My Studio Hotel City Center is set in Surabaya, 300 metres from Submarine Monument, and features a garden, a shared lounge and a restaurant.

Only one toilet and shower on each floor, which are shared by up to 30 people. Otherwise it was okay. For breakfast there was only 2 slices of bread for me to eat. (unlucky I guess). Place does its job, an affordable place to stay while transiting through Surabaya, especially since I was leaving by train, and the train station was a 10min walk away.

Looking for a hostel?
Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    We just needed a place to stay for one night before we take the train to our next destination. It’s situated in the heart of Chinatown, and isn’t very far from Tunjungan and Old town. Pretty good for value if you’re on a budget like us.

    Great location in surabaya, roght in between two massive shopping mall complexes and near local restaurants and attractions. Staff were super friendly and this hotel also pffers gym facilities and the room was brand new and cleaned every day. Also included is buffet style breakfast which we had every morning. Would highly recommend and will be back again when we come to Surabaya! 10/10

    Room was clean and bed was comfortable. Location was close to airport and restaurants using a taxi or grab. Very reasonable price. Safe location as gate and door are locked at night by staff onsite.

    The location near the train station Gubeng is convenient if you‘re just on a one night stop over here. Also the price is obviously very cheap.

    Staff was nice, simple breakfast included. Great location next to Gubeng station. Airconditioned rooms, pleasant common room. Very cheap. Really, you can't expect too much for that price.

    The Hotel itself is in a great location. The room was a lovely suite, even as the cheapest option. The breakfast was excellent and had a wide range of cuisines. The pool was lovely and quiet, even though the gym was adjacent and we were close to a busy road. Staff were exceptional and I would gladly stay here again.
