Novotel Balikpapan

Breakfast is Amazing

It was worst stay in my Accor-member history. 1. Room is dirty - Old hotel, proper renovation is needed but most are not in rightful condition. It seems few of their rooms are not used for long time. I stayed through 2 continuous booking, when I assigned to my room on 2nd booking it has drainage issue. I immediately request for room change. Drainage has no issue but I found few ants on the bed table and toilet bowl flushing was very weak. 2. Service - On my check-in, they mentioned to check my welcome drink through ALL app. But I realized there is no banner for my welcome drink redemption. I asked back it is not shown so issue physical voucher. But they made me to wait for 20mins keep looking for managers asking A-Z.... In the end they issue the physical voucher and talking to each other there was internal notice to issue physical voucher which is totally opposite they mentioned in front of me. (But I understand Bahasa...) They didn't even offer me upgrade as Platinum benefit, but which I understand if there is no available room. But.... the hotel is not so crowded whole day, still quite suspicious whether they really have the room type. The Bar receptionist (one guy and one lady bartender) were not polite at all when they receive order for my welcome voucher. I strongly recomment Accor marketing team to review this hotel's management and rather take out Accor name from this hotel. Not proper to hold Accor's name.

For me and my fam, Novotel Balikpapan still shown their best hospitality in Balikpapan. We prefer to stay here than other hotel. Novo has spacious bedroom and various breakfast choice, also an awesome pool. Glad to be back to Novotel Balikpapan to spend the weekend with our loved ones.

Great breakfast selection and good spa

The hotel needs renovation. Rooms were a bit moldy, and AC did not work properly

Location and very comfortable beds

Breakfast was a bit limited for westerners.

We had a wonderful experience at the hotel. The rooms were clean, very comfortable, and the staff was amazing. They went over and beyond to help make our stay enjoyable. If you meet someone with the name like Kadek, Dewi, Iwan, Eka or Jumsia on their badge, be sure that you will get the great service exceptional as well. I highly recommend this hotel for anyone visiting Balikpapan.
