So, you are planning a trip to Bandung Indonesia and wondering which hotels in Bandung you should book? Do you know that H.O.S. Cokroaminoto (a.k.a. Pasir Kaliki or Paskal) street is one of the favorite areas for hotels in Bandung? In short, it's because of its strategic location in downtown Bandung. Plus, it is easy to find something tasty to eat with so many eateries in Paskal.
First, let's take a look at the many underlying reasons why so many tourists choose Paskal when they book hotels in Bandung and see whether it suits your style and need. And then, we continue with the short reviews of each hotel in Paskal. You'll be surprised with the range of the hotels here: from a five-star hotel to a capsule hotel!
Several years ago, the city officials changed some street names to the name of Indonesian heroes/heroines. Thus, Pasirkaliki street transformed into H. O. S. Cokroaminoto street. However, many people in Bandung are more familiar with Pasir Kaliki (shortened as Paskal) than its new name. That's why we will use these two names interchangeably.
