Kupang hotels & accommodations

stayed here for just 1 night before leaving to Kefamenanu on the next day. booked deluxe room and got the 11th floor facing the sea. it was probably the best sea view room I have ever stayed in. the breakfast was one of the best breakfast I have ever had not only because of the vast variety of food and beverages being offered but also the location of the Balcony restau...

Our stay at Hotel On the Rock was an enjoyable experience. Would have to be one of the best hotels in Kupang. The staff try their best at all times to help from the front desk staff to laundry staff. Agus the doorman is always happy and interested and will organise anything you may want or want to do.

A great location close to the airport and key locations in Kupang, a hotel that helped us accelerate an early check in and make the most of the rest of our stay. The policy of having a refillable lidded glass water jug and shared water dispenser in the hallway should be adopted widely. It was comfortable to have drinking water supplied this way, economising on use of ...

Best hotel in Kupang, from someone who knows Kupang very well (expat living and working in Indonesia). Owned and built by a western engineer, La Hasienda is built well above the standard usually found in Indonesia. This attention to detail carries on throughout the rooms (homely with a big bathroom and hot water that doesn't run out), through to the customer service ...

We stay only two nights in the hotel because it is highly recommended by our friends. For a two-star hotel, the facilities are very good and it is located in the city center. The room is very clean and comfortable. Breakfast was okay. Definitely a good choice for budget hotel in Kupang.

EverGreen is a reasonable place to stay. What I really like about it was that unlike any other hotel I have ever visited in Indonesia, there was a 9 liter Aqua container in the room, so that a visiter could drink water freely, and also make hot drinks (the packets however needed to be purchased at the nearby kiosk). The breakfast was not very good, chocolate toast and ...

Nice interior, good furniture, friendly staff, spacious and clean room and warm light in the bathroom. The only thing I would suggest to change is getting new pillows, because the old ones saw their best days and they should add a mosquito net to the bed. All in all good value!

it's value for money, really close to the airport so good for transit just like I did, provide free airport transfer, a bit far to the city but the car rental is cheap (50k per hour). the staff are very nice too. they also serve food, a bowl of meatballs for only 10ribu rupiah. the balcony/lobby is perfect for someone who loves to staring at the night sky, feel the wi...
