Rylich Panorama Hotel

The room was clean! The buffet breakfast was reasonably decent. THAT’S IT!!! I cannot think of anything else to like about this place & that is giving it something positive for what was overall an awful stay!

Everything about the place was “shabby!” It looks like it will be awesome in the photos on the reservation websites….BUT….that is where the awesomeness stops! I was talked to like I was unwelcome on the reception desk when I got there very early morning after having arranged an early check-in at extra expense prior to getting to the hotel. Once I had gotten that bit sorted out, having also paid extra for an airport transfer that I later found out is extortionately over the local going rate, when arranged by the hotel (& they said is their policy), I went to the room….TV didn’t work, Air-Con controller didn’t work, Kettle was cracked & broken & the Safe didn’t work for locking & unlocking. They FINALLY got all of this stuff sorted out 1.5 hours later. The towels were like sandpaper & the room is dimly lit for the lighting. I dropped something small on the floor & had to use a flashlight to find it because it was too dark at low level. No point having a room with a view. There is nothing to see & kind of a facade that way anyway. The pool area & roof terrace look nice in the website photos, but in a very poorly kept condition & lots of broken items up there when you get to them. Place massively overcrowded & uncomfortable with too many convention people blocking off all amenities. I actually cancelled my booking for a return journey within two hours of being in the hotel & booked a different one for about US$20 more, which I am sure will be well worth the bit extra for peace of mind, nice facilities & comfort. I would have changed hotels immediately if I was not losing out on so much money for a one night layover in Sorong. VERY disappointed with this hotel & was a dint in my otherwise amazing vacation. WORST I have ever stayed in, in Indonesia from many visits & stays on the many islands over the years, some MUCH cheaper for MUCH nicer. This one was a complete dud for me. You win some, you lose some I suppose!

The bed was very comfortable and the room was clean, modern and well presented with air con. The bathroom in particular was really nice and we enjoyed the shower! The staff were lovely and welcoming and there was lots of facilities nearby eg laundrette, food, cafes, money changer. The buffet breakfast was also great!

There is no view even if you get a window. It’s quite far from the port or airport and central sorong but you can easily get a grab or Gojek for not much money.
