Wish they had a restaurant open all the time.

Where to start... Rumah Pesik is a special place. Think Grand Budapest Hotel, but in Indonesia. It's not often that you get to stay somewhere of such cultural importance that has been forgotten and recently "rediscovered". This hotel is an artwork, full of quirkiness, in a quiet and non-touristic neighbourhood with incredible staff. The highlights: - Museum which is attached to the hotel - Staff, especially Eirshad, the hotel manager, who is an incredibly interesting person that is truly obsessed with revitalising Rumah Pesik to its former Sultan Palace glory but make it a hotel - Rooms are gigantic, AC works great, all amenities included - Seems like the more you walk around, the more you find - so many statues, paintings, incredible architecture If you want to stay somewhere that has various peculiarities, including an incredible story, this is the place for you. If you'd like absolute comfort and general looking amenities, try somewhere else. And to make it clear, we loved the place, and would stay again.

To us, Rumah Pesik is a 12/10 place, but there are a few things that can be improved (many we mentioned directly to the manager as he asked for feedback): - The pillows are a bit too tough - The cleanliness (especially the sheets and the floor) could be improved - Mosquito plug, or something to fight the ones that end up getting into the room - Keep improving the rooms, great work so far! Ah, and a bonus one, in case this bothers some people. Our room had a long window that was at the top of the room, and it didn't have curtains so it got very bright in the morning. I used my eye mask and it was fine, but worth knowing before you go to bring some!

The ambience was terrific, with beautiful works of art everywhere. It was like staying in a museum.

The handbasins in the bathroom looked as if they needed a good clean, but apart from that, the place was quite clean. More variety for breakfast would have been good. Some information about the local area - e.g. places to see, to eat - to provide tourists would be helpful. Replacing my bottles of water as I had used all of them, would also have been good.
