Bromo Permai 1

It is said that the conditions in the Volcano Village are very poor, there is no hot water and some hotels are full of group tourists. I chose a less popular one, which was surprisingly cost-effective and relatively quiet. The key is that there is plenty of hot water (I later went to eastern Indonesia and found out that hot water is not a standard in Indonesia. Many local hotels in Indonesia only provide cold water for showers). The beef soup for dinner is simple but the taste is not bad. I just need to translate the menu on my phone. The hotel is at the beginning of the village. We asked the hotel to help us book a chartered car. The driver had a few words with the toll collector at the entrance of the village, but he didn't collect the entrance fee from us anyway. The hardware conditions are a bit like the guesthouses in China in the 1980s and 1990s, and there are flies and so on. It is normal for Indonesia, and it is definitely not comparable to China. Our itinerary in Surabaya changed significantly due to flight changes. We contacted the hotel via WhatsApp, just typing in English. The hotel was very responsible and helped to re-arrange the driver to pick us up from Surabaya Airport to Saiwu and then take us to the hotel. The next day, they recommended a reliable jeep driver to watch the sunrise. The price was the standard charter price without any extra charges (departed from the hotel at 3 o'clock and arrived at Kingkong Hill at 4 o'clock, which was much more comfortable than tossing from Surabaya Airport overnight). Not far from the hotel is the entrance to the active volcano. After we came down from the crater, the driver only drove us back to the hotel in 5 minutes. If you don't want to get up early, I think you can walk to the street park across the street from the hotel to look at the sunrise of the volcano, which is more or less visible.

Promised American breakfast but given 2 slices of bread, 2 boiled eggs and a banana

A little bit cruder.
