Hospitality at its finest!!!

We all are very impressed with how well the hotel is run. Among 5-star hotels in Surabaya and Jakarta, this hotel is the best and service truly stands out.

Room service was prompt and courteous, the Executive Lounge offered excellent food, drinks, and personalized attention, and breakfast at the Pavilion was outstanding.

This hotel was recommended to me. I got a good rate and the propery pitures looked good. From the moment i walked in it was obvious this was a quality hotel. Top quality service from start to finish. I was offer an upgrade for $50/night, i decided to take it since i was only staying 2 nights. I'm not sure but i believe my room was better, i used the executive lounge which i really enjoyed. The fitness centre i didn't use but i should've. I can't say enough about the staff. The hotel will even offer a take away breakfast if you asked.

Great hotel! But with cigarette smell in our room

In general, the hotel was nice. The staff were attentive and the service was excellent. Good selection of local cuisine at breakfast which we enjoyed. Only issue was the periodic smell of cigarette smoke in our room even though our room was a non-smoking room. This could have come from either the aircon vents or the service stairwell which was directly opposite our room.

Just average

Stayed one night at the deluxe room with city view.The room was average. Carpet floor looks old and need upgrade. Bed mattress were not in great condition. AC was not cool enough, they ended up sending technicians to fix it. Definitely an old hotel that need new touch up.
Liked their marble bathroom and really enjoyed the food at the Pavilion restaurant. Waiters at the Pavilion were super friendly. Overall, it did not meet the standard to be called a 5 stars hotel.

Excellent Stay!! The staff were outstanding. I was impressed with this hotel on how well the staff were trained. The staff remembered what we liked and our preferences. All our needs, met with a smile. We stayed for a week and literally were treated like royalty. The head chef and sous chef visited us daily for breakfast with different items to try. The buffet breakfast here is outstanding. Not just a continental but a full brunch style buffet. Delicious!

We tried the other restaurants as well. We liked the Chinese restaurant and new bakery especially.

We had massages at the spa and it was wonderful.

Would definitely stay there again!

What I didn't like was the lack of communication to guests. Due to new year's eve celebrations the ballroom entrance was used as the hotel's entrance instead without any prior notification so it confused guests and drivers. Then there was a shuttle service which we weren't even aware about. We stumbled on it by chance. On checkout they then moved the reception to a makeshift one located at the ballroom again without notifying guests. Only a small sign was put up to redirect guests to the makeshift one. It wasn't at all a pleasant experience staying here. The lobby was chaotic, reeked of cigarette smoke, and the overall flow is haphazard. This puts the JW Marriott brand to shame!

A perfect stay you could ever ask for

As I was planning to celebrate my anniversary day, I really wanted to create a surprise and special one for my spouse. In my mind, Marriott has always come up first for any special occasion that requires the true 5-star standard. If they can't/don't/wouldn't do it then nobody else can/would.

Lo and behold, they really did it above and beyond my expectation. They gave us room with the best view we could ask for and decorated it with roses on the bed and bathtub and cute towel folding.

It didn't stop here, I had made a dinner reservation at Vis-à-Vis restaurant downstairs and they really gave us special treatment. The food and service was top notch! Shout to Ms. Erna.

Our stay was capped with the buffet breakfast at the Pavilion restaurant. I love all the dishes I tried there. The manager even made an effort to greet each table. He also happened to be at some of stations I came by and explained the dishes very well too.

- The bed and pillows were very comfortable.
- The room was pretty big.
- The linens were clean and crisp.
- The bedroom and bathroom were very clean.
- The extra decoration and welcome snack were nice touches.
- The expansive city view from wall to wall was amazing.
- The service from all staff was very courteous.
- The hotel location is right smack in the middle of city center surrounded by shopping centers.

All of these really made my surprise night for her a reality effortlessly!

The room i was in looked as though it had not been high dusted in months. You can see the dust hanging off the ledges. Bathroom shower grout was coming up in chunks, bathroom wall near toilet could use a little TLC because it looked like someone blew there nose and it was hard on the wall. Also the air conditioning would not get the room cold like it used to in the past when ive stayed at the Marriott.

Spending the extra money for the room upgrade was not worth it. Last time my wife and i had food poisoning from the buffet dinner and this time the room was far from what the hotel used to be. Sorry to say this will be the last time i stay with the J.W. Marriott. Staff supervisor or managers need to do there rounds more and check rooms that are empty and make sure they are cleaned properly.

Good location with privacy

5 mins to Tunjungan Plaza, 10mins to the famous President Ayam Goreng stall. Location is perfect with some privacy. Most connected to any malls but yet the largest mall is within 5 mins walk.

This is my second time staying in this hotel. It did not disappoint me. In fact, the staffs even help to decorate the room for my fren’s birthday surprise. I’m thankful for the extra mile they went.

From the moment you step into the hotel, you will be warmly greeted by the security to the reception. The whole check in process is smooth. However if you are booking via Expedia or any third party agent, it will be better if you email the hotel directly with the booking number if you have any specific requirements like double bed or king bed, high floor and so on.

Room was pleasantly nice. The room is spacious and cozy. I love the bathtub. It was clean and inviting. The housekeeper did a good job of maintaining the room. Thumbs up to them.

Breakfast was a spread. From international to local food. It was pretty worth the money.
