"Great hotel. Great location for street foods and grocery stores. Only issue I had was rumbling generator noise. I an a light sleeper and this like all other hotels I stayed in in Indonesia has no soundproofing. Hence the 4 * rating. Besides that all was great. Better than Mercure which I stayed in later."
