Not worth staying long.
Not worth staying long. City isn't terrible pretty and the people constantly stare at you and no one speaks englisch. There is just not much to do in Mataram except maybe the epicentre mall but apart from that I would say rather go to Senggigi, enjoy the beaches there and Plan day trips from there. Mataram is ok for one day but you really don't need to spend much longer there as there is not much do. to and they don't know how do. deal with tourists.

Rather than stay at touristy Senggigi, just base yourself in dynamic Mataram, especially around the university hub (Jln Pendidikan and Jl Pemuda). Nice simple places to eat and groovy cafes at night with live music. Go to the market at Ampenan - where the evening food fare at the waterfront is not at all bad or pack a brunch for a picnic in the graveyard.
We absolutely love the fact that you can get really fresh instantly squeezed tropical juices (you name the fruit, they most probably have it) for from just a were IDR6,000 (USD0.60) almost on every street!
Senggigi is just 30 min by motorbike which you can easily rent for IDR50,000 a day (USD5) and a wee bit longer by car (in case of traffic).
You can also look for all the mod con at the new big mall where you can find everything- from Starbucks to tiramisu cheese.
Good place to get travel options to Sumbawa too.

AS we only stayed one night and were passing through we didn't get much chance to discover Mataram as we were on the way to Gili Trawangan the next morning.
Gili Trawangan is in my opinion only good for young people under the age of 30 after that its too busy and too noisy !!

This is a nice city with some modern shopping malls and good parks. Taman Narmada is beautiful and you can swim there. There is not too much traffic so it's easy to get around. The best mall we visited was Epicentrum Mall - it has a great soft play area for kids.

Mataram Mall was the first mall (?) in Mataram.
Mataram Mall was the first mall (?) in Mataram. Since the opening of Lombok Epicentrum Mall (in Mataram) and Lombok City Centre (in Sweta (?) it has received some serious competition.
Lombok Epicentrum Mall is basically good for culinary trip, though I wouldn't recommend it for tourists, as the foods are mostly franchise foods, and not local specialities.
There are some must-go places to eat in Mataram.
In Ampenan:
1. Lombok local soto - Soto Sicang; from 7.00 - 10.00 morning. It is located near the Manalagi Restaurant in Ampenan (on the left hand side, if you're coming from Mataram area).
2. Manalagi's Pangsit Mie is an old time favorite in Ampenan Kota Tua area.
3. Chinese restaurant 369 - still located within Ampenan Kota Tua
Cakranegara :
1. Selaparang - Old time local people's favorite. The meatball (bakso?) is known as the most authentic ones (without MSG and anything else)
2. Rumah Makan Sederhana - their sate kambing is very delicious!
3. Rumah Makan Taliwang - now..there are many rumah makan taliwang. But this one is located on A. A. Gde Ngurah, just beside the entrance of the Cakra market. It is generally known as the first Taliwang restaurant open in the city. The chicken is small (ayam kampong) - one person could eat the whole chicken, but it is very delicious.
“Very friendly staffs and are really helpful, facilities are top notch for the price I paid ( compared to other cheaper hotels in Mataram) , breakfast are really good.
We enjoyed our 3 days visits there.”
