This hotel is superb. The room is so spacious. I booked two superior rooms and requested a connecting door. The staff are very friendly and they clean the room every day. The food tastes good. I would definitely stay in this hotel again on my next visit. It's very recommended.

Check-in was fast, the room was comfortable, but the AC wasn't very strong and the Wi-Fi was problematic. The room was very clean and comfortable for children. Since I was only in transit for one night, I didn't have time to try the pool and other facilities. The breakfast was delicious, and I even named it the best breakfast in Balikpapan, haha.

I've always liked Novotel for its pool and ocean views, and the food is delicious. The only thing I need to pay attention to is the water quality.

Friendly staff, good facilities. Superior rooms don't have smart TV or Google TV. You have to upgrade to a higher room type to get smart TV, and even at that price, a superior room is already quite expensive per night.🙏

For a 5-star hotel and a 1.2++ price, this was far from our expectations. We did take the most standard room :) and it's an old hotel.. but the room interior is outdated, and the most uncomfortable thing is the very strong damp smell (I tried spraying air freshener, but there was still a slight damp smell). The room tends to be dark. The bathroom is even more so. The ambiance is uncomfortable. Haven't had breakfast here, but really hope it will be satisfying and good, because the area usually used for breakfast is said to be under renovation.
