Hotel Tua comprises 18 Budi Darma’s short stories dating from the 70s to the first decade of 2000s.



It feels heavy with ideas and thoughts yet is written in a fairly light style. It is luring, it is beguiling, and it teaches you something without burdening you with pretentious teachings. It’s definitely one of the best short-story collections I’ve ever read.
— Ratih Dwi Astuti   in Hotel Tua (Personal Blog, Aug 10, 2018)
