Business as usual
Many visitors of Bandung are on business. There’s an unbelievable array of business hotels ranging from the sleazy to the slick. Good options are: Hotel Royal Merdeka which is simple and slightly dated, yet clean, and the more up-market and hence swankier, hence pricier, 4 star Novotel. Both these hotels are business traveler oriented and have meeting rooms, business centers, internet access and the likes. The Novotel has the plus of being located in the centre of Bandung.
