Hotel Review: Ketapang Indah Hotel
First time visit to Banyuwangi was in early 2013 for a family event and we stayed at this hotel. Having a good experience and knowledge that this hotel is close to the train station and the Ketapang Ferry Port, I decided to make my second stay at Ketapang Indah Hotel when I was going to hike the Ijen Mountain.
Also find this hotel here:
Location: 9/10
The location for this hotel is easily accessible by car. Banyuwangi City itself is not that big. This hotel lies between the Centre of Banyuwangi City and the Ketapang Port. It's closer to Ketapang Port side and the train station than to the centre of the city. In order to get some local foods, you might need to rent a taxi to the city central. I did rent a taxi without the meter on, we negotiated with the taxi driver to take us to a couple points in Banyuwangi City, mostly different restaurants and fruit vendors, and take us back to our hotel. We ended up paying about IDR 100.000 for the one-hour taxi ride.
Hotel Quality: 8.5/10
The hotel is like a Balinese Hotel and probably the most decent hotel in Banyuwangi. They have a nice lobby with a welcoming drink readily sitting beside the receptionist. The hotel itself is huge and hotel rooms are separated in many different buildings. First time around, you might get lost inside the hotel.
Room Quality: 8/10
It's quite decent. Not a 5 star, but enough for a transit or a two-night stay. The bathroom is alright but again not a 5 star.
Facitilies: 8/10
They have a swimming pool and a children area which makes me think that this is a children friendly hotel. The breakfast area is a spot in the hotel that I like to spend in the morning.
Staffs: 9/10
This hotel lives up to the standard of Balinese Hotels in terms of the friendliness and helpfulness of the staffs. The staffs are very friendly and would help you to give any information from a hike to Mount Ijen, Banyuwangi art parades, to a taxi rental around Banyuwangi.
My overall rating of this hotel would be:
8.5/10
