Surabaya
Nothing much to see in town.
Rarely seen such a friendly people (at least towards bule) (especially if you can speak a bit Bahasa)
Where to stay ?
It seems that hotels 'walk-in' is cheaper than Internet Booking !
GARDEN PALACE HOTEL
Promotion rate, Standard Room: 250,000 Rp /night including 21% tax and breakfast
www.gardenhotel.co.id
Ok, though a bit old and noisy.
You can book a trip to Mount Bromo there.
Bamboo Denn
Like in Malang also here in Surabaya is a Bamboo Denn. Bamboo Denn is located at Jalan Ketabang Kali no 6A and has beds in a dorm for 12,000 rp. Small rooms run from 20,000 to 35,000 rp.
The place is often full, especially in the tourist season because in Bamboo Denn also live students. The students always try to get you into an English discussion.
Hotel Gubeng
Another cheap place is Hotel Gubeng at Jalan Sumatra no 18. The rooms, running from 80,000 to 100,000 rp, have nothing special to offer but the hotel is very close to the Gubeng station.
Hotel Santoso
At Jalan Embong Kenongo no 40 you can find Hotel Santoso which has some rooms facing a garden for about 80,000 rp. The rooms are clean and there is a shared bathroom.
Hotel Remaja
Also at Jalan Embong Kenongo on no 12 is the Hotel Remaja which offers nice air-con rooms with television and a bathroom for 240,000 rp up to 300,000 rp.
Wisma Marwarani
Run by a Chinese family you can find Wisma Marwarani at Jalan Embong Kenongo no 73. This very friendly and helpful people offer you a nice clean room with air-con, television and a bathroom for 220,000 rp
Hotel Majapahit
If you prefer the colonial style then you can stay at Hotel Majapahit at Jalan Tunjungan no 65. This hotel was build in 1910 by the Dutch as Hotel Oranje. It has just finished major renovations and is now a very nice place to stay. No price available yet.
Garden Palace Hotel
A nice place to stay is the Garden Palace Hotel with spacious rooms with bathroom, television, air-con and so on. The prices run from 800,000 rp. There is also a good restaurant and a 24-hour coffee shop
Hotel Natour Simpang
Simpang means crossroad and that's where you can find Hotel Natour Simpang at Jalan Pemuda no 1-3. The rooms are average for U$90. The rooms on the two highest floors are noisy because of the elevator machines on the top of the building. The hotel also offers a swimming pool.
Hyatt Regency Surabaya
One of the finest hotels is the Hyatt Regency at Jalan Basuki Rachmat no 124-128. There is everything you can expect from an international business hotel. A swimming pool, restaurants, bars and a business center. |

Where to buy ?
TUNJUGAN SHOPPING CENTER
The biggest and most interesting shopping mall in town.
What to do?
Mount Bromo trip (Volcano)
I booked a trip (car + driver + guide) at Garden Palace Hotel (460,000Rp) and a jeep there to go to the volcano (125,000Rp)
Departure at midnight, 2h40 drive to a village, then take a jeep there, 1h drive.
Arrived at 03:00am to see the sunrise (unfortunately too cloudy).
Stopped at the Sand Sea.
Climbed Bromo Volcano (still active)
Back to Surabaya at 9:00am.
Nightlife ?
TAVERN'S BAR (Hyatt)
Lousy and too loud music band with the same songs every nights.
KOWLOON DISCO
Techno, loud, huge and very dark.
Club Deluxe (recommended by the doorman of Hyatt)
Well, actually not a disco ...
DESPERADOS (Shangri La)
Bar with quite a good music band.
The equivalent of the Tanamour for Surabaya. Full of old expats of course.
COLORS
Very interesting bar, 100% local (I was the only Bule), with a very good local music band. Unfortunately too crowded.
SAMMY'S (Westin)
Disco, crowded, no real interest. |

