Not sure how much is the actual rate for the hotel alone as I bought ground arrangement package which was about RM400 per person.

My parents stayed there, and they didnt have nice things to say about that. Try Arion Bel or something like that on AA. It's a four star hotel and got good reviews on Tripadvisor.

Hi all..

Nothing you can do if u want to spend ur day in Bandung for 5/6 days. Unless u wanna go to Jakarta. I went there last August. for 3 days. 2 days i spent for shopping at FOs, & Pasar Baru. Rumah Mode, the best FO in Bandung. That's what I think lah.

yes.. i read about it too.. that's y i tot mutiara is out...
confusing is.. ArionSwiss belhotel have different rates in different websites.. which is confusing..
anyway, i'll make a call tomorrow to book.. if the price is too steep.. then i'll have to find another hotel..

yea.. im planning to go to jakarta also.. mostly 3 days can cover the crater and most FOs.. so then.. maybe i'll plan a day trip to jakarta.. or maybe stay a night there.. i'll have to check my schedule..

went to bandung last month...i stay at hotel sukajadi and the price is reasonable for me, break first provided for 2 person. If u feel bored at night, u can just walk out from the hotel because Paris Van Jaya is just nearby and that place is very happening at night.
Spent 2 days shopping around there, i book a driver and he can bring you wherever you want to go ( if u want his contact, i can provide it to you).

when i went to jogjakarta,i thought renting a van n drove ourselves would be great..but when i look at their traffic system..Oh My God!!Doesnt look like there is any system at all..so chaotic..luckily we rent an innova with a driver..since his a local,its bttr for us to let him drive..coz i dunt think i can drive there..n its still cheap..8people renting da innova n we pay about rm20-30 per person n we rent da innova da whole day..hehe

Bring up this thread! I plan to go Bandung on January. But i'm alone. Anyone interested to join?......

Last time in Mac, my group went to Yogyakarta-Bandung-Jakarta by train. Worst experience when the executive coach from Yogyakarta to Bandung was fully booked and had to endure the low quality of coach-no aircond, people smoke
But pleasant experience taking executive coach from Bandung to Jakarta, fully aircond, refeshment cake and mineral water.
Tips- go to Jakarta on Saturday and Sunday only if you want to avoid heavy traffic jam. Jakarta traffic jam so bad unless taking bus.

Yeah. Got back from Bandung and Jakarta 3 weeks ago. 10 of us so it was FUN!

Arrived at Jakarta and we straight away looked for a van that can carries all of us to Bandung
900 000 rupiah - and the driver even helped us look for hotels in Bandung (since we're pretty much try&error there).

anyways, in bandung, we stayed at Rorompok Hotel in Jalan Dago. (clean, convenient place) since its near to most of the factory outlets = no need to find transport to jalan2 there.

went to almost every f.o we could fidn





but on 3rd day. we went to Tangkuban Perahu. If u ever visit Bandung, try go there. its a breathtaking place. each person masuk 35 000 each. the rest r free unless u want them to bring u guys DOWN there (gotta pay alot , 200 000 rupiah per hour and they tried to sell u alot of stuff with UBER HIGH price - and my advice is NOT to buy from them at first. coz when ure about to leave, all the price dropped instantly.)







Bandung was hella fun !!!!

can u share with us your total expenditure for the whole trip?

Here are some few recommendded Hotels in Bandung. Been there 2x.Love it especially shopping. Go to places of shopping with factory outlet are Jln Dago, Jln Cimhampelas (jeans street) and Jln Setiabudi

hello, i'm going to backpack from jakarta to bali later this month.

few questions here...
can i buy a large backpack (eg deuter or karimor) at bandung before continue our journey?
besides clothing, is there any shops selling sports shoes? (adidas or nike)
how about perfume? selling in bandung?

hope u all can help me since i'm planning of bringing only small backpack from lcct to jakarta,limited to a few pairs of clothes only.
plus my camera and laptop

if anyone would like to stay at sukajadi hotel, i would advise book through travel agents and it's alot cheaper
