First entered the newly established hotel about two years ago, i get a good impression. The first, outside-inside hotel cleanliness; secondly, looks simple but modern (Classy); third, the Lobby space feels spacious and minimalist; fourth, furnished in a modern style (following current trend); fifth, lighting of the interior lamp harmonious blend of white and light yellow colours and the sixth, a friendly welcome from security officer to the hotel reception staff.

The Lobby at Ground Floor

I hope that impression will continue in to the room.
The hotel offers three types of rooms ranging from Superior rooms, Deluxe rooms and Istana Suites room with rates per night start from IDR 388.000,00 (Superior) up to IDR 888.000,00 (Istana Suite). I took a Deluxe room type with interiors and great (modern) facilities for a such hotel in the city of Tulungagung.

They gave me a smart room key (comes with chips) number 505, my wife and i along with the luggage that was delivered by a hotel bellboy went straight to the elevator to go up to 5th floor. Arrived on the 5th floor we were then shown to the room  by a hotel bellboy. Entering the room is quite spacious and very well-furnished, modern minimalist and thumbs up to this hotel which blends well with the impression of modern simplicity.

My beloved wife

The dishes served fairly tasty. In addition to the delicacy of the dishes in this restaurant are also available other convenience services such as free WI-FI, LCD TV 40" and a special dining room for the smokers.

There are other facilities like laundry, spa, massage, fitness, gym, car rentals and parking area. With all the existing facilities of this hotel can be equated with star hotels in big cities.

From my experience during the stay at the Istana Hotel is very satisfactory and recommend to others who want a place to stay when visiting Tulungagung.
Welcome to visit and stay at Istana Hotel.
