With its rather grand colonnaded Italianate facade and sparkling lobby, the strangely named Same Hotel flirts with tackiness. Fortunately, thanks to low prices and subtler-looking rooms that are also quiet, clean and comfortable, we'd say this is one of Malang's better choices. Also comes with professional staff, fast wi-fi, cable TV, room service and inclusive buffet breakfast.
