Hotel Santika Premiere Semarang

Hotel Santika Premiere Semarang has always been my go-to place to stay ever since I was a kid, and I’m glad to say the service has remained consistently excellent over the years. I stayed in room 505 from 1–6 April 2025 while visiting my hometown and family in Semarang during Lebaran, and it was a wonderful experience. The room was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped with great facilities and amenities. The food was delicious, offering a wide variety—with a special mention for the Semarang traditional food corner, which added a nice local touch. Special thanks to Mr. Abel at the restaurant, who was very helpful and friendly. The other staff were also incredibly helpful and hospitable, making me feel welcome throughout my stay. I always feel at home here and will definitely keep coming back in the future!

the accommodation was great and comforting after-work, it was also very nice to meet such friendly staffs who helped me throughout my stay. shoutout to kak devi from the staff who was very cheerful in the morning, you made my day^^

Disappointing for a "4-Star" - More Like a 3-Star with Room for Improvement I recently stayed at Hotel Santika Premiere Semarang and while its city center location is excellent, I found the overall experience to be quite underwhelming for a hotel marketed as 4-star. In my opinion, it feels more like a 3-star property, primarily due to its aged condition and lack of upkeep. First, a significant inconvenience is the absence of an elevator from the parking area, making it difficult to transport luggage. The hotel generally feels old and outdated. My room, in particular, showed signs of wear and tear: the bed sheets and furniture looked worn out, and the washbasin sink and shower drain were clogged. What was most concerning was the presence of mold in the washroom, indicating a need for more thorough maintenance. Cleanliness also seemed to be an issue, as some of the plates were not clean. The breakfast, while available, was average with limited options, especially for foreign visitors, being predominantly Indonesian food. The bread and croissants were not good either. Even basic amenities like shampoo and body soap were of basic quality. While the location is truly fantastic, right in the city center, the hotel's current condition detracts significantly from the overall stay. It has the potential to be a great hotel, but a substantial renovation and a stronger focus on cleanliness and guest comfort are urgently needed to truly justify its 4-star rating.
