2009-08-24 (2) Manohara Hotel, Borobudur

We reached Manohara before the checked-in time. After took the breakfast at their restaurant, we left the luggage with receptionist and went to visit Borobudur.

Before the story of Borobudur, I would like to introduce this hotel. Again, not hotel promotion nor agent here, just would like to share the experience staying here :D

We stayed for 2D 1N here, and entitled for unlimited free entry to Borobudur Temple on both Aug 24 and Aug 25, during temple visiting hour. It costs IDR 115K (~RM 412) for 2 rooms. I think the price is reasonable. Entrance to Borobudur is USD 11 per person for a day pass. For 4 persons it will be USD 44 (~ RM 154). Now I got 2 days unlimited access, which I can always go back to hotel to rest, and go visit the temple again anytime within the visiting hour, so I think is worth to stay in this hotel :D One thing I missed was taking night shot of Borobudur, I had tripod with me, but I just forgot :|

By the way, there is a free internet access kiosk next to receptionist *chuckle*

Without talking too much, let's take a look at this hotel :)

The room is not big, but we felt it is comfortable. The door lock is up to hotel standard *chuckle*.


No offense but when I look at the bathroom, I was hurray-ing in my heart, hotel standard bathroom, finally :p


I always like room with balcony here :D At night, I sit here and enjoy the environment, starry night, a bit cooling breeze and charged up with some Borobudur power :D


The room building.

Breakfast place, there is another dining hall next to it for lunch and dinner. You can see Borobudur from here.
