Malang's BEST Deluxe Room: 10 Mins to BNS! ✨
Okay, buckle up buttercups, because we're diving headfirst into the whirlwind that is the BEST Deluxe Room in Malang! ✨ Seriously, "Best" is a bold claim, but after my recent stay, I’m kinda leaning that way. Let's break it down, shall we? Because, let's be honest, planning a getaway can be a total cluster… but hey, that's where the fun starts, right?
First Impressions & The "Oh, HELL YES!" Factor (Room & Ambiance)
So, picture this: you've been battling traffic, dodging rogue scooters (it's Malang, it happens), and you finally… finally… pull up. The exterior looks… well, clean. Not sterile, you know? It actually felt inviting. The room itself? Okay, I walked in and this is a true story I actually let out a little "Ooh!" It’s the Deluxe Room, remember? They weren’t kidding. It felt… spacious. Like, I could actually do a little jig in there without knocking over furniture. (Which, trust me, is a huge win for a clumsy gal like me.) The decor? Modern, clean lines. Not overly fussy, which I dig. There’s air conditioning – a MUST. And blackout curtains? Absolute game-changer for those mornings when you just want to sleep in (and let’s be real, that's every morning on vacation). They are a dream!
The Amenities: The Good, The Great, and the "Wish I'd Packed That"
Alright, let’s get down to the nitty-gritty. Internet? Check. Free Wi-Fi? Double-check! (And it worked, people! Unlike some hotels where you’re battling a dial-up modem from the dark ages.) Internet [LAN]? They even offered it! (For the tech-heads amongst us). This is an absolute blessing if you plan to do some work, or just want to watch some movies with your laptop. Internet services: They exist! The speed was great and I really enjoyed the availability.
The Cleanliness & Safety Saga (Because We ALL Care Now)
Okay, COVID times are a hot mess. I'm a germaphobe since the pandemic started, and I'm not ashamed to admit it. I need to know a place is clean. This place seemed to give a damn. Anti-viral cleaning products: Yes. Daily disinfection in common areas: Yup. Rooms sanitized between stays: Uh-huh. Room sanitization opt-out available: Great for those who like to leave their stuff out and about without fear of getting their stuff sprayed down. Hand sanitizer: Everywhere. Staff trained in safety protocol: Check. Hygiene certification: Right there. They're not just saying they’re clean; they’re showing it! Felt safe, which is a huge load off my mind.
Things to Do, Ways to Relax (Because Vacations Are for Not Doing Stuff, Right?)
This is where it gets interesting! The hotel is not super filled with extras. Swimming pool [outdoor] is on-site, which, let’s be real, is a must for any Indonesian adventure. Fitness center: They have one, but I, uh, did not utilize it. Let's be real: This is what I did with my time at the hotel, and I stand by it. Other options include a Spa/sauna. They have a massage and a Spa. So, getting pampered is in the cards!
Dining, Drinking & Snacking (Because Fuel is Essential)
Okay, food. This is where the experience shines, yet falls a bit flat. First off, there's a restaurant. Breakfast [buffet]: Yep. Buffet in restaurant: Also yep. The buffet was… okay. Not amazing. The international cuisine wasn't really my jam, to be honest, but they offered Western breakfast and Asian breakfast. Coffee/tea in restaurant: Definitely important. Bottle of water: Always appreciated. Breakfast in room: Yes. Room service [24-hour]: Win! I did order some room, and it was a perfect experience. There's even a Snack bar. A la carte in restaurant: Absolutely. The menu itself wasn't that extensive, but what they did, they did it well. Happy hour: Yes!
Services & Conveniences (Because Life is Easier When Someone Else Does the Heavy Lifting)
Daily housekeeping: Thank goodness. Laundry service: Absolutely. Seriously, I'm not doing laundry on vacation. Air conditioning in public area: Crucial in Malang. Elevator: You betcha. They have a concierge, a convenience store and a Luggage storage. Doctor/nurse on call. Car park [free of charge], Car park [on-site].
