Woohoo it was my first time visit to Bandung after I came back to Indonesia. I really can't wait to explore the city since I heard there were so many things change in this city for the past two years, well thanks to the Major. I decided to stay in one of people's favorite boutique hotel in Dago area, Beehive. Previously, Beehive is known for its cafe and last year one of my friend who lives in Bandung told me that there was a hotel opened in the same area of the cafe.
For me, Beehive's location is really good and it was really easy to reach even for those people who ride on local transportation. It is located on infamous area for shopping destination in Bandung, Dago. Yep, you will found some factory outlets and boutiques along Ir. H Juanda street and this street will quite busy especially on weekends.
Hotel Lobby
Lobby situation during day time
I amazed with the neat, spacious and pretty lobby on Beehive. It was too pretty, I felt like I was in the set of Martha Stewart's living magazine photo shoot. I believe you will also like to spend some time on this area. It has two side of walls which covered with windows and makes this area has a really great natural lighting. It was really pretty during day or night.
Lobby situation at night
Check in was so smooth and I got a room on fourth level. For you information, this hotel has no elevator so if you travel with elder you better ask hotel staff to give you room on lower level. At first I was quite shock when I found out I got room on fourth level, I was like, "really? I need to climb stairs to fourth level?" but it turned out I didn't complain at all when I realized this hotel was really pretty on each floor. I saw some cute displays on each floor which would makes you do nothing but take photos on those areas. What an instragramable hotel!
Say Hello to my UBER CUTE ROOM
I booked this room directly to the hotel by phone, they didn't put this rooftop room on sale on some online hotel travel agents. This room has a really unique leaning side wall and more likely an attic area of the house. I've seen this type of room quite often on the movie but it was my first time to see it in a real life, hahahaha. When I stepped into the room, I was talking to myself "I really need to have a room JUST LIKE THIS ONE". I really super in love with this room, well who doesn't?.
This room is really spacious and has a balcony, which you can access from the door near bathroom. Since this hotel located in the middle of the city, you can't expect too much on its balcony's view, there will be no valley nor mountain view though. Its inclusive in room facility were quite complete, I got LCD TV cable, water kettle, tea & coffee corner, hot & cold shower, luggage storage, mineral water and toiletries.
Breakfast
During my stay in Beehive, I chose my breakfast selection right after checked in. Hotel staff's will handed you breakfast menu and you will be asked to choose two menus (room for two). I chose fried rice set menu, complete with sunny side up, beef sausage, cracker, and fruit meanwhile my friend chose Full Beehive breakfast which has toasted bread, hash brown, sauteed mushrooms, beef bacon, beef sausage, sunny side up, and fresh salad on the plate along with a cup of tea (you can choose between tea or coffee).
So what do you think about my stay in Beehive? Isn't it great?
