Hotel berhampiran Mesjid Nur Ibnu Taimiyah, Gorontalo

After leaving the Togean Islands, we needed a place to stay in Gorontalo before we caught a flight back to Makassar. Our island resort noted that many of their customers often stayed in the New Melati Hotel. We arranged for transport from the Gorontalo ferry through the hotel and were met by a tuk-tuk (motorized rickshaw) driver who loaded up us and our luggage for the 15 minute drive into the town. The New Melati Hotel is a small complex of buildings on a pleasant street with a wide plaza in front (great for walking out at night when it is finally cooler). Our room was adequately furnished, clean, quiet, and with a comfortable bed. The AC was quite tepid, and the bathroom was open to the outside through vents, so it was important to keep the bathroom door closed so as not to make the AC struggle even more. Management spoke English, and it turned out that this is the New Melati Hotel, owned by the great-grandson of the man who began the first Melati Hotel. We met the owner’s grandfather and had a wonderful chat about his project to renovate the original hotel - now in a food court conveniently located next door to the hotel. There is also a mini-mart immediately adjacent, so besides the breakfast in the mornings, it is quite easy to get your other food/snack options satisfied within steps of the hotel. We also wanted to explore the town further, so used the original tuk-tuk driver to take us around the town. It was a perfect stop over place for us, and certainly budget friendly.

I've stayed here for 5D4N on 23 to 27 Nov. Overall, its unpleasant experience during my stay. My goal is that management able to do conduct some improvement based on my review here, since Amaris name still under Santika big group First is that the water smells very bad like sewage water, and the color is brown on the toilette. I thought is only for the flush toilette water, but it is also for the shower and on the wastafel. I don't know it is the water filtration system on the hotel not working properly or all the water of this area is a brackish water. But when I visited nearest mall, they have fresh water and not smell at all. With that bad water, I was forced to brush my teeth with drinking mineral water bottle. Please fix your water’s quality The Housekeeping team is also very un-professional here. My room is not cleaned up yet when I return back to the hotel at 3.30 pm, even I’ve already ask to the receptionist in morning when I left the hotel for my diving activities (fyi that room hanging sign “do not disturb, clean up” is not provided in my room). And it is not only happen once or twice, I remember my whole stay here that I must ask request repeatedly to clean up my room at the afternoon when back from diving. While every morning I stated clearly that I need my room to be cleaned up before 2 p.m. It was so frustrating that they can’t accommodate simple request like that. As a diver, after my diving activity I required to take a shower immediately when arrived at the hotel, cleaning up myself, my diving computer and camera must be soaked into fresh water to prevent corrosion. Then I must wait again around 20 minutes when realized that the hotel didn’t made up my room when arrived back. Geezz… Due to pandemic situation, the hotel’s staff already informed me that restaurant is closed for breakfast, and breakfast will deliver to each room every morning. Earliest delivery can be provided at 6.00 a.m., so I ask to be delivered at 6.30 a.m. each morning to my room. And guess what, it always late to 6.50 or even 7 am, while I must leave the hotel and go for diving at 7 sharp. I must called reception repeatedly every morning to ask my breakfast not to be late, bit it came always late. And the worst of all, that on my last day stay here, it happen that restaurant is re-opening for breakfast. I didn’t get any information at all and when waited till 7.30 I called reception and they just informer me. What a shame. i know its a budget hotel class, but those 3 complaints are very basic requirement of every accommodation; water, housekeeping and meals. If the hotel failed to provide that, what do you offers then? To be fair also, the pros about this hotel is strategic location, and I was helped by their accounting team, I made mistake when book this hotel via online booking app. It should be 23-27 Nov, but I mistakenly booked for 22-26 Nov. They solved it well without any penalty fees, Special thanks to accounting team.

I booked this hotel after staying at the New Melati hotel and wanted somewhere better. I have been very pleased with my stay here. The hotel is clean and quite well maintained, with good WiFi, very effective AC and hot water in the rooms. I stayed in a Superior room - the size of the room is generous and the fridge has been very handy. The bed and bedding are very comfortable and the room is tidied and cleaned every day. There is a good breakfast buffet and the bubur ayam is absolutely delicious, as is the fried rice! The staff have all been very helpful and friendly too. The only downside I have thought of is that the AC resets to 18C every time I leave the room and this is far too cold - perhaps it can be made warmer as standard? If I return to Gorontalo, I would happily stay here again.

I have stayed at other hotels before Aston Gorontalo but I needed to put their review first as I think they deserve it. Aston Gorontalo is a gem of a place in Gorontalo. I have not stayed at any other hotels but I can vouch for A.G. Check in took a bit of time but it was mainly I didn't have prior reservation. The staff is very very helpful. FnB is super good. The hotel is kept spotless by cleaning staff and its a good property to walk around especially near pool area. I will not think twice to book here if I am going there again. All the very best to their whole team and good work by their management.
