A respite from Surabaya’s manic streets, this venerable Dutch colonial villa (c 1917) retains a twinkle of charm and grandeur. Rooms are basic and spartan, but they're clean and have some lovely touches, including Mediterranean-style shuttered windows. The location could not be better. Pay the extra rate for the bigger room and hot water. Staff can arrange tours of the region.
Each evening street food stalls set up here out the front.
