Novotel Surabaya Hotel & Suites, Indonesia

Since I’m already on a holiday mood, let me just continue on my Surabaya trip from the previous post okay? Hehe…

But this time, just a short one to let you see where I stayed in Surabaya.

I stayed at this very beautiful 4 star hotel called Novotel Surabaya. It’s location is not too far away from the city. Just about 15 minutes from the main city area.

I’ve got the room at a very special deal. No prize to guess why. I’m the best ever travel consultant you can ever find! Some special skills needed and I’m not gonna teach you!

The security was very tight due the Jakarta bombing on the same morning. It was very traumatic you know! You are gonna travel and there is bombing in Indonesia. Though Surabaya is far away from Jakarta, but still…!!!

I’m gonna walk you through the “holiday resort in the city”. Well, Novotel Surabaya has a lot of hotel facilities which we were unfortunate enough not to be able to enjoy. We had a very kind and great host in Surabaya to bring us out to see Surabaya instead of getting stuck in the hotel. Thank you, Alain (if you are reading this).

That’s what you see when you enter the lobby and then below would be the reception and the area around it.

Then we have the surroundings of the hotel around the pool area and the environment as well. Staying here in the city, does make you feel like you are staying far away from the city. Usually resort hotels are located further from the city.

Now, move on to our 2 bedroom apartment suite. This was the first apartment suite that was given to us. Not really spacious and the master bedroom was twin bed instead of double bed. They look the same but the bottom picture would be the master bedroom.

We asked to change and we got a better unit. More spacious unit where the master bedroom was changed to a double bed. That’s when Pamsong did the Pamsong “failed” jump.

The 2 bedroom suite comes with a kitchen, living hall with basic facilities and of course both the master and secondary rooms comes with attached bathroom. Plus, it’s a two storey suite hence the staircase up to the master bedroom.

Average night stay in Novotel Surabaya would be from about RM 300++ per night in a deluxe room. For the two night stay, we paid RM 740 and it’s a 2 bedroom apartment suite. Divided by 3 people, it’s like cheap lor!

You can’t book the 2 bedroom apartment via the online booking tool but you can always book through an agent (like myself) or write in to the hotel via email (contacts below).
