Top hotels in Sawahan
ibis Surabaya Tidar
Holiday Inn Express Surabaya CenterPoint by IHG
The location was great ... far enough from congestion but close enough to walk if needed. Night food markets down the street. Good variety at breakfast. Only issue was room cleaning was before 10am.

Four Points by Sheraton Surabaya, Pakuwon Indah
Amazing staff, very clean. Next to shopping centre which was great. Downsides - restaurant had only one wine by the glass so we had to eat elsewhere and two pools, only one gets the sun in the morning but this was reserved for guests in the next hotel (Westin) and not allowed usage.
