Review: nMy recent stay was unfortunately marred by a significant issue concerning the pre-arranged chauffeur service. While many aspects of the hotel were enjoyable, the lack of communication and subsequent unexpected charge for a service I did not fully utilize left a sour taste.nPrior to my arrival, I had arranged for a chauffeur. However, despite this arrangement, I received absolutely no confirmation – neither a phone call nor an email – regarding the service. This lack of proactive communication was a red flag that, in hindsight, I should have addressed more vigorously.nUpon my arrival, it became clear that the chauffeur service, which I had expected to be seamlessly integrated, was not as confirmed as it should have been. To my dismay, I ultimately had to pay for this service, despite the significant communication breakdown and the fact that I did not enjoy the benefit of a confirmed and smoothly executed transfer. This felt like an unfair imposition, especially after the lack of any prior notification.nWhile I appreciate the comfortable room, the friendly front desk staff, the convenient location, the disorganization surrounding the chauffeur service and the unexpected cost truly detracted from my overall experience. I strongly urge the hotel management to improve their communication protocols for pre-booked services, particularly those involving an additional charge, to avoid similar frustrations for future guests.n
Positive points: not bad
Negative points: more menus
Review: Everything was good except they give the round soap instead of shower gel.
Positive points: The location is good, lots of cafe and restaurant nearby
Negative points: So I ordered an extra bed for 350.000 and it was very uncomfortable to sleep in. The extra bed didn’t event come with a proper blanket. The hallway of the room also has a strong damp smells from the carpet. And I’m most disappointed at the price of a mineral water bottle which is 25.000/bottle. At first I thought the water was evian or other imported brand, however it turned out just a local brand of mineral water yet the price is very very expensive.
Review: Clean, friendly staff and old hotel.

Review: banda aceh is very frugal location and this hotel is the best in town. quiet during night time and breakfast is decent. room spacious but towel and linen need improving
Positive points: Overall its good
Negative points: My room's air conditioning not cold
Review: Nice hotel
Positive points: Large room, comfortable bed
Negative points: Hotel is beautifully designed but older and poorly managed. Lots of overdue repairs (broken things in room, frayed bedsheets), breakfast lacking in quality, variety and hygiene (roaches living underneath the big coffee pot and seen running around every morning), murky pool also in disrepair. Can't compete with newer places at this price.
Review: The reception that welcome us was not helpful & misleading, while we requested the bill, he said that we should asked to Agoda or the Agency, while we actually paid the bills in property, which mean the hotel should issued the bills. Fortunately when we checked out the girls from hotel is without hesitant just issued the bills for us.
Positive points: The bed and pillow
Negative points: Pool is not well maintained
