Menumbing Heritage Hotel

“A very, very pleasant surprise”

We love markets of Southeast Asia but we don’t usually go for hotels next to them because they are often not so great. So when I saw the location of the hotel, right next to the central market of Pangkal Pinang, I told myself not to expect too much. But how surprisingly delightful this hotel turned… lisää

We love markets of Southeast Asia but we don’t usually go for hotels next to them because they are often not so great. So when I saw the location of the hotel, right next to the central market of Pangkal Pinang, I told myself not to expect too much. But how surprisingly delightful this hotel turned out to be- clean, classy and tastefully decorated with heritage furniture and all. The service was fantastic and food at the poolside restaurant was really good! Wake up for breakfast if you stay here! And do stay here if you have the chance!

“Love the beautiful heritage architecture”

the place that you can stay close to the traditional market & catholic church, there is a special lift which is the first time I look at it, good breakfast, good pool, and the most important is excellent service of the hotel staff

“A bit too tight but fancy”

One of the fanciest hotel and rich with history I've been. The place is gorgeous and we love every details.

One of the fanciest hotel and rich with history I've been. The place is gorgeous and we love every details. But there's room for improvement like the cleanliness of the breakfast, flies are everywhere. The pool is renovated that time, the restroom is small, we wish we upgraded to a better room, since their price is budget reasonable. The premise is right behind a wet market, hence, always expect a traffic jam. The service was good and the people are wonderful. We would probably go back there again and took amazing pictures again.

It is a well preserved hotel in the middle of the city. They’re well aware of the instagram/travel blog effects so there are many Instagram-able spots all over the property. Note that this is not a hotel with authentic antiques like Hotel Majapahit in Surabaya or Tugu in Malang, so architecture and history buffs, beware. Like I said before, the furniture and ambiance are designed for good instagram pictures. Staff are friendly and helpful. They took time to talk to talk to guests and gives good recommendations, and I observed this with reception and restaurant staff alike. I had packages delivered to the hotel and the staff took care of them smoothly. Their hospitality is much appreciated. The room is tiny but well stocked. There were coffee/tea station with electric kettle, free bottled water and cold teh kotak (in the fridge), and complete toiletries. The bed was comfortable, extensive selection of TV channels and stable wifi connection. The bathroom was cramped due to a separate shower box taking most of the space. I would recommend to take off the box entirely because it’s so hard to manuever in it and water keep seeping through the door anyway. I’ll recommend this hotel to those who want to try non-chain hotels. The service was great it’ll make up for the tiny room.
