I checked in at the hotel on 9th May 2018 and was given a room on 6th floor. When the elevator reach the 6th floor, the smells of an old carpet stung my nose. And when I reached the assigned room, there was a small cockroach on the washbasin.
We requested to move to another room and we were sent to another room on different floor. But for the next 3 days we saw another 3 cockroachs. You can see the picture of cockroach we found in the bathroom, in the bedroom and in the restaurant next to vegetables basket during our breakfast.
Those experiences surely makes my wife and daughter frigthen to dead because they are afraid of cockroach. And I even can't tell my wife that I saw a cockroach in the restaurant.
The worst thing was we came along with our 5-weeks baby, the sanitary and cleanness of this hotel are surely need a very close attention.
I never had a chance to inform the receptionist during our check-out process due to our tight schedule.
Thus experiences make me think more than 100 times to come again to this hotel and I think my wife and my daugther won't come again.
Best place to eat dimsum with your family. You can get free parking if u eat in this place
Stayed here for 2-night stay with a friend. We stayed on the 20th floor. The view is great. The breakfast menu is super complete. However, I think the TV needs to be upgraded. I mean, this is 2018 and who watches tube-TV now, especially it is a 4-star hotel. Overall, the stay was great despite the TV.
Hall room of garden palace is so huge and beautiful.
Comfortable for organize some event here.
Toilet disparate between women and man.
Location easily to reach. Close to Surabaya's square town.
The staff is friendly.
Nice but slightly rundown hotel. The staff made my stay a pleasant one. Breakfast is legendary. The location is superb.
Saat dapet undangan gathering di resto Garden Palace Hotel saya antusias banget (karena belom pernah kemari juga soalnya). First impression saat masuk lobby badan langsung adem karena AC nya disetting full (mungkin).
Lanjut ke resto yang ada di sebelah kiri lobby saya ngerasa "wah". Karena mulai dari makanan khas Indonesia seperti serabi, kolak, gudeg, rawon, opor, onde-onde, dan bahkan gorengan juga ada. Japanese, ada sushi, acar khas Jepang. Turkish, kebab dan martabak. India, roti cane, kare. Sampe Western menu pun ada. Kenyang dek pokoknya saya dan rombongan. 😁
The hotel who knows what a custumer needs, nice! Breakfast with a lot of varian taste and choice.
Lovely rooms. very clean and comfortable. the price is good and hotel is safe
I went there not for staying, just try their buffet. It has a great & nice hospitality, they are so friendly, they even remembered our name. Delicious buffet. Lots of variety from Chinese food, Indonesian food, western food, & Japanese food. Nice ambient, and taste is great.
Nice and cozy place at the heart of Surabaya. The food was great. Their, so I called, Shrimp Hairy Ball, was marvelous. You should try it.
Food is good and right into middle of surabaya city, hotel services are ok..
Nice place to stay with good service and affordable price. Various delicious menu at breakfast.
Classic hotel, strategic location but need improvement. Slow wifi but have too many options for breakfast. Delicious!
Place looked like it was a bit old and dirty. Food and service were okay though.
For meeting, the facility is quiet adequate, even though some facility such as projector is not that good. The wifi is not that fast. The food is quite good
Our dad fave hotel. Every time we visit Surabaya, it's a must for him to stay in this hotel. It's his 4th home, that's what his daughter in law said.
Datang ke nikahan
Old hotel. But they have improved the restaurant. Now the food is much better
Stayed here for 4 days, the food was good and the rooms are quite nice
Old hotel but comfortable. Good lunch buffet here. Frequently used for weddings.
Totally good hotel..but lift or elevator too slow
Now, it's better. However, not expecting much. Their dining table setting is still without knife. Only fork and spoon. They don't even provide matched spoon for your soup. They are also inexperienced in hosting a cocktail or fine dining events.
Good old hotel. In the middle of the city, near Surabaya plaza and Tunjungan Plaza (and Zangrandi ice cream right at the entrance) The room are quite big for the price (unlike the newer hotels). The rooms need some modernization; still have that big control panel in the middle for turning off lights, air con, tv (changing channel as well, it's a relic from the past where tv remote was non-existent I guess). The inside of the room do look old (and it's actually old).
Friendly price, good breakfast
Need some modernization, consider old hotel
Nice room. So many option for breakfast. Great.
Decent hotel, but needs update and maintenance. Great views over the city though.
Worst hotel stay ever. Five reasons why:
1. Water in bathroom was yellow-chocolate in color, clearly filthy, so I couldn't shower
2. I was stuck abruptly in the hotel elevator during blackout
3. Wifi in the room doesn't work
4. Hotel staff was slow to react when I complained (waited 30 mins with no empathy nor alternatives to my room)
5. Hotel wasn't willing to refund my stay
Had to ask for a bathroom floor towel, and the towel was taken away after room service, and had to ask again for it. Hair dryer is available but very weak, making it almost unusable.
Room is next to a busy street, a very loud siren would go off every time a pedestrian crosses the street.
Walking distance to convention center, groceries and malls, though walking is not recommended for all.
Large room, strategic location, quite old but stiil good
I went there just to enjoy the dim sum. It is really nice
The service was very satisfactory. the food was good and lots of variety, locally and internationally.
Been here as guest and it staff, the food was great,the services is good,clean and luxurious,cozy..
I spent my new year event in here. Its comfortable enough. About the food, I cant forget their Manado porridge. Its so delicious.
The secret garden dimsum restaurant is awesome, the best dimsum in town!
Nice place n comfortable, near surabaya plaza, a citymall at surabaya city
Had stay few times, Hotel getting abit old, need some renovation. breakfast is good
The Air con was so dirty. I felt suffocated here. The bathroom was smelly. The bed was a little bit wet. The lightings werw so dark. Not a baby friendly hotel. Only can last 4 hours here bfore I check out to find other hotel. Sorry
Dim Sum nya enak.
The crew are friendly, the room is clean, the food is authentically yummy. But, my favourite one is the authentic dim sum..
Must try!
Tempat nya Bersih
Nice hotel, good facilities, but a bit old.
Exotic place
Its location is right at the center of the city district.
1. Facility too old
2. Reception service non efficiency and bad
The parking lot is expensive for non-customer of Garden Palace Hotel :(
good hotel, need upgrade springbed, some bed is broken
