Bandung Travel Forum

Hi, I am not able to book Hotel Santika Bandung. Can someone please recommend an alternative hotel which is close to the shopping areas (within walking distance)? Thank you so much! BTW is end March a peak season in Bandung?

Hi,
Unfortunately it is rather common that you cannot the smaller hotels through the internet or even by phone from abroad. Usually that is not a problem, as they are seldom fully booked.
But 20 through 23 March is a long weekend in Indonesia (and in Malaysia as well I suppose), Thursday being Maulid Nabi Muhamad saw and the remainder Easter weekend. So on these dates you may expect Bandung to be rather crowded with shoppers from Jakarta.
If you come later than 23 March, you should not have any difficulty in finding a neat room. I do not have information on any specific hotel.

I will be at Bandung from 26-29 March & the alternative recommended hotel is Novotel. Since I am planning to rent a van, I think Novotel is ok.

this weekend is a peak session as thursday and friday is national holiday.
If you want Hotel near shopping center, try: (order from cheap to more expensive)
- Royal Dago --> in Jalan Dago...many FOs along the street
- Grand Serella --> Near Jalan Riau where there is Heritage and The Summit FO ang many more
- Grand Setiabudi Apartment --> near Rumah Mode
- Holiday Inn --> in Jalan Dago...many FOs along the street

Thanks for your suggestion! I have booked Aston Tropicana.
