Unbelievable RedDoorz Deal in Malang: Oro-Oro Ombo Awaits!

Unbelievable RedDoorz Deal in Malang: Oro-Oro Ombo Awaits!
Okay, buckle up, because this isn't your average hotel review. This is me, just back from Malang, Indonesia, fueled by strong coffee and a slightly bewildered sense of "Did that really happen?" Let's talk about this Unbelievable RedDoorz Deal in Malang: Oro-Oro Ombo Awaits! – because "unbelievable" is… well, it's certainly a word choice.
The Basics (and My First Impression):
So, RedDoorz, right? It's a budget chain, but hey, backpacking in Indonesia is all about embracing the unexpected, and the price was killer. The promise of Oro-Oro Ombo (a cool name, right?) was enough to suck me in. Honestly, my first thought when I saw the place? "Well, this is… something." It's not the Ritz, folks. Think more along the lines of "clean and functional," with a healthy dose of "maybe they ran out of decorating budget."
Accessibility & Getting There: A Mixed Bag
- Accessibility: Okay, so, this is where things get a little blurry. I personally didn't need any special assistance, but I noticed the Facilities for disabled guests were listed. However, I'm not entirely sure how extensive those facilities are, nor am I sure the elevators were working, judging by the fact the hotel had an Elevator. Wheelchair accessible is listed but I cannot say for certain as I did not see any special accommodations. Car park [on-site] was definitely a plus.
- Getting There: The Airport transfer was something I skipped, so I was on my own. Finding the place was surprisingly easy thanks to Google Maps and the driver, and there was car park [free of charge] available.
Cleanliness & Safety: Praying for the Best!
- Alright, let's be real: I check every corner of a budget hotel room like a hawk before I unpack. The Cleanliness and safety section, I'll admit, was my top priority. The Hand sanitizer was available, and I definitely used it religiously. They claimed to use Anti-viral cleaning products and to do Daily disinfection in common areas and Rooms sanitized between stays. Staff trained in safety protocol, sounds great on paper, but I didn't exactly see them practicing their Heimlich maneuver skills, you know? Hot water linen and laundry washing and Hygiene certification, these were reassuring, and I can say that the bed sheets were (thankfully!) clean.
- Room sanitization opt-out available. Nice, that's responsible. They had Front desk [24-hour] which was great for a late check-in or any unexpected issues. The building had CCTV in common areas and CCTV outside property, as well as Security [24-hour].
The Room – My Humble Abode:
My room? It was… functional. And a lot like what I was expecting. The Air conditioning was a godsend! The Blackout curtains were seriously appreciated after a long day of exploring. It had Internet access – wireless which was great, because I still have work to catch up on. I was happy to have a Desk to work on and the Free bottled water helped to keep me hydrated. The Refrigerator was small, and the TV had all the channels, but I was there to explore the town. The Seating area was a nice touch and it was a nice place to relax after the day was over. Smoke detector and Fire extinguisher are good, you know, just in case the instant coffee goes rogue.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: Surviving on… Whatever's Available
- Okay, the food situation was a bit of an adventure. They offered Breakfast [buffet], listed as Asian breakfast, and Western breakfast. I'm pretty sure "breakfast" was a generous term. I found a buffet with some fried noodles, rice, and a scary-looking (but surprisingly tasty) dish that I think was a kind of chicken curry. There was toast and some pre-packaged jams. Coffee wasn't great, but it's hard to complain at that price point. There's a Coffee/tea in the restaurant too.
- There was a Bar, but I didn't dare venture in. The thought of happy hour in that place made me have flashbacks to a karaoke bar one time. Coffee shop was another option.
- There was a Snack bar and a Poolside bar.
- They do have Room service [24-hour], which is good if you are the adventurous type.
Ways to Relax - Maybe… Definitely Not Spa Day:
- Swimming pool (outdoor): I looked at the pool with a sad realization. No one was using it, and for good reason. I did notice that is there was a Pool with view.
- Gym/fitness: The fitness center had equipment that looked like it had been through a war.
Services and Conveniences:
- Concierge: Wasn't exactly 'concierge' but rather a lady at the front desk who will point you in the right direction
- Daily housekeeping: Always nice to have that
- Laundry service: A plus.
- Luggage storage: Yup.
- Cash withdrawal: No problems there.
- Gift/souvenir shop: I think they had a very small display of Indonesian crafts near the front desk.
For the Kids:
- Family/child friendly. I did see a couple of families, so it wasn't completely off-limits.
The "Unbelievable" Part (and My Verdict):
So, was it "unbelievable?" Well, the price was seriously good, especially considering the location. Did it blow my mind? Nope. But it got the job done.

Escape to Paradise: Rainbow Trail Chalets Await in Pemberton, Australia
Alright, buckle up buttercups, because this isn't your average, picture-perfect travel itinerary. This is a vibe. We're talking RedDoorz @ Oro Oro Ombo Batu Malang, Indonesia. Let's get real, shall we?
Day 1: Arrival & The Great Batu Scramble (aka, Why Did I Book This Flight?)
