Belitung hotels & places to stay

Book this hotel for my parents in law and their friends from overseas. Couples in their 60s with one of their adult child. Pretty much the only decent hotel in Belitung. We used to stay here when it was Aston back then. If you look for a good location to do the island hopping, this hotel is nearer to the spot. Beside the hotel, finding food nearby would be a challenge except in the hotel. However, given Belitung is not so big, doing to city centre is just half hour by car. You need a local gudie tho to take you around.

Arumdalu was the best private resort in Belitung, maybe top 5 best private resort in Indonesia. Location is far from the city, so good to relax and escape from the crowd. Facilities also good, but the hotel was not inform us that in this month we can not use the beach activity for the weather reason. Fortunetely we didn't book for room with activities ( we hope that the hotel don't show room availability for such room if they can not provide at that time) We choose room with special lunch (suppose we have lunch on the beach / arumdalu explorer), but for the weather reason we also didn't try it. Location is far from city, so you have to breakfast, lunch and dinner at the property. The food is excellent and price is reasonable (but expensive compare with local food at Belitung, about 200-300K rupiah per-food item and 50-100K rupiah per-beverage) I think there have only about 10 choices of food. So hope next we stay there, hotel can add food variations menu.

At first, I chose MaxOneHotel Belstar for my staycation because it is a new hotel. I did not have any expectation. As long as it is clean enough, I am one happy guest. Turned out, I was more than happy to stay there. The room is not spacious but it is more than enough for two people. I love its cleanliness and I hope the management will always maintain it. The staffs were helpful and kind as well. I remembered asking for omelette and half boiled eggs for breakfast and they could provide it. The location is quite strategic. You can walk on foot to the infamous 'Mie Atep Belitung' at Jl. Sriwijaya and to the nearest ATM and minimart. I definitely love staying at MaxOneHotels Belstar and will recommend it to my friends and family if they are going to Belitung. Worth every penny!

12hours of planes delays to Belitung (Thanks Garuda, Indonesias best, lol) made our day less than enjoyable, but arriving at our place of stay at 11pm, we were impressed and satisfied with what Billiton Hotel & Klub had to offer right from the start. A warm welcome and a no fuss check in alleviated any stress, the clean and fresh room allowed us to relax and chill out immediately. Breakfast was wonderful with a great range of dishes (Cereal, Traditional Indonesian and Asian dishes, freshly made Omelets, freshly squeezed juices, kopi, tehs and an assortment of freshly sliced fruits.) Breakfast was really nice and fresh. We had the fortune to share breakfast with the manager who sat down and discussed the history of the hotel and Belitung and also set us up for a island hopping tour later on in the day. The layout is nice, the ambiance is chilled and relaxed and the hotel would suite families and/or couples as a place to simply unwind or centralize there base for a tour of Belitung island. My fiancee and myself will definitely be back to Billiton because its easily the best a hotel on the Island.

Pros: check in and check was super easy and fast. Staff all very helpful, informative and friendly. Room are clean and tidy, spacious with comfortable bed/pillow. Location near to many restaurant and other coffee shop. We are lucky during our stay, we get beautiful sunset view from our balcony. Cons: selection of breakfast slightly below my expectation. But still good. I suggest more variety in food selection. Extra if there is food specialty from belitung.

The room and the bed was ok, AC and hot water went well. What Memorable to me was that they allowed us to check in early around 8.30 am, I was so happy that we can check in early so that we can explore Belitung a lot more. Wifi works very well in my room so Nothing more I could complain for the price I pay, it is all fine during my stay. My Soto ayam for breakfast was tasty but the fried rice was not good. The view of the beach not so special.

Pelangi resort is so nice.... Big garden, spacious room, quite surrounding, walking distanceto the beach for swimming. We booked wrongly trhough agoda cottage 2 but with price of single room, than we rebook add 1 room, the manager upgrade to remain in cottage 2, very kind of them. From here ry near to Kelayang beach we rent boat for 6 persons with cost 400,000.00 very cheap, we have done joyful island hopping..... Belitung indeed is beautiful island,..

I went to Belitung with 3 other friends and decided to check in at the hotel after visiting Tanjung Tinggi beach in the afternoon. The hotel was easy to locate as it's not far from the round-about and the famous mie Atep also because it's on the main street. Everything were clean in the rooms. Apart from limited TV channel that we didn't see much and rooms location on 4th floor, we don't have much complain.

We stayed at Lor In resort for four nights. We booked the largest rooms available, which were comfy and offered king size beds. They also had Balinese style outdoor bathrooms which were very large and tiled with red marble. The resort has a large pool and dining area. The staff here were excellent and always did their best to ensure that we had an enjoyable stay. The resort offers private transport, rental of bicycles and mopeds, and in-service massages. I'd stay there again if I go back to Belitung Island.

