Hotels near Manado Samratulangi airport

Pros: Nothing

Cons: Very disappointed. The hotel and rooms are old. But that wasn’t the main problem: - pool closed without notice at booking - all western tv channels did not work anymore and reception at last confirmed that they don’t pay for the channels anymore (so you left with Asian tv) - fridge in the room broken - breakfast almost not edible I will never ever stay at Swiss bel again

Pros: The rooms are well appointed. Comfortable bed, good sized room, nice view. The breakfast is tasty, the freshly made croissants are about as good as I’ve had. The staff are friendly and helpful.

Cons: Would be good if the gym was a little larger

Pros: Staff was very friendly and service was excelent in every area 😊 Rooms was clean and big. I highly recommend this hotel and i will be back again.

Cons: -

Pros: I have stayed at several hotels around SE Asia, while Swissbel Manado is not the best I have ever experienced, it is great compared to Indonesia hotel standards. However, it is pricey. I stayed in the Deluxe room - with taxes and fees about $74 per night. The food is quite pricey as well. However, since the rooms have a fridge and a kettle, you can always grab snacks, drinks, and noodles from the market across the street. But the food they have IS tasty and you should splurge on it. The breakfast was delicious and had many options: pastries, fruit, cereal, Indonesian dishes, salad, eggs, fresh bread, and a large variety of juices. And everything I ate was delicious. The pool was rather nice, when children were not playing in it (as with all pools) and they will bring food/drinks to you while you relax. I also got an Ayurvedic massage and it was amazing. The staff is also helpful, and found a place for me to buy certain research supplies in town. The wifi is good (I was on the 7th floor - each room has it's own dedicated router), but not Netflix good. It takes about 3 times as long to stream anything online. This is not a bad mark on the hotel - I didn't expect anything other that this situation. However, i know that some people are curious how good the wifi is.

Cons: I would suggest you not buy pastries from the Swiss Cafe in the Lobby. I bought a cake and it was definitely not fresh. I was told they had been made the night before, however considering the cakes were all in the same spot from three days prior, that comment is suspect. BUT - they felt so bad that they later brought me 3 slices of cake to my room, all of which were fresh. So at some point the cakes here are good and are fresh. Also, as others have said, only a few staff speak English, but this is not the fault of the hotel. You are in a remote part of Indonesia and it is difficult to find people who know the language. Yes, it would be nice if we could communicate more effectively, but for the most part I got along just fine with my broken Bahasa.

Cons: I’ve stayed here many times and not had a problem before but this time there was no extra pillow available. I couldn’t believe they could not find an extra pillow in a 75 room hotel!! My mistake, I didn’t ask the day staff. The night staff need some extra training obviously. I’ll stay there again because of their close location to the Bunaken boat harbour.

Pros: we stayed there one night, the location is perfect for those who want to go to bunaken. the harbour is just behind the hotel. the staff is very friendly, the food really good. breakfast is included and they have a good value. aaaand they sell beer 😁

Cons: rooms are getting old and have an old style...but clean.

Pros: Bed extra comfy. Big and clean room. Very nice view of d harbour. Good englisk speaking staff. Nice buffet breakfast.

Cons: Elevatos is only up to 4th floor.

Pros: Location

Cons: Toilet water is slow

Pros: Great value. Convenient location. Very helpful and attentive reception staff. Nice breakfast. Best price for Bintang during our 6 week stay in Sulawesi hotels! Stayed twice.

Pros: The beds were really comfy.

Cons: The best years of this hotel are gone. The sheets and bathroom had stains all over...the tiles on the floor were broken and ripped of...not very secure!

Pros: very kindly staff; good breakfast clean and big room

Pros: Good location, friendly staff, value for money, spacious room and bathroom, fast response of room service, fast checkin procedure

Cons: Hotel management should give more concern about cleanliness and the hotel furniture and equipment (in general) need to be rejuvenated. but it is very understandable, considering that this is a pandemic, so hotel management must save money in expenses.

