Ibis Semarang Simpang Lima
What is your Le Club status?
Gold
Were you (or for multi-stayers were you generally) happy with the hotel/stay? Not Really
Which room did you book and which upgrade did you receive?
Booked standard king non-smoking and get the same. There is only one room type available.
How are the rooms?
The room is clean and typical with other Ibis hotel.
What was good and what was bad?
GOOD
+Efficient Service
+Great Location in Simpang Lima
+Very cheap ! I booked under the supersale so it was only for 15 USD/night.
BAD
- No welcome gift
- No recognition at all (greetings, etc)
Value for $ or Vouchers? Would you return?
It is very cheap; if there is no supersale promotion it would be only 25-30 USD/night. Perhaps I only return to Ibis if I have to go to Semarang incidentally which I could still have inexpensive rate; otherwise Crowne Plaza and HIX Semarang are still my favorites in the city

Big. Mine had a kitchenette.

Yes. Lounge is very beautifully decorated. The dinner spread was extensive. Only saw beer in the self service area. So unsure if it's table service or no other alcohol offered.
Fruit & Cake platter sent to my room.

Sofitel Bangkok Sukhumvit
Name of the hotel: Sofitel Bangkok Sukhumvit
- What is your Le Club status? Platinum
- Were you (or for multi-stayers were you generally) happy with the hotel/stay? Yes, just a few minor issues, below.
- Which room did you book and which upgrade did you receive? Booked luxury room, upgraded to luxury room club millesime. Room is only slightly larger than their standard room but has upgraded amenities/toiletries and of course, lounge access.
- How are the rooms? Excellent, still in great condition. The shower sometimes took several minutes to get warm. I also saw a cockroach at breakfast, first time in 20+ nights at hotel.
- What was good and what was bad? Great service (better than usual, perhaps due to reduced demand), excellent buffet breakfast, excellent location, etc.
- Did you get club lounge access? How was the lounge? Yes, 2 hours of unlimited drinks (wine/beer/coctails) 5-7pm although they weren't always quick to provide refills. Only had breakfast in lounge once and prefer the main restaurant since it has much more variety.
- Value for $ or Vouchers? Would you return? Yes, excellent value overall.

It is a nice hotel located in Old Town Narita, and I actually liked it cos there are nice food options near the hotel. Prices for the nearby restaurants are decent, and the quality are not that far off compared to Tokyo itself.
Just that the hotel is still quite far away from the airport itself and the complimentary shuttle service is really infrequent (perhaps due to the distance too & they only use 1 bus).
