Makassar Golden Hotel

We had 3 beautiful bungalows with seaview, nice breakfast, friendly staff, amazing swimming pool.

For a four star hotel the rooms could be in better shape, they need a renovation. Weren't very clean either. Hairdryer didn't work in room 22, shower leaking, dirty and no hot water in room 21 and the main light switch does not work. The AC doesn't turn off.

Could be better.

Hotel plus que vieillissant chambre drap serviettes sales, pas d’eau chaude, tout est moisi dans la sale de bain, le petit déjeuner pas mieux, la cuisine trop salée, et le wifi d’une lenteur qui a fait que l’on ne s’en est pas servi.
Horrible séjour, n’y allez pas... très cher rapport qualité prix...

Well its not the Ritz, its not the cleanest or best looking hotels. But the beds are lovely, the water peessure is perfect and the pool is a great escape from the hot sweaty streets. Breakfast is filling too.
Just don't look to closely at the condition of the building.
I would stay here again for sure.

Vanwege een transfer vlucht via Makassar waar wij 21 uur moesten wachten heb ik dit hotel geboekt. Prima hotel om 1 of 2 dagen te overbruggen. Kan zien dat het een mooi hotel is geweest wat ooit goed lopend was. Helaas veel achterstallig onderhoud. Desalniettemin goed verblijf gehad kamer erg ruim en prettig . Personeel erg vriendelijk en zeer behulpzaam.

The location was quiet good since it's just next to the beach.

Run down place...renovations are overdue, very dirty old looking towels that I wouldn't offer even to my dog!
Helpful stuff though trying very hard to compensate the existing conditions...

lumayan bagus

fasilitas yang masih kurang

We did spent only one night in this Hotel and cancelled further planned nights after the experience.

Reception could not help to organize a tour to surrounding areas/provide contact to organize tours to Toraja, mainly because their limited english knowledge.

Breakfast was very disappointing for us: choice had to be made for either "Continental" or "Indonesian" and was "served" /single pieces. Obviousely their where only a few (6?) people staying at the Hotel at that day, might be that therefore there was no buffet for breakfast. Breakfast served in lobby area/inside/no view to ocean.

Elevator was not working, we had to bring our luggage to higher floor.

Vroeger het beste hotel van Makassar, maar langzaam achteruit gegaan. Ruime kamers, zeer vriendelijke staf, goed eten. Ideale ligging in het centrum, veel restaurants en winkels op loopafstand en pal aan zee.

このホテルは以前は、格調の高い高級ホテルであったが、多少古くはなっているが依然高い格調を保っている。近年多数の高いホテルが新築されてきているが、けばけばしい感じがぬぐえない。海に面した食堂は海からの心地よい風が当たりとても気持ち良い時間が過ごせた。

ONTZETTEND SLECHT GEBRUIK GEMAAKT VAN DE MOGELIJKHEDEN DIE DE LIGGING VAN HET HOTEL HEEFT. BEDIENING IN RESTAURANT IS RONDUIT SLECHT. PERSONEEL SLECHT GEMOTIVEERD. ZWEMBAD MET 3 HOUTEN, IN SLECHTE STAAT VERKERENDE ZONNEBANKEN EEN DRAMA. ÉÉN KRAKKEMIKKIGE LIFT. MINIBAR OP DE KAMER LEEG. KRANEN IN BADKAMER SLOTEN NIET GOED AF. ETC.

It took us 2 hours to check in because they had no record from hotels.com we had a reservation. I spent 25 minutes on the phone costing over $50 for the international call to get hotels.com to notify the hotel we had already paid. The hotel should have made this phone call, not me. Terrible customer service. I think Hotels.com should reimburse me for this hotel stay!

Hotel administrative staff is extremely incompetent.
If you do not want to sit in the lobby for hours and spend $$ on the phone with expedia to solve things then make sure the hotel has received the voucher from expedia before leaving.

The hotel is somewhat gloomy and smells much like cheap mens perfume. The service is good but very slow and you have to remind the staff at the reception unfortunately. The location is good though with nice view of the ocean, especially from the restaurant with access from garden side.

Very friendly, kind staff. They were very helpful with directions and suggestions. Pool in lovely garden. Indo Retro style building and rooms. Handy to Makassar's sighs.

- even after complaining 3 times every day, they did not fix wifi internet in the room.
- Breakfast was included in the booking but it was not clear that it will not be in the room services.

This is a pretty old hotel, nothing fanciful. Not too near to the beach but relatively quiet area.

Hotel conditions are deplorable. Linen and towels were dingy... Overall condition of hotel was very bad. Pool was nice, but that's about it.
