The short answer: HARRIS Tuban is the lower-cost option and has a free hourly shuttle, so the transfer adds nothing. Novotel is the shortest trip, but its sampled rate is roughly double.

Totals are a typical room for one night plus getting to the terminal, for two adults, one way. Prices are the lowest and highest Booking.com rate we sampled across twelve dates in AUD. Hilton Garden Inn shuttle is counted at about AUD 13 (IDR 125,000 per vehicle, up to two people). PassGo is priced per capsule, which sleeps one adult, so two travellers need two. Checked October 2026; your dates may cost more or less.
