Stayed one night on transit and liked the place so much I went back on my return journey. Rooms were clean, beds were very comfortable and facilities were good and worked with no issues. Staff were very friendly, and location is exceptionally good, particularly if traveling via train from Tawang. Breakfast was possibly the best hotel breakfast I've ever seen, with two a la carte options and a side buffet.

Simple breakfast yet extra ordinary, delicious sourdough bread with range of choices.. The location right in the middle of kota lama semarang, just a walk away from tourist location. We'll stay again next trip

Great location, reasonable facilities. A little bit hipster, "save the world" in its theme, but maybe that's just me. Staff were most accommodating

Aesthetic and very comfortable! But not totally soundproof but its ok!

The double room was fine for one night but was quite small. For a longer stay, I’d book one of the larger rooms.

The hotel has a very youthful vibe but we felt welcome & comfortable (in our 60s!). The room we chose was quite small but comfortable & well designed. The hotel is slap-bang in the middle of the old Kota Lama area. We had a view of the Blenduk church. If I was staying more than one night, I’d opt for the larger room. The breakfast offered is very good: you can choose something from the a la carte menu (both Indonesian & Western) plus there is self serve coffee, tea, juice, fruit, cereals, toast & rice porridge. It was all really good. There are restaurants close by. We loved Maishin Isakaya & would have eaten there more than once if we’d been here longer. An early walk to the bustling street market in the Chinatown area (Kauman) is fun. The hotel is also in easy walking distance to the train station.!

Suggestion: mattress needs to be rotated regularly to avoid uneven dip and sag. Perhaps need firmer mattress too.

Great location, good and friendly service, good breakfast, and stylish hotel.

Quirky, clean, great staff, good location.Tasty breakfast- many choices. A new fresh take on how to design & run hotels.

- The sheets were washed and clean but contained some old stains. - The staff is really nice and friendly but comes across as insecure or with lack of experience.

Location is amazing! Hotel is modern, breakfast was nice and room was clean. The bed was also very comfy.

Staff was always bussy, maybe they should hire more staff. Small car park.

Unique ambience, a modern architecture hotel located in the middle of Semarang's Old Dutch Colonial buildings. Simple but nice breakfast. Nice Room. Family friendly.

The room was unique and we got beautiful view to the park and old Church. The hotel also has the water refill which is plus. The food was amazing too.

After a week exploring Java Island we came back to Semarang and Kotta Hotel. Love the staff, they are friendly and helpful! Have to mention also that the beds have two big pillows, so comfy. Had such a good sleep. We had an early flight and the staff made us breakfast on the go before 5am!

The room was damp and I could smell the sink. My room was right above a street where kids were hanging out rather loudly until at least 2 am.

The staff was so amazing and helped me with everything. They even picked me up from the train station, which was in walking distance, but I had a heavy piece of luggage and they helped me with it. There were healthy options for breakfast which I appreciated.

Perfect location. Comfortable room. Many nice restaurants and cafes are around the corner

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

Two little things: There could be more storage space The ac is very direct over the bed.

What a beautiful place! Love the style, attention to details, amazing breakfast and the location is really best to explore Semarang Kota Lama.

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.

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.

No possibility to order a coffee half an hour before closing restaurant...

well designed hotel

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.

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.
