Tugu Malang: "Tolle Umgebung um Ruhe zu finden"

Review by: Jürgen B | Source: Trip Advisor
"Wir hatten das Zimmer 208 welches zum Pool lag. Abends wurde es wegen dem Restaurant um ca.20 Uhr mal ca. 1 Std. laut, was uns nicht störte. Kurz Fenster zu und gut. Wir genossen die Badewanne und die nicht zu überbietende Freundlichkeit der Mitarbeiter. Man wurde mit Namen angesprochen und jeder war um unser Wohl bedacht. Das Essen im Restaurant war sehr gut und das Ambiente des gesamten Hotels unübertroffen.Als man bemerkte das wir mit dem typisch indonesischen Frühstück nicht glücklich waren gab es eine Breakfast-Karte mit allem Schnickschnack. Da wir einfaches Frühstück bevorzugen wurde fortan das Frühstück für uns auf Wunsch zubereitet. Besser geht nicht!"

Rachamankha: "Beautiful, boutique hotel, don’t expect 5 bars, a gym & 3 restaurants"

Review by: Vietnamvera | Source: Trip Advisor
A gem of a hotel, hidden away down a side lane in the old city. No noise, 24hr security & an architectural wonder of Thai design. Rooms with covered walkways are all built round open courtyards with paths, palm & oleander trees & pots, joining them to different areas of the hotel. The pool area is beautifully maintained & the library has an old colonial feel with many interesting subjects to browse, particularly travel & architecture. Our room was quiet, spacious, spotlessly clean, with an excellent shower & lovely Moulton Brown toiletries. Breakfast was taken outside or in, waiter served with choices cooked to order. Very relaxing compared to the pandemonium of buffet breakfasts experienced elsewhere. Restaurant evening meals delicious & beautifully presented. Would definitely return & recommend.

Manda De Laos: "Has the Wow factor"

Review by: johnbarry7 | Source: Trip Advisor
"From the street it at night there are no clues to what you will find when you enter this restaurant, right before you is the most beautiful lotus pond gently illuminated with dining tables nicely spaced around the edge. Stylish, romantic and impressive even before the food arrives which is a creative twist on local dishes with great presentation attentive without being obtrusive service which made for a quite delightful evening. Go on treat yourself........."

Mie Cafe: "A Gem of a Restaurant"

Review by: Pixeltraveller | Source: Trip Advisor
"Amid the cicadas and frogs (they have their own pond, is a superbly done fusion dining experience. Clever dishes that are not overly complicated, good portion sizes and beautifully presented. We enjoyed the frogs legs, the burrita was amazing as was the local Lak Lak beef dishes (a local take on steak au poivre - though this is an injustice). Finished with a refreshing frozen like pie. With attentive staff, this made for a relaxing Sunday in Siem Reap. Any gripes? Nothing major - sometimes service seemed too attentive if there is such a thing and I mean they tend to over check if you're finished on a course."

Tugu Bali: "Staying in the middle of art and culture"

Review by: Kristjan K | Source: Trip Advisor
"We were travelling with three small kids (3,5,7) and Tugu hotel in Canggu was our last stop in Bali after staying in Intercontinental Jimbaran and the villas in Ubud and Lovina. We were looking for something different than the large chain hotels and Tugu hotel turned out to be just the right place. The hotel does not belong to the Small Luxury Hotels, Relais&Chateaux (they do not have any hotels in Indonesia yet?) or Boutique Hotels, so we found it kind of accidentally as our friends had recommended to stay in Canggu area and hotel Tugu is #1 in Canggu. The hotel could easily fit into the quality standards of the small luxury hotels. Although the hotel has a pool, this is not the reason to come to this hotel. There are hotels with bigger and better pools. Tugu hotel is for the guests who love architecture, art and culture, who are excited about original interior design and high quality antiquities and handicraft surrounding at every step: in the room, in the garden and literally everywhere. The service was perfect even on the background of the Balinese being in general polite and friendly. I would like to give special thank you to Pande Dwipa for an excursion in the facilities: Tugu hotel is an exquisite art museum and hotel in one. I can only admire the vision of the hotel owner Anhar Setjadibrata, to share the art he has collected with the guests in his hotels. Tugu hotel is definitely ""worth a detour"", to use a Michelin term."

Rachamankha: "Better than expected"

Review by: Anita T | Source: Trip Advisor
"Enchanting, exquisite , excellent, charming, amazing ..... What more can I say? My husband and I stayed at this very beautiful rare gem of a boutique hotel last week and everything couldn't be more perfect, Special thanks and much appreciation to service staff during breakfast and front desk they were all super professional including the security guard who had a torch light ready when he saw me ""digging"" into my handbag in the dark to pay the tuk tuk driver. Will definitely be planning another trip there!"

THE SAMAR: "Back Home"

Review by: Asiadvisor001 | Source: Trip Advisor
"Always a great feeling to go back to a place I like. The staff make me feel ""home"" as this is the 3rd time I stay here. Little attentions, smiles.. and this familiar atmosphere, the beautiful dark swimming pool. I travel quite a lot for both work and pleasure, and it is great to have ""harbors"" around, to rest, feel comfortable, recharge... The Samar is one of my harbors. Thanks to all of you!"

Jing’s Residence: "Wonderful stay in Pingyao"

Review by: KarenYfromDenver2016 | Source: Trip Advisor
In keeping with the character of Pingyao, Jing's Residence takes you a step back in time. Beginning with the graciousness of the front desk, the excellence of the dining room and the total comfort of the rooms, guests are treated assortment of teas, dried dates, turn down treats and farewell gifts. I wanted my stay to last forever. This is the place to stay while in Pingyao.

Tugu Bali: "Paradise in Bali"

Review by: Shadwell2013 | Source: Trip Advisor
We spent the last night here after a three week holiday travelling around Bali. This was a birthday treat and the icing on my cake! It is a very stylish and unqiue hotel full of the most beautiful pieces of Balinese artworks. Our room was on the second floor overlooking koi ponds with the sea in the background. It was a stunning room with a gorgeous sunken bath and a huge fabulously comfortable bed. The staff and service were amazing as was the food. We cannot recommend this hotel highly enough and will certainly come back.
