Malang in Java Timur is a popular destination for locals and foreign tourists in Indonesia.
From Malang you can quickly access the sea where you will find some beautiful beaches.
The city itself has historical facilities and interesting temples. Malang also serves
as access to the Mt Bromo area.
So it's worth a look at where you can stay the best in Malang.
Kertanegara Premium Guest House, Jl Semeru 59, is a budget alternative in the city center of
Malang, that offers good value for money. Rooms are small but tastefully decorated, with a flat-screen cable
TV and AC. Wi-Fi is accessible for free in public
areas. No pool available. Staff at the 24-hour front desk is very helpful. Other on-site conveniences

The central location and the good price/value ratio makes the Kertanegara Guest House a good choice in Malang. Directly in front of the guest house there is always a becak driver who will get you anywhere in Malang for very little money.

Hotel Tugu is a 4-star hotel and certainly the top end hotel in Malang. It is fitted and
furnished with a range of fine Javanese antiquities. The owners of the
Tugu rescued and relocated many splendid old trees here when property developers razed
the old Malang botanical gardens. The hotel features an outdoor pool, spa and 6 dining options that
even serve freshly-baked bread, a rarity in Indonesia.
Hotel Tugu Malang is a 5-minute walk from Tugu Rail Station.
The Melati Restaurant is also part of the Tugu. Melati restaurant belongs to the best that Malang has to offer. In a great colonial atmosphere you can choose from Indonesian and Dutch dishes. And the bar is fantastic.
Price range starts at $ 150 per night.
However, when it comes to the question where to stay in Malang, my suggestions is to skip staying in Malang but to look for an accomodation in Batu. The city of Batu is only 15km from Malang city center and due to it's location at 800 to 1,100 metres above sea level, Batu's climate is pleasantly cool compared to lowland Malang. The surrounding area is characterized by hills and plantations, as well as several really big mountains like Mt Arjuna with 3,338 m. Also hotel prices in Batu are more pleasant than in the huge city of Malang.
Highly recommendable for example is:
The Batu Villas is located 300 metres from Jatim Park. Featuring a Restaurant specialises in Indonesian and Western favourites, it provides modern
accommodation with calming views of the surrounding greenery. Free Wi-Fi
is accessible throughout the property.
And the price range starts at very valuable $20 per night.
So it's worth a look at where you can stay the best in Malang.
