Novotel Hotels in Surakarta

This my second stay in last 2 months, just havent got chance to wrote some review. We stay for 2 nights on each occasions, i bring my wife, 3 kids below 9 and my mom. We book executive room, which has small livinv room with couch. Good room size, clean, bright, comfy bed and couch (can accomodate for 1 adult to sleep), but Pillow is too hard so i ask for replacement. Bathroom was also clean and has nice ambience, aminity was okay. Check in and check out process was fast and efficient, staff was kind and attentive. Swimming pool size was good, no slides etc but its okay. I tried their room delivery bfast and buffet. Buffet serve various menu but taste wise is average. In room dining serve good portion and menu variety (i choose american breakfast). The only minus point is locations, surrounded by bus and train station in bit strander area so we need car to reach nearest restaurant or supermarket. But it should be not a problem if you brought car. To conclude everythung, we love our stay in this hotel and it become our favorite in Solo. We usually stayed in Alila but now we prefer Swisbel hotel.

For the first time that im felt very uncomfortable staying at the hotel. First, when you arrived at the hotel, there is no parking lot for all the hotel customer, security only give you direction to park beside the hotel but you should find the parking lot by yourself, and when you want to use your car which is located deep inside parking lot, the security too lazy to help you getting your car out. The bed sheet is stinky and full of dirt. The room service doesnt wait for you to get to the elevator, instead they are going first and you as the hotel customer have to wait another elevator to arrived. Ah, the lobby and almost every corridor of the hotel is too dim.

First time stay in Ibis style with familly its good sevice from reception already prepare for birthday cake for my princess, from HK also always give the fast service for the breakfast its enought delicious and many choise i hope can get bigger room for next stay ,:)) but over all Ibis style solo ITS worthit to leisure..love it

Solia Hotel's location is quite strategic, near Solo Balapan train station, food scene and easy to get anywhere from there. Check-in process wasn't smooth, but it is totally understandable because the hotel was fully booked and many guests came at the same time. But hopefully the management can anticipate this and do better in the next holiday season. The lobby is a beautiful Javanese old building, pleasantly scented, the staffs were friendly and helpful. The rooms are located on the newer building on the back. They provide traditional beverages for welcome drinks. The room was clean, water and AC worked well. Bed and pillow were comfortable although there were some stains and holes on the bedsheets. Door handles of balcony almost broke because of its unusual way to open and close (though the management has stuck the instructions on the door). This hotel is recommended for those whose in budget and need centrally located hotel.

After driving for more than 10 hours from Bali, we arrived in Solo at Loji Hotel around 4pm by that time. No security available to give us some instructions where we can park, eventhough we saw 2 man sitting at the security office at front. We have to call them very loud to show us where we can park our car. Coz by that time the parking lot was full. We were expecting get a good service, nice room, because we pay IDR 534.649/night with breakfast for Deluxe room. We stay here on the 26th December 2019 and check out on the 27th December 2019. Actually we want to extend the room, but we changes our mind after overnight here with uncomfortable feeling. The problem was : 1. They asking us, do we need a smoking room, we said yes please. We were expecting a balcony or at least we can open the window, but at the end, the smoking room not have any window or balcony for smoking. 2. The AC are so noisy all day long and also the AC is leaking very bad until makes our bag get wet, coz we put underneath the AC. 3. The fan in the bathroom wasn't work well. And very very noisy! 4. The shower looks like never get cleaned for many years. Full of crust. 5. The bathroom is a bit smell and not have a good circulation. 6. We found a blood stain on the blanket, so we asking to changes the cover or blanket. The good point is, the breakfast is nice. That's all. We coming here to Java Island actually to do an inspection, what's the Island looks like. How clean and comfortable are the accomodation here. Coz we have a tour and service. We have to know all the standard service here before we give any recommendations or bring our customers to come here. And we found a very expensive hotel with a low service. In Bali, the hotel with this price, the service, the room are way nicer. I don't know how the standard service in Java. So far the city that we have visited in Java, has very low hotel standard but they ask for 5 star hotel price. Amazing right. If Loji Hotel can upgrade their service level to be better than now, I will recommend this hotel. But for now, we are sorry, this hotel is not recommended. Hopefully the Manager read all the review and do some maintenance also the service. Thank you.

An attractive hotel to visit, has adequate facilities, is in the middle of the city, a plus for this hotel

i came here alone for meeting, so i stay alone in a big room . they have big bed, big curtain, big old mirror that facing to bathroom . actually, i've heard that they have 2 types of building, the old one and the new one . but i knew it late. if you stay here alone, i recommend you to request to stay in the new building. except you want mystical experience.. i didnt found any mystical creatures, but the ambience says it all . in the end . this is a nice staying . because i still can sleep there . in a big size of bed .

Zest Solo, one of the newest 2-star hotels in the city of Surakarta. Its location in Manahan, the parking lot can be quite steep and narrow, fortunately the hotel offers free valet parking facilities. The lobby is a standard size with a modern interior. The room size is quite spacious and comfortable for a 2 star, equipped with benches, chairs and simple work desks. The mattress size 100x200 is comfortable enough with 1 pillow each per mattress. For the zest rooms, all of them are twin. They can set Hollywood but they are only attached and still easy to move, so it's not comfortable. In the room, they provide complimentary 2 bottles of 600 ml mineral water, and a dispenser for refilling mineral water at the corridor. The bathroom uses a head shower and faucet. For shampoo and bath gel, use a 2 in 1 dispenser system, no toothbrush is provided so it is better to bring your own. The wifi speed is not good, fortunately the TV shows are clear. There is also a room service menu that is affordable. Overall the rooms are quite comfortable because the condition of the hotel is still new and still well maintained. For breakfast, you can say the taste can be enjoyed and the variants are quite complete, there are pecel, yellow rice, bacem tofu, green bean porridge, indomie corner, egg corner, fried noodles, guava and orange juice, sliced fresh fruit and pudding. Unfortunately i see some people walking around, picking some food not using mask, i hope they can apply the health protocol strictly

Good for the price I like this place is good and comfy thank
