Semarang hotels & places to stay

plus: hotel's location is nice, close to food stalls, beds are spacious, refrigerators in every rooms, the staffs also helped us when we asked for a packing box,they even provided the scissors & tape, thank you,we really appreciate it. but, when we tried to order food from the restaurant and decided to order 'capjay soup', the restaurant staffs didn't ask if we like it spicy/not, and when the capjay came, it was spicy. it doesn't even written in the menu if the capjay is spicy. we never thought that a capjay will be spicy,so we didn't mention it. i can't eat spicy, because i had a chronic maag condition. finally after some debates, the staffs decided to change it into a non-spicy-capjay. also, the hotel staffs almost fined us for smoking in the room, i was so shocked. none of us are smokers, we even traveled with infant, how can we smoke in the room with an infant. when i first entered the room,i do smell cigarettes in the room,but i refused to complain because i saw a non-smoking sign inside the room and also a smoke detector,so I thought noone would smoke inside the room. i will complain in the first place, if i knew we will treated like that. fortunately, the staffs are communicative and finally they didn't fine us for the thing we didn't do,of course. so,i will rate only 3 stars, instead of 5, i do honestly almost rate this hotel 5 stars.. so sorry.. but,yeah this is a good hotel & staffs quality can be improved. we will come back again when we visit semarang.

Decided to book the hotel for a short visit to Semarang. Called for an airport transfer, and apparently the service was free of charge. The concierge (who picked me up) was extremely polite and very friendly, I was very impressed. The check-in process only took 5 minutes, and when I went to the room, it was already air-conditioned (love it). The room was very clean and tidy, with a view to the city. It’s located about 300 meters from Paragon Mall, the hippest mall in Semarang. The breakfast buffett, however, needs an upgrade. Some of the food was a bit tasteless.

Stay at one of Santika hotels was always give us a pleasure experience, staffs were very friendly, they always greet us whenever run to one of them, room was perfect, hotel amenities was also complete. Check in and out process was easy and there are Gramedia book shop besides the hotel. Only 5 minutes walk to Simpang Lima and near to Pandanaran souvenirs center. It was really enjoying experience to stay at Santika Premier Semarang, surely will recommend to my friends and looking forward to stay there again whenever I go to Semarang.

My wife and I have been regulars at the Ciputra Hotel in Semarang for the past 5 years. We have never left the hotel thinking, "boy, they could have done better on ..." Absolutely wonderful service, the rooms are always clean and tidy. We have always found the staff very attentive and friendly. We have stayed at many of the Hotels in Semarang over the years and always come back to Ciputra. The location couldn't be better. The lobby is attached to the door to the Ciputra Mall with just about everything you need. The Friday night Pool Side BBQ is a wonderful experience and the food is always great. The Breakfast is, by far, the best buffet in Semarang. Enjoy your stay, you will not be disappointed.

1st time my wife asking this hotel, i wonder is this a good hotel in Semarang? then when i come is have simple lobby, and good ambience, and front of the hotel is one of street for Semarangan food (Bandeng Presto, Wingko Babat,Lumpia etc). The Parking Space a lot, and the Facilities is great the best is the infinity pool and jacuzzi the Room are simple, modern style , and with great international channel

we stay at Novotel Hotel, Semarang for 5 nites. we felt very comfortable. really a cozy hotel that is located in the centre of the city. we can find foods, entertainment such as movie theatres, paragon mall (across the hotel) & supermarket nearby. and also near to the downtown. that's why when we've already stayed for 4 nites & we need to stay 1 more nite due to something important, we decided to extend our stay at Novotel Hotel. we found that all services are very good, delicious menu for breakfast and also pleasant situation in every floor. staffs hospitality also made us very comfortable to stay there. what we think aren't enough is size of swimming pool, included kid's pool & also pool side. we recommend this hotel to everyone who needs a very pleasant & comfortable stay in Semarang city.

It was a pleasure for me for staying at this hotel. Friendly staff, nice breakfast, super clean room. And of course very great air con. Since I traveled with infant. Good aircon is the most important thing. Although they claim to be 4 star hotel. But in my opinion this is 3 plus hotel. The only thing that bothered me a lot is Car parking Lot. There isnt enough space if the hotel fully booked. But still one of the best hotel that I sleep at Semarang

Located strategically in Semarang City-Center area, this 4-star hotel is one of the finest hotel in Semarang (IMHO). You can reach this hotel from Semarang Poncol Train Station with only max. 15-minutes walking and has an convenience store and malls nearby. The room was clean, nice, equipped with as standard as 4-star hotel (towels, sandals, hairdryer, refridgerator, safe-deposit box, etc.). The bathroom is clean and equipped with showers and complete amenities (soap, shampoo, dental kit, etc.). The staff were helpful and nice, and they give a free airport/train station transfer from the hotel. Unfortunately, the parking space was very limited. Food is okay, quite good - and also the fresh juice (on demand) was available for your breakfast. Recommended to stay here.

