Comfortable yet affordable”

the location is perfect, just walking distance to gelael and souvenir shops. It just right on the side road, but not so busy. So it's not so crowded even during the day. My room was spacious,clean and neat. I have a comfortable night for sure. The staff is also helpful. We can also refill water from the dispenser in front of elevator. If you would like to stay here, better to book in advance. Since it's affordable and a good one, it easily full booked very soon.

Really dirty”

I think my room was never really cleaned. It’s cheap indeed but it shouldn’t mean that it’s disgusting. Hair and dust all over the floor, urine smell in the bathroom, and I am not sure if the bedsheets were fresh. (Towels had fresh smell, but not the bedsheets). Bedsheets had staines, shower curtain had mold on it, the sink never have been cleaned in it’s life. Lipstick stains on the glasses provided in the room. Shower drain was clogged…. I am backpacking through SEA, I’ve seen things, but almost the most basic accommodations were cleaner. On the positive side the room layout is really convenient (double room), the bed was comfy, you can refill your water bottle on the corridor. Bathroom layout is also ok, there is a shower curtain so the toilet stays clean. Warm (not hot!) water from shower. Staff is speaking in English. I stayed and didn’t complain because desperately needed to have a sleep, but otherwise I would either request a new room or a proper an thorough cleaning. I decided to leave, my next place is also really dirty…. As I understand this is a common issue in Makassar even in upscale places.
