Great for a short stay

We stayed at Bromo Permai hotel the night before departing for Mount Bromo. The hotel is located very near to the entrance of mount bromo itself which is convenient. The room was also big enough to accommodate all our trekking gear. Breakfast was basic and could be better.

Right next to volcano. Good enough for location.

The location is everything with this place. It is just inside the gate of the Bromo National park and you can, just barely, see the volcano from a platform behind the hotel rooms. There is no heat in the rooms and it can get cold. The rooms are also not very clean. There are also limited resources and the staff really do not speak English even if the website indicates they do. There is also a nightly ritual of everyone getting going at 3 or 4 AM to dash off to see the sunrise and it is loud. In fact it is loud all night long and walls are thin and sleep was hard to be had.I had a fabulous time and found it fine, but I am a backwoods camper and don't have very high demands for creature comforts in this kind of setting. I am not sure if other places nearby would be better.

Location, location, location

This hotel is literally just good for it's location. The staff are friendly and speak ok English which certainly helped however the rooms were dreadful with unclean and damp beds and insects throughout the room.

With all of that said, it pays to spend 1 night here if you are on a budget and want to hike Mt Bromo as it's literally at the highest point you can go from an accommodation standpoint.

Best location to stay next to Mount Bromo

Smooth check-in, responsive hotel personnel with adequate toileteries, mattresses, etc and delivered promptly. However, quality and quantiy of food left much to be desired. The bathroom was below average and scalding hot water for shower (there was only one setting and you could not control the temperature). The wash basin was in the main bedroom. All extra expenses incurred have to be settled in cash or else, be prepared to pay extra 2.5% as credit card charges if paying through credit card.

Basic budget accommodation for single night stay

Staff really helpful arranging Jeep and taxi back to Probo (on tight schedule). Food was decent and room was OK for a night.

We watched the sunrise from Cemora Lawang - directly opposite the hotel. Very convenient and perfect for watching the changing face of Bromo as the sun rose. And we didn't have to trek in the dark with others.

We went to the crater after breakfast when most of the first trekkers had gone ... so it was quite pleasant and not crowded.

Also made time to go north of Bromo and walk the Sea of Sand for a good hour - nobody else, wonderfully quiet ...

Location great, rest ok.

Location was awesome - you cab just walk out of the hotel and sit on the railing to enjoy the view of the several craters! Due to its location it is definitely good to start walking from here to Bromo if you dont want to take/pay for the jeep. Room is simple, warm water is ok and food at the restaurant also ok. Overall had a lovely stay.

OK Place - Great Location

Well located very close to the caldera. The hotel is just inside the national park which means you have got to pay the park entrance before you can get to it. Note that if you are arriving at the weekend but aren't planning to visit the park proper until the Monday, you have to pay the higher weekend park entry fee.

Rooms are in rows of 'cottages' outside - has a bit of a feel of a holiday camp. The rooms are quite small, basic and quite dingy. Very dated but everything worked. Breakfast in the main building was good and the staff were friendly. Wifi in the main building was good but didn't extend as far as the cottages (at least not to mine).

Overall, OK.

Best hotel in the vicinity.

You'll have to expect a certain rural-ness since it's high up in the mountains. I believe that this is the best hotel (more of a chalet) that is closest to mount bromo.

The staff were friendly and provided great service. We were out early to catch the night sky and thereafter climbed up mountain bromo. Returned later in the morning past our breakfast timing, yet the staff did packed the breakfast for everyone of us.

We were even able to make last min food orders past their last ordering timing.

Cleanliness and comfort level of the rooms were decent with the unavoidable occasional insect visits. Nothing unbelievable and difficult to deal with if you're going on such trips.

Will definitely stay again if going back there.

Good location, but very overpriced

The room was very basic and definitely needed some maintenance. No WiFi in the room, only in the restaurant/lobby area. This would be a reasonable hotel by Indonesian standards, if not for the fact that they charge probably 10x what you should be paying for a room like that. Seems like most of the places in Bromo charge substantially higher for simple accommodation. Upside is that the breakfast was quite good and plentiful (buffet of nasi and mie goreng, toast, egg, banana, coffee/tea). In terms of location, it is beyond the point where a park ticket is required, so we had to buy a ticket to even get to the hotel. This is fine, unless you don't plan on visiting the crater.

