Shpooing %26amp; Accomodation
Don%26#39;t forget to shop at Rumah Mode. Suggest you check that out first. Definitely a cut above the rest. You%26#39;ll find it at Setiabudhi. Ther%26#39;s also a new FO called The Secret. Its on the road that your Hotel is on. If you are looking for teenage street fashion, the Distro is excellent with young local designers selling hip Harajuku style stuff. Its also on Jln Riau.
Most shopping places are around your neighbourhood. Otherwise, taxis are plentiful and cheap.
Along your street there%26#39;s the Cellar, passable food but cool live jazz. For Sundanese, the Ma%26#39;Uneh in Setiabudhi is popular. D%26#39;Palm is very close to you. Very chic and stylish with excellent Pedak( salted fish). Close to you is also the Kampung Melayu.No prizes for guessing what they serve!!!
If you are hungry for supper, there%26#39;s a popular place called Cemar that is popular with students and night owls. you will find it around the corner at the South End of Jln Baga.
Otherwise, cab it to Savoy Homann Hotel and look across the road from the front entrance of the Hotel. After midnight, you will find cheap and superb Bubur Ayam, Bandrek, and Bihun Goreng.You can%26#39;t miss it. Look for the fleet of parked cars and throngs of diners.
Hai , Thanks for the detailed info , much appreciate it ....
hai mat , how are you, i will go to bandung this december with a friends. can you advise me the hotel good to stay (cheap price, clean,good service n easy access FO, Pasar Baru, Cibaduyut, Tangkuban Perahu,eating n etc)
I hope you can help me.
Sya26, you can try Progo Hotel which is very near (about 5 minutes walk) to the Factory Outlets along Jalan Riau - Heritage, Summit, Cascade etc). Clean, reasonable rate and quite spacious - 3 can fit it nicely into a standard room. If there is no change from last year - daily room rate with breakfast (twin bed) is Rph220,000 (weekday); Rph290,000 (weekend).
As for eating places - I can recommended Atmosphere, Pak Chi Met, The Valley, Kampung Daun %26amp; Dapur Sangkuriang. Stop by at Kampung Daun on the way back from Tangkuban Parahu. Go to The Valley for dinner, cold place on top of the hill with view of Bandung to appreciate. But I have heard that The Stone Cafe (near to The Valley) and D%26#39;Cost Seafood is also a good place to go. Wait for my next review as I intend to eat at these places during my next trip in May.
Cibaduyut is quite far from Bandung city. The last time I went there, it took us almost 2 hours to get there due to bad jam along the way. Products sold there are mostly handmade shoes and bags but we don%26#39;t like the quality. It is something similar to Chow Kit Road. Factory Outlets and Pasar Baru are more towards my liking.
As for transportation, if you want an easy movement you may arrange for a MPV + driver (can fit in max 7 persons). Otherwise, the public transport within the city is reliable(from what I heard from others). However, if you intend to shop and shop, the first option is definitely a better choice. The driver will take you everywhere you want to be, shop and drop all your shopping stuff into the MPV. That%26#39;s what we did for all our previous trips.
Hi Sya26,
No single hotel can meet your demand, the places u wanna go is all over town and some outside the city..Cibaduyut deep south, Pasar Baru in The middle, T Prahu up north out of town...Maybe you should stay near major FO area, Ms SueHamid suggestion are good, I would add Grand Serela (if u hv the budget) or Gandasari for Riau area,... H Sawunggaling,Karmila and Utari if u want to reach out to both Dago and Riau area.. the hotels are close to many distros in Trunojoyo/S Agung area,... for Dago upper side if u hv the budget try Guelis, cheaper option is Patra Jasa, Rumah Ebo, Royal Dago.. maybe can add Rumah Tubagus too... for hotel close to Rumah Mode u can try Retanata, Sany Rossa, and Grand Seriti (cheap to expensive in that order)
Food.. just walk into the restaurant... no worries :) but i recommend Warung Ampera (its all over town for cheaper fast food type).. Saung Kabayan, Sajian Sambara and Bumbu Desa for restaurant type..price is higher of course.. beware of the sambal if your stomach is not tough :)

Hi mat_asri,
Do you have any information on Progo Hotel and Karmila Hotel? Any website, email or any information?
May I know how do you book/reserve the hotel?
I%26#39;m on a budget and going to visit Bandung in 2 weeks time.
Thanks in advance :)
Hi Insane708, you can call Hotel Progo directly to make the booking. Their no. is +62 22 420 6249. If not mistaken, the rate is Rph250k (weekday) and Rph315,000 (weekend) inclusive breakfast for 2 per room.
Hotel Karmila, Jl. Ir. H. Juanda No. 32
Bandung - 40135
phone/faxcimile : +62 22 4206778
maybe u can check out this hotel too, right next door to DSE FO: Hotel Utari. Jl. Ir. H. Juanda 50 Bandung 40115. Ph/fax: +62-22-4206810
Both hotels have no website but u can call direct to book, I dun think they need any deposit as long as u can arrive there by 2pm, if not they will give away the room to walk in customers.
