"Great staffโhousekeeping, front desk, restaurant, portersโall really good at their jobs. Semarang being a fairly big city, you canโt get an ideal location for sightseeing, but the hotel is probably as good as it gets. Two big malls very close by, Simpang Lima just a minute away, and clean sidewalks to stroll. The breakfast is plentiful and good. Recommended hotel, for sure."
