Ascott Waterplace Surabaya
Apartment-style space with a kitchen and a real pool
About this hotel
Ascott Waterplace Surabaya is built as a serviced apartment rather than a standard hotel room, which suits a family staying several nights near Ciputra Waterpark and wanting a kitchen for quick meals between park visits. The outdoor pool and fitness center give a place to recover on a rest day, while full-service laundry deals with the wet swimsuits a family accumulates fast after repeated trips to Sirens River and Syracuse Beach under the East Java sun. The property is listed as accessible and kid-friendly, and free parking makes a self-driven visit to the park straightforward for the whole group. Breakfast is charged separately from the room rate, so a family can choose to cook instead on any given morning of the stay.
- Kitchen in every unit
- Outdoor pool
- Free parking
- Full-service laundry
Our take
This suits a family staying several nights who wants a kitchen and real separate space rather than a single hotel room, and who does not mind paying for breakfast separately each morning of the stay. It works less well for a short overnight stop, where the apartment-style layout and kitchen go largely unused before an early checkout the next morning.
- ✓Use the kitchen for at least one meal to save money over eating out every night in Surabaya.
- ✓Book early during Indonesian school holidays, when family-sized apartment units near Ciputra Waterpark fill up fastest.
- ✓Confirm accessibility features directly with the property if any member of your group has mobility needs.

Why guests love itWe booked an apartment here for a week with two young kids, and having a kitchen turned out to matter more than the pool did. After a full day at the park, cooking a simple dinner beat getting everyone dressed again for a restaurant. The laundry service also kept us in clean swimsuits without a single trip to a laundromat during the whole stay.
