A 160-room economy hotel on Jalan Kapten Pierre Tendean, a 5-minute walk from Paragon Mall and close to the Simpang Lima district.
Last updated August 13, 2026
ibis budget Semarang Tendean is a no-frills economy hotel on Jalan Kapten Pierre Tendean, about 200 meters from Paragon Mall and 500 meters from the Lawang Sewu museum, close to the Simpang Lima district in central Semarang. The 160-room property offers compact rooms with Sweet Bed bedding, an all-you-can-eat breakfast buffet, and even a small spa and batik shopping gallery, aimed squarely at budget-conscious business and leisure travelers. Guests consistently rate the location highly for its walkable access to malls and food, though comfort and room-size reviews run more mixed, reflecting the brand's economy positioning. Rooms are compact (as small as 12 square meters in some configurations), and this trade-off should be expected at the price point.
