tugu malang: "A most wonderful hotel"

Review by: martin w | Source: tripadvisor.com
I can really recommend this hotel. Although only 25 years old it is built in the dutch colonial style. The staff are very attentive and friendly and nothing is too much trouble. The food in the restaurant is excellent and cheap by english standards. The rooms are comfortable and perfectly adequate. Part of the hotel is a museum and the staff give an escorted tour. The is even the possibility of a cycle tour in the morning avoiding the traffic, This is the nicest hotel I have ever stayed at and I doubt if there is a better one in Malang. An extensive tea with indonesian delicacies is available free to all the guests.

Maduzi Hotel: "Exceptional value boutique hotel in BKK"

Review by: samboichip | Source: Trip Advisor
"This was our final stop in BKK before heading home and stumbled across a deal on Agoda for $146 Australian in their classic room. We were blown away with the quality of the hotel and service. From the outside it's pretty underwhelming behind a concrete fence, but you are immediately welcomed by calm, restrained Japanese styling once you step into the lobby; I nice sense of calm from the heat and bustling streets. This place has impeccable decor yet it feels homely. The hotel only has 40 rooms. Plusses include the very large rooms, which include an enormous separate bathroom and jacuzzi. Extremely clean with quality fittings. Well sound proofed and very comfortable beds. The breakfast is different in a good way which was included in the room rate - you can order ala carte (all you can eat) with alternative choices as well as usual hot breakfast - I had the traditional Japanese classic breakfast which was fab (I thought breakfast was exceptional). Coffee was also fantastic (a rare find). You also get a free welcome drink of your choice. Happy hour (2 for 1 deal) also operates from 6pm-12am. All the staff were very helpful and friendly. There is flexible checkout at no additional cost (subject to availability). Interestingly there is a no tip policy! Short walk to Asoke BTS station and directly opposite to a 7-11 on the next corner. Have stayed at a lot of hotels in BKK and this would have to be one of the best ones; 5 star quality at a proportion of the price. As mentioned by other people, the only downside is that there is no pool if that's what you're looking for. Will definitely stay here again. Stayed April 2017, traveled as a couple"

Tugu Bali: "Unexpected elegance"

Review by: jsseelye | Source: Trip Advisor
Surrounded by antiques from all over Asia, Tugu Canggu was a haven of casual elegance, great dining and easy access to beaches, surfing and shopping. The manager, Jenny, was especially helpful in guiding us to our surroundings and anticipating our needs. The rest of the staff were warm, thoughtful and delightfully pleasant.

Locavore: "One of the best meals we have ever had"

Review by: Grace C | Source: Trip Advisor
Exquisite 7 course (+ more!) meal, where our nosy eyes got to spy on all the kitchens goings-on. A must visit for anyone looking for a completely unique and flawless dining experience. I won’t divulge too much, just go.

Villa Song: "Fantastic hotel"

Review by: Doriangreen | Source: Trip Advisor
"Stayed at Villa Song for 4 nights. This was our first trip to Vietnam and we chose this hotel based on the reviews and we were not disappointed fantastic hotel, wonderful service and added benefit of speedboat to get to and from city centre. The room was large, comfortable and spotlessly clear. The breakfast was really good and lovely view if the river. I can not recommend this hotel enough has everything you need the only downside is it is far from the city centre and attractions. We had dinner at The Deck on our ladt night and the food was amazing. Great hotel, wonderful staff"

Tugu Malang: "Unique, Stylish, & All-Time Favorite Hotel"

Review by: Audrey_Golden | Source: Trip Advisor
I love this hotel. It's an incredibly unique place that's adorned throughout with Indonesian antiques, and it also has an incredible antique shop for browsing or buying (not to mention a very large and well-curated selection of Balinese silver jewelry, both contemporary and vintage). The rooms are fantastic, filled with super stylish antiques, art, and fresh flowers. The hotel also has incredibly cool stationery in each room, reminiscent of grand hotels of the early 20th century. Melati Restaurant, part of the hotel, serves some of the best food in all of Java. This place is truly special and has to be one of my favorite hotels anywhere in the world.

Pindaya Farm House: "Excellent warm and cozy boutique hotel with amazing food"

Review by: TalEven | Source: Trip Advisor
"My wife and I stayed at Thahara in Pindaya on our last night in Myanmar. What a delightful end to such an enjoyable trip. Thahara is situated on a private farmhouse, providing such a warm and cozy feeling to guests. The hosts were very gracious and warm. The views of the surrounding fields - especially during sunset and sunrise - are breathtaking. The host family prepares delicious meals and use produce and herbs from their garden, taking ""farm to table"" to a whole new level. The food was absolutely spectacular, as not only is it so fresh, but the hosts are amazing cooks. The rooms were all modern and in great condition. We highly recommend staying here!"

Cuca: "Amazing food"

Review by: LeysaL | Source: Trip Advisor
We enjoyed a romantic dinner here in the garden. Beautiful restaurant and grounds. Staff are super friendly and helpful. They guided us through each item we ordered. Tapas were outstanding. Price is high for Bali but worth it for the quality of food, taste, presentation and experience!

The Village House: "Gorgeous hotel!"

Review by: Rachel L | Source: Trip Advisor
"Such a beautiful hotel! So incredibly relaxing to spend time here. We loved the hammocks and reclining chairs with the view of the pool. The gardens are lovely, and the decor is really interesting. Nice rooms too! The whole place is romantic, relaxing, dreamy. The eight course ""Taste of Borneo"" was a memorable last night in this beautiful oasis. We booked a sunset wetlands tour. Gorgeous sunset skies, everything still and peaceful. We saw dolphins and proboscis monkeys, and after dark, spooky crocodiles, and an abundance of fireflies. Also arranged by the hotel, we went to the nearby cultural village. We'd cynically expected a Disneyfication but it was wonderful and very interesting. Stayed March 2017, traveled with friends"
