Bandung 4D/3N Trip Day 1 - The Luxton Hotel (Review)

This is a pretty new and clean hotel and deco is very contemporary and chic. Rooms are spacious with high ceiling with full amenities you need. Beds are firm and pillows are very comfortable.
I loved the parquette floor.

Shower's pressure was strong and hot water came out quite promptly. Breakfast (Day1, Day2, Day3) is never boring - they change menu everyday and the food is very tasty. Their pastries, including brownies are also very good and very affordable.

Hotel staff were very friendly, approachable and helpful and always serving with a broad smile. They provided me a good map upon request. Free internet in the room and free wireless in the lobby/breakfast area. Complimentary transfer from/to airport.

Dago FOs, Roger's spa, Kartika Sari and Amanda are accessible via Angkotan Kota @ Rp1000 along Jalan Dago. The nearest shopping centre, Indah Plaza, is about 10-15mins' walk. So is Holland Bakery. There are no shops/eateries/shopping immediately outside the hotel. Located in a pretty quiet area.

We booked 2 connecting rooms through their website - 1 King's bed and 2 twin beds at a rate of Rp 875k ++ per room. Our rooms were on the 10th level. Highest level was 11.
Our room card - the photo was taken by me last minute in an hurry and oops, it is out of focus!!
