Surabaya Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
Galaxy Mall Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
Honestly the Nicest, Cleanest Mall EVER.
Galaxy Mall is by far the cleanest mall I've ever been in. It's not the newest, biggest, prettiest, or most glamour, but this mall has been managed very, very well. As simple as the toilet, although they don't provide seat sanitizer, it's clean and very well maintained. Each elevator has one person guiding your floor direction and controlling the buttons. They always give top notch service. Well done Galaxy Mall!
Festive Holiday Season at Kitchenette!
This is Kitchenette at Galaxy Mall 2, Surabaya. I've been here several times, and so far this place always provides a comfy place and good food. Whether it's the main course, snacks, desserts, or just drinks, it always tastes good.
But the last time we went here the store had glammed up the place, with Christmas decor and christmas music. We felt warm. Christmas is undeniably the most magical moment of the year.
In the photo we ordered nachos and french fries, they were really good! Also a Choco Coffee with whipped cream. Go try this place!
Carnaby All Over!
This restaurant has their neon logo ALL OVER the place. Literally everywhere you look you will see "Carnaby" written somewhere. And they have a distinct style at every branch of their restaurant, it is the flowers. They always decorate the place with many many flowers. So this place looks flamboyant and vibrant with all the bright neon lights.
They also have a very wide choice of menu, from all around the world. And all of the food tasted nice! The atmosphere and chairs were comfy, too. Great service as well.
If you haven't tried one of Carnaby's branches, go try now! This one was in Galaxy Mall but they also have branches at Tunjungan Plaza and Pakuwon Mall.
Lemongrass Beverages???
This is Nhu Nhu, it's like a cafe but they sell lemongrass-based drinks. From lemongrass tea to coffee! Their store was very unique. It looked like an installation art, although not very big. But they made a good use of it really well.
I personally like their Creamy Lemongrass (with creamer) and Signature Lemongrass. Those were lemongrass tea with jelly, lemon slices and chia seeds. And don't forget to ask for less sugar. It's so refreshing. It reduces nausea and promotes digestive health. The hot ones are also good to drink when you have cold/flu.
For those of you who like coffee (and lemongrass), they also sell Americano Coffee with lemongrass, which they add orange and lemon slices. If you're into trying something new then you should try!

DoubleTree by Hilton Surabaya Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
Local Alcohol
#wheretogo to experience local alcohol beverages. Double Tree Hilton Surabaya served local beverages. The staff can also personalised according to your order.
It's available during evening cocktail from 5 to 7pm. I ordered espresso martini and its quite good. First try they use baileys and coffee. 2nd try I asked for baileys, coffee and vodka. Nice, aromatic and creamy!
Beside the personalised request, they also serve local wine (Plaga) and beer (Bintang).

Afternoon Tea
#wheretogo to experience quite and nice place to work at. Club lounge Double Tree Hilton Surabaya is super quite. Checked in 2pm, there are some snacks and drinks for you and whole place belong to you. The staffs also remember your name.
Afternoon tea is available from 3 to 5 pm with limited small bites, coffee and tea. Don't expect much as it's super mini and not so flavorful. After all, its free of charge, come as benefit from the executive room.

DoubleTree Hilton Surabaya
literally almost #freehotelstay while on business trip. I'm lucky enough to get an upgrade to executive room as hilton gold member.
Fast check in can be done at level 5 executive lounge and while waiting, you can enjoy some snacks & beverages.
It is so empty here at the lounge and service is so great! Very personal, staff also remember your name. Furniture & decoration look so grand. I love vibe here.
Located near Tunjungan Plaza so it is very convenient. Don't miss it when you visit Surabaya or on transit to Bromo!

Best Staycation at Hotel Bumi Surabaya
After 3 years of the pandemic, we are back trying to stay at our favourite Bumi Hotel again. Just wanted to satisfy our cravings and relieve our fatigue in a cool, calm, pleasant hotel atmosphere. Re-entering here for the first time, nothing has changed, the environment, ambience and friendliness of the hotel staff are the same as before. Totally feel the classic atmosphere. Everything is the same as before the pandemic. Of course well maintained. Same goes for the room, just might need some updating, especially the chairs in the room are starting to look worn, the towel rails are starting to rust a bit, and the wooden furniture might need refinishing. Overall it's ok.#staycation

This is a Toy's HEAVEN! Multi @Ciputra World Surabaya
Multi used to be smaller shops in several malls in Surabaya. But the other stores were closed, and they made the biggest Toys and Hobbies store in the city instead!
They also put big Avengers statues at the storefront, like Hulk, and a full size showcase of Ironman armor suits from the first movie until the latest.
If you're a fan of Gundam and model kit building, miniatures, figurines, this is the place. Tamiya? Star Wars? Or even usual childrens toys like Hot Wheels and Barbie? You'll find them all here!
If you're tired and need a place to chill, there is also a good cafe called Nordic in this store.

Making Core Memories in Playtopia
This is a new playground in Surabaya, Ciputra World. They have a big space with lots of fun activities, such as climbing, flying fox, ball pits, tunnels, etc. And you can take so many Instagram worthy pics in here!
It's been so long since the last time my kid had a time at a playground, since the pandemic started. So thankful we finally got to experience playground again!
Fancy Resto with the Widest Menu EVER
This is Carnaby in Ciputra World Mall, Surabaya. The place was pretty comfy and homey. They had unique windows with LCD screens that show beautiful "outside" videos such as snow, rain, beach, etc. There was also an artificial fireplace that warmed up the room's vibe.
They had so much menu, from Western, Indonesian, Asian, Indian, Middle East, Italian, European, American, etc. Even their menu book had so many pages.
Their food's taste was excellent. Me and my family loved everything that we ordered. Although the prices weren't cheap, it was worth everything that we got, and the service as well.
Carnaby also has several other branches in Surabaya: at Galaxy Mall, Tunjungan Plaza, and also Pakuwon Mall.
Go try, we had a great time there!

Bintang 4 tapi seperti Bintang 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Hotel bintang 4 yang tergolong baru di Surabaya Timur, letaknya strategis dekat dengan MERR sehingga memudahkan mobilisasi. untuk kebersihan di area hotel dan kamar tidak perlu di ragukan lagi untuk Novotel Samator Surabaya. design ruangan modern, dan interior yang modern dan estetik. namun sayangnya akses dari tempat parkir menuju ke hotel yang mengharuskan kita untuk jalan sedikit jauh, karena tidak ada akses lift dari parkiran yang langsung menuju ke lobby hotel. Namun, overall kualitas hotel ini memang JUARA, semoga bisa kembali lagi ke hotel ini dan ingin mencoba beberapa tipe kamar lain yang tersedia!#staycation #niceplace
