Don't stay here
I had reserved a standard room here, without realizing that standard rooms lack basic facilities such as shower. So I had to upgrade, considering the upgrade cost I could have stayed at a nicer hotel with better facilities. Even the upgraded room was rather basic (it did have AC, shower etc. but that's about it). The bathroom basin leaked even in the upgraded room. One has to pay 2 $ for 4 hours in this hotel, and the speed even after the payment is awful. Note that many public facilities at Malang and even some other places near it but lesser known offer free Wifi with decent speed at public facilities. I got free Wifi at a restaurant near Tosari with decent speed, I also got one in the lesser known Singosari (at Miami fried chicken). So all in all there is no reason why a hotel than charges about 30 $ for its room won't offer free Wifi at a decent speed. The hotel arranged a car for local sight seeing at Malang, the Singosari temples and onward journey to Cemoro Lawu. They charged me 85 $ for this trip, and asked for a deposit of 20 $ the previous night, which seems a bit unusual in Java particularly given that I was staying at the hotel. The cost for the trip seems rather high though I didn't have time to sample prices elsewhere in Malang for the same trip ; I have however hired cars for several days elsewhere in Yogyakarta. All in all, I would give this hotel a miss.
