“Cold, boring decoration, unwelcoming room.”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed November 4, 2012

The day before we checked in at Sensa, we were staying at a another hotel across the road. (I have stayed at three different hotels in Bandung.) This trip, we decided to go for Sensa because of the wonderful reviews at tripadvisor and due to the hotel's proximity to shopping mall.

Oh boy, it turned out to be the most uncomfortable room(s) I've ever stayed in Bandung.

I stayed at two different rooms here- superior twin and junior suite.
The twin-bed room was nothing to shout about, but the junior suite was terrible.
It lacked character and tried so hard to be minimalist that it turned out 'empty' instead of 'pretty'. (I should have guessed that from the lobby/reception area- blank white wall, not enough chairs/sofa in the lobby for guests to sit while waiting for taxis to pick them up or for check-in/check-out process).
It felt cold and it didn't help that the hotel floor was super cold and the hotel gave super thin slippers. It lacks warmth.
In terms of function, everything feels out of place and unreachable. The room just didn't feel cosy, somehow. The rooms had two huge pillars in the room, somehow I feel the furniture was awkwardly arranged.
It feels uninviting. We couldn't wait to get out.

There was only one functioning elevator during the whole duration of stay so it got pretty crowded in the morning.
Only ONE bottle of shower gel, ONE bottle of shampoo, ONE spoon.. for two persons. REALLY??

Have to sign a slip every time you ask for an iron, they did not trust their clients maybe? Not to mention it took several phone calls and 6 hours to get the iron delivered. Housekeeping needs to keep up!

But there some plus points here- the pre reception service was good. A person named Anna responded to my email efficiently. The hotel has complimentary pick-up service, but they don't provide the same to the airport (Rp75,000 per car). The reception was ok. The location is superb because CiWalk is just next door.

Their breakfast got to be the best I've tasted in Bandung. The porridge/bubur nasi, freshly brewed coffee and cappuccino, wide selection of pastries were just lovely.

But breakfast alone won't get me to return here.

They should get another interior designer.

“Good Hotel worth staying”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed October 4, 2012

Went there with family on week day to avoid horrible traffic of week ends in bandung ( better off staying in jakarta on WE) Stayed there 4 days/3nights. Hotel located next to mall, that road is one of the main roads in bandung and is always busy especially on week ends. Check in was ok, rooms are good enough, clean, linen clean as well. Bathroom has basic amenities, that are refilled every day. B'fast was good, they serve good coffee in the morning and we especially loved their 'tempe' it's fried soya bean, we had dinner in their restaurant and food was good, we ordered a la carte. There is a small pool, water was a bit cold but enough for a swim.
Would go back to that hotel, service was good and friendly.
Only a pity that restaurant is closed after 10 pm, so don't expect to have a drink unless you grab a taxi or take your car to go somewhere else to chill out in the evening.

“Ideal Location With Big Room”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed September 15, 2012

Located nearby ciwalk and just sitting next to cihampelas walk, it is definitely one of the best hotel I ever stayed with my mom. The room is so spacious and as well as the bathroom. It is fully equipped with amenities and equipments. Although the breakfast is so-so, but this hotel definitely makes me want to return again if going Bandung again in the future. Thumbs up for this excellent hotel.
