Hotel Tugu Malang

Very fascinating heritage hotel in Malang with professional and friendly service.
Make sure to ask for a hotel tour with Peter at the reception after the complimentary teatime in order to get additional information about this historical hotel. Various choices for à la carte breakfast — we choose the American breakfast and it was delicious. Didn’t get the chance to dine in the other restaurant but the location looked stunning.
Some items in the room (like the shower head) could be replaced but it was clean and the terrace was an extra bonus.
Overall a must visit when staying in Malang.

As you walk in, you see a charming hotel with lovely staff and great rooms.
But as you get lost tring to find your room again, you will find yourself walking through a maze of ancient and historical artifacts and art. Like an escape room, you start to uncover stories about legendary beauty of Oei Hui-lan, the wealthy sugar king Oei Tiong Ham, and how this relates to Hotel Tugu and its founder — Anhar Setjadibrata.
Staying at Hotel Tugu is an experience unlike any other! The collection, breakfast, spa, hospitality.
Everything here is world class.

I can't begin to describe how good Hotel Tugu is.
Not only is Malang the coolest city in the world, that is the complete package.
Food, atmosphere, people, history, sites…
Hotel Tugu is a pure match with that description.
It's a museum, and has out of this world facilities, service and staff in general.
My 3 night stay was the best.
Special mention to Anita and Jon on the front desk, Anggi in Ban lam Shop Wine & Bar, Budi in the carpark area and Indah in the salon for their kindness, service and tips.
But also to everyone and everything at Hotel Tugu thank you.
I look forward to staying here again in the future.
5 stars does not do this place justiceso if you're coming to Malang and need a hotel look no further.

The hotel is actually a museum. The granddaughter of a 19th century Chinese sugar baron, an internationally renowned elegant lady, transformed it from her home shortly before her 100th birthday. A zigzagging artistic time-traveling labyrinth. We spent an hour and a half just walking around it and looking around in amazement. The restaurant and breakfast are excellent. The staff are kind, helpful, and prepared. We loved it very much, thank you!

A phenomenal hotel, beautifully located in the historic centre of Malang. The atmosphere, architecture, and attention to detail make this place truly special.
Danes, the front manager, went above and beyond to make our stay unforgettable by organising a surprise birthday cake for my partner.
Breakfast was another highlight: the power breakfast bowl and fresh smoothies are excellent and a great way to start the day.
Highly recommended for anyone looking for a unique, personal, and memorable stay in Malang.

Hospitality for this hotel very excelent, they have hotel tour for limited property access form the owner. We also can enjoy tea time, wonosari black tea is one of my favorite tea. Relaxing in december, enjoy malang during the rain. Excellent.

Remembering my early days of staying in The Tugu Malang. Every corner is a testament of how archival antiques could create such a poetic nuance to the hotel areas. The fabulous Melati restaurants and Ban Lam Bar are complete the experience. Oh don't forget the relaxing spa and the bakery too!

Beautifully appointed hotel. An amazing collection of antiques collected with great taste. Excellent value for money. Be aware that if you chose the best rate, you might end up in a small room which is fair enough.

This hotel has exceptional charm and character as well as the friendliest staff I can recall experiencing.
From the moment you arrive you are greeted with charm and hospitality and this continued with all the staff during our stay. This is always a great relief as a same sex couple.
The numerous restaurants are all exceptional with the main restaurant having the most extensive menu. We ate there daily as there was always new things to descover.
The hotel is a huge colonial museum really of Chinese, Dutch and Javanese relics. It rained a bit so hanging out in the hotel when it did was a pleasure.
You can walk to everything there is to do in Malang (which is not a lot as Malang is more of a springboard for day trips). The hotel is one of the towns main attractions; a destination in itself.
Highly recommended.

Very unique hotel, conveniently located near the train station. Breakfast was excellent — plenty of choices and all made to order. Delicious fresh juices and smoothies. If anything there were SOOOOO MUCH food — but that was my fault for over ordering 😅 All staff were very friendly and helpful.
We also used the spa facilities for massage. Excellent massage. For people expecting too much pampering and fluff, be aware you get exactly what you order. Western visitors may find the service seems a little brusque. We ordered 1hr massage and that is exactly what we got — we both agreed this was the best massage we have ever had. Also very reasonable price for the massage compared to other top-end hotels.

Iconic spot in Malang. Wander around outside to the flower plant market or get lost surrounded by ancient artefacts with the hallowed halls. Excellent food. Huge beakfast… charming staff. A must stay or eat at if in Malang. Do NOT miss the shop (spices, crackers, jams etc)

Lovely hotel in the city center near a famous and busy roundabout but the hotel is so quiet and peacefull. John Backham the host helps with everything. The rest off the staff is also super nice and they’re English is perfect.
If you want to do the bromo ijen tour, ask for mr Dandy. Best driver near Malang.

Hotel Tugu has a great location, just a 6-minute walk from the train station. The property is large, full of character, with a lovely garden and a swimming pool. The pool water is quite cold, which makes it refreshing on hot days.
Our room was spacious and comfortable, though a bit dark, with only one window without the view. The bed was great, the bathroom nice, but the shower pressure could be stronger.
The staff was very friendly and helpful. Complimentary breakfast was fantastic – à la carte with plenty of choice, and everything we tried was delicious. We also appreciated the packed breakfast for our early tour, as well as the complimentary afternoon tea with Indonesian snacks.
We also tried the massage (very good and still affordable) and had an excellent meal at the neighboring Saigonese restaurant.
Overall, a very pleasant stay with great service and one of the best breakfasts we had in Indonesia.

This hotel is absolutely amazing — I’m so glad we chose to stay here! The decor and setting is just incredible and we kept discovering new things to look at and admire during our stay. Breakfast was brilliant — we’re vegan and the staff were really accommodating — and the afternoon tea was a treat as well. The staff were all fantastic and made our stay so enjoyable — they’re kind, welcoming and very helpful. Thank you!

Very interesting hotel! The rooms are in a colonial style and are very nice. The hotel itself is very big and filled with trinkets and decorations, highly recommend the tour of the hotel, our guide was very friendly (like all the staff). There's great food to be had in the hotel restaurants and you can even enjoy tea or a massage!

Outstanding hotel. Such a unique experience. It’s worth visiting Malang just to stay here. We spent 2 nights here and ate in both restaurants, which were fantastic. We wished we could have stayed longer. There is so much to see in the hotel itself, full of beautiful antiques and architectural features and plants. The rooms are elegantly designed and each door has an ornate carving. We loved the tea served in the afternoons and the complimentary head and shoulder massage. The location is excellent, only a short walk from the train station, and overlooking the beautiful central square/ roundabout. The staff were exemplary: attentive, friendly and very competent. Highly, highly recommended.

Beautiful hotel in the local/colonial architectural style. Rooms are a little dated and our bathroom was a little cramped, but that's to be expected when you choose a heritage hotel instead of a purpose-built one. Amazing breakfast and charming service. Great central location.
