      Location was easy to find, located in the center of manado. Arround 10min to reach manado boulevard by car. We were welcomed by a staff (guy) that was very friendly and show good respect to guests. Room was spacious, clean and cozy, with creative design filling the wall. Bed was comfy. Bathroom was a bit small but it did their purpose. Hot water and water pressure worked well. TV flat with international program are provided. Air con was cold and worked well. Drinking water are provided outside room in a dispenser with choices of cold and hot water, unlimited! Breakfast were limited of choices, the fried rice is tasty though imo. But yeah its just additional comparing to other hotel (with same prices) wont even give a free breakfast. Really satisfied and recommend you to try. Value for money.

      the best place in town for this price”

      hard to imagine there is a better place in town for this price. in fact, it was probably the best quality room for the price (200k) in my 4 weeks in sulawesi. super clean, good bed, everything felt new or recently painted, great hot water shower, very helpful staff, artistic hotel and room design, hot & cold (a rarity) drinking water on every floor, and even a rooftop hangout area. i did miss complementary coffee which could be found in some other places, but with the hot water on my floor, i could easily make my own.

      1 night stopover”

      Excellent hotel for the price. Room is small,but bed and pillows were comfortable. Shower was hot. Staff were friendly and organised taxi and a breakfast box as I had an early start. Staff supplied a map so I could walk into the centre. There are restaurants nearby or plenty of choices along the waterfront. I recommend this hotel as a short stay.

      Good quality of hôtel. The room is clean. But I Book a superior room With queen bed and they gave to me a twin bed sperior room. So I changed to a normal room With queen bed but they didn't give me thé difference if Price. It was complicated to handle the change of room With Agoda and booking.com

      The rooms were well worth the price, only the bathrooms were a little smelly. Staff was really nice and helpful and breakfast was pretty good, too! They also provide free water!

      Stop off for a night”

      We had to stop for one night on the way to the Sitaro islands, this place was perfect. Rooms were comfortable, showers warm, breakfast was ok but was so happy to see that they provide free water refills from a cooler rather than providing plastic bottles. They will call go-jek for you to get to where you need to be, really close to the harbour.
