Ideally set in the Tegalsari district of Surabaya, Mooi House By Ziri is situated 3.4 km from Sharp Bamboo Monument, 3.8 km from Submarine Monument and 4.2 km from Gubeng Train Station. With a terrace, the 2-star hostel has air-conditioned rooms with free WiFi, each with a private bathroom. The accommodation features room service, a 24-hour front desk and currency exchange for guests.

Everything. I like how chic the interior design and the branding of it, with some Turkish hint on it (blue tiles). The furnitures/fixtures are all high quality and well assembled, a quality is something you rarely get on this budget, yet Mooi House built to highest standard. I wonder who were the Architect / Interior Designer. The toilet has spray and bidet. The sink is deep and wide again another quality fixture. The bedlinen, despite not on its best white shade, but it's the highest quality cotton, the manchester and its cover too has very dense thread counts, it even has special design to cover the bottom side of the spring bed. The spring bed is of the high end, very plush. This place exceeded my expectations. I can say, Mooi House by ZIRI is the haute couture, a secret gem in Surabaya City.

    The hotel cost and facilities is reasonable for one night. Nearby eatery around the hostel. Didn't spend too long as it was just a brief few hours rest before my volcanoes tour.

    The hotel provides value for money, as it is cheap and you are given a nicely decorated, simple room. In our twin room, the beds were quite small and very close together, and the room was small but there was still enough room for us to put our bags and hang up some clothes. The location is alright, it was about a 10/15 minute car/scooter ride from the centre.

    The Hotel itself is in a great location. The room was a lovely suite, even as the cheapest option. The breakfast was excellent and had a wide range of cuisines. The pool was lovely and quiet, even though the gym was adjacent and we were close to a busy road. Staff were exceptional and I would gladly stay here again.
