Grand Tjokro Hotel Balikpapan

Great stay overall. Cleanliness, restaurant, staffs are great but one thing this hotel lacks is the WiFi connectivity. WiFi sometimes connects well and sometimes disconnects. For people who want to work with laptop, it could get frustrating at a time.

Most disgusting, filthiest hotel i have ever stayed in. As soon as you step into the lifts, you can feel the grime. Things didn’t get better in the room. This place is in no way set ip for Western tourists. No alcohol was permitted, the food is rubbish, and the view out our window was the runway of the airport across the road. As there was no double glazing, we heard the planes land & take off from 5am -10pm. Do yourself a favour, stay elsewhere.

It was a one night layover between flights but I booked the hotel because it is close to the airport and advertised room service from an advertised restaurant and bar. After travelling for most of the day I was looking forward to a nice dinner and a glass of wine, but there was no bar as noted in the listing. The front desk was also not able to provide converter plug to accommodate my electrical devices, decovered there were no towels in my room after I had already showered, and at midnight, there was a knocking on my door enough to wake me up, when I opened the door the gentleman handed me a towel. I was so over this hotel by that point I just took it and closed the door and went back to bed to sleep before my flight the next morning. Really felt the room was not cleaned before I got there, bedding seemed okay but the carpet was not vacuumed and the bathroom counter was not cleaned. These were just the really obvious things.

Sehr schönes Hotel mit perfektem Service.
