Nice pool and reasonable value for money.
Pros:

The highlight was the lovely big, clean pool and comfortable bed. Also Richard at reception was really helpful and cheerful, including organising a share taxi for our onward travel.
We felt a bit sorry for the staff as there were very few guests in this large hotel, but the staff were all smiley and cheerful.
There was a reasonable range of food at breakfast, Indonesian and fresh fruit and toast. But no pancakes or fried egg/omelettes. It’s buffet style and was a bit lukewarm.
The location suited us because we were returning our scooters to Motor Adventure Bali motorbike rental down the road.

Cons:

The hotel is looking tired, with peeling wallpaper and tatty decor. But the bedroom was clean and comfortable and the shower hot and powerful, so we were happy with the value for money.

Nice hotel for a stop over before heading to Moni
Pros:

Arrived here from an early flight and were given a room straight away. The pool was nice with sunbeds and unlike previous reviews the pool was clean so good for a swim. The restaurant is ok nothing special. The staff were very nice, buses leave from across the road and they asked the driver when he was leaving so we could wait in the hotel.

Nice hotel
Pros:

Nice hotel, a bit old though, but perfect for a night if you are flying from Maumere the next day. The swimming pool is nice. Free transfer to the airport and good buffet breakfast which is appreciated!

Pros:

Hotel location good, not far from city, next to bus/angkot terminal.
They provide free airport shuttle 4-5x a day.

There is an ATM at the entrance.

Also bathrooms are a bit dated, but the rooms itself very spacious. There are some construction works in the lobby, but heard no disturbing noices.

Hotel staff (especially the manager) excellent. Helped us to solve some travel issues that was not exactly his responsibility, but still helped us.

You get what you pay - Rather boaring Hotel
Pros:

Hotel is in the city center and rather a business Hotel. Stayed for one night but was not very satisfied as staff is not very welcoming. Asked for a double bed as I booked one. They didn't want to provide me one and then I waited for 2 hours in the afternoon in the lobby to finally get one. But only managed when I insisted multiple times. Pool is convenient for lap swimming but not fairly nice. Breakfast not to be recommended. There is no bread nor milk and coffee is not drinkable. Wifi almost no connection in the room, only available in the lobby area. Would not stay there anymore. Better take a Hotel along the beach front and charter a Taxi if you want to go to the city center.

Pros:

Booked a room for three people, they gave us a room for two. Even though we mentioned it and showed the bookingconfirmation, they wouldn't help us. Worst service I've ever experienced!
