Swiss-Belhotel Merauke, Indonesia
 | Overall Rating: GOOD Stayed May 2016 Traveled on business |
Not that many hotel in the small city of Merauke, the most South-East city in Indonesia. And this hotel is like oasis, stands up become landmark of the city, as the best hotel around. If you ask everyone in Merauke, where to stay in a hotel; they all would say Swiss-Belhotel.
The hotel is quite new with nice swimming pool. This swimming pool also become the best swimming pool in Merauke. It is not that big, but nice and children would love to play in the pool under the shadow of the building when the hot sun of Merauke is burning. The restaurant is also nice with variety of food at breakfast. I had a chance to order room service of Papeda with yellow soup fish in my room. Papeda is traditional main dish of people in Papua made by sago and rich in carbohydrate. Papeda simply made of sago starch with no taste and smell, but the yellow soup fish of this hotel is something. It was so good, I’m telling you. The sour, sweet and spicy was just right.
I stayed in room 220. The room was small but quite comfy. One thing though my bathroom floor was always wet because the plumbing system of the closet was a bit broken to the point that water kept dripping and wet the floor. I told the staff, they fixed after my first night, but it was not quite right. So I hope they close this room 220 for their guest until they are sure that the problem is really fixed.
