$3 Capsule Hotel in Surabaya Indonesia

This week we flew from Bali Indonesia to Surabaya where we stayed in a $3 hotel. During our travel we also got to experience the new genose test at Ngurah Rai airport in Bali. We'll give you our first impressions arriving in this city and what its like to rent a bike in the city.

Comment below and let me know if you would stay in a $3 Hotel 😅👇🏼

[@LArdiyan]

Nope😁

[@w3nzon3]

For $3 i can't say anything, 😂

[@supribodong154]

Even I have ever stayed in $2 hotel in Jember east java 😁

[@gledeks]

Hi Alex. I'm herna, living in surabaya. I'd rather to choose another hotel which is more comfortable. I you'd like to visit surabaya again, you may try to stay in kencana residence surabaya, it is behind a mall, nearby the downtown. Its price is affordable You can find it in travelok app I like to do a staycation at that place, sometimes

[@indiartobudisantoso7746]

Capsule hotel is not for me .....I would feel being a rat trapped in a box.....and I can't smoke .....lol

[@LauraBC]

Omg those tests were so cheap! And I've never seen that system of blowing into the bag before. They are way better! Here in London, if we want to travel, we have to buy a test that cost between £150-200! Ridiculous! 😓 And 4 forms of ID?? That's insane! I don't think I have more than 3 haha! Great video Alex, loads of information. Useful for my move to Indonesia probably in October if everything goes well. Thank you!

[@harukrentz435]

I heard Chang'i Airport in Singapore is implementing the same testing system although their testing kit looks far more fancy than Indonesian's. 😄

[@deretanderetan2611]

U NEED TO GET VACCINATED

[@kevinpraditra]

The reason for the bike rental asking for so many forms of ID is probably because taking a vehicle out of Surabaya to the rest of Java is a lot easier than it is from Bali. So they might just be mitigating the risks of vehicle theft... Surabayans please correct me if I'm wrong ✌🏻

[@alexandwhite]

Ah yes it seems many others are saying the same thing that there are a lot of motorbike thefts

[@upilngupil233]

I stayed there 5 years ago. i paid more than 5 USD. it's pretty clean and very convenient. Within walking distance to Gubeng Station and also shopping mall.

[@dirtyfades]

I have stay there Last year, its so much worthy to stay there, especially the location is so strategic near from gubeng station, tunjungan plaza

[@bojankrstic7684]

This is more than affordable price and rooms look great, also toilet looks pretty nice. For someone who stays a lot in hostels I would rate this one with A+

[@putukristianto332]

Hi bro,, Di Surabaya memang jarang ada sewa motor jadi emang susah mau cari, hampir gak ada sewa motor, dan kalau mau cari hotel sebenarnya ada semalam 150 ribu, tapi di pinggir kota, kadang ada promo hotel di tengah kota seharga itu, check aja di sekitaran TP( Tunjungan plaza) , biasa nya rate harga di midle of city average @ nite 350k rupiah, saya di surabaya ni untuk beberapa hari saat lebaran cukup sepi enak kalo jalan jalan to expole gak macet, cuman lebih banyak tempat tutup kalo lebaran. House Sampoerna travel city try it. Enjoy this city bro, hope can see u, and take care 👍

[@angie23575]

This is the place I've been looking at staying in when I come to Surabaya! I worked it out to be $150 NZD for a month which is crazy! I stayed in capsules like this in Japan and actually loved it

[@FitForNormal]

Hey Alex, Great video and so nice to see you made it to Surabaya. I traveled there a few times cus my self in 19 and 20. I am excited to see if you go to any of the places I have been to and see the things again. I am probably not going there any time soon since my ex lived there haha, but I am looking forward to seeing your videos. The tourist attractions i was at was not too good compared to other cities, but the cigarette factory was actually quite nice even though I don't smoke. There are a lot of eating options there and If I can recommend a local place it should be ''Nasi Goren Jagad 25''. A big portion is only like 25K and it takes really good. Just keep in mind the MSG smoke can be a bit thick, so just see if you can sit a bit away from the cooking station but it is really good! I have a lot of recommendations. Have a good trip there!

