"This was the nicest stay in Pangkalan Bun while waiting for my boat trip to Tanjung Puting park. The hotel was very responsive when there were problems."
"Hotel posizionato vicino all'aeroporto, in una zona che non offre molto, caotica e vicina ad un centro commerciale immenso raggiungibile a piedi. Odore di chiuso ( non ci sono finestre apribili) e qualche traccia di umidità proveniente dal bagno. Pulizia sufficiente, materassi e cuscini molto comodi. Staff cordiale"
"Great location in Ketapang. Plenty of restaurants nearby and shopping. Small grocery store next door and a mini mart few doors down from that.
Hotel has great bikes for rent if you are brave enough to get out on that road. ;0)"

"Proses check in out mudah dan cepat tanpa Deposite. Staff ramah. Kamar bersih, ac dingin ,shower kencang. Untuk minuman reffil sendiri dan di sediakan dispenser di tiap lorong. Likasi berada di pusat kota. Dekat dengan kuliner dan pusat perbelanjaan. Jika mau renang bisa ke sebelah di hotel novotel. Mantap deh!! "
"It's reality clean,friendly staff with smile and delicious buffet breakfast. We would like big thank you to Ibnu and Febi with their excellent services during out stay. We will come back to stay Four points by Sheraton "
"The check-in and check-out process was very easy and fast without a deposit. The FO gave me a room with a nice view, the sea and the pool. The room was clean, the AC was cold, the shower was very strong. but now they don't provide bar soap, shower cap, toothbrush in the bathroom but when you check in, they will ask for this and if you need it, they will give it to you. everything is ok, only the security in front of the lobby door must be alert if guests bring a lot of luggage. There is no need to ask whether they need help carrying the suitcase or not. I think it's better to just help directly without having to ask.
