RedDoorz Panglima Sudirman Madiun: My (Unfiltered) Take - Deals, Duds, and Delightful Surprises!
Alright, buckle up, buttercups, because I'm about to unleash a review of the RedDoorz Panglima Sudirman in Madiun that's less polished press release and more… well, me. Let's face it, we've all been there: scrolling through deals, desperately hoping for a legit bargain that doesn't involve sleeping on a concrete slab. So, did RedDoorz Panglima Sudirman deliver on its "Unbeatable Madiun Hotel Deals!" promise? Let's dive in, shall we?
First Impressions & Getting There (Accessibility? Let's Find Out!)
Okay, so the "Unbeatable Deals" part? Definitely piqued my interest. Madiun isn't exactly the tourist hotspot, which means budget-friendly stays are VERY appealing. In terms of Accessibility, I didn't specifically test it for wheelchair users but did notice an elevator, which is a HUGE plus. There's also air conditioning in the public areas, which is a godsend in Indonesian humidity. Car parking is available, and free, score! Airport transfer is also on the list, though I didn't use it. Generally, access felt okay – more investigation needed for a truly accessible review, but points for the basics!
The Room: My Temporary Fortress (And Its Quirks)
My room? Ah, the room. It was… a room. It had air conditioning (thank you, sweet baby Jesus!), free Wi-Fi (crucial!), and a window that opened (always a win for fresh air). Non-smoking rooms are the norm, which I appreciate. The carpet was a little… well-trodden, let's say. But hey, for the price, I wasn't expecting a five-star luxury suite. They provided complimentary bottled water which is always appreciated. The bed was what one could describe as an extra-long version, I suspect it could mean it's just very old, maybe. They had a desk and laptop workspace, which was great for getting some work done. There were some soundproof rooms which is an extra good thing. In terms of amenities, I could find an alarm clock, a hair dryer, an in-room safe box and toiletries. There also was a private bathroom and the slippers were a nice touch!
Now, for the quirks. The mirror was a bit warped, making me look like I'd gained about 20 pounds overnight. The shower pressure? Questionable. Think more "gentle rain" than "power wash." And the socket near the bed? Not quite ideally placed for late-night phone charging. But hey, these aren't deal-breakers. It was clean enough, and that's the most important thing.
Cleanliness and Safety: The Grim Reality Check
Okay, let's talk about things that actually matter. Cleanliness and safety are HUGE for me, especially these days. The hotel boasts a whole list of COVID-19 protocols: Hand sanitizer everywhere, a doctor/nurse on call, daily disinfection in common areas, room sanitization opt-out available (nice!), and staff trained in safety protocol. They had first aid kit available and a fire extinguisher. The presence of CCTV in common areas and CCTV outside property gave me a sense of security. I'm always a bit cynical about these things, but I did see staff diligently cleaning. Did they use anti-viral cleaning products? I don't know. But the effort was there. This is a big positive.
Dining, Drinking & Snacking: Fueling the Adventure
Alright, food! This is where things got a little…interesting. There's a restaurant, a coffee shop, and a snack bar. The breakfast [buffet] was included – always a good start! It was a standard Asian-ish buffet, which included Asian breakfast and Western breakfast. There was coffee and tea, and a small offering of desserts in the restaurant. While the Asian cuisine in restaurant was interesting. I didn't see any vegetarian restaurant options, so it was mostly just whatever they had.
For food deliveries, it felt kind of limited, but they did have room service [24-hour], which is always a lifesaver!
Services and Conveniences: The Little Things That Matter
The front desk [24-hour] was a bonus. Check-in/out was pretty straightforward. They had concierge, daily housekeeping, and laundry service which is practical. There was a convenience store, where I was hoping to obtain a snack, but unfortunately that was not the case. There's a luggage storage, cash withdrawal, and elevator. The hotel chain is a thing as well.
Things to Do: Relaxing & Unwinding (Or Not)
This is where things are a bit…limited. If you're looking for a spa day, well, you're out of luck. There's no spa, sauna, steam room, pool with view. There is an outdoor swimming pool, but I unfortunately didn't get a chance to use it. It wasn't really the kind of hotel for a relaxing trip, I felt.
For the Kids: Family Fun?
They mentioned being family/child friendly and having babysitting service and kids meal, but didn't see any of that in action.
The Big Question: Should You Book?
Okay, so is RedDoorz Panglima Sudirman worth it?
Honestly? It depends.
If you're looking for a no-frills, budget-friendly stay in Madiun, it's a solid option. The location felt pretty central, the staff are friendly, and it's certainly cleaner and safer than some places I've stayed. The free Wi-Fi is essential, and the included breakfast is a bonus. However, if you're after a luxurious spa experience or a super-memorable stay, look elsewhere.
My Verdict: Solid Value for Money. 3.5 out of 5 Stars.
Now, here's my slightly chaotic, yet honest, pitch:

This is the REAL DEAL, unfiltered and riddled with my own brand of glorious chaos.

