One of the most significant advantages this hotel has compared to its competitors is its location that is conveniently situated near to Bandung's relatively new emerging shopping neighborhood, Jalan Riau, which is now packed with various factory outlets and local cuisines establishment that form one of major tourists attractions to the city in during the past ten years.

The hotel is not actually located in the roadside of Riau street, and requires a convenient less than 5 minutes walk to most of the shopping outlets. But this is actually a good point since guests still can enjoy the proximity with less traffic disturbances.

Another striking feature is the interior of the hotel as well as the room. If you're into extravagant and artistic furnitures and decorations, with classic-style crystal chandeliers and antique mirrors here and there, as well as combinations of dark gold and purple-ish ambience, then this hotel is a perfect for you.

The minus point is the hotel's seemingly lack of space. The lobby is area is very limited with main entrance and the front desk only within five steps away. The adjacent dining area where buffet breakfast is usually held is also considerably small and will easily be fully crowded in a typical busy weekend or during holiday seasons.

You would find some of the meals in the menu to taste above average. Yet in a crowded situation like during breakfast, food quality may get considerably lower. The omelette station is the worst example, where queueing ofteb gets very long and poorly handled.

Another discouragement is parking. For a 90-rooms four-stars hotel like this one, the parking spaces are very limited so that most of the guests will be forced to rely on the valet parking service that is offered - luckily enough - for free. But still, every now and then it will add up to unnecessary waste of time waiting for the valet to get your car.