Pros: Nothing

Cons: Run down

Pros: I have booked this hotel several times in the past year. Altough they might a hard time to maintain properties during pandemic, they did a very good job on it.

Cons: Well, it is hard to give a review for a hotel in this pandemic situation. They reduce the staffs, the amenities, even the menus. But they had to survive too, and that's what matter.

Pros: Great location and great view from the room. Friendly and helpful staff.

Cons: Hotel is old, the swimming pool area is ugly and water greenish. AC in our junior suite couldnt get the room cooler than 25celsius. Room was covered with a thin layer of dust (cleaned upon request). Breakfast choice quite limited.

Pros: I booked 6 rooms for my whole family and they were also satisfied with the hotel and staff. The place was near shopping mall area and restaurants. It’s only a pity due to covid-19 the restaurant closed at 8 p.m. and it was difficult to find a place to have dinner after 8 p.m. So, if you want to stay in Manado, you need to buy your dinner before 8 p.m.

Pros: Breakfast for sure have something to everyone. Good location for shopping and restaurants. Upgraded room was nice🤗

Pros: Room is totally adequate. Nice linens (a few stains) and towels. Really enjoyed the gym. The sea side room view is nice. And i like the feel of the lobby. Perhaps dated but still felt elegant to me. I was able to walk out for some shopping , dining and banking within a few minutes. Drivers all know that place so was easy to arrange transportation.

Cons: Honestly booked here for the breakfast and pool. The pool was disgusting. Not sure why anyone would get into green water. I live in Indonesia and understand pool maintenance after rain (rained before i arrived but not during my 2 nights stay). I could not even take a photo as i would be embrassed for anyone to see how bad it looked. Breakfast has a nice variety for Asian customers but as a westerner i was expecting a few options beyong white bread, a fried egg/omelet which i had to wait an extremely long time while one burner was lite but the cook could not operate two at same time, and fruit. I left hungry each day. During my two mornings, i experienced that the buffet ran out of fruit, bread and milk. Items where slow to be replenished as well. Too many options for hotels with no breakfast and no pool to pay the extra for these and not be able to enjoy. I

Pros: Clean. Friendly and helpful staff. Nice view.

Cons: Bathroom need improvement.

Pros: Following all the health protocols, quick check in, very clean and safe

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Breakfast

Pros: Breakfast very good

Cons: None

Pros: I like the taste of the breakfast options n the cleanliness of the room..next time i will come back

Cons: Add more breakfast options like manadonese cakes

Pros: The location is good for those who prefer a bit of quietness. Staff serves and smile every time we bump into them, reception is really awesome. Restaurant have plenty of seats and food are varies, they also sell cakes at the counter.

Cons: It's old building, somehow the smell and looks is not pleasant. No swimming pool too. And the bathroom in my room is a bit tight. The hotel needs to provide more parking space, because we somehow don't feel comfortable trusting our car to strangers.

Pros: Good value for money

Cons: Na

Pros: I love all about the hotel, from the time of check-in, the breakfast, the friendliness of the staff, the room which was really clean. the space for parking was really great as well. the security was friendly and very accommodating. whoever runs the hotel, they are doing a fantastic job.

Cons: I don't seem to have anything that i don't like about the hotel.

Pros: Personnel was very helpful (special mention to James who took excellent care of our family), always providing solutions to our requests and paying special attention to health/safety details which for us is extremely important during these COVID-19 times. Hotel and rooms are clean and comfortable and food is good quality

Cons: While very specific to our trip, we were unfortunate to be placed in the same floor (ground) as a big group which came to a wedding party. Noises were constant in the hallway until 1AM and we had a hard time with the babies. The hotel personnel tried to help on these issues after our constant complaints, and a security person was even located in the hallway. While people shouting and singing in the hallway were not respectful, it is clear that our rooms' noise isolation could be significantly improved

Pros: The room is outdated & needs more maintainance.

