LK Pandanaran Hotel is located in a very strategic area, especially for tourists. You can walk for around 300 meters to Lawang Sewu, and 1km to Simpang Lima. It is also near by Kota Lama area (5-10 mins using Taxi).
When I checked in, my room has an uncomfortable mattress. However, when I made a complaint to the staff, they offered me to move to a new room. Staffs are friendly and helpful. And one of my favourite place in this hotel is its swimming pool and fitness center. Located in 24th floor, gives you an amazing view and experience, especially at night.
The only complaint that I had is the wall is not that soundproofed (I don't know whether it is a word or not :) ). I can hear people next to my room talking loudly all night.
In overall, I really enjoyed my time there. I will definitely go to stay here again if I travel to Semarang in the future.
