No more stay at Swiss Bell Balikpapan

Saat itu check in sekitar jam 6 pm, Minggu 16/12/18. Yang menyebalkan, dalam kondisi lelah setelah penerbangan dari Jkt, diterima petugas front desk sdri. Vientani Indo yang SANGAT TIDAK FRIENDLY alias jutek. Saya pesan room on line ukuran tempat tidur king size. Enak saja, sama Vientani mau dikasih kamar yg twin, alasannya yang King size sudah full. Saya bilang pada dia: "saya pilih hotel ini hari ini karena yang King size masih available. Kalau tidak ada, saya tidak akan pilih hotel ini". Dengan wajahnya yang tetap jutek, dan pura2 sibuk, akhirnya dia bilang, room nya available, without any apologize or smiling. Jadi, kita harus tetap ngotot untuk memperoleh HAK kita. No more to stay at this hotel, even though its pool and sauna is great. I will not recommend to stay this hotel, unless the hotel management may able to train their front desk staff (especially Vientani Indo) to become more friendly to their guest.

残念至極

キングサイズベッドで予約したのに、シングル２つの部屋をあてがわれた。 追加料金を支払った意味が無くなったに等しい。 また、客室にタオルがなかったので持ってくるように頼んだが、１時間半くらい待たされた。 この間、顔すら洗うことができなかった。３度もフロントに電話する羽目になったが、全く効果はなかった。 人手不足なのか知らないが、チェックインしたのは夕方だし、そもそもタオルが無いのはホテル側の落ち度なのだからすぐ対応して欲しかった。 テレビ脇のチャンネル対応表も無茶苦茶で、全く当てにならない。 ユースホステルでももうちょっとましなサービスができてると思う。 隣のショッピングセンターは、前評判通りほぼ空き家。ドーナツチェーンのJcoと、インドネシア料理のファストフード的な店が１軒だけ営業していた。