Bromo was worth the Ordeal

Was not easy to get to the hotel, and when we finally arrived, the hotel staff informed us that the travel agent hotels.com works through has actually put us up in a different sister hotel, about 100m away. The rooms where we ended up were very basic cottages and it got cold at night. But in the end seeing Bromo was great, and the view from the hotel was awesome.

Pleasant staffs excellent view

The stay was really good. Despite all the negative points that I have heard, we experienced non of that. The staffs were very friendly and helpful. I even told the front office manager that having stayed here, I find many comments about this place are really unfair and unreasonable. They even made arrangement for another comfortable bed for a small price for the third person who stayed with us although our booking is only for two persons. Hot shower was consistent through out the day. Hot water for coffee and tea was provided without we having to boil it ourselves. The hotel also made arrangement for our early morning drive to Pananjakan without any hassle and the wake up call the next morning to travel to pananjakan was prompt and punctual The location was superb. The food was local and good and reasonably priced. Just about a great place to stay in a remote village far from Surabaya.

Great views, Great price, No need to book a tour

This hotel is in an excellent location and there some of the best views of Bromo and surrounds are from the hotel. After reading some poor reviews I did not have high expectations but I was pleasantly surprised when I arrived. The restaurant is cosy and served the best meal I had while I was in Java. The rooms were basic but fine for one night and there were enough blankets to stay warm. The best part was the location - we didn't need to arrange a tour. Simply just walk up the hill to Viewpoints #1 and #2. Then, we walked down to the Sea of Sand and across to the crater. We were finished by 9am and saved lots of money - no tour or transport costs. I would definately stay at this hotel again if I return to Bromo

The hotel is inside the Park gate, so it mean i need to paid the park entrance fees before enter the hotel. Afterward i use my hotel key as a prove to go in and out the gate for dinner and some grocery shopping.

It had some nice view just outside the hotel, and the hotel backyard too.

The water heater are using gas to heat up the water, so when it have strong gas smell and i do worry it get exploded

Great location

The location is great as it is situated just inside the Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park gate. The rooms are rather basic and thankfully the hot water works. We paid for an extra bed (which turned out to be just a mattress) which arrived 2 hrs later after we reminded them. Breakfast was ok. The room price was high and does not offer value for money. In the early morning, we were greeted by a wonderland of a million stars overhead as we headed for the Lookout Point at Mt Pernankakan.

Perfect for visiting Bromo

sunrise: we had to wake up at 3 o clock, we walked from the hotel with a guide (hotel stuff, but normally you get an external) for around 1,5 - 2 h. You can decide if you want to see the sunrise from the top of a mountain/platform or from another viewing platform which is not as high, but you have one big advantage: there arent that crowd of people that are on the top of the mountain and the view was fantastic!

Great location but hot showers still a problem

Great location at the edge of the caldera with views of Mt Bromo from the lookout area just across the road from the hotel. The check-in and out was fast, and service staff were polite and helpful. Our room was clean and we had no issues at all with the bedding (nice and clean) or the cold (a thick blanket is provided). The only thing that should really be looked into is the state of the hot showers (very inconsistent, one moment very cold, another very hot) as reported by many other travellers. Food is easily available either at hotel or a short walk away, and the start of walking trail to both the sunrise view or down to the sea of sand are nearby (just head down road and turn left at Y-junction towards Cemarah Indah Hotel).

Fairly clean. Beds had warm blankets and the sheets looked and smelled clean. The staff didn't complain when we put 3 people in a 2 person room.
Awesome location on the edge of the volcano!
The shower was totally wonky. It would stay hot for like 5 seconds at a time. Still, better than a cold shower!

Front office staff were helpful.

Food was pretty good. The pineapple pancake was the fluffiest I've ever had in Asia. :)

Bring ear plugs, it gets pretty noisy after 3am as people head out to see the sunrise.

Hotel viejo y pésimo desayuno por no reponer.

El hotel está muy viejo y tiene una mala calidad relación precio. El mobiliario y las instalaciones tendrán más de 40 años y hasta el cuarto de baño está igual. Lo peor el desayuno, el horario es de 7 a 10 y llegamos sobre las 9 horas. En esos 30 minutos que estuvimos, hasta las 9,30 h, pese a no quedar de casi nada apenas sacaron cosas, cada vez que preguntaba me contestaba que no me preocupase que ahora lo sacaban. Tardaron Unos 15 minutos en sacar pan, pero tampoco les quedaba mermelada. Una cosa es que no sobre comida, y otra es que no pongan nada y más ingresos para el hotel.

