Hotel Atria (a new hotel in 2013)

Jl Letjen S Parman No 87-89

I really don’t recommend this place. They say it’s a 4-star hotel but the service is very poor, there's no way this is a 4-star hotel. I had to change room twice. The first room don’t have any window. The second room smells so unpleasant that it made me had a sore throat after spending about 2 hours in that room. To top that all, the hotel employee didn’t believe me when I told her about the room and wasn’t very helpful at all.

Oh, one more thing. There’s a leak in the ballroom.

the room without any window

kalo mo liat sunset, bisa dari gn dingklik alias penanjakan 2. tp dr sini bromo nya ketutupan ama batok. tp tetep bagus ko viewnya.

trus trus, sekitar 45 menit dari ngadisari, ada air terjun namanya madakaripura. sumpeh, ni aer terjun bagus banget. perlu trekking dikit ke sananya, nyebrang2 sungai kecil. ga berat ko. must see!

sedikit tentang air terjun madakaripura:
