Cleanliness
7
Rooms reported as cleaned daily and generally tidy, but issues noted with cigarette smell seeping into rooms and mosquitos in the restaurant; facility described as clean but aged.

Location
9.1
Consistently praised as ideal/close to the waterfront, beach and sightseeing, very convenient for central location and attractions.

6
Rooms described as comfortable bed and good AC but overall dated: old furniture, small bathrooms/cabins, thin walls (noise) and maintenance issues like lukewarm showers or faulty toilet flush.
Amenities
7.1
Good points include cold AC, stable Wi‑Fi and same‑day laundry; negatives include no mini-fridge/free water, finicky elevator touchscreen and limited in-room facilities.
Value for Money
6.5
Mixed value: reasonable for location and some services (laundry available) but extra costs (cash-only laundry, minimum card charge) and modest breakfast reduce perceived value.
Food and Beverage
5.5
Breakfast described as minimal and lacking items (e.g., eggs); reports of mosquitos in the restaurant and occasional cigarette smell negatively affect F&B experience.
Overall Experience
8.5
Overall a comfortable, conveniently located option with very good staff, suitable for short stays; the hotel's age, limited breakfast and some maintenance/noise issues temper the experience.

Een redelijk hotel op een prima locatie
Pros:

Het ontbijt was redelijk, de mensen zijn aardig. De kamers zijn degelijk. De douche was prima. De locatie is ideaal als je in het centrum wilt zijn.

Cons:

De kamer kan wel een upgrade gebruiken, maar misschien is dit gewoon Ibis. Het ontbijt mistte heel erg de eieren (ik kon ze niet vinden). De badkamer is een soort cabine in de kamer.

Adequate for short stays. Not the most comfortable if you want to stay in.
Pros:

Location is great. Near the beach and lots of food around the area. The wifi was relatively stable and the beds were comfortable with great cleaning staff daily. The AC is also quite cold and the warm water is stable throughout my stay. They also provided laundry for 50k/5 pcs (same day finish) but they only take cash. All transactions with card are charged at minimum IDR 100.000.

Cons:

The property is old and the furniture is quite outdated. The bathroom is quite small with minimal lighting if you are interested in doing your makeup. The lighting is quite dark, mostly small orange warm lighting so it can be quite unsuitable for those wanting to do makeup. There is no mini fridge or free water so if you plan to get some snacks or food, it gets a bit frustrating. The walls are quite thin so you can hear everything happening in the halls and sometimes your neighbors. The spread for breakfast was also quite minimal, I only had breakfast once in my 5 day stay because it wasn't worth getting up in the morning for. I would skip the breakfast next time. The elevator buttons was also a touch screen that didn't work the first time so it takes quite a while to go up and down, can get frustrating when you're in a rush.

Pros:

Location is great.

Cons:

No smoking room still smelt of smoke and air filtering through the room was filled with cigeratte smell.
The rooms can hear all the noise from the hallway.
