Classic Hotel
The hotel was older but was fairly comfortable. I really liked the downstairs breakfast as it had a lot of variety of Indonesian foods to try. Getting Grab transportation from the lobby area was also really easy. Only thing is not much to do in the immediate area within walking distance.
