Customer review rating 3.0/5

Fandy F. Business - 07/10/2021 Confirmed reviews ALL

Hello, a good day for you Last week, I was visiting Novotel Balikpapan for a business trip. My company book this hotel via "Maxima" due to keeping us zero contact with other people during our trip in order to reduce potential infection by Covid-19 because we have to visit our site every day. so we are going to this hotel via Maxima is not for self-isolation but only to reduce the probability to get infected. This is my first time visiting Novotel Balikpapan. I am so happy because they give me an ocean view room which is good. All the food and room amenities are good. Previously I ever visited Novotel in Semarang for a holiday which also gives good hospitality also. Unfortunately, we feel a little bit inconvenience with hotel hospitality. Every day in the afternoon after we visit our company site when we back to the hotel we have to wait outside of the lobby event shouting from the outside to notify the receptions to get in because the door was locked by a "tie" and no one standby to open the door for us because we going there not for "self-isolation" but to take a safe trip. I thought we already tell the officer about the concept of our trip however we have to meet this inconvenience every day and even they asked us if we are new guest want to check-in. on the last day when we want to check out, we have to wait in a separate place with the regular guest. I totally understand maybe because it is covid preventive regulation but the place we got is not quite proper and not comfortable. we got a regular chair with the floor covered with plastic and it's not well placed. like we sit in the public area waiting room. even we already tell the officer we are vaccinated twice and negative in PCR test on 29 September 2021 but we feel like an infected person at that moment. So, hopefully, there will be a better concept of hospitality which separate guests who like us (negative) and need a place to stay in safe and the guest who are truly infected that need self-isolation. Thank you in advance Warm regards, Fandy

Teddy Solo - 29/09/2021 Confirmed reviews ALL

This was my first experience staying at Novotel brand and I kinda expected it to be a smooth and satisfying experience, but it was not. The check in process was not immediate, had to wait around five minutes to be served (didn’t mind though, there was only one receptionist at the time and they were busy) but I was really glad my request for late checkout was granted even only for 3 PM due to the availability (even though I was pretty sure the hotel was quite vacant the next day). The room was nice, considering the hotel was almost 20 years old and had a renovation few years ago. The bed was fluffy and provided a good sleep. The TV? Really need to be discarded I could barely watch anything. The water jug should be replaced with a newer one, it looked old with the plastic tearing here and there. Bathroom was okay, all functioning properly. No bath mat available and I had to request it 3 times until it was delivered to my room. The breakfast was really standard. I stayed at ibis the day earlier and the breakfast here and there was only slightly different in terms of quality. Was it delicious? Yes. Was it memorable? No. The fact that the most memorable thing about my breakfast was my orange should be concerning. I kinda expected to have a great breakfast but sadly I didn’t get it but honestly with the pandemic hitting this industry, it was understandable that some things need to be adjusted in order to survive. Well, will I come back to this hotel for future stay? Probably. But this hotel won’t come on the top of my head when it comes to picking hotel for stay in Balikpapan.

The Hotel basically so-so, do not have any amaze service. There are some lacks of services actually, such; 1- Room still not ready even has Check-in at 13:00 2- The restaurant really long to serve the food and the staff is not familiar with Accor Plus transactions 3- Taxi is not available at the hotel, we must wait 20 minutes. It could be issue if guest needs rush time to Airport. The motivate I choose the hotel due to listed as Accor member, otherwise I prefer to choose Jatra Hotel.

Eka D. M. N. Couples - 03/09/2021 Confirmed reviews ALL

31st August 2021 - 1st September 2021. It was my third time stay at Novotel Balikpapan. Reservation via WhatsApp by the Hotel Agent. Honestly it wasn't great experience also not too bad compared to my first and second time staycation at Novotel Balikpapan. There are some reasons, - Taking a bit longer time to check in while doing reservation by walking in (via WhatsApp) than I booked via travel apps. - Taking long time to complete my request. I called at 5 pm to get another towel. Unfortunately till 8 pm I still hadn't received it yet. Till I had to call receptionist again to ask towel. - Hot water isn't available. I asked time about limited time about usage of hot water. It's said unlimited but... No hot water for having shower (That's sad). I don't know why and what happened. Is there difference of choices room type...so I couldn't get facilities how it should ?? I hope no. My first and second experiences stay at Novotel I chose high room type. So let's say I got everything in perfect. But really... the last one wasn't really nice staycation. I just hope next time I choose to stay there again..., everything will be just perfect as usual no matter what kind of type room is chosen. Overall is okay to stay at Novotel. Thank You.

This is my 3rd times stay at Novotel Balikpapan for quarantine before mobilization to offshore. The staffs were excellent and took care from my arrival to check-out. The hotel had done internal re-arrangement layout (not so good view) but good service on top of that. I hope Novotel can do better lay-out and more artistically.

All-accor M. Couples - 15/06/2021 Confirmed reviews ALL

Not comfortable as the air conditioning was not cold despite the technician repaired it. Its very troublesome to keep calling the receptionist repeatedly as it takes away to peace and privacy, not to mentioned call are sometime goes unattended probably due to understaffed. The service were also very substandard this time as I see new faces and probably need more training Disappointing from all accor m.'s view. I addition, I am having problem to get prompt response from all accor membership office on updates of my account. Hope someone who is reading will be in touch soon to rectify.

I stayed in the hotel for 10 days and can I just the service was excellent, the very tasty and very well presented, which in these strange COVID is a credit to the hotel staff and their manager team. From ordering my food on the app to the guys on the floors doing the face to face (all be it behind the safety mask) you could tell there was a smile there. Great stay would love to visit the hotel and area again when it is a more free and easy time to enjoy the friendly hotels atmosphere. Great job keep it up. Terima kasih

Excellent service. Great ecological awareness (instead of plastic bottles, you get a refillable glass flask to use with water coolers in the hallway). I'd give it 5 stars if it had more consistent wifi.