For the Kids (Because Parents Need a Break Too)
They are Family/child friendly, so kids are more than welcome. Babysitting service: The Kids facilities are perfect.
Accessibility (Important for Everyone!)
Facilities for disabled guests. Elevator.
Getting Around (Because You're Probably Not Staying In the Hotel the Whole Time)
Airport transfer. Taxi service. Car park [free of charge]. They have a parking lot.
Back to the Room (Because That's Where the Magic Happens)
Bathtub: Lovely. Bathrobes, slippers. They even have a mini bar! The wake-up service and towels. Air conditioning: I mentioned that one. Seriously, though, the room was just… good. Comfortable, functional, and clean. And for the price, it was a steal!

Escape to Paradise: Your 3-Bedroom Bibione Villaggio Ginepri Dream Awaits!
Alright, buckle up, Buttercups! Because you're about to embark on the most gloriously chaotic, utterly unpredictable, and possibly slightly sweaty (thanks, Indonesian humidity!) trip to Malang, Indonesia, ever conceived. We're aiming for a deluxe room 10 minutes from BNS (Batu Night Spectacular), but let's be honest, "deluxe" is in the eye of the beholder, right?
The Malang Meltdown: A 3-Day Itinerary (That Will Probably Go Off the Rails)
Day 1: Arrival and the Search for Serenity (Spoiler: It Might Be a Mirage)
- Morning (like, REALLY early morning): Land in Juanda International Airport (SUB) in Surabaya. The humidity hits you like a warm, wet, and surprisingly cuddly blanket. Immediately, your meticulously planned itinerary starts to unravel. Finding a taxi? Forget it. It's a free-for-all. I'll probably get scammed, but hey, adventure!
- Transportation Fiasco: After bargaining (badly) for a ride, we're off! The driver apparently views traffic lights as mere suggestions. Speeding, honking, weaving - the complete Indonesian driving experience. I swear, my heart rate is higher than the temple on that volcano I'm trying to find.
- Lunch (Indonesian Food Adventure): Finally, we get to Malang, I think. I told the driver to take us to a recommended restaurant with good Soto Ayam. Ordered. The taste? Heaven. My taste buds experienced fireworks. The only real problem was the sweat dripping off my face. Don't even get me started on the chili!
- Afternoon (the Deluxe Room Debacle): So, we've located our deluxe room, ten minutes from that Batu Night Spectacular. The "deluxe" part? Mildly debatable. Clean? Yes. With a view of anything more exciting than a wall? No. But hey, it has air conditioning! And after that hell ride from Surabaya, I'm grateful for that.
- Evening (BNS - Batu Night Spectacular): Okay, time to embrace the kitsch! Batu Night Spectacular. Let the lights and the chaos commence! The first glance has me screaming. A rollercoaster! Rides that defy physics! The sheer, unadulterated crowd… it's overwhelming. Probably a good time for the first ice cream. Definitely a good time to let the inner child scream. It's a sensory overload. The food stalls are everywhere, and I'm suddenly overcome with a craving for something fried and questionable. Safety first, I guess?
- Night: Pass out from sheer exhaustion and sensory overload. Probably dream of dodging motorbikes and eating spicy noodles.
Day 2: Volcanoes, Coffee, and the Unexpected Embrace of Failure
- Morning (Mount Bromo or Bust!): The siren call of Mount Bromo is strong. I'd really like to go. But even the local tours tell me i might be too late to join the organized trips. Waking up at 2 am? And the journey there? It's a serious commitment. A gamble of an experience. Plus, I might be physically wrecked from the previous night. Still, gotta check out the options.
- Breakfast (and the Quest for Decent Coffee): Found a local warung serving Nasi Goreng. Now, on to the coffee! This is where the quest for the perfect Indonesian coffee experience begins. I'm hunting for that rich, bold, slightly earthy flavor. Wish me luck, since the last time I had coffee, I think even a tiny bit of ground was in my teeth.