Dichtbij Bromo als je alleen een slaapplek zoekt

Het hotel ligt op een prima locatie voor een bezoek aan de Bromo. Vanaf het terrein van het hotel heb je mooi uitzicht op de Bromo en kun je de wandeling starten.
Het hotel zelf is ons erg tegengevallen. Het is koud bovenop de berg en zo is het ook in de hotelkamer, het tocht, er is geen verwaming en geen warm water. Wifi is alleen bij het restaurant beschikbaar en ook niet altijd goed. De kamer is erg eenvoudig en is eigenlijk alleen te gebruiken om te slapen.
Het hotelpersoneel spreekt zeer beperkt Engels en lijkt het allemaal niet zoveel uit te maken, wat vooral erg vervelend was toen een van ons ziek was.

Het hotel is prima als je alleen een slaapplek zoekt, maar verwacht niet veel meer (onze ervaring is misschien wat negatiever doordat een van ons ziek was en we geen ondersteuning van het hotelpersoneel hebben ervaren).

good place to stay

The hotel is inside the national park, so you have to pay the entrance fee immediately (220k). But you can spend as much time as you want at Bromo because is it walking distance. Just go down the road and there is Sea of Sand, go directly to the temple and you can see the stairs up to Bromo. I think you can walk to sunrise point too, but we choose tour for that. It's cost 450k/car (short tour include crater too) and you can reserve in the hotel, just like the transfer to Probolinggo train station (450k/car). Both were in time. The accomodation is good, simple, the shower is next to toilet, not separate, but we could handle it. We didn't have water at the evening, but they fixed it immediately. Breakfast was is buffet style and was delicious (indonesian food)

Tolle Lage, ansonsten Schrecklich

Wenn man weiß was einen erwartet, ist es vermutlich die komfortablste Wahl am Bromo. Das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis ist jedoch schrecklich. Die Zimmer werden nur oberflächlich geputzt (unter den Betten lag noch einiges von vorigen Gästen). Im Raum ist eine schräg geflieste Fläche auf der man sehr leicht ausrutscht in Socken. Habe mir dabei ordentlich weggetan.
Die Angestellten lachten und redeten ausgelassen morgens um sieben vor unserem Zimmer.
Das warme Wasser funktioniert oft nicht und dann muss man erst zur Rezeption gehen und sich beschweren, danach ging es dann bei uns wieder.
Insgesamt eine Frechheit dafür so viel Geld zu verlangen, das entschuldigt auch die Lage nicht. Ich würde nicht wieder kommen, weil ich ein solches Unternehmen nicht unterstützen möchte!

Perfecte lokatie voor bezoek aan de Bromo.

Prima hotel. Kamers zijn basic, daar hadden we ook voor gekozen. Goed restaurant, lekker ontbijt na de vermoeiende trip naar het Bromo viewpoint en de krater. Om bij het hotel te komen moet je een lange, smalle en slechte weg rijden. Na de slagboom ligt direct het hotel. Entreeprijs voor Bromo gebied was pittig. Buiten het hotel een chauffeur geregeld. Je kunt ook in het hotel een auto regelen. Goede warme kleding mee en een mondmasker is geen overbodige luxe als je naar de krater gaat.

basic hotel with perfect location

The rooms there are very basic, beds are not really comfortable, furniture is old-fashioned. There is a sink in the bedroom and the bathroom has a toilet and a shower (water was just warm, not hot). Our room wasn't really dirty, but not really clean either. The sheets seemed to be clean but the bedcover was rather filthy. There is no heating and it gets pretty cold at night. The blankets there were just enough to keep warm, so make sure you bring warm clothes (also for the sunrise tour!!). So all in all, it's not really cozy there.
BUT: This hotel is located right at the edge of the crater, which is the biggest plus point. From there you can easily do the sunrise tour in the early morning. You have to get up at 3am anyway, so the night in the cold room is short. After the sunrise tour you can have breakfast (basic, but ok), take a shower and then leave.
Given the fact that you are in a mountain village at 2200m a.s.l., at the edge of a crater, you can't expect to find an extravagant hotel there. I think, this is the best you can get! That's why I would definitely recommend staying there, but only for one night (to do the sunrise tour).
