1. Waking Up In a Roar Jungle Pick the room with mountain Arjuna view (like above picture) and if you think this is a Roar view, wait until you find yourself waking up to the sound of a jungle. When I was there, I woke up because of the morning roar of Siamang and the beautiful birds song. It is because Pohon Inn is surrounded by the Batu Secret Zoo. I could even see leopard and white tiger cages from my balcony.
2. A Roar Welcome Look who is the one welcoming Pohon Inn’s guests: White tigers! There is a door connecting the receptionist area with a cage in the zoo to allow those white tigers saying hi to us.
3. Roar Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner While you are having your breakfast, a leopard or jaguar might target you behind the glass wall. One of my most favourite features of this hotel is this Jungle Resto.
More than the secret zoo, Pohon Inn is just next to an animal museum Museum Satwa (above picture) and The Eco Green Park. Batu Night Spectacular theme park is also less than 10 minutes away by car.
The room is not so fancy, but very functional. Pohon Inn on Agoda. If you find it difficult to book Pohon Inn Batu online, try to contact them through +62 341 596111.
