Hotels With Largest Rooms Part 2 - Just Menong

Frequently traveling out of town makes me and Zauji start marking the criteria of the hotel we want. One of these criteria is the area of the room. We've summarized for all of Menong's friends. Let's see the hotel with the widest room, part 2.

Subang, West Java

Hotel Nalendra Plaza

Hotel Nalendra Plaza is located at Jl. Major General Sutoyo No. 07, Karanganyar, Kec. Subang, Subang Regency, West Java 41211. This hotel is located outside the city center but is closer to the gate of the Subang toll gate and the row of travel. There are two Nalendra Hotels in Subang, so make sure Menong's friends choose as needed.

For Menong friends who need a hotel with enough room, this hotel can be the best choice. The room area is at least 27 m², which certainly includes the spaciousness, let alone other hotels in Subang that have a much smaller size.

Menong's friends still have ample space next to the bed. The room I chose is right facing the pool (which is in the middle of the building). It’s just that this swimming pool seems to be used as a place for swimming courses, so it is relatively crowded in the afternoon.

In terms of food, Hotel Nalendra Plaza does not offer an interesting menu. Menong’s friends will be easy to find alternative foods near the hotel.

For size, I rate 4.5/5.

From outside, this hotel looks spacious with a page that contains many cars. Unfortunately, this hotel is right next to the widest public funeral in Subang (this is the reason I chose a room facing the middle of the hotel). Maybe for some friends of Menong, this can be disturbing, even though I personally did not have a mystical experience during a 4-day stay at this hotel.

Garut, West Java

Hotel Star Redante

Hotel Star Redannet includes a 2-star hotel. This hotel is located on Jl. Samarang General No. 42, Langensari, Kec. Tarogong Kaler, Garut Regency, West Java 44151. If Menong's friends want a hotel close to the Cipanas bath destination, this hotel is not in the tourist area of Cipanas. Waterboom or hot springs in the room are certainly not in the facilities that can be provided by this Redannte Star Hotel.

The Redante star is included in one of the hotels at a size of 24 m², in contrast to the area of rooms in tourist areas that range from 9 to 12 m² with more expensive prices. Menong friends will get a double bedding facility with a pillow that is super soft 😍, a large enough cabinet to accommodate a lot of luggage, and of course, it is equipped with a TV, workbench, one chair, and an additional table, which is very worthy to be an option.

The room of this hotel I give a rating of 4.5/5.

Jeneponto, South Sulawesi

Hotel Bintang Karaeng, Jeneponto

Hotel Bintang Karaeng is located on Jl. H.V.W., The People of Binamu Subdistrict, Pabiringa, Kec. Binamu, Jeneponto Regency, South Sulawesi 92316. Actually, this is the second time I visited Jeneponto because before, when I visited Bulukumba Regency, I had a stopover in Jeneponto to taste coto kuda.

At that time, December 2011, I went alone without the company of Zauji. The first impression I got when I arrived at the room was his spacious room right facing the beach.

The bathroom is at the back of the room with a semi-outdoor design. The unique design of the stone floor is combined with an open roof. But don’t worry, high walls prevent people from peeking.

I stayed on the 1st floor because all the rooms on the 2nd floor were larger. Outside of prediction, all night I couldn’t sleep because I was scared when I heard the waves.

Restaurants are outdoor-style hotels so that Menong’s friends can enjoy breakfast while looking at the waves.

The room of this hotel I give a rating of 4.5/5.

At leisure, Menong’s friends can take a walk along the beach and see the activities of traditional fishermen and dried seaweed. In the hotel area, Menong friends can also take pictures in traditional Sulawesi homes.

Bandung, West Java

The Palais Dago Hotel, Bandung

I rarely get a chance to stay in Dago, Bandung. The Palais Dago Hotel, Bandung, is located on Jl. Ir. H. Juanda No. 90, Lebakgede, Coblong Subdistrict, Bandung City, West Java 40132. Not far from Borromeus Hospital and the road to the Upper Dago area. The culinary area in the ITB and UNPAD area can take Menong friends on foot only. Its strategic location makes this hotel a friend of Menong's choice.

As well as Hotel Asrilia, which includes the hotel with the widest rooms in Bandung, Palais Dago Hotel seems to be an old hotel in Bandung.

The Palais Dago Hotel has a design resembling a European building, complete with a large dome on the front. It's just that the reception area and the restaurant are not so extensive and do not accommodate many guests. Same with the limited parking lot. Since Zauji and I came using a duck motorbike, we had trouble getting a closed parking lot.

Since the lockdown was still being enacted, the atmosphere was very quiet. This is what makes us get a cheap price for the executive suite room, only Rp. 450,000, compared to the normal price of over 1 million.

The executive suite has an area of 51 m² (it’s very broad?) with a living room, a table in the middle room, a bedroom with a king-size bed, and a spacious bathroom with bathtub. So wide, I always asked Zauji to take me to the bathroom.

One drawback of this room is the lack of ventilation or sunlight because all the bedroom windows overlook the central area of the hotel and are in the building. In the corridor to the restaurant, Menong's friends can feed the koi fish accompanied by the zeal of pond water.

The size of the area of other rooms is large; the Deluxe room has an area of 32 m², and the Junior Suite has an area of 40 m².

I give it a value of 4.5/5.

Medan, North Sumatra

Hotel Garuda Plaza Medan

This hotel is located on Jl. Sisingamangaraja No. 18, Mosque, Kec. Medan Kota, Medan City, North Sumatra 20213. The location, not far from the Al Mashun Grand Mosque and Maimun Palace, used to be the most successful hotel in its golden era.

This old-style hotel has rooms with a fairly large area. Staying on weekdays makes us get a promo price for an executive room. Rooms equipped with guest chairs and this bathtub are worth an option.

The room of this hotel I give a rating of 5/5.

Unfortunately, the hotel in the Garuda Group is no longer operating after being hit by the pandemic.

Actually, there are still many hotels with the widest rooms, but some of these hotels get a place in our hearts with consideration of comfort and price.
