Surya Yudha Hotel

This hotel is probably the best in Banjarnegara - since there are no competitions anyway in their price bracket. The location is huge with waterpark, cinema, futsal field, etc. with some quirky knock-offs of Liberty statue, Merlion and even Marina Bay Sands! I stayed at Executive Room. It was really spacious but felt very empty as the furniture was quite sparse. They have no non-smoking rooms so the room has a strong smell of cigarette. Bed is old and there are stains on the bed sheet. I think they need to upgrade the room to make it more comfortable, since we paid almost IDR 700k for the room. The best thing about the room is probably the Wifi speed - sufficient enough to watch Netflix. The staff is quite friendly so that's another plus point to appreciate. Breakfast tasted OK but is quite standard for the price, with some selections of local food such as nasi kuning/yellow rice, nasi uduk/coconut rice, chicken, fried tempe/tofu, vegetables, and some local delicacies. Room service is very affordable with dishes priced at around 20k and above. However, the taste is just so so. It's better to order food via Grabfood as there are plenty of food choices not far from the hotel. Overall, it was not a satisfying stay but there are no better choices anyway in Banjarnegara. Perhaps next time it's better to stay in Wonosobo or Purwokerto.
