Where should I start? If you chose a budgeted hotel, this is what you got. May be I should start with the room. The room... is a small claustrophobic room. You can't even open your suitcase but on the bed. And I even had to say my prayer (Muslim prayer) on the bed. Oh one more thing, the AC in my room (30002) was not working properly. Even when I sat the temperature to the lowest possible setting, the air didn't get any cooler. :(
The bathroom... they divided the shower and the closet to two different rooms, one in each side of the entrance as you walk in to the room. I believe they did that to increase the efficiency so if you share the room with roommate each one of you can be in the different side of the bath rooms. But, in my humble opinion, it is hard to move across the entrance between shower room and closet if you want to do it both activities, especially when you share the room with friends in business travel like I did.
Breakfast... Yes, you have a very limited choices for breakfast. When I stayed there I had nasi uduk (Indonesian nasi lemak). But to my surprise the side dish to accompany the rice are all carbohydrates! Potatoes, rice noodle, corn cakes, and chips! Can you believe that? How did they make selection for the food, beats me! The only protein source is from the slices of chicken if you also take the chicken porridge (since you may only take on choice of main dish). No milk, no sausage, no eggs, nothing!
I hope they can improve things that can make their guests more comfortable.
Room Tip: You don't have any choices... At least ask the room with working air conditioning.
