The Kotta Hotel is in a lovely location in Oude Stad, the part of Semarang with many beautiful buildings dating back to when Indonesia was still under Dutch colonial rule. Especially at night there is a wonderful atmosphere in this neighborhood, with quite a few good restaurants around. The main reason though for choosing this hotel was that it is very close to Semarang Tawang railway station from where the train to Jakarta leaves. We actually walked there, with suitcases, in under 10 min., though of course you could also take a Grab. The hotel is modern, hip and trendy. The rooms are clean with good airconditioning. Breakfast was a combination of a cereal, fruit, juice and tea and coffee buffet and an à la carte menu with warm dishes, both Indonesian and Western. All very good. The staff was friendly and helpful. There’s an Indomart right across the street if you need some groceries.

We were surprised that when we returned to the hotel at 9.30h we couldn’t get any none alcoholic drinks anymore: no tea, no coffee, no juice, no mocktails. When you’re traveling as a family sometimes you don’t want alcohol. There was a kettle in the room but only coffee, no tea. The airconditioning in our room was rather noisy, sounding a bit like a washing machine.

Excellent value for the money. It's a quaint little boutique hotel in the heart of old town. While the rooms are small the beds are large and comfy. The staff was amazing and the breakfast was rather unique, you order from 6 choices and they also have fruits and cereal as well. Oh, and don't forget to try the soft server icer cream down near the lobby, yummy.

The elevator is rather slow which is fine but sometimes the staff rides without carrying anything. I know, sounds harsh but waiting for the lift when you are in a hurry can be frustrating.

The location was close to many beautiful sites, cafes and restaurants. They had a water dispenser on the floor's corridor. the lobby was cute and Instagram able and the coffee served in the hotel's café was good.

they could add the breakfast selections although the ones already available were quite good. They could put a mini refrigerator in the rooms. They could do with newer towels, although the ones we were given were not that bad.

It is a modern hotel with a contemporary design. Very friendly staff. They have a bar and a restaurant with good food. The a la carte poached eggs breakfast options were delicious. The room is small a bit like Ibis. But everything works well. Free mineral water in the hallway. Good wifi. Toilet and shower separate which is really good for 2 people sharing. Located right in the center of the old town near to bars and restaurants

We stayed there for two nights and everything was perfect. Good restaurant (with amazing food and original beverages), perfect location (5 minutes walk from train station and in the old town), cozy atmosphere and nice decoration of the hotel in general, useful lockers in the lobby and the staff was always smiling, polite and helpful. On the first night it rained so much that our room ceiling was leaking a bit, and in less than 5 minutes they found a solution and gave us another room. I would definitely recommend this hotel, it’s a bit more expensive than other places but so original cozy and worth the value.

Everything was perfect ! If I really had to find something I would say the buffet breakfast we had on our second morning was not as good as the breakfast « a la carte » we had on our first morning.

Fantastic location. Clean room with nice big windows. My husband and I ended up extending our visit here because it was so comfortable. Restaurant breakfast was great.

The location in the old town is great, but it does get a bit loud at night due to the number of people wandering around and events. Also, the bathroom only has a glass wall (partially frosted) between you and the bed, so be aware of that before sharing a room with a friend.

Location is good, it's at the center of kota lama Semarang, next to gereja blenduk and Spiegel, 8 mins walk to stasiun Tawang. Room is clean, got hair dryer, nice shampoo and body shower gel. They also provide water dispenser in each floor. Breakfast is nice, got egg counter too. WiFi provided. Bed is comfy.

From inside the room, can hear loud noise from performance outside the hotel on saturday evening until 11 pm.

Great location Very nice staff Comfy bed Good breakfast Generally, I was very happy with my stay, and if not a couple of issues, I would rate it higher.

There were some cockroaches in the room! Overall, it seemed clear, but they were there. The shower warter was barely warm, definitely not hot. Early in the morning there was almost no water running in the tap.

1. Location is in tourism area, old Semarang city 2. Surrounding area has so many resto-s and shops 3. Near train station : Tawang, 10 minutes by walking.

1. The room is quite small and lack of furniture 2. Strong camphor smell 3. No local Semarang food for breakfast 4. Access to hotel is quite tough esp. on weekend starting from friday night.

Great location in the old town just to be revitalized in a going out quarter with a lot of restaurants and other event spaces around. The design is what is probably called live style hotels today. Colourful and a bit fancy but nice overall. The station is about 10 minutes walk away from the Tawang train station.

The place to put this is a bit limited for two in the room.
