Grand Samota Hotel

This is a very solid hotel. Probably the only hotel of its type in the city. The rooms are clean and fairly well-maintained. There are some weird design choices, like a lightswitch placed between the matress and the headboard, but they don't get in the way too much. Staff are eager to please. Pickup and dropoff from the airport are free and if you need a lift to one of the ports (say for a trip to Moyo Island) the hotel car will provide a lift at a very low price. The breakfast (costs a bit extra) is fine and worth the money I think. There is an Alpha Mart just a five minute walk away, and everything else in the city is no more than 10 or 15 minutes away on foot. The location is at the end of a quiet street in very good condition. You might hear some noise from the lobby from early-evening Karaoke, but I think everyone clears out by 8 or 9 o'clock.

I stayed for 3 nights in this nice & new hotel with International standards. Shower has hot water! Very comfortable bed. Fast WiFi. Smart TV. Restaurant has a wide variety of food selections, Western & Indonesian, reasonably priced. All staff members are very friendly. Most of them speak English. I met most of the managers and supervisors, who happen to be very professional and friendly. To name a few who made my stay even better, Reception Staff Tasya and Vica. Restaurant Supervisor Syawal & waitstaff Justin. I highly recommend this lovely hotel in Sumbawa Besar!
