Great Location but Need Renovation”

Location is really great, I stayed at room with sea view and I can see Losari beach and the crowds in the evening. Hotel need full renovation from my personal view, since the hotel is quite old. Restaurant staff need to be more proactive to find a seat during the breakfast, especially when in full house condition. I need walk around and asked other guests by myself whether we can share a table for breakfast and is not shown a good services. Need to improve

Above average”

Okay Hotel, near the beach, food was terrible

Exceptional”

Even the hotel is old, their customer service is superb, food is delicious and i like the room layout make it spacious and feel like home. We stayed at room 229 from 11.3 - 13.3.18. Checked out and changed to another 4* hotel but we were not happy there so we come back to this hotel again.

My favorite hotel in Makassar ”

I knew this hotel since 2000. I was stayed in so many times and one thing is never change.. the service quality still the best! Very polite, very fast respond, very helpful, and very satisfiying The location is the best also. It's in front of the sea. And you can go by walking distance to the Pantai Losari and get some culinary experience. It surrounded by many restaurant/ streets foods/ souvenirs shop. It's a noisy area but you hardly can't listen anything inside the hotel. I do love this hotel. But someting is change, the variety of breakfast is not as much and good as i knew before. It supposend to be one of the best breakfast hotel but i don't feel it anymore. Maybe because i choose the peak time season so many people are stayed in the hotel too, and make it too crowded. But i've tried others food (non breakfast) the taste still good, just lack of variety. We stayed for 3 nights, and the room is so cozy. It is big enough even for superior type, and my 5 yo son can running with my nephew. The bathub is big enough too, but my challenge on the bathroom is some spot is not clean enough, maybe because it already old. Anyway, i saw the cleaning service works.. the do change the sheets (bed linen), yeay! The pool is not very big, but satisfy us enough. And it has kids pool. Also the gave us pool towel (warm and clean towel). Still one of the best hotel in Makassar since long time ago..

Flying Kiwi”

Very good location. Big room, big bathroom both clean. Carpet on floor a change from tiles, bed to my liking.Air-con works will. Breakfast very good, overall good value hotel. I have stayed at other Aryaduta Hotels in Indonesia.

clean, comfort and right in the town centre”

i am very comfortable staying here, the room is spacious and clean. it is located by the Losari beach where it is very happening at night. the security is very tight and I feel very safe. The only thing thats disturb me is when the security personal asking unnescessary questions especially when I come in with my guests. That is really make me unhappy.

A pleasant stay”

We stayed for two nights and this was not our first stay at this hotel. We like the location and ambience of the hotel. The staff are friendly, the room nice, the food good and the hotel good value for money. We will stay again.

Nice hotel @ seaside”

Iam very when me and may family stay at the hotel because this hotel near culinary locatiaon everywhere is seafood restaurants and also this hotel has a clud named salsa alaso I can enjoy my night life, If I visit makassar I will come back to this hotel , and also I will recommended to our friends and relatives

Comfortable stay”

Hotel look and feel would qualify as four star, as many older originaly five star hotels in Indonesia. However, staff performance (every one of them) during our stay was impecable, even at peak moments. Truly five star personnel and experience.

Always a great stay”

This is one of the better hotels to stay in Makassar. Check their rates for the club floor, as the club is good. Nice large rooms and bathroom. The pool is not very private though. Close to everything

An Overnight Stay”

Stayed overnight on our way to Kendari. The location on the waterfront is superb, the hotel facilities are very good, the staff friendly and efficient and the whole experience was very pleasant. We will stay there again.

Stunning Sunset, Great Staffs”

Very positive about Aryaduta Makassar: Location: The hotel situated in front of Losari Beach. So close to the beach that I can feel the dynamics of the city, yet far enough to give me peace in my room. From my deluxe ocean view room I can enjoy stunning sunset everyday. Also glittering light from inter-ocean ships' light coloring the night. Many guests also took the opportunity to did their early morning pray at the beautiful mosque at the beach, slightly above the sea, I guess. Right in front of the hotel I can enjoy famous traditional snack: "pisang epe" or grilled banana with sweet coconut sauce. A very famous seafood restaurant are only 15' walks. One day I took "a becak" or traditional rickshaw, and enjoy the short ride to the restaurant. Staffs: They are GREAT. Attentive, genuine and very responsive to my request. Breakfast: Actually breakfast is just like any 4 stars hotel. American, Asian, Indonesia, and local delicacies. I enjoy pisang epe "hotel-style", it was as good as the one sold outside the hotel. The hotel also served tasty fried noodle with thick sauce - quite enjoyable. Negative: Room service was very expensive Big closet inside the room smells strange

Good stay”

It was overall I had a very good stay. I stayed for 2 nights. The room is spacious and tastefully decorated. But it is a pity that it seems the wall separating the rooms is rather thin. I culd hear people in the next room when they talked or used the bathroom. Another negative experinece with a front desk staff. During the check in she ignorantly gave me a smoking room, when in the reservation it was stated that I only want a NON SMOKING room, strictly. As usual, when I questioned why my request was not given attention, she tried to brush me off by saying that all rooms have been occupied. Showing off her arrogance and just gave me an access card for a smoking room, but not until i tossed it back and landed on the table in front of her by saying "I will never stay in a moking room", then only she trembled and gave in, giving me just what is right: a non smoking room. I never can understand this kind of habit. I know the hotel have plenty of rooms... but as always the front staff just try to be difficult... and give less to the deserving guests. After all I prepaid the room.

you get what you pay for”

The hotel has a great setting being part of a waterfront development. Great location, great amenities, very comfortable rooms, very clean, good food (I LOVE the Coto Makassar served here!) For those carrying more brass, this is the perfect place for you.

Old but still nice”

it was nice”

I always try to stay in Arya Duta when in Makassar. I love the Losari Area because there were many magnificent restaurant. Everywhere was walking distance. I like the lobby specifically because it was not so big nor small. I know for sure that I've been staying there for more than 5 occasions, I do hope they will have better filing on frequent customers so I don't have to write my data all the time.

Old, very old, but inexpensive”

I was aware that it is old, but that is THAT old I didn't expect. A journey back in time 25 years or so. Hanving said that, the rooms are not run-down, even though mildew is starting to grow at some places in the bathroom, and everything looked as if it had been repaired plenty of times already. Bed was acceptable. flatscreen-TV. veeeeery expensive in-room-dining. WiFi worked, okay speed. wired LAN available too (which I made use of for my laptop). Breakfast was not a 5-star experience, but if you associate the breakfast with the low room rate, it was satisfying. Pool was less inviting than it first looked. Location is perfect, the very Center of town. Overall not bad.

location, excellent food, renovation needed”

overall i had an excellent stay at this hotel. i have heard about its reputation for excellent breakfast buffet and western food. I was not disappointed. the room needs renovation (mattress would need to be changed and the bathroom renovated) the 5 stars glories are starting to fade. same comment for the swimming pool and the gym.

Old world hotel that needs modernity”

Hotel is located in a nice location, in the center of town and fronting the Losari Beach. Although the rooms are large, they are very old and in need of refurbishment. The good things about the hotel is their friendly staff, check in and check out was a breeze. The lobby has an ambiance of a slightly modern-ish hotel, thought the rooms are otherwise. Breakfast was just okay. Over all a standard hotel, nothing much to be excited about, but again the location is great.

little bit lush ”

the hotel located at the famous losari beach , very nice to enjoy the sunrise from my room . the staff was nice , the room little bit old and i can smell humidity from the alley of the hotel . overall everything was ok .
