I stayed here on business trip. Like other Accor chain hotel in Indonesia, the layout and interior was designed alike. I like the see-through bathroom design. The location is in downtown Balikpapan and close to Starbucks (very important point). If you wanna taste local seafood, just go across the street and you'll find some nice restaurants by the sea.

The window view (sea view) was so amazing and they have many choices on breakfast menu. The room and building were well maintenanced and the staff were... More

I was stayed here many times and found it very nice. The pool is great, you can see ocean/strait when swimming. The only problem is when you look for non-hotel food or other things, because it is quite far from the main road. May be it will be better next times because he city is growing and you can find...

I always choose this hotel (or other hotel under Accor chain) if I do not want to gamble with the price, quality and security. Especially if I'm not familiar with the city I visit. And I never challenged this habit. It is always right :) I stayed @ Novotel Balikpapan for only for 1 night and I could say that... More

I stayed here twice during my holiday in Balikapapan. The first visit was so perfect that I can easily give a review with 4 stars for its service.

Good. Rooms clean and well equipped and spacious. Pool ok. Very quiet outside, cus it's So hot. Breakfast and buffet meals ok. Laundry all ok, with no probs. lifts from lobby woefully slow. Be prepared to wait. Best night for food, was in my opinion, BBQ night with free beer from 1800-1900... Ok really.
