Hotels with Parking in Central Semarang

Booked this IXO Hotel as I like new hotels. A short easy walk from Semarang Poncol Train Station. I like their colorful decorations a lot. Good hot water to shower. The small face basin is not a concern, but they have a small shelf above it, under the mirror, to place the 2 toothpaste sets, and it is hard to brush my teeth. Hard to aim my mouth above the shelf and not to splash water onto the shelf. Great staff. Modern decoration. They have snacks and instant foods to sell at Lobby. Guests can get boiling water and cold water from the machine there. Very clean floor in room 105 but the shower room needs a brush with cleaning liquid. Old towels. Good bed linen. My room is a few steps from Reception so I didn’t use the elevator. Room has 2 bottles of water, 2 toothbrush sets and wall mounted shower gel bottle. Can borrow cups from Reception to make our own tea. They don’t give tea nor coffee in room. Only 2 outlets to charge the phones: bed head shelf and under the clothes hanging hook. They manage to have a tv and mirror in room in a very well appointed place. Good design to make use of every corner in a tiny room. Windows can be opened.

All the staff at the hotel were incredibly friendly and helpful. The facilities are excellent, and I particularly have to praise their swimming pool. Having stayed in numerous five-star hotels across different countries, I can confidently say their pool is one of the larger ones and impeccably clean. The only downside is that it closes at 8 PM. The hotel's breakfast buffet is incredibly extensive; you're guaranteed to find something you'll enjoy. The restaurant staff are exceptionally attentive. If you dine there for breakfast two days in a row, they'll already remember your preferences and ask if you need anything specific. Furthermore, their Chinese restaurant, Summer Palace, serves outstanding Cantonese cuisine, and the prices are very reasonable. Even the staff in the Chinese restaurant maintain the hotel's consistently friendly service. If you ever have the chance to stay at this hotel, I highly recommend trying their Chinese restaurant.

The room was spacious and very clean. It's an older hotel, but it has a charming history. Dining at the restaurant was also a very pleasant experience. The gym and sauna facilities were well-equipped and comfortable. Plus, it's located right in the city center, making it convenient to get everywhere.

One of the best hotels in Semarang! Everything exceeded our expectations, from the beautiful and spacious room to the excellent service. The staff were professional and welcoming, especially Sella at reception, and the location inside Queen City Mall made our stay so convenient. Clean, comfortable, and perfect for families. We truly enjoyed our stay and will definitely come back. Highly recommended!

I had a really bad experience staying at this hotel. It was terrifying. I was in my room having shower at 8am, and I realized someone is inside my room. I quickly scream and get my clothes when the person got out saying sorry. I open my door and call out the cleaner staff, telling why he entered my room. He said he has knocked for three times and enter my room.  GOSH! I was in the shower and it was 8.17 AM in the morning! 
It’s too for the cleaning, someone might be still sleeping. If you knock for 3x and no one answer, you can always go back later, not entering the room. GOSH IT WAS STILL EARLY IN THE MORNING. It was a nightmare, I went to the receptionist, telling the lady there aboput my experience, and what made it worse was that she just replied my complaint with smiles & laughter, not showing any empathy. For god shake, she’s a woman too. What if it happened to her, being naked in a hotel room and a stranget get inside.  The hotel is new, and clean, but they don't have elevator. Good luck with the stairs and bad attitude staff. 

Value for money. The front desk staff are efficient and responsive. They responded immediately when we requested for a room change because the room allocated to us initially was just next to the lift. We were given another room at the far most end which was quiet enough for a good night's sleep. The beds are slightly smaller than the other hotel beds which we have been to. And just like some other hotels in Java, we need to request for a hairdryer from the front desk. The breakfast food choices were excellent and we enjoyed the different local Javanese food for two mornings. The hotel's spa-massage service was also good and you'll need to book early for the session. Thank you.

The hotel is alright, but not a huge one. There are tons of food options nearby, especially for late-night eats. The only slight hassle is the parking; their space is quite small, but you can still park and the security guard will help you out.

As mentioned on my previous review the hotel tomorrow and provides a really good however aging amenities and hotel experience. The stay was good the food was amazing however I do have to say that in the four star hotel class in central samarang there are a lot of other choices so feel free to take a look at those first but do not leave novotel entirely out of your list.

Plus: Friendly staff at lobby, reception and restaurant. Helpful staff at Obsidian who helped reheat our food although bought from outside 🙏👍 Location is strategic - near to the mall and walking distance old town tourist attraction. Minus: The touchless elevator buttons were too sensitive. The lift at all floors lit when hand came near. It caused the slowing down due to stopping at each floor and prolonged guests waiting time especially during peak hours. Sound proof was not effective- the loud noise from traffic, exercise dance music from nearby square was truly disturbing during night and morning. Restaurant is quite small. Hard to find a seat during breakfast time.

The hotel design was aesthetic and can see javanese culture.. Love it. My kids also love the hotel and the staff is really friendly. The service also excellent. Oh ya, the breakfast buffet is great and kids meal friendly . Will stay here again in the future 🥰🥰
