"I went with family and extend family, booked two family rooms although I needed only one family room and one coupe room. Some limitation on Expedia app. Managed to get a check in early very helpful staff. Rooms themselves were quite nice with good comfy beds and filtered drinking water avaliable. The hotel is located well. Decently close to the jonker area. A 10 to 15 min walk. Has a guardian just opposite and a 711 just two minutes away. However the toilets needed a lot of work. Not well...
