Ik had de suite, maar de prijs kwaliteit was niet goed.

Dirty and tricky
Pros:

The hotel is strategically located in the city of balikpapan

Cons:

The hotel is dirty, need maintenance in the room and building.
The staff is friendly, but they deliberately put us in the room with NO view, eventhough the occupancy is low, and many rooms are available.

Dissapointing, not worth for the money spent
Pros:

I only like HOTEL BREAKFAST. Room price including the breakfast. Hotel offered variety of different foods that vary each day. All the staff were helpful dan friendly. I rented a car and they provide free parking.

Cons:

When I made a booking I mentioned I need room with TWIN BED, but assigned room was deluxe queen size bed. They did not see the message and don't bother to check the messaged. No point of communicating UNLESS maybe call hotel directly. Hotel location was great, but the facilities were poor. Room had water heater, but no hot water came out. Towel that supposed to be WHITE in colour became yellowish. NO hand towel. NO HAIR DRYER. When I requested extra towel, extra towel MUST PAY. Room provide mini dry kitchen but NO UTENSILs. Swimming pool look nice, but the water a little murky and always had dead insect floating especially at the kids pool. There were many leaves inside the swimming pool, as you swim occasionally the leaves touched our body that startled us. In few places, floor uneven, so watch the steps while walking. If only they could maintain the facilities well... with the good service and great location that they have now, it would be perfect and it can be one of the most favorite hotel in BALIKPAPAN.

Really wanted to give 10 but....
Pros:

This hotel has a strategic location, my sister stayed here back in 2017 and was quite impressed by this property? however, this time we can see that the hotel has been under maintained, you can see the furniture in the room are worn out and lack of cleanliness e.g dust all over the lamp case and coffee table, yellow stained toilet seat, stained on the linen and the curtain. This hotel has lots of potential however needs lots of improvement on the Housekeeping side. I worked in the hotel myself, in my opinion the listed price isn't match the condition of the room.
The few things that saved this hotel from my 1 star review are the breakfast (lots of variety and good taste), the pillow (firm and comfy) and the attentive staff. You also need to pay attention on the sofa, due to the material of the sofa and probably lack of air circulation it might invested with either bugs or mites, I got itch when I sit on the sofa and when I reported to the Front Office they stated they will do treatment however when the staff came I realized that the treatment is to cover the sofa with new linen not some kind of spray or hot steam.
Kindly improve your maintenance and housekeeping procedure.
