It's really worth it in my personal opinion, the swimming pool, although not big, is clean, the room is nice and clean, and the staff are friendly, especially the receptionist, I don't know the name of the receptionist who was on duty at 2 pm on September 5, 2025, the receptionist is very friendly. I didn't have time to see her name. But thank you. I think I will return to Novotel again for my next vacation, hehe.

It would be better if hygienic, sealed bottled drinking water were provided in the room, rather than guests having to get their own water from the dispenser provided outside the hotel room and which is closed.

Dear Ms. Mawar H. A., Thank you for choosing Novotel for your business trip and for your very constructive feedback. We understand your expectations regarding the provision of hygienic and convenient drinking water. Currently, our hotel provides drinking water through dispensers as part of our commitment to reducing the use of single-use plastic packaging and supporting environmental sustainability programs. However, we also recognize the importance of comfort and safety for every guest. We will share your feedback with the relevant team for further evaluation, including the possibility of providing drinking water in glass bottles or eco-friendly packaging in the room. Thank you for your concern and support of our sustainability initiatives. We hope to welcome you back with an even better experience in the future. Best regards, Anom Purboyanto

Novotel has been one of the choice if i am on vacation in Balikpapan. The bed was huge, able to accomodate my wife and I and also my 11 year old daughter. room and bathroom is clean. the only minus point from me is the check in time which at 15:00. Other hotel usually can accomodate ar 14:00. Overall score from me is 4 out of 5. Ganbatte Novotel Balikpapan!!

The hotel looks old. AC in our initial room did not work. Room stayed hot all night. Good that they moved us to another room tye next morning. Taking bath on the bathtube is a disaster. Water from the walls flow down to the floor. Wet floor. Breakfast was okay. Almost same food everyday (we stayed 3 nights). Water in indoor pool is very cold. Unable to swim especially if you go there with kids. Overall, we will not stay here again.
