Few questions about Bandung. It'll be a 4 pax trip for 4 days 3 nights.

1) Is RM 1000 okay for me to spend there? Probably Rm 500 for shopping, another for hotel, transport and meals?

2) Cheapest hotel/hostel? I found one, Alley Backpacker Hostel and it is really cheap. But I think I'm going to get Orange Home Syariah because it got wifi and airport transfer. Recommended?

3) Transportation? We'll be arrived at BDO airport on 12AM 26th. So I might as well take one day full to rent a car (to go to Tangkuban Perahu) and one day for cab (to visit shopping places around Bandung).

So, that's our plan. I don't know about luggage too, since this is my first time traveling outside Malaysia. Any tips would be appreciated.

1. 1000 rm for how many person ?
2. if you suitable with that hostel, get it. for wifi you can get a cheap simcard here. airport transfer can use taxi.
3. rent car is recommended if you want to visit tangkuban perahu.

It depends on your shopping habits, renting a car for one day will cost u IDR350K to IDR500K already and the food price is similar to KL standard. Generally for RM1000/pax should be enough if you spend wisely. Anyhow ruppiah currency has dropped quite a lot recently and ATM is everywhere in Bandung. (if using CIMB withdrawal charge is free if you withdraw from CIMB Niaga)

RM 1000 for a person.
Well, I'd prefer wifi over buying new simcard though.

Thanks for the information. But do you have any info about accommodation, like places I should avoid or anything perhaps?
Oh, I can use CIMB ATM there? Neat. Should I bring Rm1000 (converted) cash or just pull it out there? Thank you.

just got back from bandung. what can i say? love it there. bandung really is a city with soul.

dont walk in dark street. just to be cautious. the hostel you mention quite far from shopping / eating place. also, wastukencana is one way street. if using car/motor/angkot, you may need to walk first.

But from their website here, it says places to visit are all close by? Maybe the distance doesn't really matter because we're visiting places by car

Regarding the internet sim card you mentioned earlier, how do I get one and get access to the internet there?

Hi~
Visiting bandung soon with my family in march, still figure out which budgeted hotel to stay, is Grha Ciumbuleuit Guest House suitable to stay??
thks

if you want cheap accomodation with swimming pool, this quest house is a good one. there is a big university near there. so, traffic in the morning / midday can be bad.

Hi everyone,
Going to explore Indonesia for about 2 weeks from North to South including Bandung. Anybody can recommend me the best prepaid carrier with unlimited internet? I'll need the internet extensively during my time there. Some tips to on how to activate the internet would be helpful too. Will use it on my iPhone or Android tablet.
Cheers!

wanna ask:

1, how much to rent a car with a driver for 1 day trip around Bandung town (for shopping purpose)? a car to fit 4 ppl.

2. how much to rent a car with driver for bandung->jakarta->bandung (we will overnight there).
thank youuu so much!

i suggest you use indosat. for 100k, you get 2.5 gb data. there is also other price. if you want a cheap one, axis has 800 mb for 30k.

Thanks so much Bro cakur for the recommendation... 
IDR100k is not bad at all for 2.5GB. Will be needing around 2-3GB of data I think during my stay.
The Indosat includes voice or just data? Will be needing voice call for communication with the locals too...
