Zest Ambon by Swiss-Belhotel International

A Solid Stay with Friendly Staff, though Some Room for Improvement. We stayed at this hotel almost for a month and moved between several different rooms. Overall, it was a pleasant experience, though there were a few ups and downs! The rooms were 15 square meters, a bit tight, but perfectly adequate if you just need a place to sleep. While the hotel is quite new, we did notice a sharp, musty smell (like mold) in the rooms we stayed in. The bed was a little firm for my personal taste, but it was clean. Unfortunately, the pillows were very high and had an unpleasant odor. On the bright side, the bathroom was modern and functional! The shower worked great with plenty of hot water, and we were provided with fresh towels, soap, and even a toothbrush every day. The on-site restaurant serves good food. Breakfast is a standard Indonesian spread, featuring: • Steamed rice and fried rice • Noodles • Chicken or fish dishes • Soup • Toast, coffee, and tea The absolute highlight was the staff! Everyone was incredibly friendly and professional throughout our entire stay. A decent choice if you value great service and a modern bathroom, but keep in mind the room size and the ventilation issues.
