ARTOTEL Gajahmada Semarang

Great vibes

Leaving!

Great overnight stay begore early flight to Bali. Very friendly staff and lovely rooftop bar with dj and great pizza.

Nothing

Ambience and quietness

Parking spot. the access was dark, narrow, and limited. Although hotel provides vallet service free of charge.

locations, and the roof top

noisy due to vehicles

ロケーションは良かったと思う。駐車場が狭くて絶望的だった(笑)。がバレットパーキングを利用すれば問題無し。

特にないです。

Ambience, location, unique design with many arts sculptures / paintings. Every room is unique. Fun vibe of the staff.

Adding a gym and swimming pool would be awesome

The achitectuur hotel and..on the rooftop

No

Kebersihan kamar sangat baik, kamar mandi terang dan bersih. Pelayanan dari staff hotel sangat baik dan cepat, sigap/segera dilayani bila diperlukan. Menu sarapan pagi cukup baik utk hotel bintang 3. Dua kamar yg kami pesan terdapat connecting door (sesuai pesanan sehingga keluarga bisa ngumpul2. Lokasi hotel dekat dng pusat keramaian dan area wisata lawang sewu.

Tempat parkir mobil sangat terbatas dan harus menggunakan jasa staf hotel utk valley parkir (gratis). Kamar kurang cerah atau terkesan suram/gelap karena sebagian dinding kamar dicat/dilapisi wall paper dengan warna hitam. View jendela kamar tertutup dinding bangunan samping hotel.

The location was ok and close to the center

It was not that clean, the ac kept making noise and the breakfast was really not upto the mark when compared to the amount charged for it.

Leuk hotel, vriendelijk personeel.lekkere koffie, leuk restaurantje

Geen airco in restaurant, dit was binnen. Dus erg warm

Vehicle access is weird with something like a porte cochere on the first floor. Pedestrian access is stranger with the simplest being to go to the car park and walk out through its vehicle access. We arrived before check-in time and, whereas many hotels will let you check in early if your room is ready, we were firmly told that check in was not until 2pm. The towels in the bathroom were a bit grey. We had dinner at the hotel and service was very slow. Despite that, when my meal arrived, it was cold.

Location is just right in the middle of the city, easy to reach offices, food's center, shopping center, morning walk, & meet friends. I love the campaign of protection children from sexual exploitation in LED's screen.

limited sign to find the hotel. Needs some more lighting around the hotel especially in front of hotel, check in lobby, coridor to find rooms. There was also very limited parking lot, but the hotel provides free valey service out of the hotel building

Emplacement, et plusieurs restaurants a côté de l'hôtel

Le muezzins tonitruant et le manque de piscine

I have the 55m2 unit, and it is very spacious, comfortable and clean. The room is well appointed. Location is also superb.

Breakfast is standard, no pool, no gym, and lobby is limited.

It was amazing. We got upgraded from normal room to suite room. The experience was very amazing, we had such a great time for staying for 1 night. The room is spacious, clean, and has dining table also. The facility already included breakfast and it was good. Lot of variant, from local cuisine until American style breakfast.

Bar with nice cocktails, panoramic view of the city, great Korean restaurant just a few doors down

Great location

Place and design is not bad. Location is nice to go anywhere in Semarang

Facility is too old including AC and faucet. It’s not good experience for me to stay there. I don’t wanna book this hotel anymore. Breakfast is not good compared with art hotel in Jakarta.

It was delightful experience. The location of the hotel is incredibly strategic, making it easy to access key attractions. Getting around is a breeze. The hotel staff very friendly and helpful, They went above and beyond to ensure my stays was comfortable. In terms of pricing, artotel semarang offer great value for money. The rates are reasonable considering My stays was on holiday period. I highly recommend Artotel Semarang for anyone looking for a pleasant and convenient stay.

N/A

Its location. Very strategic and accessible

Parking space is very limited

Location, the design. and shower.

Good location. Compact, straight forward hotel.

Very limited parking. Although they provide free valet service, it's just not convenient for me. Breakfast is so-so. For a person who doesn't eat full meal for breakfast, like me, they are lacking variation.

Location is the best, close to cafê and resto.

The mattress was a bit hard for us. Amenities were limited, no soap for hand washing at the washtafel.

I think just the staff. They are friendly.

