For business needs and family events, @Hom Hotel Kudus provides meeting rooms and a ballroom frequently used for corporate meetings, seminars, and wedding receptions. These facilities are complemented by a spacious, complimentary parking area, adding to the convenience of guests.
In over a decade of operation, @Hom Hotel Kudus has served a wide range of market segments. According to Khisin, families remain the primary source of occupancy, particularly during holidays and weekends.
However, the corporate sector, travelers, and business professionals also contribute significantly to occupancy rates. In recent years, the hotel has increasingly become a preferred choice for athletes and sports delegations competing in Kudus.
“While our majority are families, our corporate, traveler, business, and athlete segments continue to grow. We strive to provide services tailored to the specific needs of each guest,” he explained.
Easy access, comprehensive amenities, and proximity to major activity hubs are among the reasons @Hom Hotel Kudus has become a top choice for travelers. Dava, a recurring guest from Yogyakarta who frequently stays at the hotel during visits to Kudus, is one such visitor.
Dava explains that he chooses @Hom Hotel Kudus for its convenience during his trips to the city to visit family staying at the PB Djarum dormitory. Given the frequency of his visits, he has stayed at the hotel, located in the heart of Kudus, on several occasions.
He noted that the strategic location simplifies his travel to various points of interest within the city. In addition to being near public facilities, the hotel is within walking distance of several culinary hubs.
He believes the hotel's facilities effectively meet his needs, praising both room comfort and the professional service provided by the staff.
“The location is highly strategic, providing easy access to all the places I need to go. The hotel facilities are also excellent, which makes my stays in Kudus very comfortable,” he said.
Beyond location and amenities, the ease of finding dining options is a highlight for him. Dava noted that a variety of food choices can be found in the immediate vicinity without the need for transportation.
“When I want to eat, I can usually just walk from the hotel. There are many culinary options around here, such as soup stalls and various other dishes. It is very practical,” he added.
This culinary convenience provides significant value for guests looking to experience the city atmosphere without long travel times. The availability of food options near the hotel also assists guests with busy schedules who require quick access to daily necessities.
Overall, Dava expressed his satisfaction with his experience at @Hom Hotel Kudus, citing the combination of accessibility, supporting facilities, and quality service as the primary factors for his continued patronage.
“Overall, I am very satisfied. The service is excellent, the facilities are complete, and the location is close to everything. That is what makes me feel comfortable every time I stay here,” he concluded.
The growth of sports tourism in Kudus is having a positive impact on the local hospitality industry. As the city frequently hosts national and international championships, the demand for high-quality accommodation to support athletes and officials has become increasingly critical.
In this context, @Hom Hotel Kudus plays an active role by providing comfortable lodging for athletes, alongside supporting facilities such as meeting and briefing rooms for teams and event organizers.
“We provide facilities that cater to the needs of athletes, including space for briefings and team coordination. We are well-equipped to facilitate both national and international events,” said Khisin.
The presence of various sporting events in Kudus has a direct impact on hotel business performance. One example is the women's football competition held in late June 2026 at the Supersoccer Arena.
According to Khisin, large-scale sporting events consistently have a positive effect on hotel occupancy rates.
“When there is a sports event, occupancy increases significantly. The impact is certainly felt in rising hotel revenue. We are very pleased that sporting activities bring benefits to the hospitality industry and the regional economy,” he said.
Beyond its reputation as a hub for industry and trade, Kudus boasts diverse tourism potential. Religious sites like the Menara Kudus and the tomb of Sunan Kudus attract thousands of pilgrims from across Indonesia. Meanwhile, cultural attractions such as the Kretek Museum and Jenang Museum further enrich the experience for visitors.
Furthermore, growth in the sports sector has increasingly established Kudus as a destination for national sporting events. This trend presents major opportunities for the hospitality, culinary, and supporting sectors.
Khisin expressed hope that sports agendas in Kudus will continue regularly to provide sustainable economic impact.
“Our hope is that sporting events can continue to be held regularly in Kudus. Beyond boosting hotel occupancy, such activities also support regional economic growth and provide encouragement to all tourism industry stakeholders,” he said.
With its strategic location, comprehensive facilities, comfort-focused service, and commitment to sports tourism development, @Hom Hotel Kudus by Horison continues to strengthen its position as a preferred accommodation for tourists, business travelers, and athletes visiting Kudus. The hotel serves not only as a place to stay but as an integral part of the tourism ecosystem supporting the economic growth and positive reputation of Kudus Regency as a tourism and sports destination in Central Java.
