Sydney Harbour YHA ... The most WOW hostel ...

The book exchange in Sydney Harbour YHA

The most WOW? Hmm probably I exaggerate that a bit, but so far, Sydney Harbour YHA is indeed the most WOW hostel that I have stayed. And why is that ... ?

First is the location.
It's located in The Rocks area! Well, my friend said that The Rocks area is an expensive and popular area! Yep, I guess she's right. I could find many star hotels in the area, but there's a YHA here! :) Not only that, as we walked to the Sydney Harbour; we found many bars, cafes, and shops, even during weekend we found a market in The Rocks with plenty of food and other shops!

Let's rendezvous in Rendezvous Grand Hotel, Singapore ...

Last month (October 2012), I got a chance to stay in Rendezvous Grand Hotel. 

What I remember about Rendezvous Grand Hotel was the toilet that my parents told me. They said that they had a 'smart' toilet! There's button for everything, even there's a button to make the seat to became warmer. We just laugh at this toilet experience, and I was expecting to have that experience too!

Novotel Lombok with its exotic beach ...

Staying in Novotel Lombok is one of my wishes when visiting Lombok. I saw this hotel when I was going to one of the beaches in the southern of Lombok during my previous trip to Lombok. This hotel is actually quite big in the southern of Lombok area and it's close to the airport too, so that's why I decided that we should stay here on our last night in Lombok.

Southern Lombok is very well known for its exotic beach, and Novotel Lombok has one of them. In the Novotel Lombok address, it said that the location of the hotel is in Pantai Putri Nyale.

Laguna Gili Beach Resort ... Lovely place in a lovely island ;)

During my trip to Lombok, I planned to stay for 2 nights in Gili Trawangan, the famous island in West Nusa Tenggara. Some people even has a nick name for that island, Gili T :)

Choosing where to stay in Gili T is actually quite hard. It has plenty of accommodations from affordable to some luxury resorts. I also needed to consider the location of the hotel. Even though Gili means little island, it is quite far when you stay on one side of the island and planning to walk to the other side of the island.

Mascot Beach Hotel Lombok, budget yet beautiful ...

Mascot Beach Hotel is one of the hotels that located in Senggigi area.

The entrance of the hotel is not exactly beside the Jalan Raya Senggigi, but we needed to turn left to the direction of Aerowisata Senggigi Beach Hotel. Then the hotel is near that junction.

If we looked at the hotel from only the entrance, it seemed the hotel size was not that big, but when we walked to our room (which is like to the back of the hotel), then we saw that the hotel was actually really big.

The serenity of Jeeva Klui Resort, Lombok

I knew about Jeeva Klui sometime ago, and already fell in love. So when I got a chance to stay in this resort, my heart was cheering and jumping knowing that I was going to stay there.

My stay was at last August (2012), where I stayed here with my friend. 

This was my first time going to Lombok, and I didn't know what to expect during this trip; but what I heard from Lombok that Senggigi was quite famous.

When the driver, drove me to the resort, we've passed the Senggigi area, and I thought that we would miss seeing the crowd and night life there :(
