The Grand Palace Hotel Malang

I always stay here when I go to Malang. It's a pretty new hotel with classical style.

It's very clean and the staff are friendly. They have these huge sofas at the lobby, makes you feel comfortable while waiting.

I stayed in the Superior and Deluxe rooms in different occasions. The rooms are not too big, a bit small as a matter of fact. But I don't really like the bathroom. For these types of rooms, I think the bathrooms are not usual, too small and the toilet is under the shower (so you can do two activities at the same time, lol). Beside that, there's no complain.

The breakfast is good, they serve local and western food with different varieties.

The hotel's located in a strategic location in the heart of the town, very close to the traditional market, a mall and of course my favourite "Toko Oen", an old Dutch coffee shop.

The rates per night ranged from USD 50 - USD 130. And one other thing, they have this cheap Karaoke room, which is only IDR 40,000 (= USD 4) per hour!! So it's good to try sometimes.
