Estadia razoavel no ‘unico’ ‘hotel’ em Sumba
Pros:

O hotel era bonito, o staff simpatico, o ginasio embora nao tenha utilizado parecia bem equipado.

Cons:

As almofadas do quarto sao gigantes, nao acredito que alguem consiga dormir nelas. A agua da sanita da casa de banho nao parava de correr. A existencia de uma porta entre quartos, mesmo que fechada nao evita que se ouca o barulho do outro quarto ao lado. Pequeno almoco fraco. Staff fala muito pouco inglês, ou quase nada, mas acho que é uma generalidade em toda a ilha de Sumba.

Avoid if at all possible
Cons:

We booked two rooms and one of them was half a construction site when we checked in. The whole wall had been stripped of paint and had been freshly plastered. No comment was made about it until we asked to be moved to a “normal” room.

There are about 3-4 kind and polite team members, including the manager. The rest of them do not speak any English or have any inclination to be helpful. Some of the rudest most incompetent staff I’ve encountered in Indonesia. The two gentlemen taking turns being in charge of the restaurant are particularly rude. The seafood nasi goreng gave me a severe food poisoning for 4-days. The chefs idea of a serving seafood is taking a whole uncleaned jumbo shrimp, head tail legs crust etc, and then frying it in thick batter and serving this ginormous blob next to the rice. The lobby was so filthy that by the 3rd day I couldn’t take it anymore and invited the receptionists to see the dirt on the carpets. They ooh-d and aah-d and said “oh yes, this needs vacuum”. Of course they never actually organised the vacuum until I myself called housekeeping. It’s a hotel playing at being a hotel. Avoid at all costs.

Pros:

The staff were very helpful and pleasant. The facilities outstanding and the restaurant very good. Rooms were clean and comfortable.

Pros:

The hotel is fine, everything is in good order; better suited for business travellers or up market guests, neither of which am I.
Breakfast is really good, great chef in the kitchen- if there’s a downside for me it’s that the environment is a little sterile- it’s more of a Marriott than a guesthouse. And if that’s your thing you’ll love it.
