RUMAH MODE- SETIA BUDI BANDUNG

My husband and I will be flying into Bandung, planning to spend 2N in Sari Ater and 1N in Bandung city. Our date: 21-24th Sep. during the Hari Raya season.
Sh we stay in a hotel in Sari Ater or a day trip will do? What hotels are there in Sari Ater besides the SA Hot Spring resort?
I called SA Resort hotel and they want me to pay for the 2N with cash, no CC guarantee and if no show, can use them for future but no money return.
In Bandung, any recc hotel? We prefer quiet, old Bnadung as we are interested in architecture and arts (not shopping).
Sh we book a hotel ahead or just go there for the hotel. I believe Bandung has lots of hotels.
To all VTers in this forum,
I'm more than happy to help you with the information on accommodation, transportation & suggestions of places of interest. Be it historical architectures or shopping spots of all sorts.
Post me in this forum if you need any help.
My apologies for joining this forum a little late.
Thanks
Hairil.
It will be difficult to find vacant Hotels in Bandung during holiday seasons if you don't make reservation earlier. I live in Jakarta and plan to go to Bandung on 10 September 2010, but my wife has already booked a hotel in Bandung a few weeks ago. Other hotels around Ciater might be Ciater Spa Resort and Hotel (http://www.ciatersparesort.com/?mod=d0c2225b640deec861a1208f37a77c25) or lembah sari mas (http://lembahsarimas.com/)
It might take more than one hour from Ciater hot spring to Bandung city, a traffic jam along the way might delay your travel up to 1 hour longer.
In Bandung there are several international hotels such as Sheraton hotel, Holiday Inn, Arion Swiss-Bel that you can book online. Last month, we stayed at Arion Swiss-Bel hotel located near the train station, in front of Gedung Pakuan (Pakuan Building, built in 1864 based on the instruction of the Governor General Ch.F. Pahud).
Bandung has lots of hotels but most of them don't have many rooms.

The musical arts of Sunda, which is an expression of the emotions of Sundanese culture, include some of the most beautiful sounds in the world. The "tembang sunda" with the kacapi (zither) and either suling (bamboo flute). Tembang means song or poem and Sunda is a geographical, historical, and cultural construct which signifies home for the Sundanese people of Indonesia.
Flowers are blooming everywhere...at least at those places I passed along the way to Cihidung.... errrr...not sure about the spelling though Anyways, the road is actually on the way to the famous Sapu Lidi Restaurant.
Initially, I went 'crazy' on the way up to Tangkuban Perahu. The nurseries along the road with all the COLORFUL blooms....got me go WAHHH...OHHHH....AHHHH.... Its so so so beautiful! SO the next day, the supir which means driver in Bahasa Indonesia; drove me up to this area.
Its like a small medium industry where the people concentrates purely on nurseries. There are flowers - lilies, roses - in all sort of colours!, daisies etc - , bonsai and much much more.
Blessed with good soils and temperate weather, Bandung apart from being called as Paris van Java is also paradise for flowers lovers!
Looking at the houses of the owners...they sure made good money!!!!
The resto situated in an renovated old building. Nice but sometimes I think the color is not the best [since the wall painted pink ... so pinky]. But the menu are two thumbs up. Fresh strawberry juice. No preservative added [without milk also, great!]. And Nasi Timbel Komplet [hot steamed rice wrapped in banana leaf, fresh veggie, sweet and sour soup, fried chicken, tofu and tempe and salty fish, plus chilli sauce].
I guess most if not all Bandung pages have this tip - A visit to Tangkuban Perahu Volcanoe!
An entrance fee need to be paid upfront and the rates differ between local & foreign tourist.
If u can pass as local tourist u only need to pay Rp10,000/pax (less than USD 2). Somehow I pass as local tourist from Jakarta....hehehehe... If not its will cost slightly higher.
The volcanoe was name as it is due to its shape if seen from far. Tangkuban Perahu when directly translated is UP-SIDE DOWN BOAT.
If I'm not mistaken there are about 12 craters in total. Some craters are still active and a few are off to tourist since they produce toxic gas. At a fee for the guide, u may venture down to the center of the crater. You can also hike-up the mountain. You need at least 2 hours to complete the round and of course a fit body!
There are also rows of stalls selling some handmade crafts. You can test your bargaining skills here!
The story behind the mountain can be obtained here
Well, all the angkot-driver will tell you to get in their angkot. But they will not reach your destination. You have to get out and take another angkot, which also will not reach your destination.
The trick is: ask a passenger which angkot you need before you get in.
tell the driver immediately that you will not pay if you not reach your destination.
