    We were a bit surprised when we asked one of the staff where the hotel pool was, but he didn't know. For the JW marriott we would expect the staff to know about the hotel facilities.

    Everything was great. The room clean and staff are really friendly and nice!

    Everything was excellent. Great thanks to the people who work there. They are amazing personalities.

    Breakfast had many great options. Very tasty, high quality. The behaviour of the staff is just amazing. They treat you like a queen. Because of this kindness and hospitality, I will come back exactly to your hotel. The bathroom is amazing, and the room is spacious, with amazing views of the Surabaya panorama. All the best recommendations. I think it is the best hotel in the whole Java!

    A destination that is a world unto itself

    JW Marriott Surabaya is an absolutely beautiful property that boasts many of the best amenities in the city. It is fully self-sufficient with everything you may require within easy reach: not only do you have the usual comforts, like the 6th-floor rooftop pool next to a loveable observation deck and meditation grounds, massage parlour, gym etc.; but also no fewer than five different eateries, each of them a culinary attraction in its own right. We had a very memorable welcome coffee in the lovely bakery downstairs (hi Fera!) and a very enjoyable dinner in the steakhouse, rightfully proud to be the best in Surabaya. In fact, while the city itself is vibrant, colourful and alive, it can also be a bit much at times, and this hotel with its lowkey luxurious rooms, comfy beds and immaculate facilities is just what one needs to recharge. Speaking of recharging, the absolutely mind-blowing breakfast deserves a special mention—I don't think I ever saw a similarly wild choice of different cuisines and mouthwatering dishes served with comparable elegance anywhere else. You could basically disregard everything else I wrote and simply come for the breakfast and you wouldn't be disappointed. Finally, staff here are exceptionally friendly (shoutout to the extraordinary Afdilah who had to tolerate my incessant questioning and helped us throughout our stay) even by Indonesian standards, and that's a hard bar to clear. All in all, it's a place I'd come back to just to stay in the hotel, even though venturing out is a breeze, too—JW Marriott is very well located in the centre of the city and most of the local attractions are within easy reach.

    My room didn't have a bathtub. The swimming pool is really at the center of the hotel, so it is less private. The western breakfast could be slightly better, like adding cheese.

    Beautiful hotel with superb service and staff. Stunning swimming pool, large, and with beautiful mosaic floor. Great gym. Breakfast was great. The room was large, clean, and super comfortable bed. Good location. Highly recommend the massages in the spa!

    We liked everything! This has been our best stay ever. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The swimming pool is beautiful, calming and not too busy. The sauna is also a good touch. The breakfast was extraordinary with so many options. The morning we weren’t able to make it to breakfast because of our climb to Mount Bromo, the concierge had breakfast for us ready the night before for us to take away. When we left we had the best help from the concierge to send one of our suitcases to send off to our next accommodation. Every single staff member was super friendly and always willing to help with everything. Thank you for this amazing stay!
