**Indonesian Paradise Found: Surabaya's Hidden Gem, OYO 90075 Feliz Hotel!**
Okay, buckle up, buttercups, because we're diving headfirst into the chaotic, beautiful, and occasionally questionable world of OYO 90075 Feliz Hotel in Surabaya, aka "Indonesian Paradise Found" (their words, not mine… sort of). I'm here to give you the real lowdown. Forget glossy brochures and staged photos – this is the unfiltered truth, seasoned with a generous helping of sarcasm, genuine awe, and the occasional existential crisis born from staring too long at a ceiling fan.
First impressions: Surabaya, the City of Heroes, and Finding the Feliz (AKA, the Accessibility Gauntlet!)
Landing in Surabaya? The city is a whirlwind of motorbikes, vibrant markets, and the constant hum of… well, life. Getting to Feliz Hotel was an adventure in itself. (And I’m using “adventure” euphemistically here.) While the hotel claims "airport transfer," it's worth confirming, and I'd strongly recommend using a reputable taxi service because the traffic can be… intense. Now, for the accessibility… Listed under “facilities for disabled guests,” but the reality is a bit of a mixed bag. Getting around the common areas was… manageable, but I strongly advise checking with the hotel in advance regarding specific needs. Don’t just rely on the list. Call them! Email them! Become their new best friend before arrival.
Rooms: The Cozy, the (Mostly) Clean, and the "Oh, That's What A Mini-Bar Is."
Okay, let’s be real. The rooms are… comfortable. The beds were surprisingly good, and the air conditioning a godsend in Surabaya's humidity. I'd say it’s the biggest plus in the whole building. There are tons of amenities which is a huge plus!!! Extra-long beds, a good size, and well, that's almost everything you need. The room had a safe box, iron facilities, and more than enough space. Now, there's a "private bathroom" which is good. I even opened the window, one of my favorite features! And it had high-floor! And non-smoking!
The mini bar was… a revelation. I'm not entirely sure I've ever encountered one before. But it had water! And free bottled water! Score! The room was clean, and honestly, they seem to take hygiene seriously.
Now, the imperfections. The lighting was… fluorescent. It had carpeting. But honestly, the shower was decent, the water was hot, and the Wi-Fi (thankfully) was free and reasonably stable (a huge plus when you're desperate to upload those Instagram stories). There's even Internet access - wireless.
The Food & Drink Fiasco (And the occasional Triumph)
Okay, the dining situation. Let’s be honest, this is not a culinary destination. While the hotel boasts a decent restaurant, the menu… well, it’s got what you'd expect. Asian/International cuisine, a bit of both. Coffee/tea in restaurant, some kind of snack bar. They serve a buffet! The Asian breakfast was pretty good, and the coffee passable, I guess.
The "poolside bar" was… well, available. But the atmosphere was more "quiet contemplation" than "cocktail-fueled revelry."
Things to Do (Or, How I Spent My Days in Surabaya Without Getting Bored)
Okay, it's not a luxury resort with a myriad of activities, but there are options! And some are pretty cool!!
- The Gym/Fitness Center: I didn’t get around to using it. Oops. I’m sure it’s… there.
- Swimming Pool [outdoor], Pool with view: I’m not sure of the view, exactly. The pool was there!! It’s okay!
- Other Things Not too many options.
Cleanliness, Safety and The Battle Against Bacteria!
The hotel seems to be very focused on cleanliness and safety. They even have “Professional-grade sanitizing services”. Everywhere is safe!. There’s even a doctor on call if you're feeling under the weather. The rooms are definitely sanitized between stays. I’m not sure if there's an "opt-out" for room sanitization.
Services and Conveniences: The Good, the Bad, and the “Wait, Is That a Convenience Store?”
They have daily housekeeping! This is a great one, really a good option! They help with things, and they are always around to help you! Other Services:
- Cash withdrawal available.
- Elevator there
- Facilities for disabled guests.
- Laundry service and ironing services.
- Luggage storage.
- Front desk [24-hour]
- Security [24-hour]

Escape to Paradise: LawinTa Hotel, Pattaya's Hidden Gem
Alright, buckle up buttercups, because this isn't your grandma's perfectly-planned itinerary. This is…well, this is me, flailing slightly in Surabaya at OYO 90075 Feliz Hotel, and you're along for the ride. Let's see if we can even cobble together a semblance of a schedule, shall we? Warning: May contain questionable decisions and an excessive love for street food.
Day 1: Surabaya, You Sneaky Devil! (Or, "Where Did My Luggage Go?")
- 8:00 AM (ish): Alarm blares. Hallelujah. Actually, maybe not. My body thinks its 3 AM. Ugh, jet lag. I glance at the cheap, probably slightly questionable, mattress of my hotel room. Hey, at least it's clean(ish).
- 8:30 AM: Attempt to assemble myself for breakfast. "Breakfast" at the Feliz Hotel is… well, let's just say it's an adventure. I opt for the instant coffee and try the Nasi Goreng, hoping for the best. The best turned out to be average.
