I stayed at Amaris Hotel Embong Malang, Surabaya, for two nights, from 14 to 16 July 2025, and chose Smart Room Queen Bed with breakfast (breakfast included). The main purpose of my stay at this hotel was because of its strategic location and being in the centre of Surabaya, making it easy for me to reach some of the important agenda that I have to pursue while in this city. My two main agendas are: 1. Following the selection of lecturers at State University of Surabaya (UNESA) Campus 2, which requires preparation and tranquility during the selection process. 2. Health tests at RSPAL Dr. Ramelan Surabaya as part of the selection process of candidate lecturers at Hang Tuah Surabaya University. The location of Amaris Embong Malang supports my mobility during Surabaya. It is located not far from transportation centers and public facilities such as stops, minimarkets, dining venues, and is also within reach of online or private vehicles to campus and hospitals. Staying impression Once at the hotel, the check-in process was quick and efficient. The hotel staff was friendly and polite. I was placed in a Smart Room with a queen bed, which is suitable for one or two people's rest. The room is minimalist, in line with the standards of the Amaris hotel, but remains clean and comfortable. The bedroom is empty, enough lighting, and the AC works fine. Facilities in the room include: Flat-screen TV Private safe Small desk Free mineral water Standard toiletries and towels Every morning I enjoy breakfast provided by the hotel. For budget hotel sizes, breakfast menu options are quite varied, with delicious taste. A selection of local dishes are available such as fried rice, fried mie, chicken flour, as well as bread, mania flour, fruit, coffee, and tea. Breakfast is served on the M floor, the dining room is not too large but quite comfortable. Special moments The most effective during my stay was on July 15, 2025, coinciding with my birthday. That day I got a birthday surprise in person in the hotel room. This moment was very special and effective because I was present in the middle of my work following the selection and undergoing a health test. A simple surprise in this hotel room was a reminder that, in the midst of stress and a tight schedule, I could still celebrate life and get a little meaningful happiness. Lack Although my overall experience was quite satisfactory, there was one shortcoming that I felt quite, which was the bathroom facilities. The water flow in the shower in the bathroom feels less intense, so the shower becomes a little less comfortable, especially when the body feels very tired and wants to clean up quickly. I think the hotel needs to pay attention and correct the water pressure in some rooms to maximize. Conclusion Staying at Amaris Hotel Embong Malang was a fairly convenient option for me during my stay in Surabaya, especially for practicality and time efficiency reasons. This hotel is ideal for guests seeking accommodation with a strategic location, affordable prices, and a quiet atmosphere. Despite the shortage of shower water flow, I still feel comfortable and grateful to have chosen this place as a place of rest while celebrating my special moment. If you are having an important agenda in the heart of Surabaya, whether for work, selection, education, or medical matters, Amaris Hotel Embong Malang can be a good option to consider.
