Dear VTers,
I will be traveling to Surabaya this coming Sunday, and will be heading to Gunung Bromo the next morning. Please may I know if there are budget hotels near Purabaya bus terminal.
Originally I wanted to stay near Old City. But judging from the map in Lonely Planet, the Old City is kinda far from both the airport and the bus terminal.
Extra question:
Is it better to travel to Probolinggo by bus or by train?
Thanks for your advice :)
Hello
A close budget hotel is Bungurasih Rp60,000 but no ac. A little further away is Utami or Sinar.
Better to travel by bus. It is cheaper and probably faster than the train. I would never take the bus to Bromo again. It is a real mess trying to figure things out and waiting. I use a private car. It is worth the money for me especially if you have people with you. I hope you know you will have to transfer to a smaller bus to get to Bromo.

When you are on the road in Surabaya, and in Indonesia for that matter, avoid drinking water from the tap... Always drink bottled water or boiled water... "Cheers" brand is the bottled drinking water provided by the hotel we Stayed ~ the Majapahit Hotel...
Visitors from ASEAN countries usually do not need a visa.
Visitors from other countries can get a visa on arrival.
There is a visa counter on the arrival terminal, and the process is very easy.
Visa for up to 7 days of visit costs US$10
Visa for 30 days of visit costs US$25
I would say where light clothes as its hot in Surabaya but I would say take warm clothes with if you plan on going to Mt Bromo as its really cool up there especially if you plan to go and see the sunrise.
A great advise for everyone travelling with a lonely planet in hand! Find a restaurant or hotel and go to the next door neighbour....... Mostly they are just the same quality and you're not always stuck with the same foreigners on the same tracks. Could be a good thing just to listen to other stories for a while.
Ming Court Chinese Restaurant (at Garden Palace Hotel) dim-sum. many specialties are served here: shrimp rolls, steamed dumplings (sio mai), fish balls, sliced pork, 'bakpao' (similar with bread, but steamed -- not baked), etc.
