The hotel is in a great location, very close to the city center, making it easy to explore all parts of Makassar. The rooms are generally clean and comfortable, though some showed signs of smoking. The staff was friendly and accommodating, but the dining options could use some improvement with limited choices for breakfast.

I had a decent stay at the hotel, which is conveniently located near the city center, making it easy to explore Makassar. The rooms were quite spacious and had good air conditioning, but there were visible signs of smoking and an ashtray present, which wasn't ideal. The service from the staff was friendly and helpful, although the dining options were a bit limited. For the price, it was fair, but the smoking issues in the room did dampen the experience a little.
