RedDoorz Hostel near Lawang Sewu Semarang

There was hot water to shower with and a privacy curtain which was nice. Stable WiFi and charging. There was also a locker provided. Price is ok I guess for the facilities provided. Bathroom floor is dry ish, at least on the surface (not in the tiles). There's a small rod to hang your things which was nice. Soap for the shower was provided.

The staff turned off the electricity in the entire place to chase me out, because apparently "check out" here means I am not allowed to stay in the "lobby area" past my checkout time (12pm). But they did not tell it to my face at first. They can't speak English so it was Google translate. The place wasn't clean and there was stains near my bed. They did not turn off the lights at night making it difficult to sleep. One of the toilets was broken. At night, they left trash in the sink to be cleared the next day. There was a smoke smell lingering in the room, and I had to find the aircon remote to turn the aircon in the guest space on, so that the smoke smell would dissipate. I told them about it nicely at the start but no action was taken, so I took matters into my own hands. Thankfully they let me leave it turned on overnight and the smell improved a lot. Only dustbin available was outside the door on the street. The place was not part of RedDoorz anymore so this listing was inaccurate. No towels provided.

Not for foreigner travellers.

cannot really like or not like something because they didn't give us a room or bed. We booked 1 room and 1 bed dormitory for 290.000Rp on booking. After 1hour waiting at the reception, they wanted to charge us 250.000Rp each bed in a dormitory so total 750.000.Rp WITHOUT room. We finally decided to go on the hotel in front of this one, and when we leaved they ask to pay because "we were sitting on one bed" waiting for them to give us a solution.
