"The staff was excellent. The facility needs a lot of work. This is directly attributable to the ownership. Previous guests are not held accountable for damages they cause. Plumbing needs a complete overhaul…most importantly. Wifi is absolutely terrible. The rest is okay and can wait for the others to get fixed for now. An upgrade on the rooms looks way past due. Again, the staff is excellent and does the best it can with what it has to work with."

"The staff are so friendly, polite and helpful. I had arranged a pick up but my flight was delayed by over an hour. I managed to let them know and when I arrived at the airport the lovely young man from the hotel was there waiting for me. They let me change my room as the first one was near the lift and due to being a light sleeper moved me to a room further away which was perfect. The room was clean and the bed super comfy. If I ever travel back here would definitely stay again 😊"

"ビジネスホテル。デザイナーズ風の建物・作りとスタッフの制服、スタッフの対応・接遇もシンプル・簡素で、笑顔もほとんどありません。なおかつ、アメニティーも、タオルはバスタブも無いのに、バスタオルだけ、ハンドもフェイスも無いので、洗面は、大変です(笑) 連泊するとお願いしても歯ブラシの交換はありません(たまたま、忘れたのかと…) PS,アルコール類は、たいへん高いです"

Top Balikpapan Hotel Reviews

Swiss-Belinn Balikpapan

8/10 Good

"The room was great, clean, spacious and well maintained. However the rest of the hotel was poorly maintained with dirty areas, especially the carpark and hallways."

Novotel Balikpapan

10/10 Excellent

"The check-in and check-out process was very easy and fast without a deposit. The FO gave me a room with a nice view, the sea and the pool. The room was clean, the AC was cold, the shower was very strong. but now they don't provide bar soap, shower cap, toothbrush in the bathroom but when you check in, they will ask for this and if you need it, they will give it to you. everything is ok, only the security in front of the lobby door must be alert if guests bring a lot of luggage. There is no need to ask whether they need help carrying the suitcase or not. I think it's better to just help directly without having to ask. Novotel Balikpapan, January 5, 2026"
