I enjoyed my second stay at Hotel Tugu Sri Lestari, where the ambiance is undeniably relaxing and the food at the restaurant is fantastic. The helpful, smiling staff made my experience even better. However, the open-air restaurant can be a bit noisy during meals, which might bother some. Overall, I highly recommend this hotel for anyone visiting Blitar.

My stay at Tugu Sri Lestari Hotel was a delightful surprise! This historical gem in Blitar exceeded my expectations with its beautiful ambiance and rich culture. The room was spacious and unique, but families with young kids may find it less suitable due to the high bed. The dining was enjoyable, especially with the delicious breakfast options available. Just a note, the open restaurant does come with some noise. Overall, it’s a fantastic place for a peaceful getaway, though it's not as family-friendly.

During my stay at Tugu Blitar, I was pleasantly surprised by its historical charm and luxurious feel. The rooms were spacious and unique, providing a taste of authentic Indonesian culture. The dining experience, especially the lost temple dinner, was magical, though the restaurant's open design made it a bit noisy during meals. The service was commendable, enhancing the overall experience. The only downside was the hotel's location in a less tourist-centric area, which limited nearby attractions.
