West Java


First impressions, of a fairly grim facade, can be deceiving, but once you walk through the lobby the guesthouse opens up to a well-maintained garden and a restaurant that backs on to a river. Here the rooms are spacious and fairly clean, though the budget street-facing rooms are noisy and best avoided. The family that runs it is helpful.

It's across the street from the train station.
