Panbil Residence Serviced Apartment

This was an amazing find. The rooms are so comfortable to be in. Though this is an apartment, it had everything that a hotel provides. This property is right beside the hotel so we enjoy the hotel benefits as well. They provide shuttle services to the malls and back. It has a few restaurants and they serve amazing food. There is a well known Eska massage place in the hotel too. Swimming pools are inviting. It is extremely windy at the pool area so falling asleep on the seats are highly likely especially after a meal. Definitely coming back. Confirm and double confirm.

Second stay. The stay did not disappoint. Our go to hotel.

It is a family trip and this is the first time to be this city and this hotel. It was ok. 7 /10

Check in is fuss free. Cash deposit of 500k rupiah is needed but waived for us cause we were only staying for a night. Room is clean and equipped with cutlery, plates and even stovetop. Great if you want to stay and eat in. Clean drinking water is also available in a bottle dispenser. Fridge is stocked with drinks you can help yourself too (refreshing and welcome change!). Sheets, towels and toilet are also clean. Hair and body soap is provided too. Located on a hill so expect great views in the day when it is light out. Windy at night too should you choose to take an evening walk. Bed is firm (which is also a welcome change). Easy to get around via gojek so staying there is quite fuss free. According to the concierge, pool is available from 730am and gym from 630am. Just note that Panbil Serviced Apartment shares amenities with Wyndham hotel (located side by side) so the pool and gym facilities are next door. You have to walk over from Panbil to Wyndham (level 2). Breakfast is from 6am to 10am. Again, restaurant is shared between Wyndham and Panbil Serviced Apartments so you have to walk over to Wyndham (level 1). The crowd gets intense at 9am so if the restaurant is full you have to wait 10-15min to be seated. Granted, we came during ***** new year break but it might be less crowded at other times of the year. Food is mid at best. They aren’t bad but they aren’t good. There is some novelty to juicing your own fruit juices and helping yourself to shared bottled juices and milk in a fridge. The egg station seems to be the most popular - witnessed people queueing for it for almost 25min and counting. Not sure if it’s that good or just inefficiently run. My suggestion? Skip the breakfast buffet and order in or head out. Cheaper and probably tastier too. If you order food in you need to pick it up downstairs at level 1. The driver might get confused and end up waiting at Wyndham entrance instead so take note.

Excellent

Booked 2 rooms apartment. Clean and essential items equipped. Enjoy the breakfast varieties the most in 2 days over the weekend. Nice , spacious kids room with reading area plus roof top swimming pool. Will come again.