- 9:00 AM: Panic sets in. My luggage? MIA. Turns out the airline, in all their infinite wisdom, decided to send my bag to… I don't even know. Somewhere scenic, I'm guessing. Maybe Bali? (Cue a dramatic sigh). Time to channel my inner detective and start calling airlines to get my luggage back.
- 10:00 AM: My luggage is eventually found. But now I have to arrange for it to be delivered.
- 11:00 AM: Okay, so it's already noon, and I've barely made it out of the hotel alive. I decide to embrace the chaos and explore the Tunjungan area - Surabaya's old town. It's hot. Like, melt-your-face-off hot. But the colonial buildings are kinda cool, even if they're crumbling a bit. The heat makes everything feel surreal, and the throngs of scooter drivers made me feel like I was in the middle of a crazy scene.
- 1:00 PM: Holy freakin' carbs! I'm starving, and my stomach is making noises only a hungry beast can make. Spotted a street vendor selling gado-gado. This is when I realize, I'd pay a fortune to have it back home!
- 2:00 PM: Got lost in the maze of a local market. I was on the hunt for souvenirs. It was full of chaos, vibrant colors, and the most amazing smells. The people, the smells, the sheer energy of it all was exhilarating. (And exhausting). Decided to invest in a questionable but incredibly attractive, hat.
- 3:00 PM: Coffee Break! Found a tiny little café down a side street. It was a haven of calm. I try the local coffee with condensed milk. Sweet, rich, and a total caffeine kick to get through the heat.
- 4:00 PM: Head back to the hotel. Feel like I might be wilting. I'm still sweaty. A nap is calling my name.
- 6:00 PM: Dinner time! I was determined to try anything and everything. Dinner was at a little warung (small restaurant) that someone recommended. I order some local specialties and get to know the owner. This is one of the best things about traveling.
- 8:00 PM: Okay, I've realized I've barely scratched the surface of Surabaya. I'm already in love and ready to see more. Back at the hotel, I'm already dreaming of my next day.
Day 2: Surabaya, You're Okay, I Guess! (But, Seriously, That Food…)
- 7:00 AM: Back in the real world thanks to the blaring alarm. Ugh. Breakfast at the hotel (same as yesterday, with slightly less enthusiasm).
- 8:00 AM: I'm off to explore! A friend suggested the House of Sampoerna. The architecture is gorgeous, the history is fascinating, and getting to see the cigarette rolling process was bizarrely compelling. The aroma of the cloves… unforgettable.
- 10:00 AM: I wanted to see more. Time to go to the Museum of Art and Ceramics.
- 12:00 PM: Lunch time! The best mie ayam (chicken noodle soup) of my life. I ate so fast and it was only 5,000 rupiah! I felt a sense of victory.
- 1:00 PM: More exploring! The city is full of surprises.
- 3:00 PM: A quick rest at a hidden park. The peacefulness was lovely.
- 5:00 PM: Dinner, round two. I'm now a total foodie, and I plan to explore more local options.
- 7:00 PM: I am going to try the local nightlife. There's a lot of fun and good times to be had!
- 9:00 PM Back in the cheap hotel. I can't believe I had to travel so far to discover this place.
Day 3: Surabaya, You've Stolen My Heart (and My Digestive System)
- 8:00 AM: One last breakfast at the Feliz Hotel. Same old, same old. One day, I'll learn to love lukewarm instant coffee.
- 9:00 AM: The last exploration.
- 11:00 AM: Time to head to the airport. I'm sad to leave.
- 12:00 PM: Goodbye Surabaya!
Okay, so maybe it’s not a Michelin-star-approved itinerary. Maybe it's a little rough around the edges. But it's real. It captures the highs, the lows, the carb-induced stupors, and the pure joy of stumbling upon something amazing. And that, my friends, is what travel is all about. Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to go find some more street food. Wish me luck… and maybe a strong antacid.
Atlanta Morrow's BEST Kept Secret: Drury Inn & Suites Review!
OYO 90075 Feliz Hotel: Surabaya's… *Experience*
Alright, spill the beans! Is this Feliz Hotel actually paradise, or just… Surabaya?
Let's talk location. Is it actually *convenient* or am I going to spend all day in a Gojek?
The rooms – what's the vibe? Clean? Spooky? Do I need to pack hazmat suits?
Breakfast. THE MOST IMPORTANT MEAL OF THE DAY! What's the damage?
And one thing you need to know, if you love coffee, be ready to drink *a lot* of it.
Anything else? Any unexpected surprises? Good or bad?
- The WiFi was… unpredictable. Sometimes you’re streaming Netflix, sometimes you're staring at a loading screen. Plan accordingly. I swear, the Wi-Fi hates me. It always fails me whenever I need it.
- The staff were unfailingly polite and helpful, even when dealing with my terrible Indonesian. They're the real MVPs. Seriously, give those folks a raise.
- The walls... Thin. Let's just say I became intimately familiar with my neighbor’s snoring. Pack earplugs if you're a light sleeper.
- (And this is a personal one) The elevator was kinda slow. But hey, after all the delicious Indonesian food, maybe the stairs were a good thing… right? Right?!
Would I recommend this place? Actually, would *you* go back?
