The Dafan is Cilacap's finest accommodations, which says a lot about the town itself. The hotel is a bit clapped-out. While perhaps a three-star by Indonesia's indulgent standards, don't expect anything remotely close to an Ibis. Expect to fight for your coffee sugar with the resident plague of ants, and have a shoe handy for the occasional kitten-sized cockroach poking its head under the door.
My girlfriend and I stayed in the 'executive' room, which is adequate if you're an undemanding type. The breakfast buffet is good. There's plenty of choice and the quality is there, as long as you don't mind drinking your fruit juice out of a shot glass.
The karaoke club next door offers a discount to 20% hotel guests, though this doesn't apply to the girls therein. (Try not to laugh, as we did, when they ask you for 2.2 million rupiah for an hour.)
