“Jungle in the mid city”

Our third stop of our Java Journey was in Blitar, and here we were at Hotel Tugu Blitar. Firstly drove up to the hotel entrance, I just wanted to say, "WOW". I was speechless to see jungle in the middle of the city area. Stopped at the parking spot, there was a front desk on the right hand of the entrance gate. I was amazed with the hotel decoration. Classic, thick of Javanese culture with statues around the property. The hotel area is an open space with a lot of big big trees with big trunks. I do appreciate for the owner who take a good care with the nature around the property. Guess it was our lucky day, as the staff upgraded our room to Tugu Suite. Thank you for that. The property has several buildings. The main building itself was built in 1850. The rest of the buildings were new, but the design and concept were very traditional too. Our room was located behind the main building. Tugu Suite is very spacious room with separate living room area. This colony concept design type of room has a very unique bathtub that comes together with the shower. It has a small chair and we need to descend the bathtub. Such a lovely experience! What I love for the amenities here? The soap bar. Yes!!! The soap bar has very nicely fragrant smell. Water heater, water pressure, AC are okay. The wifi was kind of slow. The high-tea snack was delicious, but what most attracted me was the outfit of the server. He wears classic Javanese outfit for male with Sarong and Blankon (please correct me if I am wrong). Next to the restaurant, it has a small stage of the traditional gamelan. Too bad there was no performance when we were staying there. It would have been very lovey if the hotel can consider the traditional gamelan performance during dinner time or breakfast time. Breakfast was served buffet and ala-carte. Some food such as soups is served ala carte. Restaurant is an open space area with lots of vintage decorations and pictures. Amazing place. At last, before our check out, we were guided to the President Suite room that is dedicated to late Indonesian's first president, Mr. Soekarno. We were told that the family of Mr. Soekarno stayed in that particular room when visiting Blitar. This suite is located in the main building area that is decorated in vintage paintings, chandelier, tables and chairs. In short, I can see the owner of the hotel as a vintage collector with thick of Javanese culture and trying to preserve the nature. I do appreciate for this. Thank you for the great assistance of the staffs from the front office, server, and housekeeper. Thank you for giving us memorable stay in your hotel, not only for the service, but also with the collections and decorations in the property.

“An absolute must where people still make the difference!”

In our opinion, the absolute difference is always made by the people of the hotel. That is why we prefer smaller boutique hotels.

The Tugu Hotel in Blitar (East Java) is among the absolute top in that respect! You feel very welcome here and receive a personal and warm welcome. It just makes you very happy. There is nothing wrong with the hotel, although there is no swimming pool. For us, that was not an issue. Fantastic food and drinks and a lot of attention is paid to local food. The rooms are spacious, the beds large with good linen and the bathroom is very nice, which is half outdoors. Again, the people are very nice!

The hotel is a charming old house in colony style. It is not luxurious, but the atmosphere is priceless. We had a great time there. The staff is very friendly and helpfull. We did a cycle tour with mr. Dodik, very nice. The massage can also be recommended. In the afternoon there is tea with Java sweets. There is a great choice for breakfast and diner. While the house is like a museum, on our last day we became a private tour through the house. Very interesting. We will come again.

Loved my experience at Hotel Tugu, Blitar! From the day i stepped in, my family and i were greeted with such wonderful kindness and hospitality. If you love colonial heritage hotels, this is a must-go and it has a very relaxed and peaceful ambience. A big plus is the food - hands-down, the best traditional Indonesian spread I have had in a long time and the food is always fresh and well-presented. A clean hotel that is located in the heart of town, you can find eateries nearby easily. I will recommend Hotel Tugu Blitar for you during your stay here.
