If you do not have a driver, stay overnight at LM and take the train. |

If you have a driver, go straight to Bandung.

Note that if you have a local friend you can get the Sheraton for Rp 765,000 through a travel agent. |

I suppose the Sheraton Bandara is good enough just to sleep, but dont expect a Sweet Sleeper Bed. |

I know that you did not ask for this, but I see that you are also HH Diamond, so here I go...
Honestly, I do not remember seeing a Sheraton in Bandung last year. But I'm sure that at some point I had to choose between Sheraton and Hilton for my stay. (I'm member in both programs.) But I went for Hilton and I had a great stay there. It's a very new, modern-looking building with a nice pool, great breakfast buffet and top service. Again, it's probably not helpfull, but you never know... |

Yes, go for the Hilton if you like modern hotels. You will probably not stay in another hotel with so much marble. The Sheraton however feels more informal. Its an older property but reasonably well maintained. It feels a little like a resort with several low rise blocks linked together, infact I thought its exactly like the Sheraton Senggigi but without a beach. The towers lounge tries to look like a country lodge, complete with fire place etc Its a simple and pleasant hotel, and I feel the towers rooms (though much older) are more comfortable and feels more homely than the sleek Hilton Exec rooms. |
thanks for the input....would you know how far the sheraton is from the hilton????

Hi, I would say 2 to 2.5 hours. Inmo not worth a stay paid stay at Sheraton Bandara. Points or C&P would be an option though. Also, the non chain Hotel FM 7 Resort at about Rp 550,000 would be worth considering if you don't want to go thru to BDG. It is about 10 minutes from the airport.
Note that if you have a local friend you can get the Sheraton for Rp 765,000 through a travel agent. thanks everyone for the replies....i think we will probably end up spending the night here since my wife is not a big fan of driving at night.... |

The Sheraton is located in Dago which is in the north of the city. It has nice grounds, and the rooms are well maintained. Note that only the rooms in the club wing have bathtubs. All the rest have only showers. Don't pay extra for a pool view room if you are staying on the weekends as they suffer from noise when the pool fills up with screaming kids. The location is nice and peasceful up on the slopes of mountain, however you'll need to catch taxies to get around.
The food and beverage offers in the club lounge and the hotel restaurants are pretty average. If you have any more specific questions please feel free to pm me. My 2 cents re the comparison with the new Hilton;The Hilton is the better hotel. The rooms at the Hilton are much, much nicer and more stylishly modern. The buffet breakfast is also probably one of the best I have had in Indonesia. The only negative I can think of for this hotel is the location, on a busy road near the centre of the city is not the best in Bandung. However, the hotel is! So good in fact, I've started working on Hilton Honours Gold. |

That was what I thought, but the bed in my suite was definitely not sweet sleeper (and they couldnt find me a room with one). The tvs are new and huge though.