[@alexandwhite]

Unfortunately we only stayed there for a day so didn’t get to experience as much as we wanted to but we will publish a food vlog from there soon!

[@danielraul1295]

[@ceceanas1267]

I bet you can feel the Eid Mubarak vibe there. With the 'bedug' sound and kids around the neighbourhood, celebrating Eid Mubarak. Have fun in Surabaya ! 😀

[@alexandwhite]

Haha yes my next video I’m uploading today is on Eid Mubarak

[@Rifki_Arif]

What, that is My Studio Hotel close to gubeng train station, i really often stay there, you better to take bathroom at level 4 bro

[@Nelson-lm5ik]

Damnn, this is actually pretty neat for $3. I also rent capsule room in Semarang once for like $5, and trust me it alot worse than yours omg.

[@pranaymendhe1060]

Another quickest room tour, 🤣🤣 Totally worth it for 3$... Very nice video stay safe, travel safe Peace ✌️

[@alexandwhite]

Hahah seems like that’s most of my room tours now “short and quick” 😅

[@davidds9435]

when u arrive in Surabaya, try to reach Malang, they have nice places to explore such as Bromo (mountain for sunrise) or BNS or Zoo ...

[@anggatetsou9806]

If u are sunrise hunter, 1st place i recom is bromo mountain fore sure bro. Definitely the best sunrise spot in east java, even in this country (easy to access and hotel). Sorry for my bad english 🙏

[@enin882]

Hotel 3$ that an unforgettabIe experience, but I'm really enjoy n the video even the advertisement about 1 n half hours...its crazy man. Thanks so much

[@TheYvesDropper]

A small correction. The travel restriction isn't because of Ramadan, but to reduce the number of Covid cases as people tend to travel to their hometowns at the end of Ramadan to celebrate Eid Al Fitr with their families.

[@alexandwhite]

yes i've learned that was the reason now. Doing a video on it next 😃

[@TheYvesDropper]

@@alexandwhite Glad to see how productive you are. It put my lazy ass to shame. Hahaha! Have a good day.

[@ratfink494]

All new Transmarts have a Kid's Fun Park on the 3rd level, and they include a small rollercoaster. We live near one in South Jakarta just like that one. Great video! Cheers!

[@emeraldhand3377]

Actually there is also a roller coaster in mall in Bali, in Trans Studio Bali (indoor theme park). I hope u visit and make a content about it.. Cheers!

Great video as always A.W! 👍 Thanks for sharing all the needed procedures, & etc. Malaysia is also on a full lock down as of May 12 to May 17 for the Ramadan, and full lock down will stretch to Mid of July 2021 if I'm not wrong. Not interstate travel, no crossing inter district as well. People are really getting tired of all the BS (pardon my French), haha 😅. That aside, ENJOY your time there ! Hope you two slept well. Cheers from Malaysia to you & yours xx

[@alexandwhite]

thanks! yeah we're currently living in bandung for these two weeks of restrictions and just making content here with kintania's family. first video from that will be out this weekend!

[@maungphuc946]

Nice to hear their efficiency in Surabaya. More positive information the better.

[@usriyeni2022]

This is Almost similar like the hostel in Singapore but way more expensive $50/ night n it was year 2016. $3/ night is a very good deal .

[@alexandwhite]

Yeah deff can’t beat the deal. Can’t wait to see what it’ll be like when I visit Singapore

[@TeguhNugroho90]

The shower is proper, tho. I mean, most capsule hostels here usually have a small boxes of shower, lined an alley.

[@alexandwhite]

Haha true, I think for $3 I expected worse though

Why would you even think about staying in a $3 capsule hotel? Surabaya has lots of great hotels. Next time check out the Mahajapit Hotel in Surabaya - a great old colonial hotel in downtown Surabaya with a great vibe.

