My stay at Palm Bondowoso was quite average. The hotel has a charming colonial style, but my experience was marred by concerns over the transportation they arranged. The ambiance could be described as lively, yet the noise from karaoke felt a bit off-putting at times.

The hotel is well-located for accessing Ijen Crater and is just a 10-minute walk to the town square. there are restaurants nearby, including a good option for dinner.

My stay at Palm Bondowoso was quite a mix of positives and negatives. The room I had was spacious and comfortable, and the large pool was a wonderful highlight. However, the atmosphere felt a bit cold and impersonal, and the dining options didn’t always meet expectations. Overall, the hotel is decent but in a location with limited things to do in Bondowoso.

I stayed in the Rose room, which was massive and felt like a small flat. It was clean and comfortable, which made my stay enjoyable.

Service

I found the service to be lacking at times; the staff's level of English was not great, and I hoped for a more welcoming atmosphere.

Location

Bondowoso itself had limited attractions, aside from visiting the Ijen crater, and the options for cafes and restaurants were scarce. I felt a bit confined to the hotel.

Dining

5.0

The restaurant's offerings were hit-or-miss, with some items unavailable. Breakfast was just edible, nothing more exciting than that.

Facilities

The facilities included a fantastic pool that served as a nice place to unwind after a long day. I also appreciated the option for massages through the hotel.

During my stay at Palm Bondowoso, I experienced both positives and negatives. The warmth and helpfulness of the staff were standouts, which made for a pleasant interaction. However, the overall conditions of the room and facilities left much to be desired, considering the price I paid.

My room was spacious, but it felt dusty and grimy. Cobwebs were everywhere, and the hot water supply was inadequate.

Service

I was genuinely impressed by the staff's enthusiasm. They were friendly and quick to help, even organizing a late-night bike mechanic for me. That really saved my trip!

Location

The hotel is conveniently located near many food stalls, though the dining options were quite repetitive, mostly frying chicken and rice.

Dining

I found the breakfast options unclear and could have benefited from more local cuisine choices. I might have been better off ordering room service.

Facilities

The overall facilities were basic, with poorly maintained corridors and a lack of cleanliness that detracted from the experience.

Dining options were limited, with basic food at the hotel, but I discovered a fantastic warung across the street that served the best fried noodles I've ever tasted (definitely a highlight!).

The large pool was a great way to cool off, although it could get crowded and messy at times (especially when school groups were around).

My stay at Palm Bondowoso was a mixed bag. While the huge swimming pool and relaxed vibe were good, my room was a bit outdated and not very clean. I really appreciated the attentive staff and the delicious food, but my experience with the driver arranged by the hotel left much to be desired, which I found quite distressing.

Rooms
