Banana Inn And Spa Hotel Bandung

Check in no hassle, room is big and comfy. Bathroom could have been better. Overall good. Breakfast needs more variety, at 8 am already ran out of food. Seems understaffed, hope this hotel can survive the pandemic till the end.

This was one of my most favourite hotel back in 2012. I always come back to Banana Inn whenever I'm in town, their Breakfast was one of the best back then. I guess covid pandemic worsen this hotel into something else. When I entered the room, bed sheets were all grey (and towel as well), sofa were stained, and the toilet are bit smelly. There was no hot water in any hours (At first I thought maybe they'll turn on the water heater in the morning...but NOT!). And also we have to pay parking in the premises now (As I recall it was free back then). The only good part was the price that I got because I've booked from KAGUM website directly. Breakfast menu was varies, but not as good as I remembered back in 2019. I wish they could improved hotel maintenance and bring back the good old times in Banana Inn.

For a price of 700k+ rupiahs a room per night, it's not really worth it. For one, this hotel feels old. Maybe affected by the pandemic. It was a bit difficult to find at night, no lights indicating the entrance. One of our rooms had a smokey smell. The pillowcases were a bit yellowish. The chairs seem to have not been vacuumed well. There is only one available electric outlet, three if you unplug the lamps by the mirror. The cabinet had one loose joint, and the light is off. The AC is somewhat loud, but the air is cool so no need to turn it on often, at least. There is no electric socket by the electric water kettle. The floor is clean, though, which is definitely a joy! There were only one of each shampoo, soap, and toothbrush in my room, even though it was a twin bed room. Another room got a pair. The water heater is barely heating up, the other rooms are better, though. Oh, there's a hair dryer! The breakfast was good, not spicy. The lobby had a full set of angklung! There's a swimming pool by the cafe.
