3 stars Bogor Hotels

Check in was a little offhand but pleasant enough. Access to rooms is via a very slow lift and there is no easy stair option which was a pain as we were only a single floor from the pool/restaurant and using stairs would have been a good option considering the lift Rooms are spartan and they have gone for the minimalist look, but it fails slightly and looks cold. Rooms are well equipped and generally comfortable. Children's beds are an extra charge. Rooms are not well noise insulated and we had a lot of noise from the rooms above us. Fitness facilities are poor with only four machines (2 bikes and two treadmills) and no weights option. Pool is small and can be very busy. The pool is beside the smoking area which is not great. Breakfast is good, with a good selection, however some basic hygiene was lacking (rearranging used cutlery rather than replacing it...). Location is very good as the hotel is very central and close to the gardens. There is also a direct access link to the shopping mall next door, which is handy for wet season activities.
