Family-friendly Hotels in East Bogor

I stayed at this hotel for an office event. I do not know for what consideration I was placed in a smoking room. As soon as I entered the room, I felt suffocated because the smell of cigarettes was so strong. I tried calling the front office, but the phone didn't work. As a result I had to get off the 10th floor, after waiting for the elevator to go up to the 10th floor for 5 minutes, and to get back down I had to wait another 5 minutes. What a waste of time. Finally I was able to move rooms, fortunately it was still available. The elevator is a bit wobbly when used, like it's in an earthquake and this is a bit scary. The food is quite varied, although the taste is just standard. The room floor is a thick carpet, but unfortunately not cleaned. I know the carpet in my room wasn't cleaned during my 3 day stay, because the position of the chair remained the same and the pieces of tissue on the carpet were still there. It looks like the curtains haven't been cleaned for a long time either. I still feel the dust sticking to every cloth in the room. Many of the furniture has been damaged by time and may need repair. Likewise with the lobby carpet and on the very worn carpet stairs, please clean it. The lobby parking lot is very congested, the paving blocks are disturbing because of the holes and the exits are very congested. The only thing that makes this hotel chosen by people is because of its location in the middle of the city. For a hotel this old, the rate is too expensive. Hopefully there will be improvement from management.

Formerly known as Hotel Pakuan Bogor and having major renovations and joint the Sahira Hotel chain. The hotel turns cleaner and bigger with additional proper size swimming pool. They have 2 pools, with the old one is in smaller size near the restaurant. This hotel has a shabby chic design dominated with white color furniture and floral print headboard. The room lighting is bright enough, but they have small inroom tv. No fridge. For moslem, they provide praying kits and Quran. The aircon works good, as well as the hot water shower. But the toilet smell and its cleanliness were the issues. No separator in the shower nor shower curtain, made the water splashed everywhere. They using rainfall shower head, which was good. The bedding is acceptable, but the cleanliness need some improvement. Their restaurant is the strength point, which most of their menu were good. If you like spicy, then you should try their homemade chilli. The staffs were good and friendly. The hotel location is in the middle of the city which easy to access almost everywhere. And there are numbers of good cafes in the neighborhood. If this hotel improves their inroom and bathroom cleanliness, I wouldn't mind to consider giving a 5 stars.
