Golden Tulip Balikpapan Hotel & Suites

Stay for a business trip. The room is old, and have some moldy smell. Bring your own water, as they refuse to refill the bottled water in room. It was really bad experience

The staff was very friendly and helpful and this review is no reflection on them. The room was old, stains in the roof and walls, opened up the bathroom cupboard to put items in it and it was suitable with exposed wiring and no shelves just bare concrete. The pool area was unmanned and no towels present. And the pictures of the nice seaside restaurant must be from a long time ago as there is nothing there now.

Golden Tulip Balikpapan is a fantastic venue for both business and leisure, offering a wide selection of food and beverages, easy accessibility, and stunning sea views that make your stay truly enjoyable.

This hotel earns the lowest possible rating due to complete failure in basic customer communication across multiple platforms. The establishment's total lack of response to inquiries, both via email and Instagram, demonstrates an unacceptable approach to customer service. Despite attempts through different communication channels, no response was received even after a week of waiting. This systematic failure to acknowledge or respond to potential guest inquiries raises serious concerns about the hotel's operational standards and customer service commitment. In the hospitality industry, where communication is crucial, such complete non-responsiveness is particularly problematic. For a hotel carrying an international brand name, this level of communication failure is especially disappointing. The lack of response through any channel suggests fundamental problems with their customer service management. For potential guests considering this property, the complete absence of communication response makes it impossible to recommend. If basic pre-stay inquiries are ignored, it raises significant doubts about the level of service guests might expect during an actual stay. This level of non-responsiveness is unacceptable in the hospitality industry, where prompt and reliable communication should be a basic standard of service.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Don't think twice to choose this Hotel... You will see how they give you excellent service from the staff... Securty, front desk, restaurant staff and the staffs who clean your room. Rooms are spacious with good ambience, and have nice views... City view and pool view. For business or family leisure... They can handle it well. For the last... Maybe you have to plan to expand your restaurant with the spacious ones.

im here for the gym i personally think its more like private gym for the guests but they open for public cheap and not crowded, but you have to pay to park (free, if you ask for the stamp on your parking ticket at the receptionist)

Not quite good place to long stay, if you plan for long stay, i prefer choose other. The reason were quality of bedroom and bathroom. Then you need extra patient when waiting a lift, just 2 lifts and take so long time. Even though there was lack, the breakfast was good and delicious, the scenery was beautiful sea. Just share my experience 👍Hope the hotel can improve more.

My family went here for a vacation and it was a good experience. The hotel is located at the seaside and the view is beautiful, especially if your room is on the higher floors. There's a pool near the lobby which faces the sea as well. A good spot for taking photos. The room we stayed in was nice and cozy. It was quite big and there were 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a pantry, and a balcony in our room. It could fit about 3-6 people (or maybe more if you try lol). Overall it was pretty good.
