I would have given an excellent rating except when we arrived after a 7 hour train ride we were given a smoking room that was dirty and run down. Fortunately I showed them our request for non-smoking and they moved us. These little things matter when navigating a foreign country.

Good hotel in good location.

The only reason I did not give it 5/5 was the dining facilities. They moved the restaurant to the ball room because of renovation. As it was Ramadan, we opted for pre-dawn supper (sahur) instead of breakfast. The first night, we arrived at 04:00, the food was mostly gone. The second day, we arrived at 03:00, which coincided with World Cup Final, the food was not ready. We needed to wait until 04:00 for the buffet to be completely spread.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort

THE WORST, NOT RECOMMENDED

We order 4 non smoking rooms and 2 double bed for each room. Once we got there they give us 4 smoking room and 1 queen bed on each room. If the hotel doesn't have non smoking room available at the first place, why on the website show available. It's a SCAM, we have minor traveling with us and the room still smell cigarette even after they do the treatment. The fourcet on the sink is shaky. The front desk is awfull, don't know what they doing.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I stayed in family room on 8th floor. The room cleanliness was a bit questionable. The floor was uneven and carpet has seen better days (bit sticky too!). Water tank was under maintenance so water could be in off color (green). Asked for laundry bag and inside had whitish residue that I just immediately didn’t dare to use it. Shower mat wasn’t replaced with a new one despite it was wet and just flipped over. Sink was leaking. Trash can was rusted and dinged badly. It’s supposed to be a 4-star hotel but maintenance and cleanliness made me doubtful that it could still be considered a 4-star. A 2.5 is more likely. Oh breakfast too… fried rice was literally rice being fried on a pan without eggs or even meat. They will only add sliced chilis to make it “spicy”. Honestly, this was my first experience staying in a Novotel chain and it made me want to avoid the chain for good.

設備が少々古いが、sinkの詮が閉じない以外は特に問題はなかった。インドネシアの多くのホテルでは、タオルはバスタオルが置いてあるだけで、フェイスタオルやハンドタオルは置いていない。このホテルもそうだった。 インドネシア旅行者はフェイスタオルを持参するよう注意を促した方が良い。
