Basic accommodation, unhelpful staff (they charge for everything, even borrowing a hairdryer) but the location is wonderful and I guess that’s what you pay for.

Good base for exploring Mount Bromo

Hotel is one of the few properties available for travellers to Mount Bromo. The property has a good viewing area of the crater and the Sea of Sand, although it is not necessary to be a guest to access the view point. There is a horse trail that starts adjacent to the property that leads down to the Sea of Sand, which is convenient for those wishing to access the crater via foot (but beware of rangers who will ask to pay the park fee of approximately 220k IDR.

In terms of comfort, the room I was provided was fairly basic. It had two beds and a washroom. The washroom did provide hot water and a sit toilet, which was a good creature comfort. I don't think there was central heating (didn't look) but the covers were plenty warm for me at night.

Wifi was only available in the restaurant/lobby. I didn't bother using it as I had a SIM card, and can access the internet in my room.

The breakfast buffet included with the room was actually better than expected. It had quite a bit of variety: fried rice, fried noodles, vegetable soup, omelettes, sliced watermelon, coffee, tea, orange juice. It was all very basic but a good bonus.

Overall, the property was a good place to stay. It was a good base for accessing Mount Bromo and the sunrise view points. The property was basic but adequate for a night or two's stay to explore Mount Bromo.

Lovely place but need more touch up and system

Location was awesome, service is really pretty good but too many sales pitching throughout the stay. From jacket rentals to trips recommendations, be prepared to get the questions coming whenever you see the guys on the hotel compound.

Don’t believe the bad reviews

This hotel is what it is - it’s not 5* and it’s not luxury but what it is is a charming cottage style hotel with the best view of Bromo! It is also next to the secret passage down to the sea of sand which avoids you paying the ‘entrance fee’ to Bromo. Yes it’s cold, you’re on a mountain so don’t expect heating for £30 a night but you get a cosy blanket and duvet. The bathroom has an actual toilet which is more than many of the others have but the shower is a hose in the wall which we didn’t use. The breakfast was tasty, classic rice, noodles and omelette with tea coffee and juice. All in all I would say stay here if you are going to mt Bromo and if you want luxury forget it as you won’t find it in this tiny village in the middle of no-where but that adds to the charm!

Good location but not clean.

Cleanliness in room needs to be improved badly but overall property is just alright. Main reason of our stay here is the location which is the closest (though the furthest from train station) to Mt.Bromo and can see it from here too. Food is better than expected.

Disgusting Flea Pit

Avoid like the plague. Disgusting filthy pit. Good points - Location is the closet to sunrise, only 25 minutes away but that’s where it ends.
Bad points - Rooms and linen filthy as for the bathroom cleaner outside room than in. Hose for shower - cold. Mound everywhere. Take a longer drive up in the morning if you still want your companion to speak to you after your arrival. Breakfast - 2 choices of cold rice or some other concoction prepared by someone who has no clue of what they are doing. Take some food with you or stave until you find a better venue. My advice is pot noodle style if you require hot food as there is a kettle, but take 3 litres of water to clean it out first. We got ther at 10 pm so only 3 hrs there before we set off to sunrise. So thankfully I didn’t need to use the bed. I sat outside as didn’t want to catch any infection from the room. In a nutshell leave well alone - you have been warned.

Good view of the volcano

The room was a bit damp, the staff hassle you to rent a coat (\"Mount Bromo so cold...\"), but it's probably one of the best located places to see Mount Bromo. On the plus side, the manager speaks good English and can arrange transport to Mount Bromo and taxis, buses, etc. back to the rest of Indonesia.

A hotel within walkable distance to Mt Bromo

The hotel was extremely difficult for our taxi driver to locate. We arrive at the hotel after 6 hours and with the help of a police officer. The counter staff was efficient. We were given the room key very quickly.

The only facility in the hotel is the restaurant. It was nearly full when we arrived. The menu was reasonable in terms of price and variety. Dessert, beer and coffee were available.

The room was cleaned. The beds were comfortable. It was a little noisy as we were close to the road.

Great location, but extremely moldy room

The beds did not have a top sheet- had to go ask for one- which seemed not very sanitary with the well-used looking blankets. The ceiling is has tiles made of some kind of fiber that is covered in black mold. I don't usually give bad reviews, but I thought the mold was very unhealthy. Apparently other hotels of this price range have the same problem around here.

Too expensive

We booked on hotels.com, but when we arrived the hotel was full. They put us in a homestay...but didn't even tell us anything. Our room had a small bed, no hot water, and a squat toilet, and no sink. However, the staff were kind and helped us arrange a trip to Ijen. I would not recommend as it's far too expensive for what you get.

Amazing views, friendly staff

I decided to stay here despite some reviews mentioning cleanliness, lack of hot water etc.
I had an amazing stay here - the room was clean and the shower was hot (although it did lack water pressure...more of a trickle, but still able to be useful)
The staff were very friendly and helpful. Most of the people tried to sell you a jeep ride and sunrise tour. I wanted to hike, and the path was very easy to follow and find the viewpoint (about 90 mins from the hotel)
The best part was definitely the view. Sitting right on the cliff face, the hotel and many of the rooms have awesome views of Mt Bromo.