- Morning (Oh God, It's Arrived): Landed at Juanda International Airport (SUB). Jet lag has already started gnawing at my brain. Thought I could be all cool and collected, but nope. Immediately felt like a sweaty, bewildered orangutan hauling luggage. Finding a Grab car was a battle, a real life-or-death negotiation with my phone. Seriously, the data gods were not on my side.
- Midday (The RedDoorz Reveal): Finally arrived at RedDoorz. The pictures online were… optimistic. Let's just say "charming" and "budget-friendly" are the keywords here. The room? Small, yes. Clean? Mostly. The aircon struggles. I swear, the humidity is a living thing. My brain immediately went into "survival mode." Gotta find coffee. STAT.
- Afternoon (Street Food, Sweet Victory): Okay, the coffee situation? Found an amazing little warung nearby. The local coffee? Strong enough to raise the dead. Fuelled by caffeine and a desperate need to eat, I ventured out. Batu Market. Oh. My. God. The smells! The colours! The sheer number of people! I navigated the chaos like a semi-successful Indiana Jones, eventually gorging on some seriously spicy mie ayam. Anecdote time: I ordered, and the vendor (a sweet woman with a smile that could melt glaciers) asked if I wanted it "pedas." "Yes!" I declared heroically. She blinked. I think she was trying to warn me. She wasn't. My mouth felt like it was on fire. I loved it anyway. The memory of that explosion of flavor and spice is still vivid.
- Evening (A Quiet Night In… Mostly): Back at the RedDoorz. After the fire, I'm exhausted, but I can't sleep. The sounds of Batu at night are a symphony of mopeds and distant gamelan music. There's a tiny crack of light peeking through the curtain. It’s the light of the city. Trying to fight off the jet lag and to resist the urge to order a pizza (even though I know I'm not going to find a decent one) is all I wanted.
Day 2: Coban Rondo Waterfall & The Rollercoaster of Emotions (Literally)
- Morning (Waterfall Wonders): Decided I'd try to take a ride, so I woke up determined to conquer the infamous local transportation, the angkot (public minibus). Terrifying chaos with wheels is the best description. But it was worth it! Made it to Coban Rondo Waterfall. Massive, powerful, and stunning. I spent maybe an hour just staring at the water and feeling a connection to the massive land.
- Midday (The Labirin Maze): There's a maze there! I thought, "How hard could it be?" HA! SO hard. I kept getting turned around, feeling increasingly silly and lost. I swear, I saw the same family three times. Eventually, I stumbled out, disoriented but victorious. My inner child? Exhilarated. My outer adult? Slightly embarrassed.
- Afternoon (Jatim Park 2 - This Is My Life Now): Okay, I’ll admit, I’m not a roller coaster person. But I went to Jatim Park 2, Batu's most famous theme park, because, you know, "when in Rome…". The rides? Terrifying. My stomach lurched. I may have even screamed a little. But the rides were fantastic! I rode "The Crazy" a few times and loved every second.
- Evening (Dinner and Jetlag's Revenge): Dinner at a local restaurant. Trying to navigate the menu, I failed, but I just pointed at something and hoped for the best. It was some sort of nasi goreng. Delicious. Then the jet lag hit me like a truck. Back at the RedDoorz, I collapsed. I could barely keep my eyes open. Ended up falling asleep with the TV blaring Indonesian soap operas. Ah, the glamour.
Day 3: Malang's Sweet Tooth & Farewell (And a Plea to the Laundry Gods)
- Morning (Sweet Surrender): Time for a proper exploration. Went to Malang and tried some local sweets. Klepon (green, chewy rice balls with liquid palm sugar) are now my weakness. I could happily spend my entire life eating them. Maybe a little too much sugar there.
- Midday (The Local Art Scene): Wandering around looking for a good spot to take a photo, I fell upon a small, gallery. The vibrant colors and the feeling that the art spoke to you.
- Afternoon (Laundry Apocalypse): My clothes? A mess. The humidity has turned them into damp, smelly rags. The hotel laundry service? Surprisingly affordable. But the laundry service is a complete gamble. I'm not sure what kind of magic they use, but I'm praying that my socks come back.
- Evening (Goodbye, Batu (For Now)): Saying goodbye to Batu! Had a final meal of something deliciously fried (I lost track of what it was). Heading back to the airport. I'm exhausted, sunburnt, and slightly traumatized by the rollercoasters. But you know what? I wouldn't trade this trip for anything. It's been messy, challenging, exhilarating, and utterly, gloriously human. And hey, at least the aircon in the airport departure lounge works. That's a win, right?
- Postscript: Still waiting on my laundry. Send prayers. And maybe a strong cup of coffee. Because I'm already planning my return. This place? It's got its hooks in me.

Unbelievable RedDoorz Deal in Malang: Oro-Oro Ombo Awaits! – FAQ (Messy Edition)
Okay, spill the tea! What's this "Unbelievable RedDoorz Deal" actually *about*? Is it really worth it?
