Review of Metland Hotel Bekasi - Just Menong

Hotel Bekasi is located on Jl. Sultan Hasanudin, Tambun, Bekasi Regency. This hotel is located in the Metland Tambun area, right on the highway that connects the city of Bekasi and Bekasi Regency.

Location of Metland Bekasi

Strategic location (close to supermarkets and highways), adjacent to 3 toll gates, and various facilities that are easily accessible make this hotel our choice when visiting the Tambun or Cibitung area. 

Unfortunately, there is no travel or shuttle directly from Bandung to Tambun, so we have to use travel to Bekasi Kota and then continue using online transportation at a hefty cost and pass through a considerable jam point. 

The hotel lobby is fairly spacious, even though it is designed very simply. In the lobby area, there are drinks and boutique cafes featuring a very beautiful wedding dress that makes me unable to bear to touch it (but of course I do not do it). There were two elevators available as long as we stayed; we did not look for a queue while waiting for the elevator.

Metland Hotel Room

From the outside, you will see a simple hotel with an area that is not so wide as well as a number of floors that are not as many. Metland Hotel only provides two types of rooms, namely Superior King Bed and Superior Twin Bed, with an area of 17 m² each. 

For us, the area of this room is relatively narrow but enough for a 3-star hotel. All rooms are nonsmoking rooms equipped with air conditioning, showers, and refrigerators.

The room rate is in the range of Rp. 400,000, which is cheap for hotels located in strategic areas. When Menong’s friends order through the Blue app, pay attention to the rate listed, usually outside of taxes and other costs. So count back carefully.

The design of the room is simple. There are no carpets. The cupboard did not cover enough and was only enough for a few clothes. There is a workbench as well as a place to store electric kettles and glasses that are placed near the window and decorated with large glass on the wall.

A medium-sized TV mounted on a wall opposite the bed. This TV features several overseas channels that are quite entertaining. In addition, the speed of wifi makes Zauji free to surf. Adjusting the spaciousness of the room, the bathroom is provided with a small size with shower facilities and a hairdryer.

I gave a rating of 4/5 for the room.

Restaurants

When we first set foot in this area, we were both confused, looking for a hotel lobby. It seems that this hotel used to be called HOM Premiere Tambun because we did not find it in the online transportation application. In addition, on the front there is a Farm Ramen & Udon cafe that makes us think I got the wrong place. And it turns out, Metland Hotel Bekasi does not have a special restaurant; it is fused with the ramen cafe. This cafe is in the front. Guests who are going to the cafe must pass through the kitchen (where the waiter prepares dishes), which is usually hidden. 

This cafe is decorated with red lanterns with simple tables and benches. Each emjad is given a vase of flowers that we sometimes slide to make it more free to store plates and glasses. In the morning, there were only hotel guests in this restaurant. The story is different day or night; Menong’s friends will join the cafe visitors. And sometimes we are tempted by the ramen menu that other visitors order. 

The breakfast menu tends to be simple and monotonous in both variety and taste. There is only the main menu (rice and friends), bread (burn or jam), porridge, and fruit. I gave a rating of 3.5/5 for the breakfast menu.

But it is different when Mentong friends book a room plus lunch/dinner. We were amazed by the dishes. In addition to a large portion (it is one serving of fried rice enough for both of us), there is a menu option that varies every day. 

In addition to the main menu (rice and soup/soto), fresh fruit and drinks such as juice do not escape accompaniment. I was also fascinated by the cane crackers that tasted great. The waitress also sometimes gave extra drinks to both of us. It feels like a romantic date at a Japanese-themed restaurant. 

I gave a rating of 3.5/5 for the breakfast menu. 

I gave a rating of 4.5/5 for the cafe menu at Metland Hotel Bekasi, and I included it in the list of versions of the lunch menu/dinner menu.

Other Facilities

This hotel has an outdoor pool located in the hotel's side garden area. This area is quite spacious, decorated with garden chairs and rocky soil with plant styling. It's just that this swimming pool is directly opposite the cafe, which will certainly make us awkward. 

Not only in the Metland area, but Menong friends will also find many facilities, such as minimarkets, restaurants/cafés/stalls, and even department stores, easily around the hotel. Not only that, but in addition to online transportation, the city in the city also flashed in front of the hotel. 

We had a walk to Ramayana Cibitung using angkot and bought sports shoes that I have long been after at Sport Station in various cities because there is no suitable size (Cirebon, Bandung, Garut, Bogor). 

Metland Hotel Bekasi provides a super clean mushola near the lobby. Something we rarely meet in other hotels. Hotel officials are also very friendly to provide for our needs.