The capsule hotel is quite an interesting go to hotel. Talking about most affordable place to stay in Surabaya, I think a guests house is a good one too. Also, for the bike rental, why don't you try migo? I heard it's also a fun and affordable choice of some sort

[@JakeMillerDoesTravel]

That hostel living for sure!

[@JakeMillerDoesTravel]

@@alexandwhite my girlfriend says she’d be down to try it but it’s a unique experience for sure haha

[@hadrianlaksmanto9358]

I live in surabaya and thats the best $3 hostel in the city center for sure. But you can get a 3 star hotel for just $10 like pop hotel or cleo hotel, Not many people stay at hotel since pandemic and the price drops.

[@len979]

Cool video. Never seen the inside of a capsule hotel

[@alexandwhite]

I’ve loved them since visiting Japan

[@givanokynan]

Idk if there's a capsule hotel on surabaya but I recommend you to have a proper hotel like swissbell which is not so expensive and the location of the hotel is pretty close to some of the biggest mall in surabaya

[@maungphuc946]

How much is the rent for the van?

[@manchesterunitedno7]

I suppose it's easier to rent a car in such big cities like Jakarta and Surabaya, than the motorbike.

[@alexandwhite]

I’ve actually never tried to rent one, would be interested to see how that goes

[@brownstone1499]

Don't complain it is normal if they ask your ID and you don't rent a scooter from the same person in addition of that is for security reasons etc etc

[@alexandwhite]

Not for 4 IDs that’s excessive, do you have 4 IDs on you?

[@InugamiML]

First of all.. No, i would not. But depend, if its only for a day like a i need to continue traveling somewehre else, this is an ok option, but.. If you actually want to staybfor a week a for a room with a wifi, sitting closet/toilet, shower and AC, try using Mamikos apps. U can find places to live for a week better for u rather than in a hotel but again this is just a suggestion for more cheap and efficient option. Or just find another hotel/ accomodation with probably around 8-9 $ prices. This capsule hotel is not for staying long so if you are there for a day and continue traveling sure, if not, I do not recommend u to stay there.

[@andriyanto9834]

Hallo Alex.....selamat menikmati indahnya indonesia....enjoy dan hati hati di perjalanan ya?

[@RhettandClaire]

Dat hotel though😳

[@alexandwhite]

But would you stay 😂

[@mikukobariyoisaplayer]

This Is Indonesia Everything Is Cheap And Friendly

[@chafidwahyu7250]

I've ever booked this one and ended up couldn't sleep all the night. Too noisy. Since that time, i never try to book a capsule hotel anymore. Better to pay higher and sleep peacefully rather than bacoming a zombie all the night. Furthermore, there are some cheap hotels near to this place that you can own a room by your own. Btw, for the motor rental, it's not as easy as you can find in bali. As you know, surabaya is a small part of java. While in this island, the case of motorcycle stealing is quite high. That's why it's quite difficult to find one. Even you can find it, they will charge you more and give you a lot of terms and conditions just to make sure that their motorcycle is safe being with you

Really enjoyed your video. Very informative 👍 your reaction "there's a rollercoaster inside the grocery stores" I'm dead🤣 transpark also have snow inside😁 Btw the reason why you have to give all your ID for renting a bike because I guess here pretty common to get your bike stolen in the streets even if it's parked in front of your house😭 so make sure the place is safe before you leave your bike. Take care you guys

Ok - my son - Cak Dave - did a video of that rollercoaster inside the Transmart (londokampung) kzbin.info/www/bejne/aZ6teYpnfLWlfdU Ok - and now for my thoughts on why it would be so expensive to rent a motorbike as well as why they wanted so many IDs - It has got to do with the rate of stealing of motorbikes here in this lovely city of Surabaya. They would be almost exclusively dealing with Indonesians - so you cop it too. We have had so many motorbikes stollen in our neighbourhood here in Surabaya, including from our front yard.
