Hotel Tugu Sri Lestari Blitar

This hotel is one of the best accommodations I’ve been to. The vintage design is amazing and unique, and the historical value of this place is incredible. Staying in this place you will have an excellent hotel service combined with warm hospitality as if you’re at family’s house because the kindness of the staff. If you’re into coffee and history, this place also offers a visit to the beautiful Kawisari Plantation around one hour journey from the hotel. You will find one of a kind experience in there. Very recommended! 👍🏻

We've visited Blitar and Tugu many times and often stay in one of their rooms. This time we were staying nearby with family but visited the restaurant on numerous occasions for dinner. It's our favourite place to eat in town as the food is always fresh, tasty and reasonably priced with a great menu, and the staff are always friendly and welcoming. The traditional buildings and decor really add to the experience and are worth visiting alone - if staying in Blitar or just passing by. What I particularly value is that when eating out in Indonesia I usually need to be careful what I eat and drink, particularly things that aren't cooked, like fruit, salad and ice, however at Tugu I know I can relax and eat/drink what I like. I can also get a cold Bintang!

Most definitely the best hotel in Blitar, and probably one of the best in the island of Java. The main core was built in the late XIXe century and houses the suites. The east wing, with the deluxe and executive rooms, is more recent (but still a bit vintage). The restaurant is at the entrance. The staff is competent and dedicated. Prices are rather low for a hotel of that standing... Not everything is perfect, but almost.

Definitely a go-to place if you're looking for a well-rounded, classical, and authentic stay. The atmosphere feels like a charming step back in time, but with all the modern comforts. Their biggest selling point is the perfect blend of timeless elegance and convenience.

Some experiences defy explanation given their overwhelmingly positive nature. Such was the astonishing experience of our family's stay at Tugu Blitar Hotel. The hotel building is Dutch colonial architecture blending with the city like surroundings. The room we stayed in was not a typical hotel type room; it was graced with cultural memorabilia related to Blitar’s favorite son, Bung Soekarno. The size of the room was large, more appropriate for a well to do house with a fully beautiful carved antique wooden furnished living/sitting room and separate bedroom with full bathroom and an added powder room. As is the case with any experience, the difference that made our stay so special was the men & women who staff the Hotel Tugu Blitar. Not only for the expected niceties but more significantly for the experiences offered beyond any other imaginable. Simply showing a family photo of the "Private Sunset Dinner at Candi (Temple) Penataran" can add a thousand hosannas to a summation of our stay: If you have an opportunity to stay at the Tugu Blitar, for your sake don't pass it up!!!

One of a kind boutique hotel. It collected memories from Raden Saleh to the First President of Indonesia, Soekarno. It is a living museum. The colonial building was well preserved. Warmth with the traditional Peranakan Javanese-Chinese decoration, and used for the superiors and suites room. The buffet breakfast and a la carte dinner was great. Tugu Rijstafel is a must to try.

On the table there is a very nice welcoming card, but there is beer on the shelf which I can't drink because I'm islam, everything has a vintage feeling, and while the room is small, it's enough for me and 2 other family members. Very convenient.

Hotel in a museum or a museum in a hotel? Great place, good vibe. Kopi kaswari was delicious.
