Urbanview Hotel Crown Tasikmalaya by RedDoorz

gud location

There are only few options of hotels in Tasikmalaya and this one will pop out when you search for a hotel in the city.

The room was dusty & the bathroom was disgusting (pics attached). I saw termites in every corner of the room.

The breakfast was also no good as I expected. It’s quite disturbing that they allow people smoking in the air conditioned restaurant.

Yet the hotel is located less than 1 km from the train station, a perfect choice for those who travel with train and the staffs were really nice and friendly :)

This place is definitely not worth the price but is still comfortable. Nice staff. The wifi doesn't actually work in the rooms (barely works at all) and the bathroom desperately needs a massive renovation (very smelly too unfortunately). Overall, it's okay, but I wouldn't stay here again.

The room price is cheap. It's about IDR 300 K but the room size is little including bathroom.
You have nice breakfast in the morning such as fried rice, fried noodle rice, and chicken porridge.
The staff is helpful. You can order massage through them.
Overall is good.

I just Come back from Tasikmalaya 2 days ago. I Have Stayed on 28 of august at This Hotel. Since I'm very rare to visit this city so i try to look information on the net and it show this hotel is 3 stars hotel. Since i try to book Santika hotel and it's full already so i try to decide to choose this hotel, since this is 3 stars hotel,others hotel that shown is more lower star or even no star hotel. I Booked the Superior Room, the price is Rp. 490.000 which is the 2nd From the Most expensive Room Which is Deluxe. I think it will be nice hotel and good room.

Soon when i Arrive at this hotel, look nice hotel with good reception and fast check in. My Room Number is 123, the key is a standard key which still use Key it self. Soon i go to my room, from the naked eye the room look nice n clean even the AC still the old style model without remote and the television in my room have broken remote. Not a good beginning right? haha..

and it is more are coming when i lay in the bed.. The bed is realy unconvinient because the bed is Fell Down and you will not want to have this kind of bed in your room. The Toilet looks Clean, but after i do some observation the toilet bowl is not well maintain, guess what.. i found some Big Red Ant arround the bowl and the floor of the toilet.. Really disgusting and feel want to check out as soon as possible.

Been traveling to Tasikmalaya to visit friend's wedding, the staff's are friendly and polite, very helpful especially when we needed directions in this area, wifi is ok. That being said, the hotel is old and in need for renovation especially in the toilet and shower room, toilet bowl is not in good condition...looked like its never been maintained in quite a while.

overall is ok, i think its a bit too pricy for the superior room rented

First impression when i arrived in Crown hotel was breathtaking because i impressed that the old style hotel was existing in Tasikmalaya region nowdays. This hotel looked like a hostel in the first floor or maybe like boarding house. I booked the deluxe room (as i known, it's a deluxe), When i opened the door. It was a three star hotel but still in old style and maybe they skipped the renovation to keep it unique. I liked the Television because it still the gorgeous big CRT tv :D. One thing that surprised me was the bathroom because it wasn't very clean and i'm not brave enough to use the bathtub. The water was not very well, i can't burst well so it took time to have a shower from that spout.
The breakfast was delicious but... I am a traveller who always stay at 2 or above hotel, not a hostel. For the first time in my life, i have to ASK the waiter for the omelet or the scramble because there was no sign or booth that serve that food. Overall the breakfast was so-so and nothing special. But one of the interesing thing when i stayed at this hotel was i able to experience the past when my parents era still existed. Haha

Wifi was ok in the room . Clean hotel . Friendly and helpfull staff . Good location . Food at the restaurant. was ok ,but nothing special . Breakfast was pover.
Nice room . Also good entertaining. example ; music band.

I often travell to Tasikmala, and every time I ask to the hotel receptionist, they always offer me the expensive room, the strange is, when you look in the parking area, you will not see lot of car there

might have the best rooms in its city, but not very recommended. The cleaning service is not good.

Noissy, especially fr 22.00 to 0.30, the food was terrible, I recomend you to chose another hotels

Myself and my 3 children stayed here overnight twice, en route and return from Pangandaran to Bandung and back in order to break the 6 hour drive in half. Bad idea. No sleep.

The rooms themselves appear fine, in fact the Superior triple ( 3 single beds) and Superior ( 1 queen plus a single )are both huge and the staff were more than happy to throw down an extra mattress on the floor. The air con worked fine and there was hot water - my two main criteria in Java. 3 star it certainly is by appearances. The price is absolutely outrageous for a small town stopover with little infrastructure in Java though, I paid around USD $ 70 which seems low by global standards, but trust me, in the middle of West Java, that's just ridiculous. I might also make mention of the shower cap I pulled out of it's teeny tiny resealable plastic bag to find it was already wet and soapy. Eww. But I guess somebody went to a lot of trouble to pack that sucker in.

The good news for food is the restaurant is great for dinner and cheap as chips. Breakfast is included and is Indonesian style,basic nasi goreng and condiments, and surprisingly, a man making eggs to order alongside the buffet table. The thing is though, Indonesians all smoke during meals. Heavily. It was tough to see the food under the smoke cloud and really puts you off your food. We couldn't escape breakfast fast enough and unfortunately, your choices are pretty much limited to the hotel or a dodgy street stall where they rinse your dish in a bucket of filthy water.

But the noise was phenomenal. The first night we were there we were backed up against the restaurant/cafe. Seemed OK as there was no-one else at dinner and we thought we had it all to ourselves. Wrong! At 10pm,(and this was a Tuesday) the band started in the cafe. Until 1am. Then, my daughter was treated to a generator behind her headboard until 6am. It seemed, according to the manager whose chest was puffed out in pride at my noise complaint, that the Crown hotel is THE place to karaoke. Every night.

So, I thought, well I will just book a room on the other side of the hotel for the return trip. Well that was foiled by the conference being held there. I am not kidding, they were like college kids on spring break, yelling and running in the hallways, slamming doors and at one point, playing cards with a boombox on the floor right outside my door.And when I say it did not stop, I am not exaggerating. At 6am after nearly 12 hours of this with repeated calls to the front desk ( who did not come) I finally lost my temper and flung the door open and yelled at the lot of them, who all just kind of ignored me. We were so tired we could barely drag ourselves to the car to get out of Dodge. Part of the problem is the style of the door, with a large, uncurtained glass partition above it ( probably for extra light) but what a sound funnel.

So, if you are travelling through Java, avoid this one unless you are a heavy sleeper, head on straight through to Pangandaran or Bandung and hang the extra couple of travelling hours.