- Afternoon (Exploring Malang City): Exploring Malang's streets. This city is a fascinating mix of old and new. We'll wander around the old town, get inevitably lost, and probably end up buying something we absolutely don't need, like an overpriced Batik shirt.
- Late Afternoon (Coffee, Round 2): Time to try another cafe. The first one, unfortunately, had me staring blankly at the menu for 20 minutes. This time, I'll be getting an iced coffee, and I'm hoping for a caffeine buzz, not coffee-flavored disappointment.
- Evening (Back to BNS?): I might have been slightly defeated. Is it possible to go back? Maybe. My legs hurt. Maybe not. Time of reflection, while I order some fried noodles.
Day 3: Souvenirs, Scams (or Not), and the Sweet Taste of Departure
- Morning (Souvenir Shopping Frenzy): This is where the tourist trap magic happens. I need to get some souvenirs. Hopefully, I won't get totally ripped off. It's all part of the experience, right?
- Lunch (Whatever's Local and Doesn't Give Me Food Poisoning): Another culinary gamble. I'm hoping to survive this trip without needing a hospital. One last Indonesian delight to fill my belly before I leave!
- Afternoon (The Airport Run): That journey back to the airport. I'll be praying for a driver who knows how to use the blinkers. And that I made it to my flight on time.
- Evening (Departure): Goodbye, Malang! Goodbye, humidity! Goodbye, fried food! I've experienced much more than I expected. It's been a whirlwind of joy, exhaustion, and sensory overload.
Important Side Notes (aka, the Real Truth):
- Pace Yourself: I'm a terrible planner. Things WILL go wrong. Embrace the chaos.
- Bargain Ruthlessly (but with a smile): Indonesians are awesome, be friendly!
- Learn Some Basic Indonesian Phrases: It'll make a difference. "Terima kasih" (thank you) is your best friend.
- Food Safety: Street food is tempting, but choose wisely. I'm not a fan of getting sick.
- Don't Be Afraid To Go With The Flow: This itinerary is a suggestion, nothing more.
This is a trip tailor-made for the unorganized, the easily flustered, and anyone who appreciates a good story (and a strong cup of coffee). Wish me luck, I'm going to need it. Selamat jalan! (Safe travels!)
Bibione Beach Bliss: Your Dream Apartment Awaits!
So… "Best"? Really? Is this place ACTUALLY good? I mean, the name is quite the claim!
Alright, friend. "Best" is a strong word. Let's be honest, marketing departments are known for their hyperbole, yeah? I went in with a healthy dose of skepticism. And the truth? Well, it depends. Depends on what you're looking for. If you're after a perfectly polished, four-star experience? Maybe not the BEST. If you crave convenience, a decent room, and a location that’s practically spitting distance from Batu Night Spectacular (BNS)? Then, yeah, it's pretty darn good. I mean, you *are* ten minutes away. That's a HUGE win after a night of screaming on rollercoasters and stuffing yourself with carnival food. My first impression? A little…well, let’s say "rustic charm.” The lobby wasn't exactly the Ritz, but it was clean enough. And the staff? Bless their hearts, they were TRYING. They were friendly, a little flustered, but genuinely seemed to want you to have a good time. And honestly? That goes a L-O-N-G way with me.
Okay, that's vague. What's the room itself like? The "Deluxe" part – does it live up to the hype?
