Quiet homely hotel in the center of town”
Splendid Inn is located very near the Malang Train Station. You can walk from the station to Splendid, though it would be a little strenuous if you have a lot of heavy baggage. Otherwise, even a becak ride (bike ride with front seats) is a little embarassing. I took one because I didn't want to carry my 9kg baggage. Splendid is located beside Balai Kota, the stately city hall. The beautiful roundabout garden in front of Splendid Inn and Balai Kota has several mikrolet or angcots (small commuter vans) that can take you anywhere in the city for a measly 2,500 rupiah, you just have to ask your hotel for specific signs like "LA" or "ADH", etc. My room was Room 21 at the 2nd floor set at the back of the compound. it was more than spacious; in fact, it could be divided further into 3 medium sized rooms. The room looked dated, but the bed is comfortable and clean. The bathroom is huge. Breakfast was interesting. Coffee included an osterized avocado that was supposedly added to your coffee mix. I chose the rice meal with fried egg. People manning the front counter were friendly but this counter is abandoned most times so you're left mostly on your own. If you see a septuagenarian silver haired couple lounging around, they are the owners. They are aloof but I wasn't there to fraternize with them so I didn't mind, though it's a little off to offer a polite smile & get a blank stare in return. Malang is a lot more charming than Surabaya. in fact, it's a world away from the chaotic, pedestrian-unfriendly capital of East Java. Somehwre at the back of Splendid Inn is a local market, a flower market that eventually leads you to the alun-alun. Nearby are KFC, McDonald's, several churches (mostly close), a charming park and a beautiful mosque.

A Splendid Inn Indeed”
splendid inn located in the central part of malang. five minutes walk to the train station, +/- 5 minutes walk to the kayutangan area (lots of shop and restaurant there) and lots of public transportation or "bemo" passing the hotel. i arrived at 8.00 am. when i gave the confirmation sheet to the receptionist (which you have to shout to get serviced) she said my room wasn't ready yet and i have to wait untill check in time at 12.00 pm. but after i mentioned that i have an early appointment they rush to prepare my room and it was ready in about 30 minutes or so. the receptionist also asked me whether i want tea or coffee delivered to my room just before i went to my room. never had that experienced in another modern hotel. this hotel is so old fashioned they even still used the traditional key with it's oversized key chain. i found that more convenient rather than the electronic key card you have to swipe. the room i stayed in was very spacious (approx. 4x6 m2) with a long bathroom (app. 1,4x6 m2) with a bathtub. with the price i got from agoda.com this room is a bargain. the room accomodation is quite (again) old fashioned with the exeception of an ac and a flat tv. no problem here, even kinda enjoyed the simple amenities they have. the hotel also has a adequate size swimming pool. but i didn't have the chance to swim. i leave the hotel and didn't return until around 3 pm. a hot bath is indeed needed after a long day. the problem is there isn't a hot water running, just luke warm. you even have to wait about 10 min or so to get luke warm water. the hotel really need to handle that problem. overall, i enjoyed staying at splendid inn. i like the simplicity they have. am definitely going back to this hotel. if you are looking for a simple family style hotel with affordable prices and within walking distance to downtown malang then i recommend splendid inn.

New Management has Eliminated Breakfast (sigh!)”
Splendid Inn is one-of-a-kind, a special place where you can experience what traveling in Indonesia was a generation or more ago, before new hotel chains began to construct homogenous high-rise accommodation everywhere. It has joined the Red Doorz chain, which has wisely kept the unique ambience of Splendid Inn unchanged. The one change that I regret is that the delicous traditional breakfast (omlette, smoked meat, fresh cut vegetables and fruit, toast with butter and homemade fruitspread, juice and coffee) is no longer included with an overnight stay. I really Splendid Inn would bring back this breakfast! It was the perfect way to wake up each morning at this lovely old inn!

Nice hotel with great location”
We arrived to Malang by train and Splendid Inn was easy to reach from the train station with 5 mins walk. The staff was nice and immediately offered us tea and coffee delivered to our room. The room was very spacious and nice. The breakfast was good. You could choose between Nasi Goreng and toast. We had toast which came with ham and cheese, coffee or tea, juice, banana and eggs. Excellent value for money.

Very friendly staff, eccentric heritage pieces and a great location”
Even by the generally very high standards of friendliness of the people in Indonesia the staff at Splendid Inn were delightful. (When I casually mentioned that I was leaving early for a trip to Mount Bromo they went of their way to prepare a packed lunch in lieu of breakfast). The hotel was clearly designed with an American motel in mind but is also filled with old maps and furniture from Java. The common areas feel strangly cosy - like you are staying with an eccentric Indonesian aunt with too many hobbies. The downside? It's certainly seen better days. The rooms are remarkably large but could do with being repainted. Hot water is on demand with a friendly porter popping over to make sure that you're shower is satisfactory. Given the low price though I felt these inconveniences could easily be forgiven. Location is a five minute walk from the train station so ideal if you are doing Java by rail (which I would also recommend)

Please Stay Just the Way You Are (and Always Have Been)!”
I love the Splendid Inn. It does not offer much in terms of facilities, but it is the closest thing to staying in the home of old friends. I love its unchanging appearance, so that it is indeed always like going back home. (I stay here at least once every year.) The swimming pool is now gone, but understandably so. I was perhaps the only guest who ever used it. Otherwise, the management has wisely retained everything the same, even though Splendid Inn has joined the Red Doorz chain. Just one request - Please get rid of the huge gaudy RED DOORZ letters that now stand in front of the hotel on Jl. Majapahit - It's an eyesore!