I stayed here for 4 days with my sister in July 2013 without any issues and would go back. The accommodations are very basic but the rooms were a good size and clean. The breakfast was basic but worked for us. The high-speed internet worked well especially in the main lobby. The location was good as it was right in the city. The best part of our stay was the owner and staff who were very helpful and outgoing during our stay. We used Google Translate to communicate with them as we only speak english. They arranged scooters for us to rent and told us exactly where to go for the beach and where to find food. Also the owner was nice enough to take me to the main market to get fruit. Belitung was defiantly a great little island, safe, friendly and has a great beach about 30-45 mins by scooter outside of the city. I would go back no problem but I would have to say it is defiantly for the no frills traveler/backpacker and not for the 5 star tourist.

Bahamas Hotel is very pleasant with large no fuss clean rooms, staff are brillant very friendly and helpful anything you need to know about Belitung they are more then willing to assit. The hotel is located about 15 minute walk from the main town area, however its nice to stay at the hotel as its located direct on the beach front, beer can be bought from the Aloha night club next door after 8pm most nights.

Pros: Fantastic location away from the city for those who want to relax and a beautiful beach. Lovely staff who went out of their way to help us organise SIM cards, island tours and motorbike hire. Very neat and clean rooms right on the beach which was also very clean and rubbish free (a rarity in Indonesia) Delicious food in the restaurant that has a great view. Huge clean swimming pool if you don't want to get sandy. Cons: 96 steps to get to the bungalows from the restaurant (gets easier the more times you go up) not great for the elderly or disabled. Not much variety for breakfast. Wish there was some fruit or cereal on offer. Fortunately it's easy enough to buy in the town and store yourself if you remember.

We stayed for 03 nights in Golden Tulip, everything was good and we didn't have any complaints. WIFI was not working, but that was not priority to us. Staff are very nice and courteous, they assist you everytime. Cleanliness is very good and you feel refreshed when you enter the room. Rooms are very spacious and big. We stayed in a family room, it was big and comfortable. Breakfast was good, but could have been more options, like pasta, sapgheti. Overall our stay was comfortable and we would surely love to stay here, if we come back to Belitung

Grand Hatika Hotel is located in a very good location in Belitung. It's located just across of Tanjung Pandan beach, which is very lively and has beautiful sunset view. It is also only 20 minute walk away from the centre of the city, or only 2 minutes by Ojek. There are quite a lot of foods and Warung in Tanjung Pandan beach, which are very convenient. I am overall very happy with Grand Hatika. The room was very clean and comfortable. The TV has HBO and sports channels. The staff are very friendly and helpful. My parents who were supposed to stay with me had an emergency and they were very helpful in helping them locate and contact nearest Garuda Indonesia office. They have a small but beautiful swimming pool, and has a Mandiri ATM in the hotel area. The room that I was in also has very big and comfortable bed. Although I didn't get a chance to try it, but they were renting bicycles for 3 USD a day (12 hours), which was a steal. One area that can be improved is WiFi. It is very slow and in my room it was very weak. I had an iPad, an iPhone, and a laptop. None of them can connect to the WiFi reliably. In the lobby, the WiFi is stronger, but it's still pretty weak. If you're a business traveller, you might want to get a better internet plan. But even using XL many of the areas in the hotel and surrounding areas are still 2G only. I would definitely come back to stay at Grand Hatika when I visit Belitung again. I hope they will grow and improve in the future.

I had a good time during my stay here. The manager, Ferdhi was very accomodating. He arranged for a pickup and helped me to find an island tour (considering it is hard for a solo traveler to just join a group.) The staff don't speak English that well but they do use Google translate to help! They are very friendly and smiley! The room was cleaned daily with water provided, the hot water in the shower worked well (I've heard from friends that the heater in their hotel did not work.) Good security with cameras and even a guard for the parking lot. I would come back again next time I am in Belitung!

We spent 3 nights in east belitung, we chose Guest Hotel Manggar simply because it looks great in picture The picture and reality looked the same no difference This is the only decent hotel in Manggar, the best one amongst all Still new, surrounded with all 1001 coffeeshof of Manggar, 7 minutes walking to Atet coffeeshop, the best coffeeshop, siu mie noodle and there is a stall that selling rice with foods, nice one Its a very small city, very quiet, so if you expect loud and busy forget it And for the hotel if you expect the Marriot style, forget it But as I said, it is the best in town, even the shower got 3 types of shower, amazing for the hotel in Manggar And if you are english language, better prepare yourself to talk with no one as the staff even not really talking in proper bahasa Well, understandable in the city like Manggar Overall, if you want to spend quite sometimes to explore east of belitung, this hotel can be your number one and only choice

I really like the hotel in term of value of money and location but not about the rest. I requested to get non smoking room and i got it alright but ironically the room is located in front of area where there were some chairs and table for people to sit and chitchat. Some of them smoked there and the smoke went into my room. Please have some common sense. Everyone knows that smkes spread easily. Why you make all rooms free smoking but not common area?
