"Hotel posizionato vicino all'aeroporto, in una zona che non offre molto, caotica e vicina ad un centro commerciale immenso raggiungibile a piedi. Odore di chiuso ( non ci sono finestre apribili) e qualche traccia di umidità proveniente dal bagno. Pulizia sufficiente, materassi e cuscini molto comodi. Staff cordiale"

"ビジネスホテル。デザイナーズ風の建物・作りとスタッフの制服、スタッフの対応・接遇もシンプル・簡素で、笑顔もほとんどありません。
なおかつ、アメニティーも、タオルはバスタブも無いのに、バスタオルだけ、ハンドもフェイスも無いので、洗面は、大変です(笑)
連泊するとお願いしても歯ブラシの交換はありません(たまたま、忘れたのかと…)
PS,アルコール類は、たいへん高いです"

"The staff are so friendly, polite and helpful. I had arranged a pick up but my flight was delayed by over an hour. I managed to let them know and when I arrived at the airport the lovely young man from the hotel was there waiting for me. They let me change my room as the first one was near the lift and due to being a light sleeper moved me to a room further away which was perfect. The room was clean and the bed super comfy. If I ever travel back here would definitely stay again 😊"

" Our stay was for 4 nights & overall our stay was good.
Night 1 & 2 the centrally controlled balcony light was turned off by 10pm.
Night 3 it wasn’t turned off until 3am.
Night 4, I called reception at midnight & asked for the light to be turned off. Was told ‘Yes’. Never happened, it went off at 3am.
The volume was showing maximum however you could barely hear it, especially with the live music from the BSB stage next to the hotel.
A staff member brought a specific remote for the tv & adjusted...

"Great stay for a few nights. The property and the rooms are a bit old looking but overall nice enough for what we needed. We had to ask several times for hand soap because there wasn't any in our room, but they got us some eventually. The hotel breakfast is amazing, so many options for a buffet. I was really impressed. The restaurant was very good too."

"I choose Astara because of the location. The hotel is located at Balikpapan Super Block (BSB) where you can find various restaurants, malls, mini markets, hypermarkets, etc.
The hotel room is small compared to the same rate hotel in the BSB area but the types of furniture are quite modern. Room service needs more to pay attention to clean around the bed area where in some cases I found dust and small spider web residual on it."

"Wonderful Stay!
I had a fantastic experience during my recent stay at this hotel. The rooms were impressively spacious and impeccably clean, making it easy to relax and feel at home. Everything was well-maintained and thoughtfully arranged, which added to the overall comfort.
What truly made the stay exceptional was the staff. Everyone was warm, attentive, and professional—but I want to give a special Thanks to Ghita and Fitria (hope I spelled your names right!) . Their kindness and helpfulness went above and beyond, and they made me feel genuinely welcomed throughout my visit."