Ibis Semarang Simpang Lima is one of our favourite hotel when staying in Semarang. The location is very near to Simpang Lima, mal Ciputra(Citraland), and there're lots of restaurants and food court you can reach just by walking. The best thing is the breakfast! Me and my family really enjoy the buffet menu. It was Ibis Semarang Simpang Lima is one of our favourite hotel when staying in Semarang.

We stayed 6 nights at the executive suites room and it was an amazing and unforgettable experience. The check-in and check-out process is very fast. the hotel staff are also friendly to every guest. Very spacious rooms also add the comfort during our stay at the hotel. It's just that the breakfast menu lacks variety. But overall we are satisfied to stay at Wimarion Hotel. Staying at Wimarion Hotel makes us feel at home.. We’re plan to come back if there is a chance to return to Semarang ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

First, don't get me wrong about the titles, It is a Huge Mistake if they put this hotel as a 3 star hotel, because in fact even a 4 or 5 star hotel in semarang doesn't have similar facilities. We had a very pleasant stay at the Wujil hotel. I had a business matters nearby and I had to leave my wife and son in hotel for a whole day, and they were very happy to be stay in Wujil. The facilities are exceptional for kids, there are playgrounds, kids club, pool and even a water fountain!! Rooms were clean, staffs were very attentive and helpful, the breakfast buffet has a good varieties of food, the view from the breakfast area to the mountains were beautiful and we also ordered foods for lunch and dinner from the restaurant and it tasted good with reasonable price. I will highly recommended this hotel for anyone, business travellers, families for vacation, etc because you won't regret to stay here.. Thank you Wujil for a nice experience!

Stayed here for 2 nights for prewed shoots, we were a first-timer in Semarang, this hotel is located near the central so it's an easy drive to almost anywhere. Staffs were helpful and welcoming, quick check-in (we just went through 7 hours drive, so we were grateful to be permitted to check into the room even before 2pm !) The room is standard, they provided dispensers in the hallway on every floor for the guests..

I have had the pleasure of frequently staying at this hotel for many times over the past one year. The second time I stayed at the hotel, one of the staffs remembered my previous stay and happily welcomed me. Since then this hotel has been my first choice of stay in Semarang. I have stayed at higher-stars hotels in Semarang, but none has come close to the level of service demonstrated by the Holiday Inn staffs. They always greet guest with a wide smile and so hospitable. Despite slightly narrower interior, the rooms are tidy with high-level of cleanliness (shower room, towels, etc.). The rooms although not totally noise-proof, are properly designed against noise from the rooms next door and most of the traffic noise are filtered from the glass window. Sleeping hardly a problem for me even the hotel is located at the busy heart of Semarang - Simpang Lima. This hotel provides means for the guests to do their own laundry. Guests can purchase coins for operating the washing and drying machines along with liquid detergent. Although the parking area is limited, the outdoor staffs are so accomodating and helpful whenever help is needed for outdoor or basement parking. Breakfast meals served at the lobby is not 5-star level. However, nasi goreng and three other kinds of warm foods always there. Not to mention fresh bread, juice and coffee. Internet may be the weakest link in this review. I do not have quantitative results to share. Guests expecting to view youtube frequently may be disappointed. But browsing and checking emails are fine. I hope this review could serve as a great praise for the Holiday Inn staffers for their dedication and hard work. I also hope that this hotel can be an example for service industry in Semarang. Lastly, for future travellers reading this very long review, please stay in this hotel and enjoy their hospitality, you will not be disappointed. HS

....staff was friendly, check in process was easy. This nice hotel located near Ciputra mall.. we can walk around 10 minutes. In front of the hotel there is TransMart supermarket & TelogoRejo hospital. There’s so many food traders around the hotel.. the famous Cong Lik ice cream (es putar) just 5 minutes walk from the hotel. Breakfast was standard. After a long day journey... Amaris Simpang Lima. is enough for us to take a rest with comfortable.. I’ll be stay here again, while I’m back to Semarang...

Location is good if you have business in Kendal. If not try Semarang hotels that seem to offer much better Value for Money. It is about 40 min to 1 hour to the airport although the distance is under 30 km. About a 10 min walk towards Semarang to Alun Alun (Kendal Square) that has some night life and street food. Indomaret and Alfamart is also located about 10 min from hotel. Toilets smell, stench seem to emanate from the outlet pipe. The exhaust fans in the toilets of most rooms don't work and so the stench becomes unbearable. Only one bottle of water provided free. Restaurant is good and reasonably priced. Breakfast is ok. Ask for room to be changed and staff obliges, Had to change the room twice once. Large car park, lift direct to rooms from car park. Nice lounge / bar area. Relaxing atmosphere but music is much too loud. ATM machines located at the lobby. The staff is wonderful. That makes makes up for all of the shortcomings if any. Yes, I will stay there again.

We were on a mixed business trip in Semarang and I can recommend this resort to everybody, who a looking for a quite location different to the business hotels in Semarang, the transfer is worth getting the environment there. The only negative topic is the noise of the street in front of the hotel for some Joglo's(unfortunately our presidential one) and the Hotel rooms located to the street. It was no problem for the Hotel to change our Joglo and then we enjoyed our stay there tremendously. Kr Ulrich
