Hotel Sahid is a nation wide hotel chain in Indonesia. It's owned by Soekamdani Sahid Gitosardjono's family. There are two Sahid hotels in Solo. Hotel Sahid Jaya is smaller and newer than the Kusuma Sahid. I had a chance to see both and I think I prefer Hotel Sahid Jaya.

One of blogger's benefits is that you have the opportunity to get free of charge traveling. I stayed in this hotel as ASEAN Blogger participant, so I didn't know how much the room rate was. The hotel location is strategic, not too far from everywhere, so you can just jump to a becak (rickshaw) or grab one of sepeda onthel (javanese classic bicycle) in front of the hotel. The becak charge is cheap, about Rp 10.000 - Rp 15.000 to interesting places in the middle of the town. 

The hotel facilities are enough for staying comfortably. They prepare all standard services for five stars hotel. It's cozy and quiet. We can enjoy the night listening to gamelan (javanese music instruments). Unfortunately, I didn't have time to see the swimming pool.

Breakfast is my favorite facility when I stay at a hotel. Hotel Sahid Jaya served various menus in its small restaurant. There was one menu that I like most. It was spinach scrambled with eggs and cheese. I forgot its name.

Well, I think Hotel Sahid Jaya is worth to stay, especially when it's free. Heheheee....