Alright, alright, settle down! Look, I'm not gonna lie, when I saw the ad for this RedDoorz deal in Malang, specifically mentioning Oro-Oro Ombo, my inner bargain hunter, and my need for a decent vacation, did a full-on samba. It seemed too good to be true: super cheap rooms at a place (or a selection of places, the details get fuzzy when you're excited!) near Oro-Oro Ombo in Malang. You know, the flower gardens? Spectacular, Instagram-worthy stuff. The deal itself? Well, the specifics are always a blur afterward, it's about the "feeling" right? But it involved discounts and a vaguely alluring promise of "unforgettable memories".
Is it worth it? Honestly? It depends. I'll get to *why* later. But if you're on a tight budget and your expectations aren't sky high (think "clean bed, hot water...maybe"), then yeah, probably. I'd say it was, overall, worth it. Definitely a better deal than just booking willy-nilly.
So, where did *you* end up staying? Was it a total dump? Let's be honest.
Okay, here's the REALITY CHECK. I think the "details" are hidden in the fine print, as it always seems to be. I ended up at a place called something I can't quite recall, let's call it "Hotel Anggrek." (Please don't quote me on that. Or, do, it's whatever). The pictures, of course, looked fabulous online. They always do. The *actual* room? Not the palatial suite I was picturing when I booked it post-midnight, fuelled by coffee and a serious wanderlust. It was.. okay. A little tired, definitely. The walls had seen better days, and the air conditioning sounded like a grumpy robot. And the view... Well, let's just say it wasn't exactly panoramic over the stunning Oro-Oro Ombo gardens. More like, a busy street.
But, honestly? I’m not the type to demand luxury, unless it’s free. The bed was clean(ish), the shower worked (eventually), and they provided the tiny plastic bottles of questionable shampoo. So, not a total dump. But, definitely manage your expectations before pressing that "book" button.
What are the chances of getting a room with *that* amazing view in the RedDoorz deals?
Ha! The "amazing view"? That's a hilarious question. Look, unless you're ridiculously lucky, or have some serious pull with the hotel staff (or maybe you have a hidden talent for buttering people up), the chances are slim to none. Maybe, just maybe, if you arrive at like, 3 AM and are the only one checking in. But be realistic. It's a budget deal, people. You're *probably* going to get the room with the view of the alleyway or, in my case, the street. It's the price you pay (literally!) for the discount. Embrace the mundane!
Oro-Oro Ombo itself: worth the hype?
Oh. My. God. Oro-Oro Ombo. Absolutely. Yes. Bloody yes. I'm a sucker for flowers, and even for someone not super into nature, prepare to be wowed. The sheer *scale* of the place, the colours... it's a feast for the eyes. I'd say go first thing in the morning to beat the crowds (and the heat). The early light is incredible for photos. Beware the instagrammers, though. They're everywhere, vying for the perfect shot. But honestly, you'll be too busy gawking to care. It's a proper "wow" moment place. Pack sunscreen, a hat, and your camera (or phone, whatever works). I’m still dreaming of it.
Is the location of the hotels convenient for getting to Oro-Oro Ombo?
This is where things get a little...tricky. "Near" can mean a lot of things. Mine? Sure, it was "near". A taxi ride? Yes. A long walk? Potentially. Was it *right there*? No. You're not going to roll out of bed and stumble into the flower gardens. Check the map *very* carefully before booking. Distance is a relative concept, especially when you're relying on local transportation. Factor in traffic (Malang can be a *nightmare*), and the time it takes to hail a Grab/GoJek. Do your homework on this one! Don't assume "near" means easy peasy. It *might* not be.
Food! What about the food? Is there good food near these RedDoorz hotels?
Yes! This is where it gets good. Malang has amazing food. I'm still having dreams about the rawon (a flavorful Black Indonesian beef soup). The area around Oro-Oro Ombo is a foodie paradise - in my case, it was. Small warungs (local eateries) serving delicious and cheap food are *everywhere*. I mean, from the cheap street food, to restaurant - I enjoyed everything I ate. Street food is where it’s at. Don't be afraid to try the local specialties. Just, maybe, bring some antacids if your stomach is sensitive to spice. And be prepared to queue - good food draws a crowd. Do research on some of the famous restaurants in Malang before you go.
Any tips for getting the most out of this RedDoorz deal?
Okay, listen up, because this is important.
- Read the Fine Print: Seriously. Twice. Maybe even three times. It's boring, but it's crucial. Know *exactly* what you're getting.
- Manage Your Expectations: This isn't the Ritz. It's a bargain. Think "functional and friendly," not "luxury getaway."
- Check Reviews (but with a grain of salt): Look at the recent reviews, but remember everyone has a different experience. Also, some reviews are probably fake.
- Pack Essentials: Always bring your own toiletries (the tiny hotel ones are usually...not great), hand sanitizer, and maybe earplugs if you're a light sleeper (street noise can be a thing).
- Embrace the Adventure: Seriously, the best part about these kinds of trips is the unexpected. Don't get hung up on the minor imperfections. Enjoy it!
- Be polite: Seriously, the staff is trying. Do your best to be nice.
Would you do it again? This RedDoorz deal I mean?
