I stayed at Elohim Budget Hotel Sentani for 8 days and was pleasantly surprised by the comfort and quality it offered for the price. The biggest highlight for me was the cleanliness. The bed sheets were always freshly washed, smelled great, and gave a crisp, clean feeling every night.
The hot water in the bathroom worked reliably, which is always a plus, especially for longer stays. The WiFi was okay, and I really appreciated the smart TV in the room, which was already connected to YouTube, Netflix, Prime Video, and more. It was perfect for relaxing after a day out.
While the location is a bit further from the road, I actually found that to be a benefit. The peaceful surroundings, with birds chirping in the background, made the stay very relaxing. It’s a calm environment, ideal for anyone wanting to get away from the noise of busier areas.
Another bonus is the small kitchen available for use, which was handy for quick meals or coffee in the morning.
If you’re budget-conscious, this place is an excellent choice. I’d definitely stay again, and I really hope they consider offering weekly or monthly rates in the future for longer-term guests.
The only area that could use a bit of improvement is the availability of the reception. It’s a more family-run setup, which gives it a personal touch, but it also means there may not always be someone at the front desk. That said, it wasn’t a big issue for me.
Overall, a clean, peaceful, and budget-friendly stay that exceeded my expectations.
