It's a nice railway station where budget trip begins. Closer to many good hotels, shopping malls and off course the Simpang Lima than Tawang railway station

One of the best train station in town, get budget trip here
a very busy station, quite small. The parking lot is just ridiculously small and messy. I feel sorry to the driver who was supposedly wait for us (my friend and I) in the area, he couldn't find any spot so he had to wait outside the gate.
clearly the structure needs to be upgraded.
Nice place with amazing building consept
I've used Semarang Poncol Station a few times en route to / from Malang. I must say that I'm not a fan of the place at all. I accept that as it's a major terminus in one of the biggest and greatest cities on earth, it's going to be busy, but the way that the station is designed seems to add to the human congestion problem. Also, having had to wait there late at night / early in the morning, the station can be scary for a young woman traveling alone.
While there are many amenities, there is a lack of place of places where you can actually sit down. The waiting room is extremely uncomfortable and is something I'd associate more with short distance commuter transit, rather than geared towards passengers making much longer journeys. There is a lack of actual restaurants where you can sit down comfortably and eat.
They should also give you more notice of the track # before boarding the train, to avoid the mad /. crazy stampede that sometimes occurs.
I was pleased with the PT.KAI customer service though. They are extremely polite and helpful. Also, despite the lack of dining options, I did find one good place to sit down and eat and have a drink. It's a great place to sit and avoid all the chaos while you're waiting for your train.
But please renovate this station.
Great station , with cozy waiting room, have ATM , food court , mosque and clean rest room
it's a train station for short journey. easy to find public transportation in front of the station.
Old architecture combine with modern facility.. with extra keroncong musical. Good for nostalgic
Seems clean, well maintained.
Lots of old trains at the end of the station.
There are a lot of charging batteries.. besides, it is more crowded rather than semarang tawang station
Nice station.. has two musholla, inside and outside the station.. There are also public restrooms, bake shops, convenience store and other facilities
Good station. Clean. Excellent service.
Cozy place for traveler. Locals are nice and friendly
Stasiun lumayan besar tapi toiletnya hanya satu, agak mengecewakan sih. Demikian juga dengan musholla di samping toilet.
Lantai masih kurang tinggi untuk naik ke kereta. Butuh tangga yang tidak semuanya disediakan di pintu kereta.
One of the two stations in Semarang. Mostly economic train depart/arrive here
Secondary station after semarang tawang, mostly serves local train service to Tegal and Cepu
Looks like one of historical building. Nice and clean train station.
Looks like one of historical building. Nice and clean train station.
Pretty clean and free charging outlets are available.
Now the station is far more better than few years ago. More tidy and clean. This station is for economy class only.
Toilet isn't adequate in number but clean enough. Even though this station only for economy class it should be better than this
Long queue, buy or reservation by online is strongly recommended
Clean station, the only thing to improve is facilities for waiting, dince people are only allowed to enter the station 1h before schedule
Well..it is Okay. because the facilities are just Okay. The toilets, mosque/praying room, and things to make better is the presence of the 'ojek'. They should join online one such as GOJEK.
Good.. Improving facility and service..
Good station. Actually every station gettings better. Good job KAI Indonesia
The only thing should be improved is the ticket counter. Long queue at the morn, only 2 of 4 counters opened. Why?
Nowadays, it's just like another station. Clean and comfy.
