However, internet connections were pretty bad and having to seek help many times at reception. Quite frustrated. Our room was pretty gloomy on ground floor due to dimly lit room lights.

Old Hotel but Good Location and Nice Service”

Best Location in Pontianak, Many Good Tasty Foods, Easy for Car Parking, Good Breakfast

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.

Old hotel with polite but unreliable staff”

Polite staffs, spacious rooms, good cleanliness

I was quite happy with my stay at Gajahmada hotel considering it's an old hotel. It showed that the hotel has improved its management and service quality. However, I was extremely disappointed in the unreliable information given by the receptionist. I wanted to rent some cars for city tours and the front desk kept assuring me that I would not have trouble finding one at the time I needed the car. It turned out when I wanted the car, the car was unavailable, I was given a contact of a car rental owner who's unprofessional and ridiculous in pricing his service and the reception didn't do anything to help at all. Didn't even say thank you when we left the hotel which is quite a big thing for me.

Shabby hotel with poor service”

Good location

I stayed with my husband in Gajahmada hotel for 3 days. We chose the hotel because of its convenient location with nearby food shops. Plus, it offered a free wi-fi. Things don't turn out as good as we imagined. It is true that we can just walk to nearby food shops and supermarket just right next to the hotel's door. But other than this, nothing pleased us.The breakfast was average and very little choices of food, drink and fruits. The worst thing was when we asked to borrow an ironing board, they told us that they were not supposed to let us use an ironing board. That was my first time I have ever encountered a hotel which denied us with an ironing board. At last, they let us use one after we protested. Later that night on 11.30pm, the hotel staff phoned our room, asking the ironing board back. We found it how truly non-professional they were, calling their hotel guests near the middle of the night for something that we did not deem it as emergency or important. We will definitely not intend to go back there when we visit Pontianak again. With the same cost, we can get a much better quality of hotel not far from Gajahmada hotel location.
