Hotel Mata Air: Budget stay at Sangkanurip resort strip

What can I ask for Rp. 77,000 including tax. Comes with free breakfast - Nasi Goreng with shreaded fried scambled egg

There is no toilet flushing system, you got to force splash a pail of water to push your load down. I brought my own roll of toilet paper. I guess this is typical to budget hotel. It has a rectangular ceramic tiles bathtub and warm natural spring water leads into it. Not bad for a budet hotel.

Unique Quality: In my stay, I observed that it is quite a popular budget hotel for the locals. There is a karaoke lounge and dining restaurant and well priced room rates. And perhaps because of these reasons, there are always a group of 'working girls' sitting around. But they are not agressive and generally passive. They are unlike those in Jakarta who are out to grab people. In my first night stay, there was this stunner who was sitting near to the check-in counter. When I briefly looked at her, thinking that she might be a hotel maid, she just had a split second eye contact with me and then looked away. Just don't give any signal and you will be alright and peaceful.

I was fortunate enough to meet this old masseuse guy. Not only can he speak english, he gives hell of a good massage. By pressing on certain parts of your body, he can tell what what are the problems without you telling. Throughout my stay, he is my great communication tool. Because I can't speak and hear a single Bahasa Indonesian. And 99.9% of the locals don't speak English. His name is Eddy, find him when you are there. Not only he is a great help, he will show you a miracle weed called ‘gotu kola’ that you can pluck some and plant it at your own country which I did. A man in China actually lived to 256 years old with the help of this herb.
