Small Yet Mesmerizing
This hotel named Petit Boutique is located in Pasar Kliwon, Solo, Central Java. This european style hotel is a 3 stars hotel with a minimalist style, the room even the lobby was small. The price is cheap it’s around 260-350k IDR depends on what day you’ll stay, usually, on saturday night, the room will costs higher, but it’s really worth to try. The room was clean, neat, and there’s no stain nor bad smell in the room. Although the signal of the television might be bad, but it’s not a big deal for me. It’s really a cool place to go and worth the price.#mytripvlog
