"I have stayed in other hotels in banjarbaru but they were not nearly as nice as the upscale hotels in banjarmasin, until now. Grand maya is on the same level as the best of banjarmasin with a better price point as of now, and although I was unsure about being in the middle of both cities it actually worked out better as i I travel to both."

Hotel has great bikes for rent if you are brave enough to get out on that road. ;0)"

"The best location to stay in Banjarmasen , Hotel is safe and secure with good security , Hotel is built on a shopping centre so its the best location for walk to shopping from your hotel room ,
I have stayed here four times over the years and i will stay again in the future ,"
"The check-in and check-out process was very easy and fast without a deposit. The FO gave me a room with a nice view, the sea and the pool. The room was clean, the AC was cold, the shower was very strong. but now they don't provide bar soap, shower cap, toothbrush in the bathroom but when you check in, they will ask for this and if you need it, they will give it to you. everything is ok, only the security in front of the lobby door must be alert if guests bring a lot of luggage. There is no need to ask whether they need help carrying the suitcase or not. I think it's better to just help directly without having to ask.
Novotel Balikpapan, January 5, 2026"
