Hotels near Seafood & Singkong Frozen ＂ Bu Widi ＂, Semarang

Grand Candi is an unpretentious hotel catering mainly to Indonesian population. The hotel looks tired, with faded decor and a strong smell of air freshener to disguise the old and scruffy furniture. The room I stayed in was clean and the bed comfortable. The drain in the bathroom overflowed every morning, spreading dirty water across the floor but this was a plumbing issue rather than one of routine maintenance. The food caters to Asian tastes and Westerners would be disappointed if they expected to see familiar options at breakfast. The poolside was horrendous - 3 heavy wooden sun loungers without cushions, one parasol rusted into a concrete stand, an abundance of ants and a 'poolside bar' which amounted to a hole in the wall with no service. Furniture outside was very uncomfortable. Inside was the gym which was basic, to say the least, but both pool and gym tend to be poorly attended so maybe not enough to be worth the cost of refurb. There was an excellent sauna and a spa that offered very good and accommodating massage, although the environment was not very conducive. But shining through all of this like a beacon was the hotel staff. Indonesian people are, by nature, friendly and eager to please and I cannot fault their attempts to make my (2-week) stay as comfortable as possible. Nothing seemed to be too much trouble; perhaps it was the novelty of having a Brit in the house, who knows? Fiy An, Augustin and Billy on the concierge desk shuttled me daily to my workplace in the car and back. In the bar, Anastasia and her trainee sidekick (Diane) together with YahYaha and Wayou were particularly delightful, as was Nanik. It was unfortunate that the bar area was almost permanently clouded in cigarette smoke. The Reception staff were fiercely professional and accurate, as well as eager to please. All in all my 2-week stay was made more than tolerable by the wonderful and friendly hotel staff. My room was clean and comfortable and the facilities were perfectly useable, if a little tired. My recommendation would be to have a smoking area in the hotel that did not mean having to wade through acrid smoke to enjoy a drink. It would also save the health of the bar staff who cannot escape.

Strategic location, good service, good room, great

Overall is okay... but cleanliness is just a bit lack.. the good thing about this hotel is the room is spacious.. the swimming pool is belonged to the neighboring hotel MG Suites so customers from MG setos can not use the swimming pool freely, we have to pay 50k rupiah per person to be able to use the pool... the other downside is the Parking area, from the parking area to first lobby there is no elevator so if you bring a lot of luggage you have to carry it heavily by stair from parking area to first lobby before you can take the elevator.. so it is kinda a hassle.. but you can drop your belonging in front of the first lobby if you dont want to carry it all yourself there is the staff offering trolly, at night the parking area is locked it is safe but become a problem when you want to go out at night or come back at night

Nice hotel and has a balcony for view outside. Breakfast has a lot of choices. The water in the swimming pool is clean. Not far from train station, kota tua Semarang, as well to shopping center. Will stay again for next trip.

The hotel is very strategic in the middle of the city near the young tugu, the sewu row and Poncol Station as well as some Malls in the city center. for transportation to the hotel is also very easy. for hotel facilities according to the price offered. good for travelers - saving travel.

For traveling a slope capital this hotel can be an option1 location is adjacent to the train so it is easy access. For small rooms. Room facilities are minimal. But quite comfortable

Situated in residential area, northern part of Semarang. Cheap hotel rate. Room is small but clean and comfy. Everything is working fine, aircond is cold, hotwater on bathroom works. The only downside is lack of amenities in rooms. Overall, it is still worth it.

Strategic hotel with comfortable location in the middle of the city, Lamar is quite clean, unfortunately the noise from outside enters the room so it disturbs you when resting. got a room with a leaking shower

I would love to say that this hotel one of the best budget hotel in Semarang. Thanks to Ms. Farah who was very helpful as receptionist. I love the hotel concept with green colour. It looks so fresh. And the hotel location is in the middle of Semarang city. My family loves it. Only need to walk 5 minutes to go to Paragon mall and of course near with tourist destination, Lawang Sewu, Kampung Pelangi, Old City. What a pleasant stay at Whiz Hotel..
