Once known as the Oranje Hotel during Dutch colonial times the historic Majapahit makes a stylish and historic choice to stay in Surabaya, East Java. This five star hotel has a lot to offer all of its guests including those traveling for business. You will find that the 150 rooms are luxurious, comfortable, and all contain the amenities to make your stay really comfortable.
Your room amenities will include a minibar, television, air conditioning, and in-room movies. You can also use 24 hour room service, a wake up call, city transfers, restaurants, and laundry services such as dry cleaning, washing, and pressing. Guests can also enjoy the sauna, the outdoor pool, tennis courts, and the fitness center. Reserve a room.
Hotel Majapahit is at Jalan Tunjungan 65 in Surabaya, East Java.
The Majapahit Hotel (formerly known as Oranje Hotel) is similar in style to the Borobudur Hotel ( http://hotels.indonesiamatters.com/763-borobudur-hotel-jakarta/ ) in Jakarta: an old-style hotel with large grounds and gardens in a strategic location in the centre of Surabaya.
The room itself was surprisingly spacious, although getting there took a while as it is an open-plan hotel and lifts were hard to find. The bathroom was also top notch, with separate bath and shower areas. TV had Telkom Vision, with most of the desired channels on offer.
Gym, spa, sauna and steam room are all on offer, and usually you will be the only person there – you may need to turn on the sauna or steam room when you first arrive.
The pool and kiddie pool were nice; the former was only big enough for playing, not swimming laps.
Breakfast was also really nice, with e.g. 12 different flavours of fruit juice, pancakes and waffles made to order and French-style bread/baguettes.
The only negative experience was being charged Rp50 000 for my 3 year old daughter breaking the glass her complimentary welcome drink came in. It’s not the first time she has broken something, but it is the first time we have had to pay for it.
Another point of interest: while there was CCTV throughout the hotel, unlike most of their 5-star peers ( http://www.indonesiamatters.com/7518/hotel-security/ ) there was zero security for taxis arriving at the hotel and no metal detector or x-ray machine at the entrance.
