Aston Banyuwangi Hotel & Conference Center
The big, easy-to-find city hotel: every driver in Banyuwangi knows the Aston, which removes the one variable you don't want at half past midnight. Full-size hotel services, proper beds, and quick access to the road that climbs toward the Paltuding gate — logistics first, and it shows.
Best for: First and last nights around the ferry, train or flight — and anyone who wants city comforts before the midnight start.

Good to know
- Ijen tours from Banyuwangi pick you up around midnight–00:30 for the gate opening at Paltuding (02:00 in normal conditions); the drive up takes about 1–1.5 hours. Warn reception about the night departure — hotels here deal with volcano schedules all the time.
- Arriving from Bali: the Gilimanuk–Ketapang ferry runs around the clock and the crossing takes about 45–60 minutes door to door. Mind the time zones — Java is one hour behind Bali — and double-check your pickup time against it.
- Two documents are needed for the crater: the park e-ticket (online only, organized tours normally include it) and a medical certificate, which clinics in Banyuwangi can usually issue the same day — many tours help arrange it. Sort both before the night of the trek.
