    We only stayed the one night and nothing negative came up.

    Staff very helpful and friendly. Room was simple but just fine for us and and this is reflected in the very reasonable price, especially considering we were given a free breakfast. Premises safe and secure. A few eating places near by.

    There are mosquitos at night, despite the air conditioner. The bathroom door is broken. One of the cable plugs are half covered by the bed, so it's difficult for a certain phone charger and there are only 2 ports on the wall. But it's all still acceptable.

    It's clean and comfortable. The staff are so friendly and helpful. The location are very strategic too. It's a good place to stay, even for 4 nights. The owners even took their time at 4 am to take us to the nearest train station and picked us up again at around 10 pm. The laundry is also clean and fast. Overall, I really like it here. Very recommended!

    I can only recommend this hotel :) My room was clean, spacious and really quiet, there are a lot of food options in the neighborhood, the staff was friendly, and I met really friendly backpackers and locals there. I was traveling solo and got sick, so I had to extend my stay on a short notice. Not only did the boss arrange me a doctor's appointment within 10 minutes when I asked for help, she also made sure to bring me there, made sure I had something to eat, brought me to a restaurant and asked if I needed anything more. Especially for someone traveling alone it was amazing to feel taken care of and she went far above anything I would have expected of any hotel! She is very knowledgeable and can recommend many places in Surabaya or places to visit on the island too. Thank you!!! :) :)

    Very comfortable guesthouse near Surabaya centre, lovely owner and staff, great value for money.
    • Leisure trip

    • Family Room
    • Stayed 1 night

    The surroundings of the guesthouse may need a bit of getting used to, particularly with the hectic road (Ngagel Jaya Selatan St) on the south of the guesthouse making it challenging to cross the road. However, this is not the guesthouse's problem, and once we got used to it, we felt the location was great - we had everything we needed within easy reach.

    Although the guesthouse is not right in the city centre (about a 15-minute taxi ride to Alun Alun, the main commercial centre of Surabaya), there is a big supermarket (Bilka), some convenience stores (Indomaret), and a very friendly and nice restaurant (Belut Khas Surabaya) all around the corner, so it's actually very convenient. The girls at the reception and the owner Yuvi were so friendly and helpful. They had rich information on the local amenities for their guests, and really tried their best to take care of us - Yuvi and her mom even kindly gave us a lift to Alun Alun - bless them! Our family room was bright, spacious and clean, with lots of cute personal touches, and the beds were comfortable. The air-con and hot showers were all great. They offer 24-h tea and coffee in the communal area, and you could use their fridge if you buy fresh juice/milk, etc. For such a big room and good facilities, we felt it was great value for money. When we had an extra day to spare, we extended our stay at the guesthouse, which shows how much we liked it. We'd definitely stay there again if we ever go back to Surabaya.
