Where to stay in Kota Batu? This hotel charmed me.

A musical journey to Indonesia, staying in a fairytale hotel in Batu "Sayang, sayang, sayang hatiku"—this melodious Indonesian folk song sparked my fascination with this archipelago, and finally, I embarked on a journey to Indonesia, checking in to the Hanuman Hotel in Kota Batu. Upon entering the hotel, I was greeted by the rich traditional Indonesian decor. Wood carvings and wickerwork were everywhere, and the colorful murals on the walls depicted ancient legends of the country. The warm yellow lighting created a cozy and mystical atmosphere, instantly immersing me in the local culture. I stayed in a standard suite, which was spacious and airy. The layout was well-designed, with separate areas for resting and activities. From the window, I could see lush tropical plants and a small volcanic lake in the distance, a true oasis of tranquility. The hotel offers a wide variety of activities. In the morning, you can join a traditional yoga class and stretch your body and mind amidst the birdsong and gentle breeze. In the afternoon, you can hike through the rainforest with a local guide and discover rare flora and fauna. Dining is a culinary journey through Indonesia. The specialty satay, tender and juicy, paired with rich peanut sauce, is unforgettable. There's also the sweet and sour tamarind soup, bursting with tropical flavors. The average cost is about CNY 200–300, covering accommodation, meals, and some activities, offering excellent value for money. Other tips: There are many mosquitoes around the hotel, so remember to bring mosquito repellent. For outdoor activities, it's best to wear light sportswear and comfortable shoes. Here, accompanied by Indonesian songs and immersed in the unique local culture, every moment is enchanting. The Hanuman Hotel is undoubtedly the warmest haven in this beautiful encounter of music and travel.
