Billy Jaya has two types of rooms. In old building the rooms are cheaper but so grim and depressing that I cannot imagine staying there unless really desperate. Dark, smelly and without windows. The newer building has much nicer rooms with good views across the town and comfortable beds. ||||The breakfast was good and generous. Buffet included unexciting 'western' food (bread, margarine, jam) but also very tasty Indonesian food (rice, vegetables, tofu, fish or chicken) and of course tea and coffee.||||The staff was friendly but not very helpful. We were lucky that there was a room in the new building available. Since we knew that we were going to spend at least five nights we managed to get 10% discount (the rooms are pricey). After five nights we went for an overnight trek to the jungle and then returned to the hotel for another two nights. As we found at the checkout, the discount ceased to apply for the last two nights of our stay. Typically, there was no reasoning with the staff.||||Overall, we made a good choice though. Before choosing Billy Jaya we looked at some six hotels in the area and their best rooms were still worse that Billy Jaya's basic rooms.
