    This very beautiful and historic hotel could benefit from a general overhaul and revamp to modernise the facilities. For the restaurant buffet, more targeted options could perhaps enhance quality over quantity.

    Splendid looking hotel with impressive artifacts from the colonial era, beautiful architecture and swimming pool. Offers spa services, transportation can be arranged, efficient laundry service, generous breakfast buffet. Staff is very helpful and polite.

    There’s hardly any sound insulation, you can hear everything from the other rooms, the corridor, and the pipes making noise…

    Great breakfast, and the hotel is in a beautiful building. Our room was away from the traffic noise.

    The rooms in the older building aren’t as nice so definitely recommend the second building overlooking the pool

    We had a lovely stay at The Phoenix. It is an interesting place that is beautifully decorated. Staff were fantastic. Our room was clean and comfy. The breakfast spread was astounding. There is a pool and spa, including free use of sauna and gym. The hotels also organised our sightseeing, which made things easy and relaxed as they drove us around. It is perfectly located and all in all we can highly recommend it!

    It was disappointing to see a guest enter the lift with a lit cigarette then proceed down the corridor & enter his room, very inconsiderate! We did report to reception & we told it would be dealt with.

    Room was spacious with a nice balcony overlooking the pool. Breakfast was mainly Indonesian choices (which was fine by us), there was also an egg station where you could place your order & a fresh juice bar. Restaurant staff of an evening were fantastic. As it was our anniversary our room was decorated & we were given a cake. A lovely surprise! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

    Outstanding staff. Staff members like Arin or Ali are truly at the service of the customers, going beyond what would be normally expected.

    Bathroom needs a good cleanse (black mold) and update (sink and faucets are very old), poor water pressure in the shower. Curtains don’t close completely so there’s a lot of light in the room at night.

    Beautiful building in a good location. Swimming pool area is gorgeous. Spacious rooms and comfortable bed. Warm and welcoming staff. Some improvement points but still overall very good experience and would stay again.

    See above re water. Crazy tiny cups in room if you wanted tea.

    Gorgeous old colonial style hotel in a great position . Lovely door outdoor courtyard restaurant with probably the best breakfast we have ever had ! Room was pool view and quiet . Agree with others it’s nonsense to charge $ for tiny bottle of water . Install some water coolers so people can refill. Spa was very good and v well priced . Happy hour was a bargain and the food in the restaurant was very good ( we only ate local food) although service at dinner could be a bit haphazard. Reception staff v helpful and booked transfer to airport for us , laundry pick up etc .
