It was a shopping trip for 5 days. I made booking through Intercontinental Hotels Group website. The holiday was full because of new year holiday in indonesia.
From the airport , we took a cab straight to Holiday Inn. We were greeted by the friendly staff & we went to check in counter. The receptionist at the counter wasnt so friendly. We were also informed that our room was not ready to be checked in so we had to wait. So we decided to walk around the city. I asked them to bring our luggages to our room but when we came back our luggages were still there at the luggage counter.
The room was spacious & clean. We were given 2 bottle of mineral water each day, and drinking water from the tap is not advisable. You dont want to get sick, trust me. Even if you boiled the water. Each morning, the staff will come to your room for mini bar checking. I guess they didnt want us to take anything from the mini bar & replace it with new one. The food at the hotel's restaurant was delicious. Loved their breakfast buffet. You can order food from the restaurant 24-hour. One thing I don't like, the air cond water kept dripping & wet the carpet. If you were sick, you can call for medical treatment. If u needed taxi or limousine or personal driver, the hotel can arrange them for you. Across the street, you can find 1 factory outlet & a money changer.
You can also travel around the city by 'angkut'. It's cheap, only 1000 to 2000 rupiah for 1 journey. Take angkut "Kelapa Dago" to go to factory outlets along Jalan Dago. To pasar baru, take angkut "Stasion". Pasar Baru is a place where you can buy lace material at cheap price. You can always take cab, just beware with the fare. They often charge more on tourist. The hotel is also near with Bandung Indah Plaza, go to the right from the hotel, walk straight, or you can take angkut. There, you will find a lot of fast food restaurant. To go to Rumah Mode, we took cab, around 25,000 rupiah.
I would say that It was a good experience staying at Holiday Inn Bandung. What I like the most is the location.
