A propriedade — Begawan
Begawan is a calm, colonial-style guesthouse set back from Malang's main streets, with a tiled lobby opening onto a small garden and a pool that catches the afternoon sun. The rooms favour dark wood and white linen, and the staff are quietly attentive. It suits travellers who want a peaceful base within walking distance of the city's old-town cafes and Dutch-era landmarks, without the frills of a resort.
Crónicas de Malang
Malang was a fortified Hindu kingdom in the 8th century, then a Dutch colonial administrative centre after the 1700s, which left wide boulevards and Art Deco buildings. The city grew quickly as a hill-station escape for Surabaya's elite, and today it retains that cool, campus-like feel with a strong student population. After Indonesia's independence, Malang became a hub for education and agribusiness, with coffee and apple orchards on the surrounding slopes. Its contemporary identity blends Javanese tradition, colonial architecture, and a lively café-and-street-art scene along Ijen Boulevard.

Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Begawan, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the 3rd or 4th floor at the rear of the building (away from Jalan Raya). These upper floors minimise street noise and offer slightly better privacy and quiet.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the 1st floor facing the street—they pick up traffic and pedestrian noise from Malang's busy roads. Rooms near the lift shaft on any floor can also suffer from clanking and chatter.
Best views
Back-facing rooms (facing the inner courtyard or neighbouring low-rise buildings) offer a calmer outlook than the street side, which mostly sees shops and traffic.
Quietest floors
Floors 3 and 4 are quietest because they're above street-level bustle and away from the ground-floor lobby and any restaurant/bar. The top floor (4th) is best if there's no rooftop bar.
🔊 Noise notes
Malang is a busy city; Jalan Raya carries motorbikes, angkot (minibuses), and honking. The ground floor may also have a small lobby bar or TV noise. Friday evenings can be louder with local street activity.
Insider tips
1) Check in early to secure a back-facing room on 3rd or 4th floor. 2) Bring earplugs if you're a light sleeper; even the quietest room may get some low-frequency street hum.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available
