They call me Papa, after many stays they are Family now.. in the restaurant they order my food, papa cannot have this..not good for you..the girls are my Daughters now so i go buy chocolate bars for them for taking care of me.. the rooms are all spacious, large comfortable bed, couch, big screen tv, many channels, the bathroom is big enough to move around in comfortably.. there is kitchenette in the room, Large refrigerator, not mini fridge.. the pool is large, clean and great fun… the cake shop has great deserts..ENAK !!! the guys at parking entrance are very nice and friendly, finally trained them…call me Tom..not sir.. the front desk staff is great.. very polite, Efficient and friendly.. Housekeeping staff does a great job also.

the Woman who runs the hotel, Mami Vika is very pleasant and loved by her staff. for me when i am in Balikpapan this is literally Home !

thanks to every single person there for all the love..🙏🙏

Really wanted to give 10 but....

This hotel has a strategic location, my sister stayed here back in 2017 and was quite impressed by this property? however, this time we can see that the hotel has been under maintained, you can see the furniture in the room are worn out and lack of cleanliness e.g dust all over the lamp case and coffee table, yellow stained toilet seat, stained on the linen and the curtain. This hotel has lots of potential however needs lots of improvement on the Housekeeping side. I worked in the hotel myself, in my opinion the listed price isn't match the condition of the room.
The few things that saved this hotel from my 1 star review are the breakfast (lots of variety and good taste), the pillow (firm and comfy) and the attentive staff. You also need to pay attention on the sofa, due to the material of the sofa and probably lack of air circulation it might invested with either bugs or mites, I got itch when I sit on the sofa and when I reported to the Front Office they stated they will do treatment however when the staff came I realized that the treatment is to cover the sofa with new linen not some kind of spray or hot steam.
Kindly improve your maintenance and housekeeping procedure.

Highly recommended!

The hotel is actually blocks of apartments so the rooms are really spacious, feels more like studios really.
Situated just by the sea coast, I was able to enjoy the sea breeze while doing my work on my laptop in the afternoon into the evening.
Breakfast was slightly lacklustre but made up for by the location and scenery.

Dirty bathroom,

Checked in, usual info about breakfast etc not given, had to ask for assistance with bag. Room needs attention, bathroom filthy, pee stains all over toilet, bathroom stuck of urine, had to get them to come and disinfect bathroom. ( Still stunk ) curtains are wrong size for Window. No water in room but a empty jug so you have to go get it yourself. Didn't fancy menu so ordered a delivery, security would not let him near hotel. On check out, 2 members of staff just watched me struggle down the stairs with three bags, no help what so ever. Room was on 16th floor but still very noisy from traffic. Would not stay there again

Almost great.!!

Clean, Nice location, has a nice safe and bathroom. Has an elevator and LCD TV. Comfortable bed, great swimming pool. Excellent complimentary breakfast. The toilet kept running all night they needed to fix it. The AC worked great. The safe was large enough for my laptop. They do attract many children / families and those children fill the pool many hours and run around in the hallways, it is a little hard to get a good night sleep with all the noise.

Nice sea view

The Hotel is about 30 minutes Airport, rather smooth traffic compare with other Big cities of Indonesia. The Hotel is near a mosque therefore you will experience the praying music for the evening, till 9pm+. The city closes very early like 7pm ( not in the shopping malls ) and you will not able to find local foods on the street. The Spa and Massage service is closed till next year and fitness centre will not provide towel, you need to bring your own. The room that I was staying seem clean but the chair at the dining table is bugged and I have to overlay with towel. But I have to say the sea view from the Hotel is good and is nice to have the sea breeze in the morning.

Not clean and run down

Due to a situation with our flight, we had to stay in Bakipapikan. It is not a touristy town, but the hotel was on the water. Great we could relax here for a few days since our original plan did not go accordingly. It was very hard to determine which hotels were nice in Balipapikan. This hotel got 3.5 stars, but it looked like we could just relax on the beach. First of all no beach. The hotel just overlooks the ocean. The pool closes so early at 6:00. Our hotel safe did not have a battery in it, but that didn't mater because the door didn't lock! We pre-paid for three days, but ended up leaving two days early. Oh and this place was so dirty! Mold all over the bathroom, ants crawling all over the floor and the walls were dirty. All of the amenities were really run down too. I was very dissapointed with hotels.com for having this hotel listed on their website.

Balikpapan is just a very small city with a lot of industries and commercial running on, so for holidays are not so suitable especially I'm bringing along my whole family, but lucky the hotel have everything so I can have a very good rest and be close to my wife and kids, love it very much. Bt alcohol are quit difficult to buy around the hotel, and hotel charge very expensive....buy overall I felt alright with my stay....