Just gross. It's extremely overpriced for what they provide, no need to book in advance, take your chances on whatever else you find when you get there. Dingy, Dark, and Dirty --> First room they gave me, the key wouldn't come out of the rusty lock so I needed to change. Second room was better but light blew out next morning.

Non-professional staff

I arrived in the hotel in heavy rain. I booked the jeep tour of next morning. I said I will join the tour if the weather is fine next morning. I confirmed the tour twice toward the hotel staff. I said I will pay next morning. I did not pay in advance because you can't see anything in bad weather. I went to the front desk next morning and found my tour was cancelled. Bad experience and lousy service! Tour price: 125000 Rp each including view point I and Mt. Bromo climbing.

Great location, shame about the room

The location is excellent, and if it is wasn't for the price, I wouldn't be bothered about the room. But at the prices we were paying, I'd expect the shower to work. The hot water never came out at a rate more than a dribble, and even that kept on cutting out. It would been more effective to have filled the sink with water from the kettle, and poured cups of water over my head, but the sink had no plug.
Still, if you can go without a shower, and don't mind a very soft bed, the location is great, with excellent views, and the staff can arrange transport from the airport.

Great location, good decor, good breakfast

We checked in late at night at the hotel and the staff was kind enough to get us packed dinner from an eatery down the road. They also arranged a shared 4WD to the sunrise point at a reasonable price. Finally having a good breakfast with a view of Mt. Bromo and Mt. Batok was truly an experience. The hotel has good decor but then it charges quite a bit for all this. No complaints.

Hotel cher pour des draps sales mais bien placé

Le pire hôtel de notre séjour en Indonésie mais il est très bien placé sur le bord du cratère du Bromo ce qui permet d'accéder au point de vue pour le lever du soleil à pieds, sans être obligé de prendre une land Rover. Draps sales (1 seul, salle de bain réduite au minimum mais avec de l'eau chaude . Petit déj et restaurant pas terrible. On paie la situation au bord du cratère

Struttura appena sufficiente, Solo x poche ore

Struttura vecchiotta, buona solo x dormire poche ore prima della visita al vulcano Bromo. Camera (deluxe) minimamente pulita e fredda. Ottima la posizione con vista al cratere. Il ristorante non è piaciuto, ne come cena, men che meno la colazione. In conclusione non so se esista di meglio nei pressi del vulcano.

Es el punto de partida de las rutas con Jeep. Restaurante del hotel es bueno y tiene unas vistas increibles. Las instalaciones del hotel son antiguas y básicas pero sin duda es el mejor alojamiento si quereis pasar una noche en el bromo.

Non c’e molta alternativa...

Se cercate un albergo a due passi da dove parte il sentiero per salire a vedere l’alba sul monte Bromo, questo albergo fa per voi. Certo, le camere sono spartanissime, la pulizia e lo stato di manutenzione lasciano a desiderare, al mattino non c’è la doccia calda, ma in compenso avrete una colazione tipicamente indonesiana (a base di riso e noodle) e uno staff gentilissimo. Se volete noleggiare un passaggio in moto per salire sul cratere o se vi serve una giacca pesante per affrontare il freddo dell’alba, chiedete al titolare. Tanto di capelli anche al servizio online di risponditore (tramite Expedia, unico modo per contattare l’albergo) che con molta professionalità e cortesia ci ha procurato un autista da/per Probolinggo/Banyuwangi.

Posizione comoda all'interno della riserva

L'hotel non è niente di che, ma nella zona non credo ci possano essere hotel o sistemazioni molto differenti. Ideale per un breve soggiorno. Io ci sono stato una notte con la mia ragazza per vedere l'alba al Bromo. L'hotel ha delle camere grandi, con l'acqua calda per fare la doccia ma con un flusso molto debole. la notte fa molto freddo, nonostante le coperte di lana noi abbiamo dormito vestiti. Il personale è poco presente perché generalmente le persone che passano per questi hotel alloggiano solo per una notte o al massimo 2. La colazione non è male, mista dolce e salato e con la possibilità di farla all'aperto con una bellissima vista sul Bromo.

traumhafte Lage am Bromo

Von diesem Hotel waren wir wirklich positiv überrascht; man darf ein Hotel in der Nähe eines Vulkans natürlich nicht mit den Annehmlichkeiten von Stadt- oder Strandhotels vergleichen, sondern sollte den Vergleich vielmehr mit einer Berghütte (man befindet sich ja auch auf ca. 2.000 m Höhe) anstellen. Die Unterkunft ist demensprechend einfach; unsere Zimmer waren aber sauber; alle Mitarbeiter waren sehr freundlich; das Essen im Restaurant ist gut (für eine Berghütte sogar sehr gut..) und der Blick am Abend ist einfach umwerfend! Insofern ist der Preis auch ok
