The hotel in general is poorly maintained and not clean. Some of the toilets in the lobby area were out of order and dirty/stained. The sink in our 3 rooms were cracked in the middle and plastered to keep the slabs together, however the drainage water keeps on dripping down to our feet everytime we used the sink. The bedsheets, pillowcases were not freshly new when we checked in, all the safety lockers were not working after seeking help from the maintenance, and all the fridges in all 3 rooms were either broken or missing. The aircon in our rooms were working well, however, ย the aircon at the breakfast area were not working. Other clienteles were trying to get the best sitting location near the air blowers provided. we ended up sitting next to an open doorway for breakfast to get some fresh morning breeze. Food selection were limited, and the local spread was somewhat not as tasty or as fresh as other local hotels we have stayed before. We can see that the hotel used to be a grand and beautiful place, it is just a shame to see such a majestic building as Tjokro has lost its sparkle..

The location is excellent, being close to the airport. I appreciated that they offered free pick-up service after I contacted them in advance. However, my room was connected to the next room by a door, so the children's voices from next door were quite loud. I was disappointed that I didn't receive any contact after 30 minutes despite requesting a room change. I had to carry my own luggage and get the key to a different room at the reception. There was hair on the carpet, and the towels and sheets didn't smell very good.

First time staying here and satisfied in terms of service, especially the free shuttle service to Sepinggan Airport provided by the hotel.
