4 Stars Hotels in North Sulawesi, Indonesia

The Aryaduta Manado hotel, once a beacon of hospitality, seems to have dimmed over the years. The potential of this establishment is undeniable, but it's evident that its best days are in the rearview mirror. A noticeable lack of meticulous care on the premises is a disappointment. The grounds aren't kept with the pristine attention one might expect from a hotel of its reputation. A major letdown is the swimming pool. The water, instead of being crystal clear, is murky, raising concerns about cleanliness and maintenance. This aspect certainly detracts from the overall experience, especially for guests looking forward to a refreshing swim. On a brighter note, the rooms themselves are satisfactory. The air conditioning works efficiently, which is a relief in the tropical climate of Manado. It's a basic comfort, but in this case, it's done right. The hotel's breakfast buffet offers a wide selection, which initially seems promising. However, the taste of the dishes fails to live up to their visual appeal. Most of the items lack distinct flavors, leaving a rather bland experience on the palate. A significant issue we encountered was with the hotel's taxi service. Upon requesting a Kijang taxi to Gorontalo, we were taken aback by the pricing. The hotel charged us an additional 50% commission on the taxi fare, which felt exorbitant and left a sour note on our overall experience. In conclusion, while Aryaduta Manado has the framework to be a top-tier hotel, it falls short in several areas. The lack of cleanliness in communal areas, underwhelming food, and overpriced services are aspects that urgently need attention. For now, it stands as a reminder of faded glory, needing a rejuvenation to return to its former prestige.

I think this hotel is the best hotel in Manado. But the food(bolonaise spaghetti) was too salty. I couldn't eat it. But the hotel is connected with big shopping mall, it's convenient.

Parking trash cans are very dirty Swimming pool access is poorly maintained and difficult to find towels, you have to call first Overall, a good hotel and very good service

We had a wonderful week at Grand Luley. Very kind staff. Lovely people. Rooms need renovation but everything was working and it was clean. Nice walk to the jetty. Restaurant was really good but we had to wait before being served. Great balinese massage at spa. We had a very nice captain for boat trip to Bunaken or Siladen. Not from grand Luley. Much cheaper. Grand Luley is in a remote area but we had a wonderful week !

I think that this hotel has good facilities enough compare to another neighbourhood hotels and it completed by wider range of golf yard and so on.. more than 12 holes, I could spend more than half daycation to enjoy the course or heavy play with business relatives, I do believe that i will win too,, haha.... super breakfast and infinity pool, less clean for some rooms, overall value for money in the heart of Manado busy city...

The food in this hotel are great ! Start from the room we got room facing totl the sea, so we can enjoy the sunset 🥰, than for the food are great aswell, lot of choice with local food and bread , fruit. And for The staff so friendly aswell.

We stayed at the Swiss Belhotel in Manado a few years ago and it was so good we decided to stay there again in May / June 2023. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, the facilities are very clean and there’s a nice pool area which is usually very quiet. The breakfast has a good choice and the room service is really good. The thing that makes it special here are the staff they are really attentive and happy to help. We needed to renew our Visas at Immigration and it’s not the easiest process but the reception manager Yonathan and Marvin drove us to the office and literally did everything for us from providing the sponsorship letter and downloading the forms and help us complete the process. Can’t thank Swiss Belhotel in Manado enough for a lovely stay and for all your help your staff are amazing. Thank you Fiona & Darren

Having stayed at most of the local hotels I can say that one is in the best condition. I liked the early check-in without a lot of fuss.

I can’t deal with these foreigners. Looking at the photos, I always thought it was a homestay, but I didn’t expect it to be a high-end hotel, and it is a relatively new four-star hotel in the local area. Manado stayed in the most satisfied one of the three hotels, which is much better than the Sheraton. Facilities: The hotel is very new, and the facilities are also very new. There is a usb port at the head of the bed, the socket does not need an adapter, and a hair dryer is missing. Environment: The hotel is surrounded by the old city. Take a taxi to the beach for two or three kilometers, and the hotel can also see the sea. Service: The service is very good, because I had an early flight the next day, I told the front desk in advance to bring bread.

We had 2 wonderful weeks staying at New NDC. This place was considered our first home in Manado under the previous management as we had been coming every year since 1997. As this was a diving trip, we had more luggage than normal and they provided more low tables to place the luggage on. The lights in the bathroom and the walk-in closet were dim and it turn out it was faulty and replaced on the same day. The room was big with a king sized bed, the bathroom had bathtub as well as shower cubicle. Service staff was friendly and hospitable. We were treated as family. As a 4 star hotel, it puts out 5 star meals. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves everyday! Looking forward to return here and seeing everyone again. Many thanks for hosting us.!! 😘😘

The location is far from downtown, but generally not bad. Breakfast is in short supply. The location is far from downtown, but generally not bad. Breakfast is in short supply.

I stay in this hotel for a week, I absolutely amaze with the services they provide to me from the security that help us with our luggage’s, front desk who help us checking in, Rio who show us our room and all the staff who help us on our stay. On our second day of our stay in the hotel my sister lost her car key, she throw the keys together with the rubbish from the car in front of the hotel the night before and just remembered about it the next morning. So many staff help us looking after the key even it’s not their fault. Thanks to Eddy from housekeeping, Rio from front desk who keeps looking for the key. The food is very nice, the “pisang goroho and rica roa” is must do order, I also like one of their mocktail with lychee. They have so many choices for breakfast as well, I always looking forward to have my breakfast in the mornings. The room is also spacious plus they have balcony. Their cleaning service also amazing, staff who clean my room also doing a good job. The waitress from the restaurant also really helpful and really humble, staff name “chika, fero” who always smile and helpful. Ido who is also very helpful. Thank you all for your help and services, I will definitely coming back.

This hotel have beautiful beach. White sand, coconut trees and clean beach is perfect combination. No animal on the beach. You can see island from the beach. You can enjoy sunset from here. Take photos in here can satisfied. The children can playing sand or swing.

Great! The room is on the beach, the most comfortable is to lie in the pavilion and blow the sea breeze! Packed for three meals, breakfast is rare but enough to eat, lunch and dinner are a set meal, not heavy every day, but really not good ... but does not affect my love for this hotel! Because the spa is cheap and comfortable! ! Snorkeling here is only $10! ! Unlike a boatman, this is a private small group of the hotel. Generally two or three people are absolutely relaxed! The location of snorkeling is different every day. The little black coach is very cute and also helps you take pictures. It’s a pity to miss 100 dollars. Unfortunately, it’s too short! Sitting in the travel agency charter flight, if you can fly for three more days, it will be perfect! Booking the hotel's pick-up and drop-off, the airport is a little far away from the hotel for about an hour and a fifteen-minute boat. There are more than a thousand RMB. Some are very expensive, others are great, the waiters are very warm and friendly, and the hotel is very few. The whole beach is yours! The sunset is also super beautiful, too love here~~~ I have to go again! ! !
