2-Star Hotels in Central Semarang

Booked this IXO Hotel as I like new hotels. A short easy walk from Semarang Poncol Train Station. I like their colorful decorations a lot. Good hot water to shower. The small face basin is not a concern, but they have a small shelf above it, under the mirror, to place the 2 toothpaste sets, and it is hard to brush my teeth. Hard to aim my mouth above the shelf and not to splash water onto the shelf. Great staff. Modern decoration. They have snacks and instant foods to sell at Lobby. Guests can get boiling water and cold water from the machine there. Very clean floor in room 105 but the shower room needs a brush with cleaning liquid. Old towels. Good bed linen. My room is a few steps from Reception so I didn’t use the elevator. Room has 2 bottles of water, 2 toothbrush sets and wall mounted shower gel bottle. Can borrow cups from Reception to make our own tea. They don’t give tea nor coffee in room. Only 2 outlets to charge the phones: bed head shelf and under the clothes hanging hook. They manage to have a tv and mirror in room in a very well appointed place. Good design to make use of every corner in a tiny room. Windows can be opened.

I stayed for 3 days and 2 nights at Bobopod Kota Lama Semarang and had a 5/5 experience overall. The location is very strategic, making it easy to explore the Kota Lama area and nearby attractions. The facilities are complete and well-maintained, with a surprisingly comfortable shared space and modern design. I especially enjoyed the shower room, which was clean and convenient. The sleeping pod itself was a highlight—it was my first time staying in a hostel pod, and it exceeded expectations with its ambient lighting, built-in music, and cool, comfortable temperature that made sleeping very relaxing. Overall, it’s a great blend of comfort, privacy, and practicality for a short stay in Semarang.

I stayed at this capsule hotel for two nights during my stay in Semarang! There were some young guests, probably students? It had a nice atmosphere! There was a shopping mall just a short walk away, so I went out to eat, but I was shocked by the number of homeless people! People were begging, and when a girl who looked to be in her teens did, I thought I had to do something, so I helped her buy about 240,000rp at a convenience store 🤦🏻 I really hope that she can overcome her current situation on her own 💪

I really enjoyed my stay here. It's close to everything, the room was clean, and the breakfast was delicious!

If you're in Semarang, definitely stay here close to everywhere and the rooms are clean

At first I wanted to cancel because the trip was out of the planned time. But finally locked and the hotel was very helpful with adding our checkout time. Finally, Kamj add more as soon as possible. Thanks yaaa..

The best budget hotel in SMG in terms of price and location, it deserves 5 stars the service is also friendly there is a lift to go up to the upper floors the room is clean, fragrant, no cigarette smell the amenities are quite good the shower is smooth even though the hot water is still lacking, the flush is also strong highly recommended for the price of 100k ++

The location of the hotel is in the center of the city so it is easy to reach. The staff is very friendly and very helpful. Even if you have checked out, you can still leave the bag. The guard is 24 hours stand by. Very satisfied with this price stay

First, we got a room on the 2nd floor, it smelled of cigarette smoke, even in the hallway the smell of cigarette smoke was very strong. Then I was moved to the 1st floor. It wasn't bad, it didn't smell too bad, but when I asked to move, the receptionist didn't respond well. Narrow bathroom. So his clothes got splashed with water. The bathroom window also looks dirty.

The air is bad and the room is small. Not recommended! It's a big smell!
