Gym

Given my propensity to go crazy with food, I have decided that if I go away for more than a couple of days I must make every effort to go to do some exercise. The Mulia has a recently refurbished gym which you can see from the below is pretty decent.

I realise I made a mistake. Having packed light, I didn’t have space to add my gym shoes, so I had to ask them if they lent out shoes. Now, I was thinking maybe a couple of bucks. But no. 150,000IDR which translates into about US$10! I was like, that’s the easiest money that a hotel can earn.

Don’t get me wrong, I think we should probably have to pay to borrow shoes, but US$10 a time? Really?! I mean, you can see the shoes below, but is it really worth 150,000 IDR? I think not! If I was staying there for three days and went to the gym all three days, I could probably go out and buy a decent pair by myself.



Anyway, second rant over. I’ve done a quick compilation of the facilities are available. I didn’t take a picture inside the changing room as there were people using it at the time but there is a sauna and steam room (which was undergoing repairs at the time).

As it’s a new facility, all the machines were brand new and it really great working condition. They provide plastic glasses (not the small cups but big glasses) which you can fill with fruit infused water. Not entirely sure the logic behind this as it’s easy to knock these over when you are working out.



Now, if you take a close look at the bottom left picture you will see at the far end, a tennis court. Yes that’s right a tennis court. In fact there are a couple. You can borrow tennis rackets and balls there.

Opening Times: 6am – 11pm
