Sutan Raja Hotel Kolaka

Bagus

Stayed here for a week in February 2024 for business. Nice place, nothing fancy but clean enough and comfortable rooms. Initially had issues with A/C in room, but the maintenance team solved the problem, filled cooling agent and the temperature was very comfortable after the maintenance. Decent breakfast but not much of western choice. Possible to have a beer in the outside bar, friendly and helpful staff. The location is close to the sea shore and quite nice for taking a walk along the water. The hotel is in need perhaps of a slight facelift, but nothing critical. Pool is well taken care of and feels clean enough.

The hotel tries hard but it's pretty tired. Rooms are relatively small but some have balconies - unfortunately they face the road where there are no speed bumps and the local youths use it for racing in the evening so it's very noisy. Pick a room at the back if you want a quiet night. The beds are the hardest I've slept on in a long time - not sure why. Generally things are clean. Breakfast is a bit bland but there's plenty there. Other meals were a bit variable. There's access to a Karaoke area if that blows your hair back, otherwise it's a bit quiet. Not even sure if you can get a beer there. Not bad for the area but it's not somewhere you'd go for a holiday. Close to the sea but the locals use if for evening meetings so in the mornings there is rubbish everywhere.
