The hotel is good. It is aging a bit, but during my stay they were renovating it. I was checked in by Fegi, who was very pleasant and helpfull, as were all the staff. The restaurant food was good and reasonably priced. It is a bit away from everything, meaning you have to rely on taxis, but because of that it is also very quiet at night.

This was a pretty good property for the price, but small stuff like creaky floors, creaky beds, and weird shower design where you have to crossover your toilet bowl to reach the shower area.

Not the hotels fault... hotels.com fault
Hotels.com messed up my reservation. Supposedly I’m a gold member. That does not mean a lot any more. I have stayed in hotels over 60 nights recently. But I made a date change on this booking. It was booked to include breakfast. But a few days after I arrived I learned that I would be charged a premium for breakfast because when hotels.com changed the date they messed up the reservation. Very uncool. Nice people at the hotel. Nice hotel. But really left a sour taste in my mouth to call hotels.com internationally and be blown off and treated so incredibly rudely.

The shower is terrible. No pressure on the head shower, water sprayed everywhere, or dropped to the sides. Somewhat broken...also, the water did not go down due to the poor construction. I asked to change the room and they did gave it to me after asking and repeating myself over and over again about the shower issue. The 2nd room is the same. Crappy hotel. One night I came back and could not get into my room since it was locked inside. They have to call the maintenance and fixed it...not sure what happened...but finally I got in after waiting. This is an old hotel with sctraches on their hardwood floor and poor shower drainage. Did not enjoy..stay away.

Really well meaning and hard working staff
The staff is amazing. Very accommodating and incredibly hard working. Kudos to them. The hotel food is ok for a 3 Star hotel but overall it is not edible. The mini bar is a bit of a mislead. You get two snacks on the first day and then they are forgotten after that. Overall it’s a nice place and I hate to give it a bad review because the staff is really nice but it’s definately not one of the nicest hotels in Surabaya. Expect things to be on a very slow pace.

The Stay In Indonesia Surabaya.
Yes. The stay in Quest Hotel in Indonesia Surabaya is a very good one. The room althought is a bit small and the water level for the shower head in the bath room a bit small, overall is still a good stay. The location of this Hotel is very good as the bigger shopping mall is juz 10 to 15 mintues away. If you like to drink, there is a pub nearby call Take Five is good for drinking. There is Live Band inside the Pub and it open till about 0200 hours at their local timing. The most important thing is the drink is cheap.

was not impressed with the room condition, requested to change the room. The second room was better, but still not as I expected a hotel by Aston would be. Breakfast was ok. The hotel is only 2 years old, but the building maintenance should be done more regularly, especially due the full AC room. Staffs are friendly.

Everything was pretty smooth. The neighborhood is pretty cool, with plenty of warungs extremely close by for your eating pleasure. One thing about our room was very.... curious. You had to step over the toilet to get into the shower, even though the bathroom was relatively spacious.
