Great location on a budget
"The room it self is pretty basic, we pick this hotel because of the bunk bed arrangement that suit our need perfectly and the proximity to Gambir train station.

Okay for short stay
"Friendly service, clean room and great food! The room and bathroom are tiny so I don’t recommend staying in this hotel for more than 2 days! Everything is outdated. I don’t like the security of the hotel compound. It seems like pedestrians use the hotel area to cut through to go the back street."
