Golden Tulip Pontianak

Great hotel with love music, a simple gym and AMAZING food!

Really good hotel! If you have experienced ‘4 star international luxury/business hotels’ in provincial Indonesian cities you are in for a very pleasant surprise here. All staff I encountered were pleasing and helpful. The general features of the hotel are good, although when there is a band in the large reception level bar it is rather noisy in the rest of the lobby area. Reception efficiently arranged cars for me on several occasions. The reception staff can understand simple English and as a non-Indonesian speaker I had no problem with any requests. The Cinimon restaurant served me a very tasty and interesting nasi goreng with chicken sate. Breakfast was excellent with a wide range of dishes - the fried, the spicy, omelettes, noodle and rice dishes, salads and various pastries including freshly made pancakes and waffles. There could be a wider selection of fruits, just three with only two one morning. However, an impressive breakfast offering. Room was a standard type with a shower in the bathroom. All things worked, shower good. Two large towels but no small ones. Bed comfy. Air conditioning effective. I stayed twice; first had city view and the second an small internal courtyard. The only obtrusive noise was a 4.00am called to prayer but that’s inescapable in many Indonesian cities. I heard this over two nights in the city view room but nothing in the other room I stayed in. I would happily here again.

Sometimes it gets noisy especially when the hotel is hosting functions. The bar outside can be loud too. If you want quiet place, this is not for you. The room door is also not sound-proof. Anyone yelling in the corridor will be very audible in your room.

Overall this hotel is Ok. It’s their laundry service was failed me. I think their way of work and coordination was really really bad.

Kamer is schoon en netjes goede service alleen soms douche water its te koud voor. Mij
