If I was to go back, I would stay here again.

We stayed for a night @ Cafe Lava last week. We took the superior double room. It was clean and the bed was quite comfy. Even though it's very cold @ night, the blanket could keep us warm enough. The hot water was working (thank God, otherwise we won't took a shower the whole day because the water was so... More

Its only a minute walking to the ring of the Caldera. Very quite place. Nice small and cozy bungalows. Hot water is great especcialy after cool day trekking in the mountains. Breakfast looks a little pricy buts its buffet style so very good value. You will need the energy.

We got the cheapest basic room which had a shared bathroom. The rooms were very compact but was ok for one night. Cemoro Lawang is so small, we had a look round at other hotels but this room was by far the cheapest (though expensive for Indoensia). The staff were really great. We thought we had to book a 4x4...

If like us, you are just staying for a few hours to sleep (it's not overnight because you are up at 3.30am), I CANNOT recommend this place. We booked a superior room as part of a tour. We arrived at 1pm and checked in. The room is clean enough, the bathroom basic and yes you do get hot water but... More

There are few things I would have changed during my one month trip through Indonesia. Spending more than just two nights at Cafe Lava Hostel is one of them! I should have taken more time at this great place. The surroundings are amazing, rooms are clean, staff is friendly and the food is good. Yes, the little cottages are not... More

Stayed for one night on the Ijen- Bromo Tour. Location in Cemoro Lawang ist just next to the crater, and you can walk to Bromo. Took a superior room which was clean. No shower cabin as so often in Asia, but the bathroom was ok, too. Breakfast and dinner at the restaurant were also fine, if you don`t expect the... More
