Four Points by Sheraton Surabaya, Pakuwon Indah

Wonderful place, though price went up significantly at the facility, last year I stayed at Westin, this year I had to stay at the four points, just kidding, the two hotels are built in the same building and all had exits directly to the shopping mall. Four points is a bit less expensive. Fabulous surroundings with great choice of everything.

First and foremost this hotel is located in a very convenient location for access to shops and restaurants in the connecting Pakuwan Mall (Indonesia's largest mall). I travelled with a family with two small children and it was overall very convenient to get groceries, take the kids to the playground, or go out for dinner / lunch. The hotel itself has a modern and clean feel (at time of writing) and the room are well designed, spacious, with large windows with a great view. But I'm giving this hotel a high rating especially because of the positive attitude the staff had towards customer service. I feel like the staff were given autonomy to be their most friendly and helpful they could be. Want to say thanks in particular to Jennifer (Reception), Arnold, Habib, Bima, Ikhlas, Amir and Diah at the restaurant at breakfast time, (actually everyone was very helpful and professional, but we interacted with these the most). The food at the breakfast was really good as well with so many options. So all I would say is, keep doing what you are doing, and please don't let the hotel fall into disrepair or give up on the positive staff working culture.