RedDoorz @ Panglima Sudirman – Madiun: My Madiun Mayhem Itinerary (Or, How I Survived on Instant Noodles)
(Day 1: Arrival & The Great Noodle Hunt)
- 14:00 – Arrival at RedDoorz, Madiun. Okay, first things first – the photos online looked slightly more glamorous. Let's just say the lobby wasn't exactly dripping in opulence. But hey, air conditioning and a bed are the essentials, right? Check-in was surprisingly smooth, considering my Bahasa Indonesian vocabulary consists of "terima kasih" and "nasi goreng." I'm probably going to get lost at some point.
- 14:30 – The Room Reveal. Okay, it's… functional. Clean-ish. The wifi is, as expected, a fickle beast. But the aircon is blasting, and that's crucial in this climate. The bed looks comfy, and I swear I heard a tiny gecko scuttling across the ceiling. Welcome, my new roommates.
- 15:00 – The Noodle Emergency. Disaster struck! I was starving. Desperate. So, I ventured out. I needed food. Real food. Not just the suspiciously-looking snacks I'd packed. My quest: to find indomie. This quickly devolved into a panicked shuffle down Panglima Sudirman street, dodging motorbikes and trying not to look like the incredibly obvious tourist I was. The first warung? Closed. The second? Sold out. The third? Jackpot! A mountain of Indomie! Victory! I devoured two packets in the room before I even could remember what's written down.
- 16:00 – Rest & Regret. I felt lethargic after the sudden food intake. The bed called out my name. My travel journal sat unopened. This would be my first setback. I closed my eyes.
- 19:00 – Madiun at Night! The "Night Market" Illusion. After hours of restless sleep, I felt energized to go out and see what Madiun had to offer. I managed to hop on a becak (the tricycle-ish thing) to a "night market." I ended up spending hours just going around the stalls. It's fun going around. The food smelled amazing, the people were friendly, and I got a picture with a vendor that sold fried bananas. I think I spent a little too much money, but who cares? This is a new culture.
(Day 2: Culture Shock, Warungs, and the Quest for Authentic Tempeh)
- 08:00 – Breakfast & the Language Barrier. Okay, so breakfast at the RedDoorz wasn't exactly a culinary masterpiece. Something looked like a fried egg, and the coffee was… well, let's just say it required a heroic amount of sugar. Armed with Google Translate and a prayer, I decided to tackle the local warungs. The language barrier is REAL. Ordering food is a complex dance of pointing, miming, and increasingly desperate attempts at pronunciation.
- 09:00 - The Tempeh Trial. I wanted proper Indonesian food. Specifically, I NEEDED tempeh. I'd heard stories of the perfect, crispy, flavorful tempeh. The quest began. This was the day I discovered the beautiful simplicity of nasi pecel and the mind-blowing complexity of Indonesian flavors.
- 12:00 – The "Official" Madiun Sightseeing (Or, the Art of Winging It). Armed with a map from the front desk (covered in more coffee stains than actual useful information), I ventured out. Honestly, I don't remember the names of the temples or the museums. It was a blur of faces, heat, and the constant hum of motorbikes.
- 17:00 – The Great Indomie Comeback. I did it again! I was hungry, and back to my room. I found some Indomie in the stalls. This time, I added an egg!
- 19:00 – Nighttime Snack and a Chat. After the second dosage of Indomie, I felt sick. But hey, I was on a trip! I had to make the most of it. Plus, the AC was working extra hard so the room felt so cozy. I opened my laptop and started writing every thought that got in my head and I uploaded it in the internet!
(Day 3: Departure and a lingering sense of… contentment?)
- 09:00 – Breakfast & the Lingering Aroma of Fried Food. The last breakfast at RedDoorz. Again, the coffee and the eggs. The staff was friendly. This time, I decided to ask for a second egg to savor the last morning.
- 10:00 – Last-Minute Souvenir Scramble. Panic. I needed souvenirs! I dashed around the local shops, haggling (badly) for trinkets and spices. I'm pretty sure I overpaid for everything, but hey, the vendors seemed genuinely happy.
- 11:00 – The Final Farewell. Saying goodbye to Madiun was… emotional. Okay, maybe not crying-on-the-plane emotional, but definitely a deep, profound feeling of… something. It wasn't just the temples and the food. It was the people, the chaos, the sheer vibe of the place. It's a weird, wonderful, slightly messy, and truly memorable experience.
- 12:00 – Heading back. The drive back to the airport was quiet. Every sight and sound was still vivid in my memory. I could still smell Indomie.
Post-Trip Thoughts:
- Did I find the perfect tempeh? Maybe not. But I darn sure ate a lot of it.
- Did I master the Indonesian language? Nope. Still working on "nasi goreng."
- Did I have a flawless, perfectly curated travel experience? Absolutely not.
- Did I love it? Without a doubt. Madiun, you messy, beautiful, motorcycle-filled enigma, I'll be back. And next time, I'm bringing extra Indomie. Just in case.
RedDoorz Panglima Sudirman Madiun: The Unfiltered Truth - FAQ's with a Side of Sarcasm (and Maybe Tears)
Okay, spill the tea. What *actually* is RedDoorz Panglima Sudirman Madiun? Is it a hotel? A portal to the netherworld?
