My stay at this hotel was absolutely perfect! The location is superb, right in the heart of the bustling Balikpapan area with easy access to various attractions. The rooms were top-notch with twin beds, digital password input, and located in the main street, ensuring a convenient and comfortable stay. The service was exceptional, with staff who were extremely nice, welcoming, and always ready to assist. The dining experience was delightful, offering a fair selection of Indonesian food. However, the dining service required staff assistance, which could be a slight inconvenience.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. While the room was small with twin beds, it was incredibly clean and had a security latch for peace of mind. The view facing the sea was a big plus, but the limited space was noticeable. The service was not what I expected as they informed me it was not a buffet breakfast and had a fixed menu selection. However, the staff were helpful with room service, housekeeping, and laundry. The location, though not fantastic, was the best available in Balikpapan and conveniently close to restaurants and shopping. The dining experience was decent with serving staff for the non-buffet main course. The facilities were satisfactory overall.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The location was fantastic, right in the center of Balikpapan with easy access to eateries, nightlife, shopping malls, and the airport. The rooms were somewhat disappointing as they lacked sound-proofing, making noise from neighbors and corridors audible. On the bright side, the room size was adequate for solo travelers, but the absence of security chains or latches was concerning. The service was convenient with essential amenities like coffee, tea, and a safe deposit box, but the staff could improve their friendliness and mannerisms. The dining experience left much to be desired, mainly due to the requirement for staff service and limited options, although the food was tasty.
