-7.926280, 112.966937 Hotel Lava Lodge View caters to a specific type of tourist and meets their specific needs: sunrise viewers and hikers for Bromo volcano. But the journey to the hotel Lava Lodge View requires a powerful 4WD. If you want to see the sunrise, you need to hire a jeep with a local driver. At least a thousand tourists watch the sunrise at various vantage points, so a whole industry has sprung up. It is more Disneyland than lonely planet on a mountaintop watching the sunrise, with jeep drivers, horse rentals, souvenir sellers, restaurants, mobile cafes & toilets. You have been warned, but if you accept this industry, the view and hike is worth it.
In September 2023, room S09 is simple and sufficient for one night. Twin beds, hot shower and warm bed. No idea why this room needs television. Wi-Fi-reception is slow and constantly disconnects. Forget. With a captive crowd, continental and Indonesian breakfast after sunrise and hiking is better than expected. The same goes for the dinner with fuyunghai (Rp35K) and vegetable soup (Rp25K) the night before.
Lave View Lodge offers adequate accommodation for one night. Recommended.
Located on the edge of the big crater (sand sea), this place offers great views. You are already in the National Park and can book the Jeep drive with them. It starts at 3am, costs 550K per Jeep and is highly recommended to see the sunrise and Bromo‘s crater. The hotel is simple but good, you can have dinner and cold Bintang, and breakfast after the tour was really good (Indonesian).
