Actually i am cirebon citizen. But i m forced to stayed in this beautiful hotel due the train tickets were sold out i that night, never stop rain, and must leave in the early morning. Sare Sae is value for money hotel, only about Rp.350,000 for a simple, deluxe, and cozy living in the hearth of city. We can walk to the station only by 3 minutes and just call 'becak' for city tour in the night. What i really love about this hotel is a lot of furniture made from rattan. It's not Balinese atmosfere but it's really genuinely Cirebonese.

I was delightfully surprised to find this treasure with low prices yet nice, attractive accomodations with lots of artistic touches reflecting the Javanese culture. The only hotel we stayed at in Java of which I took pics. The rooms were small but the beds, though small, were comfy. Cute bathrooms as pictured here but with little counter space. Very nice landscaping and a lively koi fishpond create a reflective atmosphere. Breakfast was substantial and came with the room. Way cheaper than Santika and the other options. The main reason I went to Cirebon on my way across Java to Bali was their distinctively patterned batik. I wasn't disappointed by the quality or the prices.

Me and my friends had a mini trip (saturday to sunday only) to Cirebon. We didn't make any reservation for the accomodation.
Sare Sae is a small hotel, nicely designed in modern vernacular style.
The hotel location was superb, it's only 10 minutes jay-walk from the train station. Located at the main street of Cirebon. The staff (Especially the lady in the reception) was exceptionally nice. She let us to have an early check in and gave us all needed information (public transport route and recommendation of places to see or food to taste)
The number of room is limited, and came with no frills.
The room itself is on the small side. But quite enough for a short stay (don't think it would be comfortable for a longer stay with many luggage. space kind of restricted). I do think the room in need for a better ventilation system, though... however, opening the window might do the trick.
their deluxe room rate (the most expensive one) was rated at IDR 300K, came with breakfast for 2 pax. additional pax for breakfast would cost you only IDR15K.
I especially love the breakfast. for IDR15K (Approx. USD1.7), you got a buffet of local food (rice, beef with sweet soy soup, fried onion sprinkle, vegetable dish, shrimp rice cake -- the menu might vary each day, i didn't ask). toast bread and selectable jars of jam also available. the hotel chef also available to make you egg base dish (scramble, sunny side, etc upon request). and also coffee and tea aside of mineral water. That was certainly above my expectation for the price they charged (was pessimistly expecting a plate of fried rice or noodles)
Overall, it was a lovely budget hotel, i would certainly reccomend the place and consider for a re-book, should i have a chance to travel back to Cirebon.

This hotel is fairly unique in Indonesia in that it combines stylish and thoughtful design with a budget price tag. The public areas and guest room incorporate Balinese design touches that are usually only found in much more expensive hotels.

The rooms are on the small nice but nicely, if simply, decorated. Nice touches include a bathroom floor made from loose stones and natural cotton bed covers.

The hotel restaurant is very reasonably priced and the food is good although service can be a little slow.

The hotel in located on Jalan Siliwangi in the centre on Cirebon and is convenient for everything.