Great Location and Warm Staff ”
We arrived at 1AM at the gate right next to Tugu Hotel. We were so confused since it was dark and no one was there. It looked like a long-abandoned building!. Everything else went well after we got to the lobby. Staff was warm and helpful, old but huge room (we got room #16) with huge glass windows, warm shower - not hot but perfect temperature, cool aircon, WiFi at the lobby/restaurant area, swimming pool - unfortunately was being cleaned then, breakfast was classic Nasi Goreng (delicious!), banana, tomato juice (too sweet!) and coffee/tea. Location was perfect but the sidewalk outside the hotel was under reconstruction. We walked to the Station, Alun-Alun Malang Park, etc. Becak, GoJek, taxi and angkot were also easy to get.

almost antique but lovely”
actually check-in time was supposed to be at 2 pm, buat when we arrived at 8.30 am, we were graciously received by the receptionist, and immediately checked-in. the whole staff was so courteous and helpful. before making our way to the room we were asked to inform the receptionist whenever we want to use hot water to take our bath. we did, and we had hot water to take our bath in the bath tub. it is quite rare now to have bath tubs in hotel bath rooms. no doubt the hotel is old, and the facilities are rather dated, buat we do not mind, especially since the rate is so cheap. overall we are very satisfied and will surely come again whenever we are in malang.

A Splendid Hotel”
I enjoyed my short stay in the Hotel Splendid. It has a great location for visiting Malang. The staff and other guests were all very friendly. The staff were very polite and helpful. Maps, information and motor bike rental were easily accomplished. It was a very quiet and peaceful hotel on a very busy roundabout. I only had the breakfast on one day as I preferred to have coffee and cakes in the local coffee shops. The hot water was plentiful and it was available the minute you asked for it. The room and bathroom were clean. I would describe it as quaint and old fashioned but in this day and age that is not always a bad thing ! I would use it again !

Always Happy to Stay at Splendid”
I'm always happy to stay at Splendid. It is basic and old-fashioned, but that is what I like best about it. And the staff are extraordinarily good. From this location, you can walk to most places in the old center of Malang (all within 1-2 kilometers).

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Splendid Inn”
I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Splendid Inn. It is a quiet old place with a home-like atmosphere. What it lacks in amenities it makes up for in coziness. As a former long-term foreign resident of Indonesia, I am very comfortable at Splendid Inn. It is my preferred place to stay whenever I visit Malang. It struck me that the other European guests at Splendid Inn were also older and had long residency in Indonesia.

Splendid Inn a splendid place to stay”
A lovely hotel in the old style - high ceilings, great ambience, like stepping back in time. The staff were friendly, always helpful. Breakfast was great. Had a lovely family feel which we enjoyed very much. Would stay there again and recommend for any sort of traveller. Location is great. Looking out onto Malang city central park. Easy to walk to various interesting sites and markets such as the animal market. Big choice of eating locations all within close walking distance. Train also very close.

Great place to stay for a night given the price!”
I arrived in Malang early in the morning and was able to check in early. It is close to the train station and to the town center as well. All within walking distance. The flower and bird market is also very closeby. The room I had was quite big and comfortable. This isn't a luxurious hotel by any means and it is quite old with its own rustic charm. Breakfast served was ok. If you need additional breakfast, the oldest bread store in town is near the corner as well. Just walk out towards the roundabout and take the 9oclock exit. You should walk past another hotel and the bakery is like 2 minutes walk away.

Simple, but pleasant”
I am a former long-term foreign resident of Java and return frequently. Splendid Inn may appeal more easily to persons who are comfortable being in Java, accepting he place on its own terms. I enjoy being in Java and staying at Splendid Inn,

Just Like "Home"”
It's always a pleasure to stay at this very nice place. It is conveniently located within a 15 to 20-minute walking distance of most places that I visit during my regular trips to Malang. And there are many long-term members of the staff who graciously welcome me back for each stay.

Simple hotel, great location”
Facing "Alun-alun Bundar" (historical square), next to City Hall, beside the famost boutique Tugu Hotel. In the walking distance to the Malang Railway Station, the famost "Inggil Resto". All hotel staffes are polite and welcome. The room big enough and clean. The lobby is full of antique furniture bring us to the 60s. I like this simple hotel.
