The hotel was near the venue of the forum (JCLEC AKPOL) and it was quite easy to secure Grab rides from there. The hotel exceeded my expectations. It has two (2) restaurants: Serajoe and Vue. Both have helpful waitstaff and there's live music in Vue. The housekeeping was also great. My room was kept pleasantly clean and tidy. Actually, the whole hotel staff -- from those at the entrance to the reception to sales -- was helpful and friendly without becoming too familiar with the guests. If there's anything I would like changed, it would be the aroma used in the lobby... it's a little sharp to the nostrils. Gave me a light headache. Luckily, my nose adjusted or got used to the smell on the second day of my stay. I'll definitely stay here again if the opportunity arises.
Been my whislist and finally got here. Superb design and hospitality. And got free voucher of photo by professional hotel photographer as souvenir. Welcome drink and snack also good. Including prayer amenities in every room.
Stayed for 2 nights in Room 703.
➕ Plus:
• Great location, 7 mins to Simpang Lima and directly connected to Queen City Mall, which has many good restaurants and shops.
• Good value for money considering the facilities and location in Semarang.
• Complete in-room amenities: washing machine, large fridge, microwave, stove, plates, and cooking utensils, very convenient for family stays or longer visits.
• Smooth check-in process, and no deposit required.
➖ Minus:
• Electricity went on and off more than 8 times during my stay. The outage was short each time, but it disturbed our convenience, especially when charging devices.
• A flying cockroach came out from the upper side of the wardrobe cupboard. I reported it to the staff.
• Breakfast restaurant is quite small and often crowded, with limited menu choices.
• Room is not soundproof, noise from the streets and the train can be clearly heard, even until midnight.
Great experience. The rooms are spacious and very clean. The highlight for me was the breakfast buffet…plenty of delicious local Solo dishes to try! The staff were friendly and the check-in was smooth. It’s also very close to the train station, which was super convenient. Would stay here again
Very convenient and great value for money. It's really handy and affordable for business trips. The restaurant and cafe downstairs are open late, so you can chat into the evening.
Booked because of their hot water pool. But it only warm during weekend. But their pools are good, there are three pools with depth 1.4m, 0.6m and 0.8 m.
Rooms are spacious. We booked 3 rooms, two others connecting and children love it.
The only let down is the breakfast selection, not too many choices. Standard staples of hotel buffet. Bit expect more of their speciality selections.
I love coming to Magelang but hardly stay there because there’re not such well maintanied & clean hotels. Knowing Artotel just opens, i purposely make a plan to stay in Magelang & try Artotel.
The room is super clean & big, also the bed in comfy. Huge shower space in junior suite room, water pressure is strong. Eventhou water drainage is a bit slow but not a big deal.
I don’t have a chance to try the b’fast but i heard Magelangers like to have weekend b’fast in the hotel (so i assume their b’fast must be good😁).
The parkir is limited but valet is available.
All the staff are super friendly & helpful.
I really enjoy my stay & definitely will come back.
Artotel is highly recommended!👍🏼

Very Good
GGuest UserThis is my 2nd visit to this hotel. Previous visit was quite ok, however this time we were dissapointed with their cleanliness. Once we entered the room, the bedsheet and blankets were a bit smelly and there were yellowish color on them. Also, they forgot to refill the body soap inside the room. Although they did replace the dirty bedsheets and refilled the soap after making a request, but it shows how lacking they are in their cleanliness. Management needs to pay attention to this!
YYunanistya RahmadhianiWe booked two rooms. When one of the rooms, the AC was not cold, called the receptionist, and was responded to well. An hour later, the room was cold again. Breakfast is quite varied.
CCyril Lee Wei ChunFirst time in Indonesia receiving good hospitality from this hotel. Room is outstanding, breakfast is superb and swimming pool perfect for the day.
GGuest UserRezt Hotel Semarang is a great budget-friendly stay in a strategic location. The room was clean, modern, and comfortable, perfect for a short trip. Staff were friendly and helpful throughout my stay. It’s close to food spots and easy to access from the city center. A solid choice for travelers looking for a simple, clean, and affordable place in Semarang.
GGuest UserThe hotel facilities are a bit old, and the bathroom only has a bathtub. The soundproofing isn't great; you can hear motorcycles roaring down the street at night. However, the service is good. The hotel Wi-Fi can be a bit unreliable, and they only provide large bath towels, no face towels. The bedding also seems a bit old. On the bright side, the desk design is very clever and well-suited for working.
GGuest UserGreat location, have a great view backyard looking at river streaming, jungle, and mini waterfall. Perfect for nature lover. Amazing restaurant and cafe. However the cleanliness of the room should be improved. Many moulds around the room and the bathroom. Also quite smell when you entered the room, like a wet or damp clothes smell. Parking area could be improved to accomodate more vehicles. Thanks
MMutiaraActually the hotel is good, only get a bad experience for the first time staying here, I ordered a romantic dinner directly to this hotel cp, I made sure it was private and didn't share with others. But the reality is ZONK. On the day of H, I checked in, I didn't know if there was a single organ, I wanted to sing near the pool. I was told how many hours have been. Seriously, I have paid expensive and I was in a hurry, where many people were lined up, the gifts were also as good as it was just a day, even though I booked the dinner Romantic DR VERY DAY. Not bad, the price is 1jt, but if the waiter is so 😥 starts at 19.00 - 21.00 he said, but the tb is being rushed at 17.00-19.00 hadeh. If I didn't say I wouldn't accept it, I would have dinner at 17.00 pdhl before saying 19.00 . But besides that, it's okay, fortunately it sells a sea view. Please improve the service yes. I'm just disappointed that I should have a romantic momment dinner, even a place to be a crowded, and many people passing by when I want to take pictures. The dinner was only 1 hour and even asked to be brought to the room for the rest. It's a pity if you have to pay 1 jt so

Metro Park View Hotel Kota Lama Semarang
Semarang, Indonesia
3-day, 2-night experience at Metro Park View Hotel Kota Lama Semarang
December 24 - 26, 2025
The location is strategic, close to Kota Lama Semarang, near the Great Mosque, and also close to shopping centers (Malls).
Initially, we planned to go as a group of 4, so we booked 2 deluxe twin rooms. It turned out that another niece wanted to join, so we requested an extra bed for one room. ************* We were upgraded to an executive room. It had one king bed and one single bed. The room was spacious with a city view directly at the intersection. Unfortunately, I forgot to take a photo of the executive room. 🤭.
Both rooms we stayed in were clean and comfortable. The bathroom was also clean. However, the hot water in the bathroom wasn't hot, and neither was the water in the sink.
For breakfast, the food menu was quite tasty and varied, but the restaurant was a bit small. We tried dinner at the cafe, and all the food we ordered tasted delicious, including the cakes.
The service from the security staff, front desk, and even the restaurant and housekeeping staff was very friendly, kind, and served guests wholeheartedly.
Thank you for everything. I hope you always provide the best and achieve success! 👍
LL. MikeThe breakfast is horrible, bland porridge, only lettuce for the salad, there's pasta but its macaroni covered in small red sauce with no taste, tables doesnt get cleaned properly, 2 people on the egg corner only serving egg with salt, no toppings, no veggies, just pure egg + salt, main course got no variation, noodle rice 1 type of veg, a fish, and chicken. To access the restaurant you need to go through the pool, cool way of thinking, not practical when theres a lot of children playing with the water, parents and nannys sitting on the side.