What to see ?
Surabaya has not so much touristic attractions to offer. The city is mainly a commercial center and a hot and busy place. Most tourists stay here as transit to go on to other islands or to eastern Java.
Surabaya Zoo
They say the Surabaya Zoo is the largest in southeast Asia. The animals do not differ much from the species in any other zoo but it is true that the park itself is large with a lot of space. Most animals however don't have that space. There is a nice collection of fishes in the aquarium hall. In front of it there is a terrarium with snakes which are once a week fed with other snakes. If you don't have time to visit the island Komodo to see the Komodo dragons, use your change, you can see them here.
The Surabaya Zoo is located near the Joyoboyo bus station and is opened from 07.00 till 17.00. The entry costs 4,000 rp and if you want to visit the aquarium you have to pay 1000 rp.
Tanjung Perak
Tanjung Perak is the harbor area of Surabaya. Along the 2 km long wharf of Kalimas harbor, you can find the large wooden schooners which sail to Kalimantan and Sulawesi. It isn't so busy with tourists here as Sunda Kelapa in Jakarta but it is worth visiting.
To go there you can take a bus heading Tanjung Perak from Jalan Jen. Basuki Rachmat.
Mesjid Ampel
North of the center you can find the Mesjid Ampel. It is a popular religious place and most sacred mosque for the Muslims the vicinity of Surabaya. Sunan Ampel who was one of the people who brought the Islam to Java is buried here in 1481. The mosque can be found at Jalan Ampel Suci near Semut Station.
Tretes
If you are tired of the busy Surabaya you can go to the hill resort Tretes. There is not much to do, except a trip to the waterfalls in the neighborhood, but the climate is cool and there is a beautiful surrounding area. To get there take a bus from the center of town to Pandaan and from there a you can take a minibus to Tretes. The whole trip costs about 6,000 rp.
Bromo
Information about the Bromo is placed on the page Eastern Java.
If you want to visit the Bromo it is the best to go to Probolinggo at daytime which takes about 2 hours by bus (12,000 rp). From here you can go up as shown in the Bromo section. It is also possible to go by an organized tour from Surabaya. Many organizations organize tours the Bromo which is a good alternative. |

Da nampak negeri orang macam ni baru aku bersyukur tempat aku lagi indah ..tapi aku suka tentang dia orang punya lifestyle, relax aje! klu kereta potong pon takde la nak maki hamun..tapi comparekan Surabaya dgn Jakarta, Surabaya lagi baik! korang kalau gi sana pergi la kat tempat gunung ganang dia, kat tu yg best, aku cuma dapat pergi kat tempat gunung Malang (Malang bahasa Indon, maknanya melintang) kat situ ada ladang apple, jadi la tak dapat pergi negeri orang putih tengok kat Indonesia pon jadilah! nanti aku cerita panjang sebab aku sibuk hari k! nanti aku cari gambar aku pergi kat Malang! |

TQ for the info...mcm x bes je surabaya ni. Ada tempat shopping bes tak? |
|

Shopping memang murah macam telekung, tudung (stail dia orang!), baju siap & curtain..memang muarah gila! I gi dgn my fren, dia buat curtain utk 1 rumah including dapur sekali..(rumah dia flat 4 bilik kat S'pore) dng material quality baik & design yg cantik harga dalam S$400/- klu di Spore mau harga dia sampai 1 ribu lebih dollar..cuma siap 3 hari aje..klu gi sana mesti ada yg tawarkan..sedara-mara I banyak kat sana jadi tentang tawar menawar no hal la!
klu nak belanja tudung & telekung kat pasar turi kat situ macam wholesale tapi mesti pandai tawar..tapi kat sini awas ramai pencopet..
lagi 1 yg banyak barang2 boleh shopping kat Jembatan Meah Shopping Ctr..kat Tunjungan itu Shopping Mall modern..besar sekali kat sana semua branded staff...kat sini boleh beli CD juga murah aje CD tempatan yg original cuma RP35 ribu..Barang branded kat sini murah klu kita comparekan kat Spore & M'sia kira2 separuh harga Polo Ralp ada butik dia harganya setengah harga dari kat sini..mereka kata sebabnya branded staff tu dibuat di Indonesia walaupon gunakan label terkenal dari Barat.
Makan pula yummy...kat sana asyik minum alvocado juice sebab sedap & murah..bakso Surabaya terkenal dgn keenakannya, nasi pecel, ayam penyek, daging empal & lain2 tapi awas jgn makan di jalanan sebab perut kita tak macam perut orang sana! dinasihatkan makan kat restoran jgn bimbang harganya murah sekali..
Saya sempat ke pasar Ampel..klu siapa yg pernah ke Madinah..suasana disini sama dgn apabila kita berada di Madina..lebih kurang macam kampung Arab la kat sini.. hehe! minum jugak air mata air yg diambil dari dalam masjid ampel rasanya bak air zam-zam.. |

Tak tau lah. Aku transit kejap jer kat juanda tu. Tengok cam boring jer. Tapi at least surabaya nie nampak maju daripada semarang. Ada gak bangunan2 pencakar langit. Tapi satu benda jer common pasal Indonesia nie, rumah2 dia berterabur sangat macam setinggan jer. Tapi diorang mmg beli tanah tu. |

mount bromo is abt 4 hours drive from surabaya. it's better to stay at one of the hotels there so that you can catch the sunrise the next morning. on the way nak ke mt bromo tu, blh naik kuda but u have to pay le! then when u reach kaki bukit dia, u have to climb 241 steps before u can view the sunrise. biasanya org pegi pagi-pagi buat...abt 4am.. |
