Walan Syariah Hotel

I have lived and traveled in Indonesia for a few years now. This hotel was cheap and convenient, but rather lacking in amenities. Over the course of 2 days I had 2 different taxi drivers take me to the hotel, but neither had ever heard of it. I had to use my phone to help them both navigate to the address. On the wall in the lobby there is a sign that states some rather extreme policies, like having to prove marriage before you can stay in the same room with a member of the opposite sex. I appreciated this strictness as I was traveling alone and did not want to stay in a place with prostitute activity. Although it is a syariah (Muslim) hotel Christians (and/or anyone else) are very welcome. Muslims are generally VERY hospitable and kind. I am a Christian and never felt out of place or uncomfortable, neither did the other non-Muslim guests seem uncomfortable.

Booked this hotel due to the proximity to Surabaya airport. The hotel provides a free shuttle service to the airport which was great. Rooms were comfortable with AC. There was a strong, unpleasant smell of food when the bathroom fan was left on. Not much in terms of the local surrounding area. When we called for room service at 6pm they said it was closed. But if you need a hotel close to the airport then this is the one.

quick stay, they offer free airport shuttle.

The room is wide enough.Beds are clean.The staff is friendly and helpful.Breakfast is good.Conveniently close to the airport.