1. The parking spaces are very narrow and dark. It's not easy to park your car inside the (so-called) basement which only have tight spaces for 8 cars. 2. The room plan is ridiculous. We were staying on room 607, 608, and 609. The rooms are all lack of proper lighting. To make things worse, several side of the walls were painted black, and they put like a cheap mural with black background. I couldn't even read a book at night due to bad lighting. 3. There are narrow table stretched all the way on one side of the wall. It's so narrow that basically, it's unusable. 4. The towels and the bed sheets are not in good conditions, The colors are no longer white, a bit yellowish I might say. Should be replaced. 5. The WORST of all: This hotel is CHEATER! I paid IDR 1.2++ mil/night, then on the day I checked in, the published price was only IDR 800k. With this kind of standard, the rate should not be more than IDR 400k.

It’s in the good location, close to simpang lima, the landmark of Semarang and there are some restaurant nearby. the room is enough for two people, compact and functional. There’s a espresso machine with tablet provided.

Car entrance and exit are narrow, but the hotel staff are very helpful to assist us with valet and always ready whenever we need the car. Rooftop bar has nice view.

Location is central, and my room was spacious with seating area and benches for works.

The shower can be cleaner, and breakfast can be better.

Nice hotel

I was in Semarang for working trip. My travel agent suggested to stay in Artotel Gajahmada. I have stayed there for 15 days. During my stay, overall I felt satisfied. I love the design of the hotel, it was so chic, modern, and full of art even up to my room. It was so comfortable in every way. . I was highly impressed with its clean and comfortable rooms and additional facilities. The maid always ensured my room immaculate and she even lined up my skincare in the table neatly. The food and beverages were very good. I was impressed by all of staff, especially Mr. Miza Ardhi during my everyday breakfast. He was able to arrange everything I need, very helpful, the service was excellent. Highly recommended! Thank you Artotel -Desy-

Small hotel but room is clean. Wear and tear can be seen though. There is no hair dryer in the room (which I thought is basic amenities) and was told that it has run out. Breakfast was pretty simple.

Cheap and cheerful. Good night light view from rooftop bar.

N.A.

Comfortable bed, nice room, bathroom was clean but could be maintenance better. In general was good stay!

Restaurant wasn’t so good + to the price service and tax will be added after.

Location was good Staffs are superb The design was very good

Nothing

Best location hotel ! Unique design in every rooms. Lot of choices of tourist attraction and culinaries, especially big thanks to Fahmi (who helped us with our transportation to our next destination). Definitely come back to this hotel in our next trip !

Great staff!

I recently stayed at Artotel in Semarang and thoroughly enjoyed my stay. It is a beautiful hotel and very clean. The staff were incredibly helpful and made my stay extremely comfortable. In particular Mr Fahmi and Mr Arifin helped me deal with an issue I was having locally days after I had checked out and returned to Australia. I could not recommend the hotel higher and I will certainly be staying again when I return in the coming months.

The hotel is clean and nicely maintained, with artistic flair throughout. I stayed in a corner room blessed with plenty of natural light. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and the bathroom was spacious with a generous water supply. Breakfast was delicious, made with premium ingredients, and while the variety was limited, it was just right and satisfying. One of the staff, Mr. Adam provided exceptional service during our breakfast, going above and beyond to ensure we felt welcome and well cared for—truly a shining example of hospitality.

the location and the room

there is parking lot

nice room and comfy bed

aircon is too cold (the air is directed to the bed)

Reasonable price, clean room, nice restaurant

Not really central

Great location, very helpful staff. Since less parking space, they are great in handling car valet. I lost my watch in the hotel, and all the staff was helping me to find it, and found underneath the car seat. I also enjoy one of legendary chicken soup in Semarang "Soto Bokoran". Its only 10 minutes walk from the hotel.

The room is spacious compared to other hotels in the surrounding area. If fact I chose this hotel because of this. I would consider staying in this hotel when I have the opportunity.

I was not too fond of the darker ambience of the room and the corridor due to the choice of blackish/dark colour. It would be nice to have a brighter colour as it will certainly brighten up your days.

Nice Hospitality.