We had specifically requested a non-smoking room and were told that they had none available. They later offered to give the room an \"ozone\" treatment that of course had no affect. We were moved the next day to a non-smoking room. However, our friends that stayed here and had the same problem. They were moved from one smoking room to another smoking room. The management here is lacking at best. I highly recommend going somewhere else.

Nice place

I booked one night for business travel and definitely wished I had stayed another. Lovely pool area overlooking the ocean and nice breakfast. Rooms were nice but noticed very small things that you see in very nice but clearly foreign/developing country hotels like clearly a brand new table but with a chip that must have happened in installation or the shower pressure being a bit low, but I don't care about that small stuff if the overall experience was comfortable, which this was.

Transit di Aston Balikpapan

Front desk service sangat ramah, layanan cepat dan mendapatkan petunjuk yang sangat jelas, jalan menuju kamar terkesan tidak menarik, lift perlu di renovasi, se tiba di kamar terkesan bau lembab dan bahkan kasur dan bantal masih tercium bau keringat. Amenity cukup lengkap, kamar mandi dan shower nyaman, televisi dan pendingin ruangan menjadikan kesan kurang menarik pada suasana kamar meski kamar sangat cocok untuk kunjungan liburan keluarga

Je krijgt hier veel vierkante meters voor je geld. Een aparte zitruimte en eetruimte, zodat je geen kruimels oo bed krijgt als je in het hotel wilt eten. Ze hebben een prachtig zwembad, dat op zee uitkijkt, en waar je degelijk baandjes kan trekken. In de ochtend kan het er wel erg druk zijn. Het hotel heeft enorm veek kamers en wordt goed bezocht, waardoor het bij de receptie en bij de lift wel eens lang wachten kan zijn. Onderhoud loopt hier en daar wat achter, maar het blijft een favoriet.

Teleurstellend

De ontvangst was niet prettig; de bugscontrol kwam juist met een mondkapje op en gifspuit uit mijn kamer, en ik moest daar zonder bescherming naar binnen? Dacht het niet! Na veel gedoe over roken/niet roken een andere suite gekregen, maar hier liepen de mieren over de grond. Kortom de 100 euro die ik hiervoor heb betaald was weggegooid geld. Daar zou je 5 sterren topklasse voor mogen verwachten maar zo niet bij het Aston

空港からも近く、ホテルの部屋は広く清潔で快適だったけれど、朝5時前後の外からお祈りの声がうるさく、工事のためか停電が数回あり、また2つあるエレベーターも1つが故障で、停電の影響か数時間だけ断水もあり、改善を求めたい。

写真と全然違いました・・・

私が宿泊したタイプはデラックスタイプだったのですが、部屋はとても広かったです。ホテルと言うより賃貸マンションです。建物が２棟並んで建っていて、正面中央に階段が５段ほど設けられていて、階段をあがるとサービスフロントがあります。正面右の棟がホテル棟で、左棟は居住者専用棟（residence）ですが、出入りが一緒なので、結構人の出入りが多いです。エクスペディアで予約して３階（フロントが２階）の部屋へ通されました。建物は写真で見るよりかなり老朽化？しており、通路やエレベーターはとても古く感じました。室内は奇麗にお掃除されています。
ただし、近くにモスクがあり、毎日AM４時頃から野外スピーカーで大音量の放送が流されますので、まったく寝れませんし、当該敷地の周りがほとんど地元の方の居住区ですから、朝６時過ぎから”にわとりの鳴き声”が凄くて、困りました。さらに、３階ですと”匂い”が凄いです・・・海沿いにこのホテルが建っているのですが、とても汚れていて、凄いゴミ溜めになっていますので、そこから異臭が発生しているので、部屋の窓は開けられません。ホテルの方に頼んで15階のお部屋を見させていただきましたら、まったく異臭もなく、ニワトリの鳴き声も気になりませんでした。たぶん無いと思いますが、もしまた行くことがあれば、10階以上の部屋をリクエストします。
ひとつだけ良かったことは、レストランマネージャーはとても気配りが出来て、気の利くインドネシア人でした。ロビー階レストランはとても良い状態でした。

初めての利用。
5000円台後半、税込で7000円強の値段であったが、案内された部屋は寝室2つ、LDKつきのかなり広い部屋。部屋の調度もモダンな雰囲気。インドネシアであることを考えると非常に綺麗で、大満足。
また利用したいと思えるホテルだった。
