Hotels With Pool in East Kalimantan, Indonesia

Good stay. Weird that the view is facing a prison. Only downside is the loud prayers at 4.30am which is very disruptive for non-Muslims

The hotel is really great, and the service is incredibly friendly and good. The rooms are also very comfortable and clean. It's close to the government center, about 1.5 km from the palace.

A good location, excellent amenities and service and high standard of cleanliness. Great Value for money. Minor issues include no charging point for the electric kettle at the site of its use, but it can be easily taken to another point. Also there is no low-voltage charger in the toilet. The existing one is a standard 5 ampere point. Overall excellent

Pentacity Hotel Balikpapan offers great value for its price, combining a strategic location, friendly service, and family-friendly facilities. The check-in process was smooth and quick, with professional and friendly staff at the front desk. My room was clean, spacious, and well-equipped with modern amenities — including a minibar, air conditioning, and reliable Wi-Fi. The bed was comfortable. Breakfast buffet offered a variety of Indonesian options, and the taste was good overall. I’d gladly stay here again on my next trip to Balikpapan.

aku pesan kamar no smoking. namun kamar nya ngak ada karena habis... kita tau kamar di rawat 2x agar tidak bauk rokok. namun karena 1 lantai khusus kamar perokok. ac nya bauk rokok.. malam ac saya matikan karena bila ac nya hidup. kamar bauk asap rokok. 2 malam saya tak bisa tidur. karena di berikan kamar smoking. mau pindah kamar no smoking hanya ada tipe atas. dan harus tambah 300rb/malam. makasih.

Location is wonderful. But little dirty and too much noisy. I can hear clearly the outside store music sound until late time and traffic sound also. For the more, The room was not soundproofed at all, so I could hear sounds from the room next door and the hallway very clearly.

Compared to other hotels in Balikpapan, Ibis is very affordable. Nevertheless, this hotel offers good amenities, such as a nice, clean room with a comfortable bed. However, the shower cabin is too small. You can barely move around in it. I also miss a refrigerator. The Indonesian breakfast is excellent. Many Westerners stay in this hotel, but strangely enough, the breakfast is geared exclusively towards Indonesians. For Westerners, there's only cheap white bread with sweeteners like jam and chocolate spread. I miss good-quality wheat bread, rolls, cheese, and sliced meat. Strangely enough, the hotel isn't geared towards Western tourists at all. FO doesn't know where to rent motor cycles and they don't have any information about tourist attractions. They foist overpriced excursions with a guide and car on every tourist. Dear Ibis personnel, please understand that many Western tourists want to rent motor cycles and find their way to excursions via Google Maps. In short, Ibis management, do some research on Western tourists, provide brochures with excursions to FO, and make sure FO has information about motor cycles and car rentals. In summary, Ibis is a fine hotel for a reasonable price, but unfortunately not sufficiently focused on Western tourists.

The facilities are in need of an update. The cleanliness of the restrooms could also be improved.

This is the cleanest, most modern hotel in Samarinda. However, the restaurant's menu is quite limited, service at the lobby cafe is quite slow, and customer service is somewhat lacking. For those who prioritize facilities, this hotel is highly recommended. For those who frequently utilize in-house services, the Mercure Hotel in downtown Samarinda may be a better option.