Artotel's Hotel Gajah Mada Semarang is a good example of how to make people runaway faster and stay away from staying in a hotel. I chose this hotel after reading a national online paper saying that this is a good hotel, and noticing good reviews this hotel obtained, scored 8.5 out of 10 (excellent). I was hoping that my first stay in Semarang in this hotel become an impressive and memorable one. Instead, it turned out to be a complete nightmare, a very bad impression that I don't want to stay at this hotel in the future, nor to recommend it to other people. The high point that this hotel got from reviewers could be seriously misleading. The hotel is located at Jl. Gajah Mada, Semarang, rather far from Semarang City's tourist attraction, I mean not in a walking distance. So, everywhere I go, I need to book a car via local ride-hailing application. Reception desk (those two women), are inattentive, messy and careless in handling the guests. Wearing faded jeans and black long-sleeves shirt, she sat like a sh.t, with her unfriendly face, no smile and unwilling to help, always look at the computer monitor while her right-hand clicking mouse. She was like a robot. The other woman, the younger one, look incompetent, slow, text-book minded, inattentive, sat like a robot, with her face look at the computer monitor all the way around, not paying enough attention to the guests. With those two ladies, your check-in process will be very messy. Why was that? I put my bags and suitcase early in the morning around 06:30 AM (I got a helping hand from a man at front desk, he was excellent, anyway), and I came back at around 13:20 PM for check in; only to hear those two females saying: "Your room has not ready yet. I will text you when the room is ready, within 20-25 minutes". Fine. I very well understand that hotel check in is normally 14:00 PM. I accepted that. Then I sat on the non-convenience sofa just right in front of the reception desk while waiting my room readied for me. But after 14:00PM I got no text message. No information. Nothing. While I saw many people, many guests, who just arrived after me, accepted for check-in right afterwards, with no delay, no waiting, and they got their room keys right afterward. Why was that? Why they haven't given me my room? Did I do something wrong that many people got their rooms quickly while that was not my case? After I walked down and approached those two reception ladies, and asked why they did not give me my room key for check-in, they said that they forgot to handle my check-in. Then, when I complained and asked why they delayed my check-in, they did not answer me. They answered me after I repeated my question. They said that they forgot to handle my check-in process and said sorry. Finally, I got my room-keys after waiting for 45 minutes. I got a very very bad experience of check-in at Artotel Gajah Mada Semarang. My mood went down so fast. My story did not stop here. Entering the Room, I found the pillows and the bed cover were dirty. Those 4 pillows and the bed cover seemed to be pillows that were used by previous guests. How can I say that? Well, I saw those pillows and the bed cover were dirty. I saw fallen hairs on the pillow. Other proof were the pillows and bed-cover were wrinkled, they were not a fresh, newly washed bed cover and pillows that normally neatly ironed. Pillow covers and bed cover seemed to be low standard of quality, and dirty, and dusty mattress. Other things. Some parts of the wall-paper were peeled and cracked, while the iron-frame of the mirror in the bathroom was rusted. TV table was also cracked in some parts. In the restaurant where guests have their breakfast, there are many mosquitos. With capacity of 9 cars, the parking lot in the basement is very limited. If this parking lot is full, guest parks their car in the side-street in front of the hotel at their own-risk. Claimed to be a 3 star-hotel with nightly room rate was around Rp.800.000 (around US$53), this property is definitely not worth your money, nor recommendable. You’d better choose other hotel that have a better deal and better quality.

Excellent, best hospitality. Staying here was really enjoyable, thank you, the place is clean and I like the design. I got a room that I wanted and it's very great bedroom with lovely bathroom, spacious, clean and very modern. The view in my bedroom was city view and that's amazing especially in the night with all city lights. Thank you for the great service. Next come here again.

+ Huge room and modern design + There is no problem with the staff + Great location of the hotel quite near everywhere + Available Roof top bar upstairs - The parking area is small for the car but they give us vallet service - The hotel lobby concept is a small lobby like industrial modern concept

This been my third or fourth stay in this hotel, their strategic location is one of reason i stayed here. Property itself was okay, check in process is fast and efficient, room was clean and bit dark due to black painted wall in some room area but its comfortable. Spacious bathroom, lack of soap and shampoo provided (only 1 pouch each) so we need to ask for more. Breakfast was just okay. Very limited parking area, they provide vallet service but cars are located in commercial area in front of hotel. Anyway with their room rates it can be a good choice for short stay.
