Topas Galeria Hotel

Topas Galeria is an ok tourist class hotel, located next to a very busy road (cross at your own risk!) rather far from the center of of Bandung but there's a large shopping mall in short walking distance.

The rooms are not too large, have outdated furniture and are not really spectacular but provide all comfort you'd expect from a tourist class hotel: air- conditioning, minibar, telephone and tv. Also the bathroom is very outdated but nonetheless clean.

Too bad you get brutally awakened very early each morning from the prayers calls coming from the nearby minarettes.

The hotel features a small pool, and a bar where there was live music each night.

We ate one night at the buffet restaurant but I cannot recommend it. The food at the nearby mall is much better and much cheaper too.

The breakfast is a large American style buffet but is not too hygienic. Especially the large pots with one spoon used by all did not look too appealing to me.
