Up-Peak Hotel Simpang Lima Semarang Powered by Archipelago
The hotel was clean and confy. The customer service was nice and friendly. The phone in the room did not work out so everytime we need to ask customer service, we need to go down. The wifi also not working well. The bathroom soap dispenser was broken in the room that we stay.

I booked this for one of my vendor who had stayed here for a few times in the past 2 years. However this time they were dissapointed. The room was messy and dusty like it hasn't been cleaned for sometimes. There are cockroach and leaking shower that goes to the bedroom.
