Our room was close to the utility room, so a bit of noise most of the time.

Location is very good. Not too much traffic. A lot af cafes and eaterys in the neighbourhood. Not to mention the market Oro-oro dwoo.

Extra bed makes room very cosy. You cannot open a suitcase. This could be arranged better in the room. Laundry service heavily overpriced, more expensive than in Europe.

Breakfast option for take away when you go to the Bromo tour, which was 3 option to choose. Every choice was amazing! Well prepared and very teasty!

Avoid rooms on the ground floor which are dark and noisy.

This is a lovely hotel and the rooms are very comfortable. There is a nice pool and the staff are kind. Unfortunately we were given rooms on the ground floor, which are dark and given onto a wall. Furthermore there is a machine room outside room 111, which makes an incredible noise 24hours....

Comfort

Window overlooking a path (although curtains and draperies allow for privacy) .

Breakfast! It is open buffet. Wow, a lot of local dishes to choose from plus additionally the standard offer as in European hotel. The staff was very nice and willing to explain the local dishes and help you with them so that you have them served correctly. They change the local offering each day as we were told. The bed was comfortable (but a bit short if you are tall, length of 190cm), the room was big the bathroom was ok - do not need anything more for one night stay, have not checked the spa or the restaurant lunch or dinner offer.

None

A very good hotel with top-level service, a nice pool, and a quiet location not far from the city center. We went on a night trip to a volcano, and the staff kindly offered to prepare a takeaway breakfast for us, which was ready to pick up in the middle of the night. A fantastic place — I recommend it to everyone!

I had no issues to report, it was wonderful.

The property was located in a quiet area while still being close to the main strip of town either 5 minutes by taxi or 15 minutes walking. The hotel itself has a wonderful relaxing pool area and adequate small gym with basic free weight dumbbells and some cardio equipment. The spa is small but they can also treat you in your room; the massage was one of the best I’ve had. The breakfast choices were plentiful and delicious. The rooms are large, clean and the air conditioning is more than adequate. The Attaches restaurant has many wonderful food options with both an Italian and Indonesian Menu and many choices of wine to choose from.

Bit more expensive than what you expect in Java but you get a lot in return.

Very nice hotel just outside the busy centre of Malang. Nice rooms, friendly staff and breakfast with a lot of choices.

Unfortunately we found the rooms to be quite loud , we could clearly hear other guests in there rooms and bathrooms along with what sounded like pumps and water rushing when they used their bathrooms. Staff understandably weren’t able to do much to prevent this.

Nothing to report here

This is the best hotel visited in years, the staff is so friendly nothing is to much. The rooms are modern and clean, the food is really good. The facilities are compleet, everything you need is there. Shalimar staff thanks again for the wonderful stay!

The hotel is a bit out of the town, but it's not a problem. You can get a cheap taxi. The restaurant wasn't the best. It's a bit expensive and the choice was limited. I'd recommend going to the Italian next door instead.

Rooms were very nice and had lots of good facilities. The hotel is lovely and the pool is very nice. The staff are very friendly and helpful. They speak very good English as well. There's some nice restaurants around.

The hotel is beautiful, old school glamour, and tastefully decorated. The rooms were spacious and had everything you need. The beds were big and comfy, and the rooms were clean. The best bit was the staff. 3 of us were unfortunately ill and needed to go to hospital (not because of anything we had eaten there), the staff took us to the hospital, took care to send breakfast to the hospital everyday, sorted everything with the rooms, and looked after the 4th member of our group. I cant thank them enough for their kindness.

Some noise in the area at night (cars and mosques) but this can’t be helped

Hope you don't have a city hall event during your stay, because you will get woken up by loud music from outside at 5 AM on a Saturday, coming from the hotel and from the front of it. Lighting in the room was pretty dim, even with all lights on. The bathroom was a bit outdated in materials and facilities, but still fully functional.

Amazing location and facilities, very comfortable, very good breakfast and staff.
