Unfortunately, this time we stayed they were very busy and they were seriously understaffed. We waited 15 minutes to even get the menu and the staff were rushed off their feet. Please management employ more staff before you lose the really good ones you already have of course, this won’t deter me, and I will be back again soon.

It’s my go to hotel when staying in Milan, it’s probably the best hotel in the area

I would say that to food, in both restaurants was below expectations. But, I admit it is very subjective and person-depend.

The staff is extremely nice and helpful. A special mention for Anita and Niluh who have been very effective and patient to get me a booking to travel by train from Malang to Yojakarta. Once again many thanks to both of you for your kindness, efficacy and professionalism.

The colonial decor is not for everyone. We also thought the food was fine rather than exceptional. There are only 5 loungers by the pool, so it can be a bit of a scramble.

The facilities are excellent, as is the location. The pool area is beautiful, and the setting/decor is so extraordinary that you might meet tour groups being taken round. The food is among the best rated in Malang and we had outstanding massages in the spa, which we really recommend.

Expensive for the area, but worth the splurge.

Classic property with beautiful art. Great staff and delicious restaurant. Malang is an interesting town, worth a 3 day visit.

Nothing I can think of. It was simply great.

What a great hotel! I would return to Malang only to dine at Merpati restaurant. I'm Dutch, so we have a lot of Indonesian restaurants in NL, but I've never ever had such tasty Indonesian food. The nasi Kampur, the rendang, etc etc. All fantastic. The decor of the hotel is lovely, the location is great, the facilities such as the pool and the afternoon tea where simply wonderful. The hotel is an ocean of tranquility when coming back from busy Malang and surroundings. And also the staff is really great. There is John, who was very informative and there was, oh sorry, now forgot his name, but the cocktail shaker (who was very new he told us) who made great cocktails and also the lady at the reception who took care of the fact that we got a breakfast when leaving early for our plane. The hotel also recommended Vinny, the tour guide, and he was knowledgeable and had tons of experience in the area. We enjoyed these tours to Bromo and to the waterfalls tremendously. An absolute highlight this hotel!

Amazingly atmospheric hotel. One of a kind. Tea at 4 pm is wonderful with traditional Javanese cakes.

When we arrived they had no record of our booking. Then it was quite some time before they found us a room. Our room did not match any of the photos and was not nearly as nice as on our previous stay. The shower wasn't functional and the plug didn't fit in the bathtub. The small room was filled with signs and hotel items such that it was like being in a shop. We had no space for our belongings. The breakfast menu here is extensive and the restaurant is truly excellent but this trip the breakfast service had problems also. I've previously said this was my favorite ever hotel but I felt this time that we were stuck in a small substandard room. Perhaps they were otherwise fully booked (?) but as we are returning guests who booked for 5 nights it was certainly disappointing.

This is our second time to this amazing hotel but sadly it didn't measure up to our previous stay. The hotel is like a museum, it is truly beautiful. Also the staff are extremely professional and do all they can to assist. The complimentary afternoon tea is great.

1. Ants in the bathroom. 2. Just one towel per person in the room. In my opinion for hygienic reasons you need separate a separate towel for face and head. I asked for one but never got it.

Beautiful hall with a swimming pool.

The gym we used needs an upgrade, however this was a minor issue.

The hotel itself is beautiful with a lot of character and soul, you can get lost exploring all the different areas, corridors and corners; the deco is amazing. The staff is extremely friendly and speak very good English. There are restaurants and a bakery onsite you can use. If going to Bromo overnight, they will prepare you a lunch box. Plus also in the afternoon there are complimentary traditional Indonesian snacks and drink (ginger tea) served for the guests at the Tea Room. We liked the hotel so much, we extended our stay for 1 additional night with an upgrade to Executive Suite. I find it an excellent value for money - fully recommended.

if you are a smoker !! - some of the room balconies can be small

this is a five star 'boutique' hotel - the decor is pure art - the rooms, restaurant, and pool, all have an easy-going charm - the staff are all very professional - this is one of the few hotels where the photos dont mislead - would highly recommend

The best breakfast I ever have in a hotel. So beautiful so vintage. Visit the Vietnam restaurant Saigonsan is a must

Nothing - it was all marvellous

Beautiful property filled with antiques, delightfully laid out. Amazing 2 hour massages at their spa. Delicious food in both restaurants. Friendly bar man in the bar. Nice pool. Great afternoon tea served 4-6pm for guests as a complimentary enhancement.

The hotel is exceptionally beautiful. we had just a couple of days in Malang but it helped us to feel the Indonesian experience.

The so-called ‘gym’ was very disappointing. The laundry service was much too expensive.

The room was great and spacious, the staff was very friendly and helpful, and the hotel looks like a museum

Absolutely nothing - Tugu is exceptional!

Probably the finest hotel breakfasts I’ve ever had, and a staff who were outstandingly friendly and helpful.

Stayed in June 2023

This hotel is one of a kind. Even the most basic rooms are beautiful, and the hotel is almost overwhelming in its museum-like collections of artifacts and art. The facilities and restaurants are excellent, with complimentary afternoon tea every day Most of all though, the staff are fantastic and go above and beyond. We had an issue with a late delivery of documents to the hotel that could have ruined our trip. The staff have been fantastic in working to reunite us with our property even after we had checked out. A unique experience I can't recommend enough

I feel embarrassed to even start about anything negative, but feel that this honest opinion may help the hotel improve to become even better than it already is: the bathrooms really could use a renovation. To have to take a shower in a bathtub is really no longer acceptable in the 21st century, especially not with a curtain and an old fashioned mixing tap, especially not in a hotel where the hot water provision is not very modern. The water turned very hot and than again cold during a shower. Also the bathrooms are very small. Mind you also, that, as with almost all hotels in Java, sound (or other) isolation is non-existent. We take earplugs everywhere to remedy this small inconvenience. This should not be a reason to not stay in this hotel - you should, because all the rest is wonderful. The attention, the two restaurants, the spa with massage, the garden, the pool, the free teatime with treats, all add to an unforgettable time in Tugu Malang!

Where to begin? This hotel is also a museum! You are amazed by fabulous art and antiques around every corner! The rooms are fantastically authentic. You feel back in the forties of the 20th century. They have a special flora team that takes care of all the wonderful plants in and around the gardens and that prepares floral pieces for in the rooms. We have traveled throughout the world to many 5 star hotels, and we can honestly state that this is one of the best hotels ever! We almost never rate a hotel as a 10, because we reserve those tens for special gems and this is definitely one of them!
