Compared to other hotels in Balikpapan, Ibis is very affordable.
Nevertheless, this hotel offers good amenities, such as a nice, clean room with a comfortable bed. However, the shower cabin is too small. You can barely move around in it. I also miss a refrigerator.
The Indonesian breakfast is excellent.
Many Westerners stay in this hotel, but strangely enough, the breakfast is geared exclusively towards Indonesians. For Westerners, there's only cheap white bread with sweeteners like jam and chocolate spread. I miss good-quality wheat bread, rolls, cheese, and sliced meat.
Strangely enough, the hotel isn't geared towards Western tourists at all. FO doesn't know where to rent motor cycles and they don't have any information about tourist attractions.
They foist overpriced excursions with a guide and car on every tourist.
Dear Ibis personnel, please understand that many Western tourists want to rent motor cycles and find their way to excursions via Google Maps.
In short, Ibis management, do some research on Western tourists, provide brochures with excursions to FO, and make sure FO has information about motor cycles and car rentals.
In summary, Ibis is a fine hotel for a reasonable price, but unfortunately not sufficiently focused on Western tourists.