Alright, settle down, drama queen. Yes, it's a hotel. A budget-friendly hotel. Think of it as the Ikea of lodging. Functional? Mostly. Aesthetic masterpiece? Absolutely not. It's in Madiun, which, let's be honest, isn't exactly Paris. But hey, it's a roof over your head, and sometimes, that's all you need after a long, soul-crushing bus ride. I've been there, trust me. I've *lived* there for a week while my air conditioner bit the dust back home. It was... an experience.
Is it... clean? Because I've seen some hotel reviews... things...
Ah, the million-dollar question! Okay, let's be brutally honest, shall we? Cleanliness? It's… *relative*. It's not the Four Seasons. I wouldn’t eat off the floor (and honestly, I’m not sure I’d eat off *my own* floor, either). They *try*. They really, really do. I remember one time, I walked in and thought, "Wow, this actually smells... vaguely of cleaning product!" Then I saw a dust bunny the size of a small chihuahua skittering across the floor. So, yeah. Bring your own antibacterial wipes. Seriously. And maybe a hazmat suit, just in case. Better safe than sorry, right? Because trust me, I've seen things... things I can't unsee...
Are the rooms comfortable? Or am I going to be trading my sleep for a series of uncomfortable bodily contortions all night?
Comfort... hmmm...again, it depends on your tolerance for… simplicity. The beds are… well, they're beds. They're not the cloud-like, sink-into-oblivion kind. More like the "okay, I guess I can survive this" kind. The pillows? Prepare for a pillow fight with a brick. Seriously, I think they're filled with concrete. I swear I woke up one morning with a neck I didn't recognize. But, hey, at least it's a bed, right? And hey, being uncomfortable is character building. Maybe it'll give you something to talk about around the water cooler (or, you know, the communal coffee machine, which is, let's face it, probably disgusting). Don't expect any luxury, and you won't be disappointed. Actually, scratch that. You'll *probably* still be disappointed. Just roll with it.
What about the Wi-Fi? Gotta stay connected to the world, you know? How's the signal?
Ah, Wi-Fi. The lifeline of the modern traveler. The lifeline *and* the source of all my pent-up rage. The Wi-Fi is... well, let's just say it's *present*. Sometimes. It's like a shy little kitten – here one minute, gone the next. I spent a good chunk of my aforementioned week-long stay in a constant state of buffering. Trying to work? Forget about it. Trying to stream that trashy reality show you love? Good luck. I'd describe the Wi-Fi as "optimistically slow." Prepare to hotspot from your phone, people. You've been warned. I literally almost threw my laptop out the window one afternoon. (Okay, I didn't *actually* throw it, but I *considered* it. The frustration was, like, a tangible thing). Bring an extra data plan. Seriously.
Is the location good? Is it near... anything?
Location, location, location! Okay, it's in Madiun. Let's establish that first. Panglima Sudirman is a main road, so it's easy to find. Is it *close* to everything you want? Again, depends. It's not right in the heart of the action, but it's not *far*. You'll probably need to use Gojek or Grab (the local ride-sharing apps) to get around. There are some restaurants nearby, but don't expect gourmet dining. Think more…street food. But the street food is AMAZING! (Okay, *that* part's true. The food in Madiun is fantastic, especially the Nasi Pecel). So, yeah, the location is… adequate. It's not a selling point, but it's not a dealbreaker either. I suppose if you're looking for a quiet retreat away from the hustle and bustle of, well, anywhere… then maybe it’s perfect for you.
How's the breakfast? Because breakfast is important.
Breakfast… ah, breakfast. The most important meal of the day, the fuel for adventure… at RedDoorz, breakfast is a... *mystery*. Sometimes it's included. Sometimes it's not. When it *is* included, it's a… continental situation. Think toast, some questionable jam, and instant coffee that tastes like sadness. I remember one morning, I walked down, expecting a feast. What I got was… two slices of white bread, a smear of something vaguely orange-colored, and coffee that was so weak, I swear it was mostly water. I think I actually shed a tear. Maybe skip the breakfast and go find some street food, or, you know, bring your own cereal. Just… be prepared. And maybe pack a protein bar. You'll thank me later. The breakfast is the single biggest down side. It's just... depressing. One time, I swear I saw a lone, lonely banana sitting there, judging me.
So, overall... should I stay there? Give it to me straight!
Okay, here's the unvarnished truth. Should you stay at RedDoorz Panglima Sudirman Madiun? If you're on a *super* tight budget and need a place to crash, and you're not expecting luxury, then yes. If you're looking for a clean, comfortable, and convenient stay with a delicious breakfast, avoid it like the plague. It's not a glamorous experience. It's not luxurious. It's not even particularly memorable. But it's a place to sleep. It’s… a place. Just manage your expectations, bring your own supplies (wipes, coffee, pillow), and be prepared for a slightly underwhelming, but perfectly functional stay. Honestly? It could be worse. You could be sleeping on the bus. And trust me, after that bus ride, almost anything is an upgrade.
What about the staff? Are they at least nice?
