I'm also looking at staying in Bogor later this year. The Novotel looks really nice, but is also pretty pricey. A couple of local hotels that look like they might be 2-3 star and reasonably priced are the Pangrango 1, 2 and 3. Do a google search and you'll find them. They all look to be fairly close to the Botanical Gardens and the Presedential Palace if thats the type of thing you are interested in.
If you do end up in Bogor and can arrange transport, get up to Puncak and check out the tea plantations. Just as nice a scene as when you visit rice paddies in Bali.
I haven't been to Bandung in many years and all I can remember is "jeans street" is great for shopping!
There's a forumite on here, Gadisdesa who can probably go into more detail about what West Java has to offer.
Enjoy your holiday!!
