We chose Savoy Homann for its iconic Art Deco architecture and rich history — and it truly felt like stepping back in time. The elegant design, vintage charm, and sense of old-world grandeur are what make this hotel unique.||We especially enjoyed the coffee bar, which had a great selection of cakes and pastries. The breakfast was excellent, served in a beautiful open dining hall with many locals — a good sign! There was plenty of variety, and the staff was very friendly and helpful.||However, the room was disappointing. We were given a room without a window, facing an indoor courtyard, which made it very dark and gloomy. It was hard to find the light switch, and overall the room felt a bit neglected. There was no toilet paper, and when we asked, we were given a very small roll. The safe was broken, and it took three visits from staff to resolve the issue. The cleanliness was also not up to standard.||The swimming pool looked nice, but we felt uncomfortable using it as all other guests were swimming in modest, full-coverage swimwear, and we didn’t have anything similar with us. It’s something to keep in mind depending on your swimwear preferences.||We were told by reception that rooms with windows face the busy main road, and that’s why we were advised against them — but in hindsight, we would have preferred a window and natural light despite the street noise.||There was a noticeable damp or musty smell in some areas of the hotel, though this might be common in Bandung’s humid climate.||On the plus side, the location is fantastic — walking distance to shops and local attractions.||In short: stay for the history and atmosphere, enjoy the food and location, but opt for a room with a window, and don’t expect luxury-level comfort.
