Traveling to Indonesia? Find Ambon hotels

A decent hotel, compared to others in downtown Ambon. It's location is easily reachable by affordable public transportation, regarding there are quite rare taxis in Ambon city. If there is any, taxi price is quite expensive. If you try to find a decent hotel in a middle of Ambon city, but don't want to spend a lot of cash for transportation, well this hotel is one of the best. It's quite pity that maintenance, like any other hotel in Ambon, is quite poor. For a hotel with Swiss Bell attached on it's name, they should be able to do much more on maintenance. There are rust on faucets, leaks on shower, damage on fittings, etc. It's minor alright but somehow it does not fit on this hotel rate.

A new hotel in Ambon. I arrived at 6.30 AM and the friendly reception offered me an early check-in plus breakfast for AU$10 (a bargain and highly appreciated after a very early flight from Makassar ... I wish more hotels offer this service). The room was clean, functional and comfortable. The best part was I could open the windows for fresh air. The restaurant was in the top floor ... the view over looking the Ambon Harbour was breath-taking. It was truly incredible. The breakfast was delicious and the staff were friendly and helpful. I visited Ambon for the first time and it was memorable. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I booked this hotel on the very same day we were supposed to stay there. I booked 2 bedrooms and called the hotel to let them know that we'll be needing additional bed for the fifth person. But they told me that they only have one room left and they don't have my registration from Agoda yet. So I tried to call Agoda's customer support without success. Then I emailed Agoda and they reply that I just had to show up there and the hotel manager will provide a solution. When I arrived there, the manager had gone home and the the receptionist of course, don't have a solution for us. After trying to contact several other hotel (all full) and sent SOS email requested an assistant from Agoda (no reply), the Engineering guy, Mr. Budi offered us to see the room and see if he can fit us all five within the room. So accompanied by his two colleagues, they put 3 extra beds in the room and we got our room set for the night. The next morning we met the lady who is probably the manager who freed all of the extra bed charges in exchange for the non existence of the second room. This is a revelation to me, I always thought that Agoda had online system that shows real time room now numbers, but turned out it didn't. I would like to recommend Agoda to fix this as this could've ended up with us sleeping on the street.

I booked 2 rooms. We arrived at the afternoon. The room is very small, but its clean and new, there are some spot in the bathroom but it's fine, the water heater is working well too. The first room is satisfying but the Aircon in the second room wasn't working well so we asked for another room, and the staff moved us to another room, which, unfortunately has the same problem but worst, the aircon won't work at all, so we moved again to the third room with the same problem, so we asked the staff to solve the problem, and there is no solution. So at 11 PM we asked them to moved us back to the first room we had, put the luggage on the second room and sleep at the first room, 4 or us

Ambonmanise is the way we usually name after the people & the island. Honestly, it's the truth. The hotel is just a perfect place to stay while visiting Ambon. It's located close to Mardika, also Pattimura Park, Lapangan Merdeka, and GPM Maranatha (Ambon central city). Damri bus stop has a final drop off in front of Lapangan Merdeka. From there, you can ride a becak to arrive in Everbright at the cost Rp 15.000, - Rp 20.000,- or it's about USD 1,28 - USD 1,70(price per March 2014 when I visited). The hotel was used to call Grand Soya Hotel before it had been renovated last year. No worries, there are many food seller around the hotel. Don't be hesitate to visit Ambon. The local people are super friendly, they won't lie you once you're asking for a direction, they are relly helpfull. The beaches, pisang goreng, fresh fish, sukun goreng and everything you name it are super great. Really wishing to comeback to Ambon, sungguh manise :)

This rather new hotel is located close to the city center of Kota Ambon. Staff is very friendly and ready to make your stay enjoyable. Restaurant on site serves quality food, ranging from local treats to Chinese and western dishes. I stayed in a standard room which had anything you might need. Bed is quite nex and allows one to sleep well after a hard day of exploring. Daily power-outtages are solved with a powerful generator. However, the evenings and nights belong to the 'hotelband', who play their songs in a rather loud way. Streetnoise can also be quite loud. Overall I had a pleasant stay!

Small cozy hotel. A bit far from the center of Ambon. The rooms are quite clean, spacious. There is TV (especially nice, which shows well the Sony channel), air conditioning, hot water. Including a simple breakfast (bring at 7 40 AM). Right at the door of the hotel is a big road, with great traffic. Its hard ti go to the other side. The bridg to other side about 100 meters from the hotel, is still under construction. Nearby there is a supermarket Robinson. It is easy to catch Angcot to remote beaches, to the Waai-villave (where the river is with moray eels), etc.

Actually it has the potential to be one of the best hotel in Ambon. Spacious room, Lounge, Karaoke Bar, etc. But the furniture and ambeience just too outdated and not properly managed. Need better and professional staff, and need better menu on the restaurant. However it cost me only 350k somethin (about 31 USD/night) so yes I think I got my value of money.. especially I got 5 pillows on my kingsize bed which was very comfy for such promotion price. The closet was also quite large to, so Yes I did take my time to sat there and think the next day plans 😁

All the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. My economy room was windowless, which could be a problem for some but I loved it as it was very quiet. The facilities were modern and the showers had hot water all the time. Breakfast was a standard affair. It was close to many of the attractions and restaurants. It is a great hotel for the budget concious but does not compromise on comfort and service. I stayed there on four separate occassions and would definitely stay again should I visit Ambon in the future.

We stayed here for two nights and really loved it. The staff is really nice although they don't speak English, so it was hard to communicate properly with them but google translate knows everything. Great hotel if you want a nice and comfortable room for a change, we had been islandhopping for some time so this was luxurious. If you need to stay in Ambon because of a flight you need to catch the next day for example, this is the place to be. The breakfast was very nice as well. We would definitely stay here again.
