Pros:

The building is not well prepare become a hotel yet, the material is easily to be broken, not a nice choice
Many fascilitity tend to be diminished caused by the quality of the material
Me & my wive only got one soap, sandal, card key, tooth brush, mean while others hospitality should be pair of them
The material, start from equipment in the bathroom is already broken, shower, hair dryer, the wall
The service, well they avoid to give key card, sandal, etc.... made this hotel worsening
Compared other hotels in the same sweet room? Well I don’t think so
Please make a better solution !

No more stay at Swiss Bell Balikpapan
Pros:

Saat itu check in sekitar jam 6 pm, Minggu 16/12/18. Yang menyebalkan, dalam kondisi lelah setelah penerbangan dari Jkt, diterima petugas front desk sdri. Vientani Indo yang SANGAT TIDAK FRIENDLY alias jutek. Saya pesan room on line ukuran tempat tidur king size. Enak saja, sama Vientani mau dikasih kamar yg twin, alasannya yang King size sudah full. Saya bilang pada dia: "saya pilih hotel ini hari ini karena yang King size masih available. Kalau tidak ada, saya tidak akan pilih hotel ini". Dengan wajahnya yang tetap jutek, dan pura2 sibuk, akhirnya dia bilang, room nya available, without any apologize or smiling. Jadi, kita harus tetap ngotot untuk memperoleh HAK kita. No more to stay at this hotel, even though its pool and sauna is great. I will not recommend to stay this hotel, unless the hotel management may able to train their front desk staff (especially Vientani Indo) to become more friendly to their guest.

Pros:

Siamo arrivati all'una di notte,check in veloce e abbiamo ordinato anche un ottima cena in stanza. Ottima la colazione. Purtroppo non posso giudicare la zona circostante perché siamo ripartiti già la mattina seguente.
