Pontianak hotels & places to stay

I travelled to pontianak with 3 kids and 4 adults. It stayed in Aston Pontianak. My room was far from elevator because I took 2 superior rooms with connecting room. If you want to stay close to elevator, you should stay in deluxe room. During my stay, the small pool was under renovation. The hotel was nice, food was good. The location is in the city close to culinary area, easy to find food. The hotel is not well maintained especially in the elevator from parking area. It is recommended to stay, Aston is one of the best hotel in Pontianak.

We come in many hotels all over the world 4,5 and 5+ star hotels. In Kapuas Palace you feel as a king. First of all great staff. The General Managers is lucky with such wonderful friendly employees. Also the food is very good. I recommed the soto ayam. The hptel is near by the big market. We are sure we come back to Pontianak and this hotel you feel comfortable. The price/ quality is 10 points out of 10. Thanks that i was your guest. A beautiful memory.

We have 3 nights stay in this hotel, for the first time went to Pontianak. Hotel environment and surrounding is totally different. The room is spacious and front desk provide a very warming service, especially welcome us with local Aloe Vera drink. Hotel has the swimming pool and gym center at roof top, together with enclosed garden around restaurant, very unique and feel like home. Worth to stay for enjoyment.

This is brand new hotel in the heart of Pontianak city center. This hotel is next to Aston hotel pontianak. In this hotel neighbor, there is Garuda Indonesia ticket office, travel to other regency, and a lot of culinary, you also walking distance to have gift for someone from Pontianak. The room is small, with minimalist style interior, but all you need are in your room. Full of aminities. Hotel staf are great for discuss.

The only family hotel in Pontianak which give the complete services, I love to do exercise after work and the only provide the best and complete fitness equipment's is Gajahmada Hotel, the unique of this hotel is the room is quite big and service of breakfast was very unique traditional Pontianak food combine with Asian and the hotel is link to Feony Hotel next to the building and provide the roof top dining, the food is excellent plus the local singer are very professional, very relaxing and romantic roof top dining, one more its Value for Money .

the hotel is modern, clean and well staffed with friendly, english speaking receptionists that go the extra mile to meet the needs of guests. the staff were very helpful to me and the in-house restaurant was very good. nearby food outlets were excellent also. there is a large mall within about five minutes walk of the hotel, and a lot of other shopping within short taxi drives. the hotel is about 25 minutes from the airport, taxis are inexpensive and there are lots of them. when i go back to pontianak in the next few months we will use this hotel again. if i was a business person i would be happy about the free wireless access but might like a room that is a little bit bigger with a desk or table for using a laptop.

The hospitality at this hotel is without a doubt he best I/we have experienced anywhere on my/our travels. The manager (Suambara)met us at the gate when we arrived, and farewelled us again as we left, dispite it being 6.30 am!! The staff at Gardenia Resort went out of their way (above & beyond) to ensure our stay in Pontianak was pleasant, and were extremely helpfull with arranging tours/drivers, and even booking & collecting our bus tickets back to Kuching/Sarawak ("all part of the service" Suambara told us). The resort itself was picturesque; tea-light candles flanking raised boardwalks between chalet's/rooms, ponds, and even a couple of well behaved ducks. Great destination for a couple, family, honeymoon, business or leisure. If and when we come back to Pontianak, we'll certainly stay here again! Thankyou to Suambara & his staff for a great stay.

Best budget 3 star hotel to stay for price MYR 74/-. I stayed one night here. Then 2nd night at G Hotel. The worst hotel I stayed in my life. Please do not stay in "G Hotel" Again 3rd night I shift back to Hotel Kini. The best hotel in pontianak if you want to stay near Yosuf cathedral and water front. Standard rooms are big enough and good BF. Also Santika is good hotel nearby.

This is an old hotel, i think the boss have to totally renovate the hotel corridors, change the carpets, re-design the interiors especially the room because many seeing spots are old feelings. All the hotel staff are good, helpful with smiles. The Parking lot is quite big, i have no problem parking my rental car, secure parking stay overnight. Although the hotel stuff stay old, buat all functioning, water faucet good, shower good, toilet good. one thing bad is the exhaust fan, quite dirty, sometimes the black dust falling down. The Location is one of the best, you can find various tasty foods you want, you can try " Nasi Ayam / Nasi Campur Pontianak " , " Bakso Pontianak", " Sate Madura", " Pecel Madura ", " Choipan Pontianak ", " Bakpau Pontianak", " Dodol Duren ", " Dodol Lidah Buaya", " JuHi / Sotong Pangkong ", and many moreeee.....yummy delicious :D To enjoy more Pontianak, better you rent a car, you can as ke hotel guy to help you, i rent the car rp.250.000,-/day ( driver not included), so you can go everywhere you wanted. Weather in Pontianak is quit hot, but combined with little rain. I enjoy my 4 days trip visiting my wife parents, together with my lovely wife and 2 funny kids.

Even though i had read some poor reviews about this hotel, I was truly disappointed with my own experience! I really only chose it because it offered the convenient option of paying on arrival. The room was spacious but the only electrical socket was across the room from the bed, so I had to ask the bellboy to find an extension cable for me. The bed-sheets & towels were clean, but there was a big blob of dried toothpaste stuck in the sink! The staff were very patient & helpful - especially considering I had to call them for assistance 8 times! - but I was given the wrong information about breakfast and travel to the airport. But my main complaint was about the air-con, which did not work at all - the first 3 times the engineer came to see about it, he fiddled around with some tools; the 4th time, he filled it with water; and the 5th time he filled it with gas! In the end, I pushed the heavy bed over to the open window and slept there on & off through a very sweaty night!

We stayed at MyHome hotel for 4 nights in a "Deluxe room". We stayed there as we thought it is a new hotel and close to our relative place. Hotel appearance was decent. For a Deluxe room, it was still very small. Room was reasonably clean. The hotel offers karaoke service hence there were lots of people (non-hotel guests) coming in/out. Our biggest problem with the room/hotel was their non-smoking policy. We believe their non-smoking policy is just for show and no one actually enforces it. Our first room had cigarette smell, burned marks on chair and remotes and there was even an ash-tray on the table. We complained and their staff denied any knowing of smoking in the room. As our room was on 7th floor (karaoke service is on the 8th floor), it was very noisy until midnight. Finally we requested to move to another room and even though the smell was better, there was also an ash-tray in the room. In the lobby, people smoked freely in an air-conditioned area, right under No-Smoking sign and in front of Hotel staff. However no one said anything and that seems to be accepted. Overall, even for $25, We wouldn't stay at this hotel again.
