this is the only hotel adjacent to the borobudur compound. within 3 mins walk, you have already reached the magnificent complex and the complex is standing right in front of you. wow!!!
i managed to book the hotel by contacting an indonesian travel agent i found online. luckily he was trustable. i mean, i did not pay him any deposit at all. we just confirmed the details of my booking via e-mails and he said he would be waiting for the at the airport.
phew, luckily he was reliable and sure enough, i had the driver, transport and my rooms.
the hotel foyer. it is a resort like hotel.
greenery everywhere. this is the road leading to the lobby.
the balcony outside our room.
my room with 3 beds. sleep comfortably.
the bathroom with hotwater. it is only certified 2 stars i think, but i think it is worth 3 stars.
the restaurant of the hotel where had our dinner of nasi goreng.
i think this is nasi goreng magelang. not bad loh.
fried calamari. you can venture farther than the hotel if you are interested in sampling food from tiny restaurants. but the path is quite dark outside. please be reminded that the days start very early there and so it gets dark rather early, at about 6p.m.although our driver said he would be posted at the hotel and we could look for him if we needed him to drive us out, we did not. of course it came with an extra charge.
some had instant noodles while we went to the restaurant.
a mini theatre showing a documentary of borobudur. it is informative watching the 20minute documentary. you will appreciate the architecture and significance of the temple.glad i made the right hotel choice. it was really convenient and we did not have to pay entrance fee to borobudur. just tell the guard that you are guests there and you will gain direct entry.
now go and find your agent.
