    Location didn’t have many restaurants in walking distance but overall no complaints

    We actually only stayed here for a matter of hours before the Bromo tour but it’s a lovely hotel with nice staff and a nice interior.

    The staff put a yellow ball to fresh the air of the room. However, such yellow ball smells not natural, but like some chemical materials which may harm health, I worried. I hope the staff can clean the room to make it no other strange smell, but not just using one uncomfortable smell from such yellow ball to cover the original bad smell of the room.

    Not a biggie, but you can hear the fountain in the inner yard from the room (did not bother us though).

    Location is good: not far away from the main streets (you can get a Grab or walk there). Staff were very correct. The room was modern and clean.

    The room is a little dark cause window is faced towards indoor garden, plus side is that its quiet.

    The rooms are very quiet, so no waking early by the mosque. The beds are comfortabel, airconditioning is not pointed on the bed, and is quiet. So no stiff neck :) Nextdoor is a lovely French Bakery. And on Sunday early morning there was a street market across the street.

    We had to prolong for one night. The room would still have been free, but the price at the reception was ca. 50% higher than the price we paid for the three nights before. They argued that the price on Sunday is higher. Still we found the same room a bit cheaper online, where they also have to pay commission. We then booked for the much cheaper twin room (basically the same room with a different bed) which is significantly cheaper than the double bed. Later in the day, also the double bed would have been available online for the same price. We just to switch rooms. While it occasionally happens that rooms need to be switched after prolonging, I hoped to find a more customer oriented solution in this case. (Only a very minor minute point). The room smells like sewer, which disappears once the fan in the bathroom is on. Think the first impression would improve if you'd turn on the fan before the guest arrives. Unfortunately also the cafe is closed

    Sweet staff..24h reception. Clean room. Very quiet (except for last night on Saturday, there was a concert in the neighbor house). Did not see any mosquito in the room. Good Ramen and nice bakery next door. The room had receiving we needed including free bottles of water every day.

    If the cafe was open and working it would’ve made our stay even better!

    The sweet garden guest house is the perfect base for exploring the sights of Malang. It is close to lots of great restaurants whilst also being really quiet and comfortable. We were able to visit Mount Bromo and the waterfalls with ease and could return to a lovely, clean room to relax afterwards.

    Drain smell from the toilet wont go away. Our fridge was not working but staff did offer us to move room but we decided not to because we only have 1 day left to stay.

    The place feels secluded as our room was on level 1. Staff was friendly and very helpful. There was a long cushion bench outside of our room which I frequent.

    Our stay was great. Room was spacious and clean. Close to many restaurants. Plenty of hot water with shower separated from rest of the bathroom however, water did leak under door and pool right in front of toilet. Nothing to major and probably isn't like that in all rooms. Plenty of parking space with security. Would recommend.

    Smell from the bathroom, calls early in the morning (probably to ask for roomservice) we did not pick up, it was still dark outside. Just tell them, you don’t need room service and it will be fine.

    Modern building with fountain and plants in the middle, modern rooms. Excellent breakfast restaurant and ramen restaurant right next to it.

    They were very persistent at coming to clean clean rooms, calling for housekeeping at 7am on one morning.

    Very nice and clean hotel with modern rooms of a good size, with clean bathrooms. Staff very friendly and the location is quite walkable to restaurants and areas of interest in Malang. They also let you check in very early for percentage of your room price which was great as we arrived super early feom the train station but coule access the room straight away to sleep.
