You get what you paid for
An outdated hotel with decent condition and service. Room definitely need renovation especially the bathroom as the condition is pretty bad, noisy exhaust fan, broken tap and shower. Had a problem with mosquito and informed the receptionist to get it fixed, but the problem returned the day after. When we first checked in, I noticed that the room has not been cleaned properly as the carpet still looks dirty and food crumbs were spotted under the bedside table. Everyday when we were walking out of the hotel, there's sewerage smells on the driveway which was pretty bad.

Old school Dafam offers style and good service.
I like the Dafam. No frills but big, clean, rooms. Old chairs. Nice old school feel with a lively bar and friendly musicians. Great location in a city where you can walk. I stayed at the Dafam twice and would stay there again.

Dafam hotel stay
Nice pleasant stay, very attentive friendly staff and great service at the restaurant. Although the room showed signs of wear, the room was spacious and comfortable. The WIFI tends to drop often. Location is good, walking distance to DP Mall where Carrefore is, also not far from Paragon Mall. The hotel is also near to Lawang Sewu. Overall I enjoyed the stay there.

Nice hotel nearby to the city
Checking in was quite fast with a welcome drink. Breakfast buffet offer a wide variety of choices. The hotel is located nearby to the Paragon shopping mall. Call room service for supper and the service was quite fast. They have a massage and spa centre located at the hotel. I try the massage and its ok. Overall its a good hotel to consider if you are travelling to Semarang.

Business trip
Hotel is only 6 years, but it feels much older. The hotel feels quite oldfashioned. Very dark and almost a bit spoky. Breakfast and breakfast area is not very pleasant. This hotel will not be my first choice, next time I visit Semarang.

Hotel Dafam Semarang is good, value for money & courteous. Their breakfast spread is lavish and good. In the evening it is lively some time you have singers performing at the lobby near the bar.
Unfortunately their restaurant ala carte menu food quality is poor and expensive. Therefore you may try number of restaurants nearby for meals.
The location of the hotel is good.

Horrible staff attitude but clean and tidy rooms!!
The check-in at this hotel was a nightmare. My friend and I were travelling by road from nearby islands to Semarang for 6 hours and reached this hotel at 2 pm which is the usual check-in time. When reached, the guy at the reception told me that my room was not ready and I had to wait for 20-30 minutes. But, the hotel took 1.5 hours to give me my room keys. So we waited in their restaurant all that time. The food at the restaurant was not really good. The meat was dry and seems quite old. We ordered for drinks in the restaurant and they told us that they could not serve us those drinks because they do not want to open their new bottles of spirits (vodka and rum) for us. Really bad attitude towards their customers. The reception staff had no regret all that while and there was no sorry for them to keep us waiting. Really, I do not expect this from a hotel which has received so many awards from different organization of being the best business hotel. I would not recommend this hotel to my friends.

Clean hotels nice staffs
Clean well-maintained hotel.
Very fair price for the quality of the hotel! Strategic location near some in-town attractions and souvenirs shops.
A few things dissapointed us: didn't get the double bed even though we wrote specifically in the booking order, they ran out of hair dryer so I had to sleep with wet hair, and the lift was not working.
The plus side is the staffs were very polite and willing to help. A manager showed us to the employees lift so we can get back to the room fast.

Hotel Dafam Semarang
This hotel has very friendly staff. It starts from the bell-boy, to the receptionist, and down to the hotel staff who helped to put the extra bed in our room. Even though sometimes our communication may break down due to language barrier, they still smile and try their best to aid us with whatever request we have. Definitely a good and comfortable place to stay in despite the lack of a swimming pool.

Clean and good service
I am quite satisfy with the Hotel during my stays, the room is clean , staffs are good manner and provide good service. It is rather near to the big shopping mall, only 5 min rides to Paragon. Also the airport transfer is very good, save me a lot of hassle and it is near to the airport too.
