Traveller's tale Hotel ( Jakarta Hotels )in Germany. The building is stunning, as are the gardens. Inside, however, it is a different story. Curtains in public rooms (similar to Bandung,Jakarta & Bali hotels - 5 star Hotel ( Jakarta Hotels )rooms) and bedrooms (similar to Bandung,Jakarta & Bali hotels - 5 star Hotel ( Jakarta Hotels )rooms) are poorly made and hang limply. The fabric looks cheap, and the colours clash with other fittings. The hall has one small settee, the salon has none - not a relaxing atmosphere. One night, a group arrived, and we were relegated to aperitifs in the hall. Bedrooms (similar to Bandung,Jakarta & Bali hotels - 5 star Hotel ( Jakarta Hotels )rooms) were adequate, but the bathrooms (similar to Bandung,Jakarta & Bali hotels - 5 star Hotel ( Jakarta Hotels )rooms) looked tired and had traces of mould.
