Firstly Asia rooms do a very good job giving the best possible deals and information they can prior to booking a stay. The Grand Preanger may have been 'Grand' once upon a time but the two room we used were both in need of a substantial 'facelift'. The food in the restuarnt was of a high standard and the due to a quiet time the service also very good, breakfast buffet excellent. Disappointed that the triple room was not a true triple for the 3 adult booked a double room plus an added bed not my idea of giving everyone in the room the same quality bedding. Overall 3/5 is a fair rating and the star rating should be no more than a 4 at the most as this is not up to the 5 star rating of other a number of other hotels we have stayed in within Asia.

| "We booked the hotel thinking that we could walk to all the major shopping areas since it is supposed to be centered right in the city. Well, let just say that we have to take the taxi each time we go out-be it a 7 mins drive to Dago Street or a 15-20 mins ride to Paris Van Java. And, the hotel does not have any local map to offer, so, we are kinda lost figuring out our bearings. The buffet breakfast was nothing to shout about, and the bathroom is miserable for a supposedly 5 star hotel and the room is old. And for the price we paid-USD78 per night, we supposed other hotels with choice location is a better bet. Will probably not stay in this hotel again. " |

| "Like many Indonesian hotels, this one really needs to go through a thorough renovation. Looks like its stuck in some 80's time warp. Nevertheless very friendly & helpful staff and the decent cafe fare sat well with us. Liked the idea of the pool but it was small and more ornamental than utility. Disregarding the aging decor, room and bathroom were decent-sized. Would have appreciated more reading light and a clock in the room. Hotel location was more financial / business than touristic, with no shops in sight. " |

| "While the Reception Staff's grasp of English is somewhat basic, they are most attentive and friendly- I was welcomed with a cup of ginger tea! Facilities are fine and the breakfast selection is extensive for the western palate. The only drawback is the lack of carpeting in corridors which makes for 'tunnel noise'- I had noisy children playing outside the room and the sound was quite penetrating. Ask for a quiet room if such exists! The Lobby is large with secluded seating areas and there was a pianist in the evenings providing nice ambience. While not 5 star it is value for money and within walking distance of both the shopping malls and 'colourful' areas and restaurants in the other direction." |
