Sleep Studio Hotel City Center Surabaya
This property is a viable option for budget-conscious travellers who are not sensitive to noise and are looking for a basic, affordable place to sleep in Surabaya.
Sleep Studio Hotel City Center Surabaya offers a budget-friendly stay in Surabaya, featuring open bunk-style accommodation with privacy curtains. Guests generally find the beds comfortable and the property clean, particularly the sleeping areas. However, the hotel is situated on a very noisy road, with constant traffic sounds impacting sleep quality, and the shared bathrooms have received complaints regarding cleanliness and size. While staff are friendly, a language barrier can sometimes hinder communication. The property does offer dedicated female-only dorms, providing an option for solo female travellers seeking more privacy.
