The hotel is located right in the heart of town, making it super convenient to explore. The rooms are a bit small, especially for guests with big bags, and maneuvering around can be challenging. The service is decent, with some shops and ski equipment hire available. The dining offers Indonesian dishes, but there is room for improvement. Overall, it's a convenient option with a central location.

I had a pleasant stay at the hotel with some positives and negatives. The room size and breakfast with a balcony were great, but the noise from nearby bars was bothersome. The location was convenient, being close to the town center, but the noise factor affected my overall experience.

My stay at the hotel was a pleasant experience overall. The location was convenient, being in the heart of town and close to the main market area. The rooms were well-equipped but a bit cramped for maneuvering with two big bags, despite having a balcony. The service was efficient with available commercial services, including ski equipment hire. However, the dining options were limited with poultry being the main dish. The facilities were adequate for a comfortable stay.