Cons: Room is smelly

Cons: The front desk should be pay more attention to the room layout. We asked for a king bed but they gave us a room of twin bed which they put together the twins and looks like a king bed. We ask for change, they gave us another room which occurred to be the same layout. 👎🏻👎🏻

Pros: Air condition and TV good, at least can sleep well, near airport and the staff very welcome and helpfull

Cons: Old hotel, the room was dark, wastafel broken, refrigerator not cold, bathroom not so clean . Breakfast not recommended

Pros: The bed comfortable but makes noise the sheet is clean and the bathroom is big with nice bathtub looking at the garden

Cons: The staff at the reception could be trained to be more helpful and responsive. They are smiley and friendly but they are slow to understand and even we have explained several times they still don’t get the matters. The staff at the restaurant are great on the other hand.

Pros: Location near airport. Good for a transit stay

Cons: Airport transfer preorganised

Pros: The scrambled eggs for breakfast were unexpectedly amazing.

Cons: The bathroom wasn't extremely clean but for a low budget hotel it was ok. They didn't have butter but used blue and for breakfast and instead of marmalade it was some sort of paste or jello so didn't risk using it. They didn't inform us if there was wifi or not.

Pros: Clean and comfortable

Cons: There's no hair dryer

Pros: So comfort like home

Cons: Not yet

Pros: The breakfast is good. We stayed for 4 nights and every day the breakfast menu is different. Hotel location is very good, just about 15-20 minutes drive we can reach Megamas area where we can find malls, restaurants etc.

Cons: There was no porter who helped me to bring luggages from the car to the hotel lobby.

Cons: Watermark and stain at bathroom wall.

Pros: i like the location of the hotel, near to everything that we should have. walking distance to the mall in the area. the staffs were very friendly and accommodated. we arrived a little late, 9:30pm. and the restaurant is closed, room service up to 7pm only, then we asked the staffs to buy us food. They were very nice ...

Cons: I couldn't believe the noise from the bar around the area. if I was not very tired, I would make a big complaint, but it was really tired and managed to sleep well. One of the weak points of this hotel is the NOISE!!

Pros: Location is very good ...

Cons: Nothing

Cons: The staff

Pros: I like this hotel because the room is so clean and fragrant

Cons: because hotel location is near at the beach area and then will become a crowded room if night comes

Pros: The breakfast was ok .most of the food was cold .

Cons: The pool was nice but often no where to sit . Our room was very noisy from the bar downstairs ,thankfully the front desk moved us to a quieter room ,

Pros: The bungalow was beautifully furnished and had great views. But the real strong point of Cocotino's is the restaurant. The food is really well prepared, tasty and well seasoned. From "western" dishes to local Indonesian classics - you can't go wrong with your order.

Cons: Reception staff duped us when arranging the airport transfer. We paid way more than other guests, and when approached about this, the receptionist quite cheekily told us that we hadn't haggled enough with him to receive the lower fare. He also inisited on us paying the transfer in cash to him, rather than to the driver.

Pros: Nice good budget option in centre of manado, great if you need to stay over for the night.

Cons: Book without break fast, better.

Pros: Comfortable bed, close to shops and restaurants. Good value for money. Definitely ok for one night.

Cons: Cleaning could be better, stains on towels and bed sheets.

Pros: Nothing - left as soon as we arrived

Cons: Everything

Pros: We were just looking for a simple, comfortable hotel after a number of days of basic accommodations in central Sulawesi. The staff were nice, though I'm not sure if they spoke much English. The rooms were basic, a bit small if you have large suitcases. But they were clean and comfortable enough. The location was reasonably convenient as we were able to walk to restaurants and coffee shops nearby.

Cons: Breakfast was a bit bland. Would have been nice if they included fresh fruit. The beds were a bit too soft for me so my back got a bit sore.
