Ligt naast een moskee; kan geluidsoverlast veroorzaken waardoor het nooit écht rustig voelt voor westerse gasten.
Room Quality
8.5
Goed verzorgd en lekker luxe qua inrichting, maar kamers zijn minder stil door de nabijheid van de moskee.

Een fijn, luxe hotel met ongekend fijne gastvrijheid en uitmuntende persoonlijke service!
Pros:

Wat hebben wij genoten van onze vijf(!) nachten in Platinum Hotel Balikpapan!! Waar te beginnen... Het luxe, sfeervolle hotel biedt alle comfort, hygiene en voorzieningen die je wenst. Maar de buitengewone, persoonlijke service en gastvrijheid van de medewerkers hebben ons het meest geraakt! In het bijzonder te noemen Aditya heeft alle verwachtingen ver overtroffen wat betreft behulpzaamheid, betrokkenheid en vriendelijkheid! Hij heeft gezorgd voor een onvergetelijk en onbezorgd verblijf voor ons met o.a. bezoeken aan de mooiste attracties in en rondom de stad.
Het hotel beschikt over mooie, luxe kamers met goed slaapcomfort waarin het je aan niets ontbreekt. Het Kantonees restaurant biedt buitengewoon goede gerechten met een grote keuze! Ook het skybar restaurant biedt kwalitatief hoogwaardige gerechten en heeft een magnifiek uitzicht over de stad met dagelijks hele goede live muziek!
Ons verblijf voelde als een warm bad en Aditya en de andere medewerkers hadden ons geen fijner verblijf kunnen bezorgen!

Goed verzorgd, lekker luxe.
Pros:

Ontbijt was zeer uitgebreid, voor ieder wat wils.

Cons:

Je kunt wel een rustige kamer boeken, maar ze zitten naast een moskee. Dus nooit écht rustig als westerling.

Very good
Pros:

Very clean hotel. The rooms can only be reached with the elevator with the room key, which I find very positive.
The staff is very friendly. Will definitely use the hotel again if there is one in town.

Did not worth the price
Pros:

Comfortable room

Cons:

Location was quite far from city attractions. Elevators did not work properly, and there were only 3 small elevators to accommodate guests. Bathroom door inside the bedroom could not be closed properly. In-room service took more than 1 hour, and my food came cold. I ordered soup and it was already cold. Disgusting. Definitely did not worth the price.

This hotel is a very well appointed with an exceptionally helpful staff. It boasts a number of restaurants on site, including a rooftop bar with majestic views of the city. Best breakfast buffet I've ever had.

Stay somewhere else
Pros:

I would not recommend saying here - room key really didn’t work, basin didn’t empty, no atmosphere in the restaurant. We were unlucky and had a connecting room where you could hear every sound from next door and I mean every sound from bathroom noises to every single word spoken.
They agreed to a late check out free of charge (2pm instead of noon) then phoned us at 1pm to say we’d be charged 50% of the room rate for this….
On the plus side - the staff were lovely and the breakfast was good but I would not recommend staying here.
