Sukapura
Java Banana Bromo Lodge
A cozy boutique hotel with beautiful views. It is a lodge, cafe and gallery. Also offer mountain bike rental.
Grand Bromo Hotel
Formerly this was clearly the grandest place to stay near the park but Java Banana may now hold that accolade. Located in Sukapura about one hour down the hill from Cemoro Lawang.
Cemoro lawang
Lava View Lodge
The most upmarket option in Cemoro Lawang, located at the caldera edge some 500 m west of the village and the price is a bit higher than other options here. Looks better from outside than in, but the rooms are clean and have hot water.
Cafe Lava
This is a budget option and it does have a rather wonderful name. Famous for its cheery attitude to visitors and notoriously bad food! Also, the hot showers don't work very well.
Hotel Bromo Permai
It is right on top in a fabulous location but it is not cheap compared to the other options. Also reports of the hot water and heating not working.
Tosari/wonokitri
Bromo Cottages
Despite the name, it is actually a fairly upmarket hotel with 100 rooms. Has a good Chinese restaurant attached and can arrange car hire. Offer a full compliment of organised tours in and around the park as well as catering for the independent traveller.
Bromo Surya Indah Homestay
Simple place to stay in an excellent location. Popular with budget travellers.
camping
Camping is certainly possible in the park but you must register at the Cemoro Lawang gate where there is an adjacent campsite. There are many sources of safe, fresh water in the park - ask locally.
Potential campers should be very aware of how cold it gets here though and be thoroughly prepared for that. Heavy duty sleeping bags are essential.
lodging
There are plenty of accommodation options around the park. Facilities at Cemoro Lawang and elsewhere close to the caldera are quite basic though and those visitors looking for more comfortable accommodation should stay in Sukapura or Tosari.