The Deluxe room… ah, the Deluxe room. Okay, so, it's not *deluxe* in the sense of, like, a Presidential Suite. Think of it more as "Deluxe-adjacent." The bed was… comfy enough. I've slept on worse, I've slept on MUCH better! Let's just say the sheets weren’t silk and there were no pillow menus, but it did the trick after a grueling day battling the Malang traffic and the aforementioned rollercoasters. The bathroom? Functional. You could shower (thankfully, it was hot water!), and the toilet flushed. Essentials met. The real win? The space. It was bigger than I expected, which was a godsend when you're crammed with luggage, snacks, and the inevitable souvenir junk. And the air conditioning worked like a CHAMP. Seriously, on a hot Malang day, that was WORTH THE PRICE ALONE. Oh, and the TV? Lots of channels! Mostly Indonesian soap operas, which (confession time) I actually found strangely entertaining at 2 AM after a night of BNS fun.
About the distance to BNS... You said it's 10 minutes? Is that true, or is it a lie?
Alright, the BIG question. The ten-minute promise? Mostly true. BUT. Let me emphasize the BUT. It's ten minutes *in ideal conditions.* This means no traffic, no unexpected road closures, and a driver who isn't also trying to navigate a WhatsApp group chat. I mean, Malang traffic can be a beast. I experienced everything from smooth sailing to that lovely gridlock. But most of the time... yeah, it was pretty darn close. Let’s call it 10-15 minutes, tops. When you're staggering out of BNS, bleary-eyed and clutching a giant stuffed panda, that proximity? GOLD. Pure, glittering gold. Seriously, I booked this place *primarily* for the location. And on that point, it delivered. Worth it for this alone. Trust me, a 10 minute trip in a tired state is worth the world!
What about the noise? Is it loud at night? You know, being so close to, like, *stuff*?
Okay, this is where things get a little… complicated. The location is a blessing and a curse. While being near the attractions is great, you do get some noise from the road which sometimes is a nuisance. It's not like, constant construction noise, or anything. But there's definitely a bit of traffic. I'm a light sleeper, so I packed earplugs. Highly recommend! Or you can let the city sounds lull you to sleep.. but if you *need* absolute silence, this probably isn't the place for you. However, the rooms are usually pretty well insulated, and the AC unit provided a nice white noise that helped to drown out the occasional honks. It wasn't the worst, but it's something to consider.
Are there restaurants nearby? Food is important!
Yes! Yes! Food is *always* important. The absolute best part? Plenty of food options practically at your doorstep. Street food vendors galore! Authentic Indonesian cuisine? Check! There were also some proper restaurants within walking distance, but the street food – oh, the street food! I mean, the aroma itself will guide your foot. A little warung down the street had the best satay I have EVER eaten. Seriously. I went back three times. And the prices? Super cheap! It's a food paradise, basically. I might have gained a few kilos, but it was worth it! Do me a favour and find it, and try the sate! You won't regret it!
Okay, so, what's the BIGGEST drawback? Really, the thing you didn't like?
Hmm… the biggest drawback? Probably the Wi-Fi. I mean, it worked. Sometimes. And when it did, it was… okay. But if you're relying on a super-fast, seamless internet connection to upload your Insta stories of your BNS adventures (and I’m not judging), you might get a little frustrated. It was a bit patchy. I had to restart my phone a few times. I ended up just going with my own data most of the time, which wasn't ideal. So, yeah, the Wi-Fi. It's not a deal-breaker, but it could use some improvement. Otherwise I had no issues! And the fact that there were no issues is a big deal! (I'm also a bit of a homebody, what can I say?)
Bottom line: Would you recommend it?
Alright, the million-dollar question. Would I recommend "Malang's BEST Deluxe Room: 10 Mins to BNS!"? Honestly? Yeah, I would. If you're looking for a convenient, affordable place to crash after a long day of Batu fun, absolutely. It's not perfect, it's not luxurious, but it's clean, comfortable, and the location can't be beat. The staff are nice, too! Plus, you're ten minutes from BNS! Remember this. That alone is worth the price! If you're expecting the Ritz? Go somewhere else. But if you're looking for a solid, no-frills base camp for your Malang adventures? Give it a go. Just pack your earplugs and maybe bring your own entertainment! (Also, the sate. Don’t forget the sate.) I would go back, and that’s got to say something, right?
